11
over to the transferee.
8. ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
(A) No Partner is required to make an additional capital contribution
except as set forth in subparagraph (B). However, voluntary capital
contributions are permitted under the circumstances set forth below in
subparagraphs (C)-(D) of this Article 8.
(B) If the Partnership requires additional funds at any time, or from time
to time, the Xxxxxxxx Group shall advance and re-advance the first $50,000 of
those funds, and if $50,000 has been so advanced by the Xxxxxxxx Group and has
not been repaid, in whole or in part, by the Partnership, the members of the
Investor Group shall (subject to compliance by the Xxxxxxxx Group with its
obligations hereunder) advance and re-advance as and when needed by the
Partnership, as determined by the General Partners in their reasonable
discretion (which discretion may be exercised notwithstanding the willingness of
Partners or others to lend the Partnership money as permitted under Article 9
["Rights, Duties and Obligations of Partners"]) their respective PRO RATA shares
of a total of $50,000 (each Partner to advance up to the amount set forth on
Exhibit A opposite his name), provided however if, at any time, the unrepaid
advances of the Xxxxxxxx Group is less than $50,000, the Xxxxxxxx Group shall
first advance the difference and only after the total of all advances by the
Xxxxxxxx Group which remains unrepaid by the Partnership aggregates $50,000 may
the Investor Group be requested, as set forth above, to advance (or re-advance)
any portion of the next $50,000; and provided further, however, that the
12
obligations of the Xxxxxxxx Group and the Investor Group under this subparagraph
(B) shall not at any time exceed the aggregate of $100,000 and shall be reduced
by the amount of any sums advanced and unrepaid under subparagraph (B) of
Article 8 of the Realty Partnership Agreement. All sums advanced hereunder shall
be repaid, without interest, as provided in Article 10 ("Profits and Losses,
Distributions").
(C) If, at a time when the Partners are not obligated under subparagraph
(B), the business of the Partnership requires additional funds, or if the
contributions so required under subparagraph (B) are not made, the General
Partners, without waiving any other rights they may have, shall submit to the
Partners a plan to obtain such additional funds through pro rata voluntary
contributions 53% thereof from the Xxxxxxxx Group and 47% thereof from the
Investor Group. If Partners holding an aggregate of 67 in Capital Percentage
(including members of the Investor Group holding 67 in Capital Percentage) then
approve the plan, the General Partners shall implement it and all Partners shall
be bound thereby. If the plan is not so approved, or if having been approved is
not implemented in accordance with its terms, the General Partners acting
jointly may either (1) seek to obtain a voluntary capital contribution or
contributions to the Partnership from one or more persons, firms or corporations
(including, but not limited to, existing Limited Partners who are members of the
Investor Group, the General Partners, or Affiliates of any of the foregoing)
desiring to make a capital contribution to the Partnership of all or part of the
required additional funds, upon such terms and conditions, and with such
13
dilution or priorities in allocations or Distributions or both (including
adjustments in Capital Percentages) as the General Partners may reasonably
determine, and may admit additional partners for this purpose; or (2) obtain
from one or more persons, firms or corporations (including but not limited to,
existing Partners or Affiliates of the foregoing) loans of such sums as are felt
necessary, which loans shall be repayable on such terms as may be agreed to by
the General Partners, as permitted under Article 9 ("Rights, Duties and
Obligations of Partners"). (Any such voluntary contributions to the Partnership
by a person, firm or corporation [including but not limited to such existing
Partners or Affiliates of any of the foregoing] shall be called a "Supplemental
Capital Contribution" and the person, firm or corporation making such
Supplemental Capital Contribution shall be called a "Supplemental Contributor".)
To the extent any Supplemental Capital Contributions in excess of the amounts
needed are contributed, such excess Supplemental Capital Contributions shall be
promptly returned in such proportion as the General Partners shall determine,
without interest, to each Supplemental Contributor, but the Supplemental
Contributor shall not be entitled to the benefits of subparagraphs (C) and (D)
with respect to such excess.
(D) Upon the making of a Supplemental Capital Contribution, the
Supplemental Contributor shall receive from the Net Profits, Net Losses and
Distributions, such priorities and preferences and, in addition, the Capital
Percentage that the General Partners shall reasonably determine to be
appropriate.
