Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000. The principal business office

6. Term of Partnership. The term of the Partnership shall
continue until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2066, or (ii) the death or
adjudication of incompetency as determined by a court of appropriate
jurisdiction of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, unless the Partnership is earlier dissolved and
terminated under this Agreement.
7. Purposes of Partnership; Authorized Acts.
A. (a) Purposes of the partnership are to
(i) acquire, operate, manage and perform all matters necessary
and attendant to the operation of one or more radio stations
in Xxxxx County, Florida,
(ii) invest in, own, sell, acquire, manage and exercise the
voting rights associated with Marketable Securities,
(iii) acquire, hold, sell, own, improve, develop or lease other
types of real and personal property, and
(iv) engage in any other lawful activity for profit approved by
an affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest.

Partners, the Partnership shall not engage in any activity(ies) which

characterization of the Partnership as an investment company as that
term is used in Section 721(b) or any successor provision of the
Code.
-5-
7
B. In furtherance of its purposes, but subject to every other provision of
this Agreement, the Partnership is authorized to do the following:
(a) acquire by purchase, lease or otherwise, any real or
personal, tangible or intangible property that may be necessary, convenient or
incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes of the Partnership;
(b) construct, operate, maintain, finance, improve, own,
sell, convey, exchange, assign, mortgage or lease any property (or a part
thereof) as may be necessary, convenient or incidental to the accomplishment of
the purposes of the Partnership;
(c) borrow money and issue evidences of indebtedness in
furtherance of any purpose of the Partnership and secure the same by a
mortgage, pledge, security interest or other liens on the property, any part
thereof, any interest therein or on any improvements thereto;
(d) prepay, in whole or in part, refinance, increase,
renew, modify or extend any indebtedness of the Partnership and, in connection

any contract in connection with, or necessary or incidental to, the

8. Co-Ownership of Partnership Interests. Any consent required
of a Partner shall require the action or vote of each Person (or in such other
manner as such Persons have designated in writing to the Partnership) having an
interest in such Partnership Interest, with a majority approval needed for
consent. On the death of a co-owner of a Partnership Interest held in either
joint tenancy with right of survivorship or tenancy by the entirety, the
Partnership Interest is owned solely by the survivor as a Partner, and not as
an assignee. The Partnership need not (although it may) recognize the death of
a co-owner of a Partnership Interest until the Managing General Partner
receives notice of the death. A co-owner of a Partnership Interest may sever
the tenancy by giving to the Managing General Partner notice to that effect,
and signed by the co-owner requesting the severance in the case of a joint
tenancy, and by both co-owners in the case of a tenancy by the entirety. Upon
receipt of the notice and the certificate evidencing the Partnership Interest
owned by the co-owners, the Managing General
-6-