14
(E) Each of the Partners acknowledges that his failure to make the capital
contribution required under subparagraph (B) and the subsequent need for funds
at a time when the Partners are not obligated thereunder may subject the
Partnership and each of the other Partners to losses in an amount presently
impossible to calculate with any accuracy. Accordingly, each Partner accepts the
procedure whereby his interest in the Partnership may be diluted or subordinated
as provided in subparagraphs (C) and (D) of this Article, and as permitted under
Article 9 ("Rights, Duties and Obligations of Partners") as fair compensation
for the loss (in the nature of liquidated damages) which the Partnership and the
Partners who do make capital contributions will suffer, and not as a penalty.
Furthermore, except as provided for in this Article, neither the Partnership nor
any Partner or other person, firm or corporation shall have any other remedies,
and no Partner shall be subject to any liability other than as set forth in this
Article arising from the failure of a Partner to volunteer to make capital
contributions. The personal liability of the Partners to make capital
contributions under subparagraph (B) shall be limited to the respective sums set
forth on Exhibit A opposite each Partner's name plus interest as permitted by
law.
All contributions made under this Article shall be sent to the
principal office of the Partnership in the manner set forth in the notice, or to
such other place as set forth in a notice.
9. RIGHTS, DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARTNERS
15
(A) Except as specifically qualified by this Agreement, the General
Partners shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all of the
restrictions and liabilities of a general partner under the New York Revised
Limited Partnership Act.
(B) As part of the ordinary business of the Partnership, the General
Partners shall manage the affairs of the Partnership and, in that connection,
without limitation, have all the powers of a partner in a partnership which is
not a limited partnership and owns, operates and manages a first-class
restaurant open to the public.
(C) The General Partners may, but are not required to, borrow from any
source, including Partners or the Realty Partnership or Affiliates thereof, upon
such terms as the General Partners may determine. In connection with any such
loan which may be made, the General Partners may also agree to repay such loan
with or without interest prior to making any Distributions under Article 10
("Profits and Losses; Distributions").
(D) Each Partner recognizes that the other Partners and their respective
Affiliates are presently engaged in other business ventures and activities which
could be considered to be competitive with the activities of the Partnership.
The General Partners and any Limited Partner may engage in other business
ventures of every nature and description, independently or with others,
including but not limited to, the real estate or restaurant businesses in all
its phases, even if same competes with the Partnership, and neither the
Partnership nor any Partner hereof shall have any rights in and to said
16
independent venture, or the income or profits derived therefrom, by reason of
his interest in this Partnership.
(E) Except as provided in this Agreement or in the Realty Partnership
Agreement, no Partner shall receive any fee for rendering management or
supervisory management services to the Partnership.
(F) Subject to the subsequent provisions of this subparagraph (F), the
General Partners may employ, on behalf of the Partnership, such persons, firms
or corporations as they, in their sole judgment, shall deem advisable, necessary
or helpful for the proper and efficient operation and management of the business
of the Partnership, including a general contractor or management agents,
investment advisors, brokers, accountants and lawyers, even if any is an
Affiliate, on such terms and for such compensation as they, in their sole
judgment, shall determine, provided the compensation and terms are comparable to
those generally available in New York City from firms which are not related. The
fact that a Partner or any member of the family of a Partner or Affiliate of a
Partner is directly or indirectly interested in or connected with any person,
firm or corporation employed by the Partnership to render or perform a service,
or from which or whom the Partnership may buy merchandise or other property,
shall not prohibit the General Partners from employing such person, firm or
corporation or from otherwise dealing with him or it, provided the terms and
compensation are comparable with those available in New York City from firms
which are not related. Without limiting the
17
foregoing, The Xxxxx & Wollensky Restaurant Group, Inc. may be retained by the
Partnership to provide the Partnership and the Realty Partnership with all
necessary bookkeeping, accounting and normal legal services for which it will be
paid an annual fee of 2.3% of all Sales (hereafter defined) provided, however,
if the business of The Xxxxx & Wollensky Restaurant Group, Inc. is not operated
and directed by Xxxxxxxx, the Corporate General Partner may terminate the
retention of such entity and replace such entity with any person, firm and
corporation selected by the Corporate General Partner. As used herein, the term
"Sales" shall mean all monies received by the Partnership or for its account,
from the operation of the Restaurant, in cash, by credit card or otherwise, but
less, as to all the foregoing, in respect of the Restaurant, bona fide refunds
to customers, gratuities and tips in fact paid out by the Partnership to
employees of the Restaurant, the value of meals served to employees and taxes
imposed and paid by the Partnership on customer checks. If any portion of the
Property is occupied by The Xxxxx & Wollensky Restaurant Group, Inc., or any
Affiliate, except as an office of the manager used exclusively for the business
of the Partnership or the Realty Partnership, The Xxxxx & Wollensky Restaurant
Group, Inc. or such Affiliate shall pay the fair rental value therefor.