Partner shall cause the Partnership Interest to be allocated as directed by the
co-owners and shall indicate on the Partnership records such allocation. In
absence of joint direction, the interests shall be allocated between the owners
as the severed ownership interests would be valued for federal estate tax
purposes.
ARTICLE III
PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL
9. Capital Contributions.
(a) Upon executing this Agreement, each Partner shall
make or has made a Capital Contribution in the amount and of the type, and
initially shall have a Percentage Interest equal to the percentage, set forth
opposite his name on EXHIBIT A. Partners may make (but Limited Partners are not
required to make) additional Capital Contributions at such time and in such
amount as they in their sole discretion shall determine but only if the
Managing General Partner and a Majority in Interest consent to such additional
Capital Contributions. Upon the assignment of any Partnership Interest, the
making of an additional Capital Contribution or any return of a Capital
Contribution, or any substitution of a Partner, EXHIBIT A shall be amended to
accurately reflect the name, address, Capital Contribution and Percentage
Interest of each Partner.
(b) Notwithstanding (a) above, no Capital Contributions
shall be made or permitted by any Partner which would result, directly or
indirectly, in the Partnership being treated as an investment company under
section 721(b) of the Code, and any such attempted Capital Contribution shall
be void ab initio. The Managing General Partner shall withhold its consent to
the making of an additional Capital Contribution, unless it has satisfied
itself (by seeking advice of legal counsel or otherwise) that the making of the
additional Capital Contribution will not result, directly or indirectly, in the
Partnership being treated as an investment company under section 721(b) of the
Code.
(c) A Partner shall not receive from the Managing
General Partner or out of Partnership Property, and the Managing General
Partner and the Partnership shall not return to a Partner, any part of his
Capital Contribution, except as set forth in Articles VIII and IX of this
Agreement and such distribution is determined to be a return of a Partner's
Capital Contribution, and then only if all liabilities of the Partnership,
except liabilities to the Partners on account of their Capital Contributions,
have been paid or there remains property of the Partnership sufficient to pay
them. The Partnership shall not pay interest on Capital Contributions, and a
Partner may demand and receive only cash in return for his Capital
Contribution, except to the extent provided for in Articles VIII and IX of this
Agreement or unless the Liquidator (as defined in section 32) decides to
distribute Partnership property in kind upon the dissolution, winding-up, and
termination of the Partnership, or unless the distribution of property to a
Partner is unanimously approved by the Partners. Each Partner, by signing this
-7-
9
Agreement or a counterpart of it, consents to all distributions authorized by
this Agreement and releases all other Partners from all liability to both him
and the Partnership for all distributions made in accordance with this
Agreement.
10. Capital Account.
(a) The Managing General Partner shall establish and
maintain a Capital Account for each Partner in the Partnership's books of
account. Capital Accounts shall be maintained and adjusted in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Consistent with these capital
account maintenance rules, the Managing General Partner shall credit to each
Partner's Capital Account the amounts of the Partner's Capital Contributions
and any Profits allocated to the Partner. The Managing General Partner shall
charge to or deduct from each Partner's Capital Account the amounts of all
distributions (in cash or other property) to the Partner and any Losses
allocated to the Partner. If 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 transferror to the extent it relates to the
transferred interest.
(b) The provisions of this section and the other
provisions of this Agreement pertaining to the maintenance of Capital Accounts
are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) (or any
successor provision thereto), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent with such Regulations. In the event the Managing General Partner
determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital
Accounts are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, provided that
it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any
Partner without such Partner's consent and upon receipt of an opinion of tax
counsel to the Partnership concluding that such modification will be given
effect for federal income tax purposes, the Managing General Partner may make