(G) (1) The General Partners are hereby authorized, without limitation,
(A) to maintain title to the assets of the Partnership in the name of an
individual or corporate nominee or (B) to transfer such assets to a duly
organized corporation in exchange for stock in said corporation, if in their
sole judgment and discretion the corporate form of
18
organization would best serve the interests of the Partners hereto. Each Partner
shall have the same proportionate beneficial interest in the stock of said
corporation as he had with respect to the Partnership but the stock may be
issued in the name of the General Partners and held in trust for the benefit of
the Partners. Officers and Directors of such corporation shall be elected by the
Partners upon such terms and conditions as the General Partners, in their sole
discretion, deem advisable. The General Partners may elect to distribute the
stock to the Partners, in which event the Partners, as stockholders, shall
continue to be bound by the provisions of Article 9 ("Rights, Duties and
Obligations of Partners") and Article 10 ("Profits and Losses; Distributions")
and Article 8 ("Additional Capital") of this Agreement except that the
difference between the fair market value of the stock (determined by an
independent appraisal of the assets of the corporation) and the value at which
it is carried on the books of the Partnership shall be determined, and the
difference shall be credited or charged to the Partners in accordance with their
Capital Percentages.
(2) The General Partners are hereby authorized, without
limitation, to do any or all of the following: (A) to convert the Partnership
pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, Delaware or any other
jurisdiction, into a limited liability company and (B) to merge the Partnership
(or the limited liability company to which the Partnership was converted) and
the Realty Partnership (or the limited liability company to
19
which the Realty Partnership was converted) into a limited liability company
organized pursuant to the laws of the States of New York, Delaware or any other
jurisdiction and, in such case, operate the businesses theretofore conducted by
the Partnership (or the limited liability company to which the Partnership was
converted) and by the Realty Partnership (or the limited liability company to
which it was converted), through separate divisions of such limited liability
company, or (C) to transfer all of its assets associated with owning and
operating the Restaurant to a limited liability company, wholly owned by the
Partnership and execute and deliver an operating agreement for such limited
liability company, the provisions of which do not alter the financial and
non-financial provisions, in any material respects, of this Agreement, and, upon
such transfer, execution and delivery, to merge the Partnership into the Realty
Partnership if, in the judgment of the General Partners, any of the foregoing
acts described in clause (A), (B) or (C) would best serve the interests of the
Partners. If the acts described in clause (A) or (B) occur, each Partner shall
have the same proportionate interest in the new entity (or in the appropriate
division of the limited liability company, if the limited liability company is
so operated), which such Partner had in the Partnership and, in the event of
such conversion to or merger into a limited liability company, said company (and
each of its divisions if the company is so operated) shall be managed by the
General Partners, as managers, and the Partners shall have interests as members
of the limited liability company, and the appropriate divisions thereof, in the
same proportion as they hold interests as Partners in
20
the Partnership and the operating agreement for any such limited liability
company, if it has separate divisions, shall provide for a single capital
account for each member consisting of two sub-accounts, one relating to the
operations heretofore conducted by the Partnership and the other relating to
operations heretofore conducted by the Realty Partnership, the opening balance
of each such sub- capital account will equal the final balance of the Capital
Account maintained for such Partner on the books of the Partnership and the
Realty Partnership, as applicable, and Net Profits and Net Losses shall be
allocated and Distributions made in the manner set forth in this Agreement and
in the Realty Partnership Agreement. In all other respects, the operating
agreement for any such limited liability company shall contain terms and
provisions identical to those of this Agreement and the Realty Partnership
Agreement.