such modification.
(c) The Managing General Partner shall revalue the
Partnership's property (based on its fair market value as of the moment
immediately preceding the relevant event) and shall adjust Capital Accounts to
take into account any resulting Profit or Loss (determined as if the
Partnership sold all its property for cash equal to the property's fair market
value) upon the occurrence of either of the following events: (1) the making by
any Partner of any non-Pro Rata additional Capital Contribution, (2) the
partial or complete withdrawal of a Partner's Partnership Interest, or (3) the
admission of a Partner.
11. Expenses Paid by Partners. Any Partnership expense
reasonably paid by any Partner on behalf of the Partnership is an indebtedness
of the Partnership to the Partner and does not increase the Partner's
Partnership Interest or Percentage Interest. The Partnership shall reimburse
the Partner as soon as practicable and may pay interest on the indebtedness.
12. Loans by Partners. The Managing General Partner may borrow
money on behalf of the Partnership from any Partner in such amounts and for
such purposes as it considers necessary, convenient or incidental to the
accomplishment of the purposes of the Partnership.
-8-
10
Each loan to the Partnership by a Partner (excluding reimbursable expenses)
shall be evidenced by a promissory note or similar instrument of the
Partnership, may be secured by a lien on the Property, may bear interest at a
rate determined by agreement between such Partner and the Managing General
Partner and may be subject to such other terms and conditions as are agreed to
by such Partner and the Managing General Partner. The Partnership may prepay
each loan from a Partner in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, without premium or penalty.
ARTICLE IV
PROFITS AND LOSSES AND TAXABLE INCOME AND TAXABLE LOSS
13. Allocations
(a) Allocation of Profits and Losses.
(1) Profits and Losses of the Partnership shall
be allocated Pro Rata among the Partners.
(2) Profits and Losses of the Partnership shall
be determined for each fiscal year of the Partnership in accordance with the
method of accounting required or permitted to be used for federal income tax
purposes, with such exceptions thereto as are set forth in this Agreement, and
otherwise in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied
in a consistent manner.
(b) Allocation of Taxable Income and Taxable Loss.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this
section 13(b), allocations of tax items among the Partners shall be consistent
with corresponding book (Profits and Losses) items (if any). For tax purposes,
Profits and Losses, or any item thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted to
reflect Taxable Income and Taxable Loss, or any item thereof, as determined
under the Code and shall be allocated among the Partners in such a manner as to
comply with the provisions of the Code and Regulations thereunder (including,
if necessary, the "minimum gain chargeback provisions" of the Regulations under
Section 704 of the Code). For example, any gain or loss recognized by the
Partnership with respect to property contributed to the Partnership by a
Partner shall be shared among the Partners so as to take account of the
variation, if any, between the basis of the property to the Partnership and its
fair market value at the time of contribution or revaluation, whichever is
applicable, so as to comply with the requirements of Section 704 of the Code.
Thus, for example, if a Partner contributes property to the Partnership whose
agreed fair market value exceeds its adjusted basis in the hands of the
contributing Partner ("built-in gain"), and there have been no events giving
rise to a revaluation, built-in gain with respect to such contributed property
shall first be allocated to such contributing Partner when the Partnership
recognizes gain upon a disposition of such contributed property, but not in an
amount in excess of such built-in gain; the remaining balance of such
recognized gain, if any,
-9-
11
shall be allocated among the Partners as set forth herein. The allocation of
built-in gain to a contributing Partner shall not increase such Partner's
Capital Account, because such gain was already taken into account when the
built-in gain property was contributed to the Partnership. A Partner who
contributes property other than cash shall provide the Managing General Partner
with information necessary to verify the contributing Partner's adjusted tax
basis in the items of property contributed by him to the Partnership.
(2) Generally, except as provided in section
13(b)(i), Taxable Income and Taxable Loss (and each such income and loss item)
shall be allocated Pro Rata among the Partners. In the event, however, that
non-Pro Rata distributions of property are made to a Partner or the net
proceeds from the sale of property are distributed non-Pro Rata to a Partner,
Taxable Income and Taxable Loss derived from such distributions or sales shall
be allocated 100% to such Partner, subject only to such modifications as are
necessary to comply with Section 704 of the Code.
ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS, WITHDRAWALS AND LOANS
14. Distributions.
(a) Cash Flow Distributions. Cash Flow shall be
distributed Pro Rata among the Partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Partners unanimously agree, the Partnership may distribute Cash Flow
attributable to a sale of property in a non-Pro Rata manner.
(b) Partial or Complete Withdrawal by a Partner From the
Partnership.
(1) In the event of a partial or complete
withdrawal of a Partner from the Partnership pursuant to Article VIII, the
Managing General Partner shall, as promptly as is reasonably possible,
distribute to the Partner his Pro Rata share of the Marketable Securities
previously contributed by such Partner to the Partnership, cash and other
readily divisible assets of the Partnership. The withdrawing Partner shall
also be entitled to receive cash equal in value to his Pro Rata share of the
fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Managing General Partner) of
any non-readily divisible assets owned by the Partnership. The Managing
General Partner shall, as promptly as possible, distribute this additional
amount of cash, if any, to the withdrawing Partner. Cash distributions to the
withdrawing Partner shall be reduced by such Partner's Pro Rata share of the
liabilities of the Partnership and by any expenses incurred by the Partnership
with respect to the withdrawal of the Partner.
(2) A Partner may request that all or a portion
of the Marketable Securities subject to the requested withdrawal be sold by the
Partnership and the net proceeds (after selling and other expenses) distributed
as directed by him. In the event that the Managing
-10-
12
General Partner is unable to sell these Marketable Securities, it shall
distribute them to the Partner, unless it is notified by the Partner to cancel
the withdrawal.
(3) The Managing General Partner shall not be
required to distribute to the requesting Partner any assets that the
Partnership is legally restricted or prohibited from distributing to the
Partner, unless steps can be taken to remove the restriction or prohibition; in
which case the requesting Partner shall be charged with the expense of removing
such restriction or prohibition. Any distribution hereunder shall also be
subject to the limitations set forth in sections 9(c) and 15, respectively.
(c) Liquidating Distributions. The net proceeds from
liquidation of the Partnership's assets pursuant to its dissolution,
winding-up, and termination shall be distributed, and all Profits and Losses
resulting from the liquidation of the Partnership property shall be allocated,
among the Partners in the proportions and orders of priority specified in this
section 14(c).
(i) The Liquidator shall distribute the net
proceeds from liquidation of the Partnership's assets as follows:
(1) FIRST: To pay all the liabilities
of the Partnership that are then due and payable, except for both Capital
Contributions of Partners and liabilities to the Partners, in the order of
priority required by Florida law; then
(2) SECOND: To establish any reasonable
reserve that the Liquidator may determine is required for unpaid, future, or
contingent liabilities or obligations of the Partnership; then
(3) THIRD: To pay all liabilities of
the Partnership to the Partners, pro rata according to the amounts of their
respective liabilities; then
(4) FOURTH: To the Partners to the
extent of any positive balances in their Capital Accounts, Pro Rata according
to the amounts of their respective positive balances; and then
(5) FIFTH: Any remaining net proceeds
shall be distributed Pro Rata among the Partners.
(ii) Any Profits and Losses and Taxable Income
and Taxable Loss resulting from the disposition of the Partnership's assets in
the process of liquidation shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner
provided in section 13. Any property distributed in kind in the liquidation
shall be valued and treated as if the property were sold and the cash proceeds
were distributed. The Profits and Losses arising from the constructive sale of
the property described in the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the
Partners in the manner provided in section 13.
-11-
13
15. Limitation on Distributions to Partners. A Partner may
receive distributions from the Partnership only to the extent the Partnership's
total assets exceed its total liabilities, other than liabilities to the
Partners on account of their Capital Contributions.
ARTICLE VI