(H) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (G) of this Article,
the Corporate General Partner may at any time elect to organize a new limited
partnership (the "New Master Limited Partnership"), in which event the members
of the Investor Group will if requested by the Corporate General Partner at any
time, or from time to time, assign all, or any part, of their respective
partnership interests in the Partnership to such New Master Limited Partnership
and such New Master Limited Partnership may become a limited partner of this
Partnership. The partnership agreement of the New Master Limited Partnership
shall contain terms and conditions substantially similar to those of this
Agreement but in addition shall contain such additional terms and conditions
21
as may be reasonably requested by the members of the Xxxxxxxx Group to protect
the rights and privileges of the Xxxxxxxx Group under this Agreement. After the
transfer to the New Master Limited Partnership the general partner thereof may,
in his or its discretion, determine that it be preferable that the limited
partners of the New Master Limited Partnership again be limited partners of this
Partnership, in which event such partnership interests will, if requested, be
re-transferred, in whole or in part as so requested, to this Partnership
whereupon the assignees may again request to become Limited Partners of this
Partnership, but shall otherwise be revested with their other rights and
privileges hereunder.
(I) No General Partner shall be liable, responsible or accountable in
damages or otherwise to any of the Limited Partners for acts performed within
the scope of the authority conferred by this Agreement, except for acts of
willful misconduct, fraud, bad faith or gross negligence, provided, however,
that such limitation shall not affect any of the rights granted the Partners by
the Act.
(J) The General Partners shall, if requested, make the election described
in Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code, or provisions comparable thereto,
at the time of such election.
(K) The powers and rights of the General Partners, conferred under this
Agreement or by law, may be exercised by either of them except:
22
(1) Where the vote of the Partners is required as set forth in

extent of such negative
29
balances so as to bring the capital balances of such Partners
to zero; and
(ii) second, any balance if all of the Property has been
sold, or all of the net profits if less than all of the

provisions of Articles 8 ("Additional Capital") and 9 ("Rights, Duties and
Obligations of Partners") and have not been previously repaid hereunder or under
subparagraph (F)(1) of Article 10 of the Realty Partnership Agreement; and then
(3) Available Funds or Excess Proceeds, or both, shall be paid to
the members of the Investor Group who have made advances as contemplated by
Article 8(B) ("Additional Capital") to the extent that such sums, without
interest thereon, have not

thereof.
(H) In the event that at any time payments are due under subparagraphs
(F)(1), (F)(2) or (F)(3) of this Article, more than one advance has not been
repaid, repayments shall be made in the inverse order in which such advance was
made unless the General Partners otherwise agree with each Partner making such
advance, and as between advances made concurrently, the same shall be repaid PRO
RATA within each such category. The foregoing requirement shall not prevent the
General Partners from subordinating the foregoing priorities to those of parties
who have loaned money or contributed capital to the Partnership if, in its
discretion, such subordination is in the best interests of the Partnership.

Partner shall desire to sell all or any part of his interest in the Partnership,
he shall give notice ("Interest Option Notice") to the other Partners of that
desire and of the price ("Interest Offered Price") and other terms upon which he
desires to sell his interest, provided however, that no member of the Xxxxxxxx
Group may give the Interest Option Notice until first obtaining the written
consent of the members of the Investor Group who hold 67 or more in Capital
Percentage of that Group.

his behalf ("Offering Partner") to each other Partner ("Recipient") to elect by
notice in writing ("Interest Notice of Election") that the Recipient shall
purchase the entire interest of the Offering Partner at a price equal to the
Interest Option Price and otherwise upon the terms and conditions set forth in

provided, however, that the Recipient shall prepay in any year such amount of
principal that will result in minimum principal payments during each twelve (12)
month period after the closing of $75,000. Upon the sending of an Interest
Option Notice, the Offering Partner shall have no further rights to invoke the
provisions of subparagraphs (B), (D) or (E) of this Article, unless a closing of
the sale has not occurred by reason of the default of the Recipient.
(3) Each Recipient shall have a period of thirty (30) days within
which to serve an Interest Notice of Election (copies of which shall be sent to
all Partners) designating whether he elects to accept the option to purchase the
interest of the Offering Partner upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Interest Option Notice. If the offer described in subparagraph (C)(2) is
accepted, a closing shall occur at 10:00 A.M., at the office of the Partnership,
on the date set forth in the Interest Notice of Election (which date shall be no
earlier than the 30th day or later than the 60th day after the mailing of the

Offering Partner shall sell, assign and convey to the purchaser the entire
interest of said Partner in the Partnership and the purchaser shall purchase
such interest at the Interest Option Price and otherwise on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Interest Option Notice. If more than one Recipient
sends an Interest Notice of Election, the interest being sold shall be sold to
all Recipients PRO RATA in accordance with their respective Capital Percentages
and
38
the closing date shall be on the 60th day after the mailing of the Interest
Notice of Election.