(1) assign all or any part of the property for the
benefit of its creditors or confess a judgment against the Partnership;
(2) take any action in contravention of the Act, the
certificate of limited partnership or this Agreement;
(3) sell, lease, transfer, assign, pledge or encumber a
substantial portion (10% or more) in value of the property of the Partnership
(except with respect to transactions to which section 28 or section 32
applies); or
(4) admit a Person as a Partner of the Partnership.
19. Dealing with Affiliates. The Managing General Partner may
employ and enter into contracts and other arrangements with any Person,
including an Affiliate, and may obligate the Partnership to pay reasonable
compensation for services rendered by such Persons on terms that, in the
judgment of the Managing General Partner, are not less favorable to the
Partnership than would be available from an unrelated party.
20. Indemnification of General Partners. The Managing General
Partner need not secure the performance of its duties by bond or otherwise. A
General Partner is not liable, responsible, or accountable in damages or
otherwise to any Partner or to the Partnership for any
-14-
16
act taken or omission made in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a
manner that such General Partner reasonably believes to be within the scope of
the authority granted to it by this Agreement and in the best interest of the
Partnership, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any loss,
expense (including attorneys' fees) or damage incurred by a General Partner by
reason of any act or omission by it in good faith on behalf of the Partnership
and in a manner that it reasonably believes to be within the scope of the
authority granted to it by this Agreement and in the best interest of the
Partnership (but not, in any event, any loss, expense or damage incurred by a
General Partner by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be
paid to the indemnified General Partner from the Partnership's assets, to the
extent available.
21. Liability of Non-Managing General Partner. The non-managing
General Partners are not liable to any other Partner for the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Managing General Partner.
22. Authority of Non-Managing General Partner. The non-managing
General Partners shall not participate in the management of, or have any
control over, the business or policies of the Partnership, except as required
by the Act or permitted by section 18, and shall not transact any business in
the name of the Partnership. Unless required by the Act, a non-managing
general partner shall not sign any agreement, document or instrument in the
name of the Partnership or otherwise make commitments on behalf of the
Partnership.
ARTICLE VII
TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
23. General Partners. Subject to section 24, a General Partner
may make an Assignment, directly or indirectly, of all or any part of its
Partnership Interest. However, an Assignment does not relieve such General
Partner of its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, or constitute
the assignee a General Partner, or confer on the assignee any Partnership
Rights. Subject to section 24, and only if a Majority in Interest consents, a
General Partner may make an Assignment of both its Partnership Interest and its
Partnership Rights if the assignee assumes in writing all such General
Partner's obligations and liabilities under this Agreement and if all the
applicable requirements of section 25 are satisfied. Upon compliance with the
immediately preceding sentence, an assignee of such General Partner has all the
rights and powers granted to such General Partner under this Agreement and has
all the obligations and liabilities of such General Partner under this
Agreement.
24. Restriction on Transfer. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, an assignment of a Partnership Interest shall not
be made, and consent thereto shall be withheld:
-15-
17
(a) Unless the Managing General Partner has satisfied
itself (by seeking advice of legal counsel or otherwise, with any resulting
Partnership expense to be reimbursed by the assignor) that the assignment will
not have any significant adverse tax effect upon the Partnership or the other
Partners;
(b) Unless the Managing General Partner has satisfied
itself (by advice of legal counsel, with any resulting Partnership expense to
be reimbursed by the assignor) that the proposed assignment may be made without
registration under any applicable securities law; and it will not violate any
applicable securities law (including investor suitability standards);
(c) If the Assignment is sought to be made to:
(i) a minor or incompetent, except if made by
will or intestate succession, or
(ii) to a Person which is not an Affiliate.
25. Admission of Substitute Partner. Subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement, an assignee of a Partnership Interest may be
admitted as a Partner and granted Partnership Rights only if:
(a) the Assignment is made pursuant to a written
instrument in a form satisfactory to the Managing General Partner and specifies
the intention of the assignor that the assignee be substituted as a Partner;
(b) the Managing General Partner consents to the
admission by executing two counterparts of this Agreement that evidences the
Partnership Rights of the assignee, and if the assignee is to be admitted as a
General Partner a Majority in Interest consent to the admission;
(c) the assignee accepts, signs and agrees to be bound
by this Agreement, by executing two counterparts of this Agreement, including
an amended EXHIBIT A, and such other documents or instruments as the Managing
General Partner requires to effect the admission of the assignee as a Partner;
(d) the assignee provides the Managing General Partner
with evidence satisfactory to it of the assignee's authority to become a
Partner under the terms of this Agreement;
(e) the assignee pays all filing, publication and other
costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by either the Partnership