(4) If no timely Interest Notice of Election is sent, the Offering
Partner may sell, assign and convey to any person, firm or corporation all of
his partnership interest at the price and upon the terms and conditions in said
Interest Option Notice and otherwise in compliance with the provisions of
subparagraph (B)(1) of this Article, provided however, that if the Offering
Partner has not so conveyed the interest described in the Interest Option Notice
upon the terms and conditions set forth therein within sixty (60) days of the
sending of the Interest Option Notice, the Offering Partner must, prior to any
sale of all or any part of his partnership interest, again comply with the
provisions of subparagraph (C) of this Article 11.
(D) (1) If, at any time, a member of the Xxxxxxxx Group has failed to
obtain the consent of the Investor Group to sell, assign or transfer his
interest, as required under subparagraph (C) of this Article, and within 120
days of such failure so to consent, any member of the Xxxxxxxx Group receives a
bona fide written offer to purchase all of the assets of the Partnership, which
offer is acceptable to the members of the Xxxxxxxx Group holding 67 in Capital
Percentage of that Group, he shall give notice ("Option Notice") to the Investor
Group stating that he has received (a) a bona fide written offer to purchase all
of the assets of the Partnership, setting forth the price offered ("Offered
Price"), (b) a certified check for ten (10%) percent of the Offered Price, (c) a
statement from the
39
prospective purchaser setting forth the brokers, if any, with whom he dealt in
connection with the proposed sale and the amount of commissions that may be due
the brokers, (d) an agreement by any such brokers that it or they will be
entitled to commissions from the Partnership only if, as and when title closes,
and (e) an executed contract for the purchase of all of the assets of the
Partnership conditioned upon the acceptance of the offer within thirty (30) days
by the Partnership. The Option Notice shall include true copies of the
instruments described in subdivisions (a) to (e) inclusive.
(2) The Option Notice shall be deemed to be an offer on behalf of
the Xxxxxxxx Group to the Investor Group to elect by notice in writing ("Notice
of Election") either that (a) the Partnership, or (b) the Investor Group shall
purchase the entire interest of the Xxxxxxxx Group at a price ("Option Price")
equal to the net sum the Xxxxxxxx Group would receive (and be payable upon the
same terms and conditions) if the Partnership accepted the offer, closed the
sale on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Option Notice and
thereupon liquidated the Partnership. Upon the sending of an Option Notice, the
Xxxxxxxx Group shall have no further rights to invoke the provisions of
subparagraphs (B), (C) or (E) of this Article unless a closing of the sale of
all the assets of the Partnership has not occurred by reason of the default of
any member of the Investor Group or of the Partnership.
(3) The Investor Group shall have a period of twenty (20) days
within which to serve a Notice of Election designating which option, if any, it
elects to accept. If
40
the option described is accepted, a closing shall occur at 10:00 A.M., at the
office of the Partnership, on the date set forth in the Notice of Election
(which date shall be no later than the 190th day after the mailing of the Notice
of Election) at which time the Xxxxxxxx Group shall sell, assign and convey to
the Partnership or to the Investor Group, as the case may be, the entire
interest of said Group in the Partnership which shall purchase such interest at
a price equal to the Option Price, subject to the liabilities of the
Partnership, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Option Notice.
(4) If a timely Notice of Election is not sent, the bona fide
written offer shall be deemed to have been accepted and the Partnership shall
sell, assign and convey all of the assets thereof to the person named in the
Option Notice at the price and upon the terms and conditions contained in said
Option Notice.
(5) The members of each Group shall, from time to time, execute,
acknowledge and deliver, at the reasonable request of the General Partner who is
a member of the other Group, all affidavits, letters of direction, consents or
approvals, that may be necessary to effectuate the purposes of subparagraphs
(D)(3) and (D)(4) of this Article.
(6) During the period between the sending of an Option Notice and
the Closing of the sale to the Investor Group or the Partnership:
(a) Any General Partner who is a member of the Xxxxxxxx Group
and each member thereof shall not unreasonably withhold or delay
41
its or their consent to the taking of any action desired by the
Investor Group or by the General Partner which is a member of the
Investor Group.
(b) No member of the Xxxxxxxx Group shall be required or
requested to make Supplemental Capital Contributions or loans to the
Partnership.
(c) The General Partner which is a member of the Xxxxxxxx
Group shall not be entitled to any compensation or income arising
from any services performed for the benefit of the Partnership.
(d) Except as set forth above, all of the terms and conditions
of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
For the purposes of the provisions of subparagraph (D) of this
Article 11, each member of each Group shall be bound by the decision of the
holders of 67 in Capital Percentage of that Group.
(E) In the event that, at any time after one year from the date hereof,
the holders of a majority in Capital Percentage of the Investor Group desire to
sell their entire interests in the Partnership, such holders may notify the
Xxxxxxxx Group of the purchase price and the terms upon which such holders (and
no other members of the Investor Group) will either (a) sell their entire
Partnership interests to the Xxxxxxxx Group or to the Partnership, or (b)
purchase, or cause the Partnership to purchase, from the Xxxxxxxx Group the
entire Partnership interests of the Xxxxxxxx Group. The Xxxxxxxx Group shall
42
have a period of forty-five (45) days within which to elect which option, if
any, it elects to accept. If the members of the Xxxxxxxx Group are not
unanimous, then the decision of a majority in Capital Percentage shall be
binding on all members, and if no notice is sent, the Xxxxxxxx Group shall be
deemed to have elected to purchase the Partnership interests of such members of
the Investor Group (without affecting the rights of the balance of the members
of the Investor Group). Upon acceptance of the option, a closing shall be held
at the time and in the manner set forth in subparagraph (D)(3) except that the
actual date of closing shall be determined by the purchaser, who may also elect
in such notice to cause the Partnership to redeem the interest of such holders.
(F) The Partners may, at any time, and from time to time, transfer their
partnership interests, in whole or in part, to the New Master Limited
Partnership as permitted under Article 9 ("Rights, Duties and Obligations").
(G) In the event that any Partner transfers his interest in the
Partnership (to the extent permitted by this Agreement) such member or his
transferee may require the Partnership to make the election permitted under
Section 754 of the Code or any comparable statutory provision then in effect, in
which event the Partnership shall duly make such election, unless the making of
such election shall, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, have a
material adverse tax or financial impact on any of the non-transferring
Partners.
43
12 DEATH, RETIREMENT, BANKRUPTCY,
ETC., OF A GENERAL PARTNER
In the event of the retirement, bankruptcy or, in the case of an
individual, adjudication of insanity or incompetency or death, of a General
Partner, the Partnership shall be dissolved and terminated unless the surviving
General Partner, or if there be none, the Limited Partners shall within one
hundred and twenty (120) days of such death, retirement, adjudication, removal
or bankruptcy by unanimous vote of the Limited Partners or their legal
representatives (A) elect to continue the Partnership and (B) designate one or
more successor General Partners.
If the Partnership continues, the Partnership interest of such
deceased, retired, incompetent, removed or bankrupt General Partner, if any,
shall become a Limited Partners' Interest of which a portion of its Capital
Percentage sufficient to vest in the new General Partner a Capital Percentage of
1 and shall be allocated to such surviving or successor General Partner with the
balance thereof allocated to such former General Partner.
The parties shall execute and deliver such documents as may be
necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
13 LIMITED PARTNERS

the Partnership's business. The foregoing shall not prevent a General Partner
who is also a Limited Partner from acting as a General Partner, or prevent the
Limited Partner from voting on the matters set forth in subparagraph (K)(3) of
Article 9 ("Rights, Duties and Obligations of Partners") or being employed in
the business of the Partnership. Except as otherwise provided in Article 8
("Additional Capital") the Limited Partners shall be liable for obligations of

Section 121-502 of the Revised New York Limited Partnership Act ["Liability for
Contributions] to contribute, with interest, capital returned to a Partner.

shall, upon executing, acknowledging and delivering to the Partnership an
agreement in writing, assuming and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement and
approving the power of attorney set forth in Article 18 ("Power of Attorney"),
be deemed to be an assignee of such deceased or insane Limited Partner and shall
have the same rights that such Limited Partner would have had if he had not died
or had not become insane, subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Agreement, as if such Limited Partner had not died or become insane.
14 TERMINATION
The Partnership shall terminate upon the happening of any of the
following events:
45
(A) Upon the sale or transfer of the last remaining property, real or
personal, held by the Partnership (except, in any such case, to an individual
nominee or corporate nominee) provided however, if in connection with such sale
a purchase money mortgage is received, such mortgage may be transferred to an
agent to be held, administered and enforced for the benefit of the Partners.
(B) The retirement or bankruptcy of any General Partner or the
adjudication of insanity or incompetency or death, of an individual General
Partner and the failure in any such instance of the surviving General Partner,