or the Managing General Partner in connection with the admission and
substitution of the assignee as a Partner.
-16-
18
Notwithstanding an assignee's satisfaction of any or all of the
conditions specified above, the Managing General Partner, in its absolute
discretion, may refuse to consent to the assignee's admission as a Partner, in
which event the assignee will not obtain any Partnership Rights, but will
retain only the rights of an assignee under section 23.
26. Rights of Partner After Assignment and Substitution. Upon
the Assignment of all his Partnership Interest, and the admission of a
substitute partner, a Partner shall cease to be a Partner and to have any
Partnership Rights.
27. Allocations and Distributions After Assignment. For the
purposes of allocations of Profits and Losses, Taxable Income or Taxable Loss,
and distributions, an Assignment of a Partnership Interest is effective as to
the Partnership, and shall be reflected in the records of the Partnership, as
of the date that the Managing General Partner receives written notice of the
Assignment. The Taxable Income or Taxable Loss, Profits and Losses and cash
and other distributions in respect of the assigned Partnership Interest with
respect to the fiscal year in which the Assignment of the Partnership Interest
occurs shall be divided between the assignor and the assignee according to the
method provided to the Managing General Partner by the assignor and the
assignee, so long as such method is permitted under the Code and does not
adversely affect the other Partners or the Partnership from a tax or economic
perspective. The method of allocation shall be provided to the Managing
General Partner in the written notice of the Assignment. Any additional costs
for computing the allocations hereunder shall be paid by the assignor or
assignee, as the case may be. The written notice referred to above shall also
contain information as to whether the assignor or assignee shall be responsible
for the payment of such additional cost, if any.
ARTICLE VIII
RETIREMENT, WITHDRAWAL, OR REMOVAL OF PARTNERS
28. Withdrawal of Non-Managing General Partner and Limited
Partners.
(a) A non-managing General Partner and a Limited Partner
may, at any time, partially withdraw his Partnership Interest from the
Partnership by providing written notice thereof to the Managing General
Partner. The Managing General Partner shall promptly send a copy of such
notice to all other Partners. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of
such written notice from a Partner, the Managing General Partner shall make the
appropriate distributions to the Partner in partial or complete redemption of
his Partnership Interest as set forth in section 14(b).
(b) A partial withdrawal by a Partner shall be made in
increments of one-tenth (1/10th) of one percent (1%) of a Percentage Interest.
The written notice of withdrawal from a Partner to the Managing General Partner
must state whether the withdrawal is a partial or complete withdrawal and, if a
partial withdrawal, must state the Percentage Interest that is
-17-
19
being withdrawn. A Partner shall not make a partial withdrawal that will
result in his remaining Percentage Interest becoming less than one-tenth
(1/10th) of one percent (1%) immediately after the withdrawal.
(c) The Managing General Partner agrees that it will
fully cooperate to the extent permitted by law to accomplish a withdrawal
requested by a non-managing General Partner and a Limited Partner hereunder.
It also agrees that it will not take any action that will obstruct or render
impossible the application of this section 28 (such as to pledge the
Partnership's Marketable Securities as collateral to creditors of the
Partnership), unless such action is essential to accomplish the purposes of the
Partnership.
(d) The partial withdrawal of a non-managing General
Partner or a Limited Partner does not dissolve or terminate the Partnership
unless there is only one Partner then remaining. The remaining Partners shall
amend this Agreement to reflect the partial or complete withdrawal of the
Partner from the Partnership, if and to the extent necessary.
(e) Upon the giving of the notice of withdrawal pursuant to
Paragraph (a), and upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the voting rights
with respect to any Marketable Securities allocable to the Percentage Interest
being withdrawn shall be vested in the withdrawing Partner or Partners, and the
Partnership shall have no voting rights with respect to such stock.
29. Retirement or Withdrawal of General Partner. The Managing
General Partner may not withdraw any part of its General Partnership Interest.
The Retirement of the Managing General Partner shall dissolve the Partnership.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the
contrary, a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Managing General
Partner, or a sale of all or substantially all its assets that includes its
Partnership Interest, is not a Retirement of such Managing General Partner if
the resulting, surviving or acquiring Person is an Affiliate and becomes
substituted as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership. The resulting,
surviving or acquiring Person is substituted as the Managing General Partner
without further act if it gives notice of the substitution to the Partners
before the effective date of the merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale.
Each Partner consents to the admission and substitution of such substitute
Managing General Partner pursuant to this section 29, and no further consent or
approval of any Partner is required.
30. Rights of Partner After Retirement or Withdrawal. A Partner
ceases to have any Partnership Rights upon his Retirement or complete
withdrawal from the Partnership. However, until the appropriate distributions,
if any, are made to a Retired or withdrawn Partner for his Partnership
Interest, the Retired or withdrawn Partner is entitled to receive the
allocations of Profits and Losses, Taxable Income or Taxable Loss and all
distributions referred to in section 14 applicable to his Partnership Interest.
-18-

ARTICLE IX
DISSOLUTION
31. Events of Dissolution. The Partnership shall be terminated
and dissolved upon:
(a) the expiration of its term;
(b) the vote of a Majority in Interest to dissolve the
Partnership;
(c) the Partnership being adjudicated insolvent or
bankrupt;
(d) the Retirement of the Managing General Partner;
(e) the death of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx; or
(f) the sale of all or substantially all of the
Partnership's Property.
32. Winding-Up and Distributions. Upon the dissolution of the
Partnership pursuant to section 31, the winding-up of the Partnership's
business and the liquidation and distribution of Partnership assets must be
carried out with due diligence and in a timely manner, and consistent with both
the requirements of applicable law and the following provisions of this
section:
(a) The Managing General Partner shall be responsible
for taking all actions relating to the winding-up, liquidation, and
distribution of assets of the Partnership, unless its Retirement causes the
dissolution, in which case the fiscal agent, liquidator, or receiver appointed
(without judicial action) by a Majority in Interest shall be so responsible.
The Managing General Partner, or the appointed fiscal agent, liquidator, or
receiver, is referred to in this Agreement as the "Liquidator." A non-managing
General Partner can be appointed to be the Liquidator. The Liquidator shall
file all certificates or notices of the dissolution of the Partnership as
required by law. Upon the complete liquidation and distribution of the
Partnership assets, the Partnership shall terminate, and the Liquidator shall
execute, acknowledge, and cause to be filed all certificates and notices
required by law to terminate the Partnership.
(b) The Liquidator shall proceed without unnecessary
delay to sell and otherwise liquidate the Partnership's assets. Unless
directed otherwise by a Majority in Interest, all Marketable Securities, cash
and other readily divisible or fungible assets of the Partnership shall be
distributed directly to the Partners in the manner set forth in section
14(c)(i). The Liquidator shall promptly sell the other assets of the
Partnership unless it determines that an immediate sale of part or all of such
assets would cause undue loss to the Partners. In such case, the Liquidator,
to avoid such loss, may defer the liquidation of the Partnership assets for
-19-
21
a reasonable time, except for those liquidations that are necessary to satisfy
the debts and liabilities of the Partnership to persons and parties other than
the Partners. The Liquidator shall distribute the proceeds from the
liquidation of the Partnership's assets as provided in section 14(c).
(c) Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to
section 31, the Liquidator shall cause the accountants for the Partnership to
prepare within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event of
dissolution, and immediately thereafter shall furnish to each Partner, a
statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the
date of its dissolution. The Liquidator, promptly following the complete
liquidation and distribution of the Partnership's assets, shall cause the
Partnership's accountants to prepare, and the Liquidator shall furnish to each
person who is a Partner immediately before the dissolution, a statement showing
the manner in which the Partnership assets were liquidated and distributed.
33. Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds and Assets and
Allocation of Gains and Losses. The net proceeds from liquidation of the
Partnership's assets and the unliquidated Property of the Partnership shall be
distributed, and all Profits and Losses resulting from the liquidation of the
Partnership shall be allocated, among the Partners in the proportions and
orders of priority specified in section 14(c).
34. Limitation of Liability of Partners. Upon the dissolution
of the Partnership and the distribution of the net liquidation proceeds
pursuant to section 31 and section 14(c), each Partner shall look solely to the
assets of the Partnership for the payment of his unreturned Capital
Contributions, and if the Partnership's assets remaining after the payment or
discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership are insufficient to
pay the full amount of the unreturned Capital Contributions of each Partner,
the Partner shall have no recourse or claim against any Partner or the
Partnership with respect to its unreturned Capital Contributions, except for
claims for fraud, gross negligence, or breach of fiduciary duty.
35. Waiver of Right of Partition of Assets. Each Partner, and
for his heirs, successors, and assigns, waives his right to the partition of
the assets of the Partnership upon the dissolution and liquidation of the
Partnership.
ARTICLE X
ACCOUNTING YEAR, BOOKS, RECORDS, AND REPORTS
36. Books and Records. The Managing General Partner shall
maintain at the principal office of the Partnership a complete and accurate set
of books of records and accounts, in which it shall make full and complete
entries of all dealings or transactions relating to the Partnership's business
and where it shall keep all supporting documentation of transactions with
respect to the conduct of the Partnership's business. Each Partner or his duly
authorized representative, upon five days' advance notice to the Managing
General Partner, may examine
-20-
22
during normal business hours the books of the Partnership and all other records
and information concerning the operation of the Partnership.
37. Reports. If requested by a Partner at least 30 days prior
to the end of a quarter, within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter in
each fiscal year of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner shall cause
to be prepared and sent to each Partner a balance sheet, income statement and
cash flow statement of the Partnership for and as of the end of that fiscal
quarter, in each case unaudited but accompanied by a report of the activities
of the Partnership for that quarter. Within 90 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner shall cause to be
prepared and sent to each Partner a financial report consisting of (a) a
balance sheet as of the end of the fiscal year; (b) statements of income,
partner's equity, and changes in financial position for the fiscal year; (c) if
requested by a Partner, the opinion of the Partnership's certified public
accountant concerning the foregoing financial statements; (d) a summary of the
Partnership's activities for the fiscal year; (e) a statement showing the
distributions to each Partner during the fiscal year and identifying any
distributions which constitute a return of Capital Contribution; and (f) a
statement showing the amount of Taxable Income or Taxable Loss, and listing
each item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit allocated or charged
against the Partner for federal and state income tax purposes.
38. Bank Accounts. The Managing General Partner shall maintain
the bank accounts of the Partnership in such financial institutions as the
Managing General Partner considers appropriate. The Managing General Partner
shall make or permit withdrawals from the Partnership's bank accounts on the
signature of the Managing General Partner.
39. Tax Elections. The Partnership shall file an election under
Section 754 of the Code, relating to the optional adjustment to the basis of
partnership property, at the first time it is permitted to do so after the
beginning of the term of this Partnership. The Managing General Partner shall
make or waive, at its discretion, all other tax elections required or permitted
to be made by the Partnership under the Code.
40. Accounting Method and Fiscal Year. The Managing General
Partner shall maintain the Partnership records and books of accounts in
accordance with the method of accounting required or permitted to be used for
federal income tax purposes, with such modifications as are set forth in this
Agreement, and otherwise in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied. The fiscal year of the Partnership is the
calendar year.
ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
41. Partnership Contracts. The Managing General Partner may

-21-
23
indicate to the other parties that the Partnership is a general partnership of
which the Managing General Partner is a general partner.
42. Conveyances. Subject to section 18, the Managing General
Partner may sign any deed, mortgage, lease, xxxx of sale, security agreement,
pledge, contract or other instrument or commitment purporting to convey or
encumber any of the Partnership's Property or any interest therein, whether now
or subsequently owned or leased at any time by the Partnership, and no other
signature is required.
43. Notices. To be effective, a notice required or permitted by
this Agreement must be in writing, or by telegram, telex or telecopy if

General Partner or the Partnership, to the attention of such Managing General
Partner at the Partnership's principal business office.
44. Consents. Any consent required by this Agreement may be
given as follows:
(a) by a writing given by the consenting Partner and
received by the Managing General Partner or other appropriate recipient at or

solicited, unless the consent is nullified by:
(i) A writing from the consenting Partner that

or other thing for which the consent was solicited; or
(ii) the negative vote by the consenting Partner
at any meeting called for the purpose of considering the action or other thing.
(b) by the affirmative vote of the consenting Partner at
any meeting called for the purpose of considering the action or other thing for
which the Partner's consent was solicited.
45. Meetings. The Managing General Partner may call meetings of
the Partners for any purpose, at any time. The Managing General Partner shall
call a meeting of the Partners within 30 days after he receives from a Majority
in Interest a written request for a meeting, stating the purpose of the
requested meeting and the matters proposed for consideration. Meetings of the
Partners may be held at such time, date and place as the Managing General
Partner designates. The Managing General Partner shall give notice of any
meeting of the Partners not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date
of the meeting, to each Partner at his registered address listed on EXHIBIT A.
The notice shall state the time, date and place of the meeting, the purpose of

24

Partners with respect to the Partnership and its purposes and objectives and
supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement or representation, oral or
written, by any of them. Except to admit a new or a substitute Partner or to
reflect the withdrawal or Retirement of a Partner, this Agreement and every
provision of it may be modified or amended only by an agreement in writing
signed by or on behalf of all Partners.

of each Partner is evidenced exclusively by a counterpart of this Agreement
(including EXHIBIT A) that has been signed and dated by the Managing General
Partner.

AMENDMENT NUMBER 1 TO THE
AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF
XXXXXX BROADCASTING OF JACKSONVILLE, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
This Amendment Number 1 to Agreement of Limited Partnership of Xxxxxx
Broadcasting of Jacksonville, Limited Partnership ("Amendment") is effective as
of the 1st day of January, 1992, by and between XXXXXX ENTERPRISES, INC., a
Nevada corporation, as the General Partner and XXXXXX XXXXXX, as a Limited
Partner. The parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendment to Definitions. The following definition should be
added to Section 1 following the definition of the term "Act:"
"Adjusted Capital Account Deficit" means, with respect to any
Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Partner's Capital
Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect
to the following adjustments:
(i) Credit to such Capital Account any amount which such
Partner is obligated to restore (pursuant to the terms of a promissory
note or otherwise) or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to
the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5); and
(ii) Debit to such Capital Account the items described in
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), and
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Regulations.
The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is
intended to comply with the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)
of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith."
2. Amendment to Section 9. Section 9 is amended by inserting
the following subsections (d) and (e) at the end thereof:
"(d) Any payments made by the Limited Partner as a guarantor
of obligations of the Partnership shall be treated as additional
Capital Contributions to the Partnership."
"(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, if any Partner's Capital Account has a deficit balance
("Deficit Capital Account Balance") upon liquidation of the
Partnership (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions,
and allocations for all taxable years, including the year in which
such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall contribute to the Capital
of the Partnership the amount necessary to restore such deficit
balance to 0 in
-1-
31
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d); provided,
however, that a Partner's obligation to restore such Deficit Capital
Account Balance shall not exceed the amount of the Partnership's
liability under the Credit and Guaranty Agreement among Xxxxxx
Broadcasting of Miami, Limited Partnership, Xxxxxx Broadcasting of
Orlando, Limited Partnership, Xxxxxx Broadcasting of Jacksonville,
Limited Partnership, and Xxxxxx Broadcasting of Tampa, Limited
Partnership, and Citibank, N.A. (the "Credit Agreement")."
3. Amendment to Section 13. Section 13 is amended by inserting
the following provisions as subsections (c) and (d) thereof:
"(c) Losses. The Losses allocated pursuant to Sections
13(a) and 13(b) hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses
that can be so allocated without causing any Partner who is not a
General Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end
of any fiscal year. In the event some but not all of the Partners who
are not General Partners would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits
as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 13(b), the limitation set forth in this Section 13(c) shall
be applied on a Partner by Partner basis so as to allocate the maximum
permissible Loss to each Partner who is not a General Partner under
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations. All Losses in excess
of the limitation set forth in this Section 13(c) shall be allocated
to the General Partner.
(d) Special Allocations. The following special
allocations shall be made in the following order:
(1) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any
Partner who is not a General Partner unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be
specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations,
the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as
possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section
13(d)(1) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner
would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other
allocations provided for in this Section 13 have been tentatively made
as if this Section 13(d)(1) were not in the Agreement.
(2) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any
Partner who is not a General Partner has a deficit Capital Account at
the end of any Partnership fiscal year that is in excess of the sum of
(i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore (pursuant to the
terms of a promissory note or otherwise), and (ii) the amount such
Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the
penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5),
-2-
32
each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership
income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible,
provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 13(d)(2) shall be
made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit
