ARTICLE III CAPITAL AND CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION 3.1. Initial Capital Contributions. From time to time, as required to fund the costs incurred in connection with the design, construction and start-up of a turnkey facility to be operated as the Venue, Universal shall be liable to make an initial capital contribution (the "Initial Capital Contribution"), of approximately $8,700,000. In the event it is determined during the build-out of the Venue that the amount of the Development Budget will likely be exceeded, General Partner and Universal agree to endeavor in good faith to "value engineer" the build-out of the Venue so as to restore compliance with the Development Budget. In the further event that such "value engineering" process does not achieve compliance with the Development Budget, the Development Budget shall be adjusted to reflect the increased costs, and Universal shall fund such increased costs as part of its Initial Capital Contribution. The Initial Capital Contribution pursuant to the Development Budget shall be comprised of payments made by Universal on behalf of the Partnership or deposited into the Partnership bank account. The parties expressly agree that the General Partner has not made, nor will the General Partner be required to make, contemporaneously with the execution hereof, or thereafter, any Initial Capital Contribution or Additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership. Instead, the General Partner's Participating Percentages as set forth in Article IV hereof reflect the issuance to the 7 General Partner of a "profits interest" for its agreement to perform future services for the Partnership including without limitation, the services described in Section 9.12 hereof. The Partners expressly agree that Universal's funding of its Initial Capital Contribution shall be made in accordance with the following procedure. Universal shall submit to the General Partner a proposal for the development of the Venue. Such proposal shall include a construction budget, detailed architectural plans and specifications, detailed design plans and specifications, a site development plan, proposed architectural, design and construction contracts, a working capital budget, pro forma operating statements and such other documents, statements and information as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner in connection with the development of the Venue. The General Partner shall have the right to approve or reject the proposal in its reasonable discretion. Upon their mutual approval of the proposal, the Partners shall execute an itemized statement, which statement shall provide a detailed breakdown of the total development costs, pre-opening costs, commissioning and working capital required for the development of the Venue from inception through the opening date of the Venue (such itemized statement, the "Development Budget"). Concurrently with the above, Universal shall submit to the General Partner an initial written business plan which shall set forth in reasonable detail the proposed operation of the Venue. The General Partner shall have the right to approve or reject such business plan in its reasonable discretion. Upon their mutual approval of the business plan, the Partnership shall adopt such business plan as the "Approved Business Plan". The General Partner shall keep originally-executed copies of the Development Budget and the Approved Business Plan with the books and records of the Partnership. As soon as practicable after the opening date of the Venue, but in no event later than 270 days after such opening date, Universal shall deliver to the General Partner an itemized statement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner, prepared in accordance with GAAP by independent certified public accountants for the Partnership and certified by Universal as to truth and accuracy to the best of Universal's knowledge and belief after good faith investigation, which statement shall reflect the aggregate actual development costs for the Venue (the "Actual Development Costs"). The General Partner shall have the right to independently audit the accuracy of Universal's statement of Actual Development Costs. Unless the Partners agree otherwise, any additional amounts that Universal may pay to fund the Actual Development Costs in excess of the Development Budget shall be treated as part of the Initial Capital Contribution. SECTION 3.2. Additional Capital Contributions. The Partners shall not be obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions (with respect to each Partner, an "Additional Capital Contribution") to the Partnership except for such Additional Capital Contributions in such amounts and under such terms, as may be unanimously approved by the Partners from time to time. Universal shall not make any Additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership without the General Partner's approval. The General Partner may, without the approval of Universal, make Additional Capital Contributions. 8 SECTION 3.3. Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (each a "Capital Account") shall be established, maintained, and adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations ss. 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv). Consistent therewith, each Partner's Capital Account will be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Articles V and VI hereof, the purpose of which Article VI is to set forth certain operating rules for the allocation of "book items" of income, gain, loss and deduction for Capital Account purposes. The provisions of Article VI shall be construed in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulations ss. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Capital Accounts shall not be adjusted for items as they are computed and allocated to the Partners for federal income tax purposes, but shall instead be adjusted for such items as computed for "book" purposes which will, however, be the same method of computation of such items as for federal income tax purposes, except as specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement or the applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code on the last day of the applicable accounting period for such adjustment. Upon the Transfer hereunder of all or part of a Partner's Partnership Interest, other than a transfer that terminates the Partnership within the meaning of Code Section 708(b)(1)(B), the Capital Account of the transferor Partner that is attributable to the transferred Partnership Interest will carry over to the transferee Partner. If Universal agrees in its sole and absolute discretion to such a purchase, then, in the event of any such purchase by the General Partner (or its assignee) of all or part of Universal's Partnership Interest, pursuant to Article VII, the Capital Account transferred to the transferee partner shall equal the purchase price for the Partnership Interest. In the event of a transfer of all or part of a Partner's Partnership Interest that causes a termination of the Partnership within the meaning of Code Section 708(b)(1)(B), the Partners' Capital Accounts will be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations ss. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(1). SECTION 3.4. Negative Capital Accounts. A Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership, or to any other Partner, or to any party for any negative balance in its Capital Account; provided, however, that the General Partner shall have the right exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion to amend this Partnership Agreement from time to time to reflect the imposition on the General Partner (but not on Universal) of a limited deficit Capital Account restoration obligation within the meaning of Treasury Regulation ss.1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c). SECTION 3.5. Loans From Partners. Except as may be specifically provided herein, no interest shall be paid or credited to the Partners or their Capital Accounts; provided, however, nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent or prohibit the payment of interest on account of loans made by the Partners to the Partnership. Any loans made to the Partnership by a Partner shall not increase such Partner's Capital Contribution or interest in Net Profits, Net Losses, and Distributable Cash of the Partnership but shall be a debt due from the Partnership and repaid accordingly. Except for the loans by Universal as the Manager provided for in the Management Agreement, neither Partner may obtain any loan for which the Partnership is liable without the approval of the other Partner, which approval may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of that Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, obtain a loan for which the Partnership is liable for the sole purpose described in Article VII of this Partnership Agreement 9 and/or Section 19.2B of the Lease. All loans permitted pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be deemed to be "Permitted Loans." ARTICLE IV PARTICIPATING PERCENTAGES The interests of each of the Partners in the Partnership (each Partner's interest, respectively, a "Participating Percentage") shall be determined in accordance with the following: SECTION 4.1. Universal 50%/General Partner 50%. During the period from the date hereof until such time as an event either occurs or does not occur as specified in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 of this Agreement occurs, Universal and the General Partner shall each have a Participating Percentage of 50%. SECTION 4.2. Universal 70%/General Partner 30%. If the Partnership does not redeem the Callable Interest during the Call Exercise Period in accordance with Section 7.5, then upon the expiration of the Call Exercise Period, Universal shall have a Participating Percentage of 70% and the General Partner shall have a Participating Percentage of 30%. SECTION 4.3. Universal 25%/General Partner 75%. If (i) the Partnership redeems the Callable Interest during the Call Exercise Period in accordance with Section 7.5, and (ii) Universal fails to have the Putable Interest redeemed as of the Closing Date in accordance with Section 7.4 then, immediately after the Closing Date, Universal shall have a Participating Percentage of 25% and the General Partner shall have a Participating Percentage of 75%. SECTION 4.4. Universal Less Than 25%/General Partner Greater Than 75%. If (i) the Partnership redeems the Callable Interest during the Call Exercise Period in accordance with Section 7.5, and (ii) Universal has a portion but not all of the Putable Interest redeemed by the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.4, then immediately after the Closing Date, Universal shall have a Participating Percentage equal to the difference between 25% and the Putable Interest so redeemed and the General Partner shall have a Participating Percentage equal to the sum of 75% and the Putable Interest so redeemed. SECTION 4.5. Put/Call Partnership Termination. If (i) the Partnership redeems the Callable Interest during the Call Exercise Period in accordance with Section 7.5, and (ii) Universal has the entire Putable Interest redeemed by the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.4, then immediately after the Closing Date, the General Partner shall have a Participating Percentage of 100%, and at the General Partner's option either (x) the Partnership shall terminate and its affairs wound up in accordance with Article XII hereof or (y) the Partnership shall admit a new Partner and continue its operations. SECTION 4.6. Purchase of Universal's Interest. If Universal, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to the purchase of any part of its Partnership Interest, a condition of such purchase shall be the mutual approval by the Partners of the method of such purchase. 10 ARTICLE V DISTRIBUTIONS SECTION 5.1. Distributions from Operations. Not less frequently than on a quarterly basis, the General Partner, after providing for the Partnership's debts, obligations, capital needs and reserves as required by the manager of the Venue, shall make distributions of all Distributable Cash to the Partners in accordance with each of their respective Participating Percentages. The Partners agree that payments to lenders which have made Permitted Loans, affiliated with the Partnership or otherwise, have a priority over distributions to the Partners. Solely with respect to the lender from which the General Partner obtains a Permitted Loan to fund a redemption or purchase under Article VII of this Partnership Agreement and/or Section 19.2.B of the Lease, payments to such lender shall be deemed to be (i) a part of Distributable Cash and (ii) a distribution to the General Partner for the purpose of calculating the amount of available Distributable Cash to be paid to the Partners. The payments, if any, to a lender of a Permitted Loan that are deemed to be received by General Partner for calculation of Distributable Cash shall be treated as a distribution to the General Partner. To the extent there is Distributable Cash available, then the Limited Partner shall receive a distribution which equals on a proportionate basis the deemed distribution received by the General Partner. To the extent there are not sufficient funds to make the distribution, then the Limited Partner shall receive a priority distribution as to the General Partner's distribution from the next distribution of Distributable Cash. SECTION 5.2. Amounts Required to be Withheld. The General Partner shall be authorized to withhold from amounts to be distributed under this Agreement any withholding required by the Code or any provision of any state or local tax law, and to pay such amounts over to the Internal Revenue Service or other appropriate taxing authority. All such amounts withheld shall be treated as amounts of Distributable Cash distributed to the Partners pursuant to this Agreement. SECTION 5.3. Distributions on Liquidation. Upon liquidation of the Partnership the distribution of all assets of the Partnership shall be made in accordance with Section 12.2 below. ARTICLE VI ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES SECTION 6.1. Allocations. (a) General Tax Allocations. As of the end of each fiscal year, and after giving effect to the special tax allocations set forth in Section 6.1(b), Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated among the Partners for Capital Account purposes as well as federal income tax purposes as follows: (i) Net Profits shall first be allocated to the Partners in the same amount as Net Losses were allocated to such Persons pursuant to Section 11 6.1(a)(ii) hereof until the cumulative Net Profits allocated pursuant to this Section 6.l(a)(i) are equal to the total get Losses allocated to such Persons for all prior periods and, thereafter, Net Profits shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their Participating Percentages with respect to such fiscal year; and (ii) Net Losses shall first be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their Participating Percentages; provided, however, that any losses in excess of the losses allowable to General Partner pursuant to the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b) shall be allocated to Universal; provided, however, the General Partner shall have the right exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion to amend this Partnership Agreement from time to time to reflect the imposition on the General Partner (but not on Universal) of a limited deficit Capital Account restoration obligation within the meaning of Treasury Regulation ss.1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c). (b) Special Allocations. At the end of each fiscal year of the Partnership and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, the following special allocations shall be made for both Capital Account purposes and for federal income tax purposes unless otherwise provided: (i) In accordance with the ordering rules of Treasury Regulation ss. 1.704-2(j), items of gross income and realized gain first shall be allocated in an amount and in a manner that complies with the "chargeback" requirement of Treasury Regulation ss.1.704-2(i)(4), the "qualified income offset" requirement of Treasury Regulation ss. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), and the "minimum gain chargeback" requirement of Treasury Regulation ss. 1.704-2(f). Further, any "partner nonrecourse deductions" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation ss.1.704-2(i)(2) attributable to "partner nonrecourse debt" shall be allocated to the Partner who bears the "economic risk of loss" for such debt in accordance with Treasury Regulation ss.1.704-2(i). (ii) If a taxing authority ignores the characterization of any amounts paid to a Partner (or an Affiliate thereof) as salaries, fees, expense reimbursements, commissions or other compensation for services ("Compensation"), and refuses to treat such payments as either guaranteed payments within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) or payments made to such Partner other than in such Partner's capacity as a Partner within the meaning of Code Section 707(a), and such taxing authority ultimately treats such amounts paid to a Partner (or an Affiliate thereto) as a distribution to such Partner for federal income tax purposes which reduces such Partner's Capital Account, then the Compensation shall be treated as an allocation of an item of income or gain of the Partnership to the recipient Partner so that, consistent with the intent of the Partners, the Compensation shall not be treated as a distribution which reduces 12 the recipient Partner's Capital Account. Accordingly, such Partner shall be allocated the first available items of Partnership income and gain (including in a succeeding year) in an amount equal to the Compensation. (iii) If the Partnership owns (a) any property contributed by a Partner that had a fair market value different from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes on the date of the contribution, or (b) any property that has been revalued pursuant to Treasury Regulation ss. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), then for federal income tax purposes only and not for Capital Account purposes, any income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to such property shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, using the "traditional method." SECTION 6.2. Tax Items. Except as otherwise provided herein, any allocation to a Partner of a portion of the Net Profits or Net Losses for a fiscal year (or other relevant period) will be deemed to be an allocation to that Partner of the same proportionate part of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit that is earned, realized or available by or to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. SECTION 6.3. Partial Year Allocations. In the event that a Partner is admitted to the Partnership during the Partnership's fiscal year, or all or a portion of a Partner's Partnership Interest is transferred during the Partnership's fiscal year, Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated to the admitted or transferee Partner in any manner permitted by Code Section 706 or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, as the General Partner shall determine as a Tax Decision. SECTION 6.4. Allocations and Distributions. When the Partnership is dissolved and wound up pursuant to Article XII hereof or there is a "liquidation" of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulation ss. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), all items of income, gain, loss and deduction not previously allocated shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant to this Article VI. It is the intent of the parties hereto that after the allocations described in the previous sentence are made and the final cash distribution referred to in Section 12.2 is made, that such actions will result in the Capital Account balances of the Partners equaling zero following the dissolution of the Partnership. The allocation and distribution provisions of Articles V and VI hereof, respectively, of this Agreement, as well as the provisions of Article XII hereof, shall be construed in such a way to achieve this result and specifically provided that on liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 12.2, any decrease to the General Partner's Capital Account incurred in any year of the Partnership as a result of allocations of Net Losses, depreciation or loss items shall be offset with allocations of Net Profits or items of income or gain to increase the General Partner's Capital Account by an equal amount. Provided, however, that any allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.4 must have the consent of Universal. 13 ARTICLE VII CALLABLE INTEREST AND PUTABLE INTEREST SECTION 7.1. Callable Interest. At any time during the Call Exercise Period, the Partnership shall have the right to redeem a portion of Universal's Partnership Interest such that, immediately after such redemption, Universal's Participating Percentage shall be equal to 25%. The portion of Universal's Partnership Interest that the Partnership may so redeem shall be referred to as the "Callable Interest." SECTION 7.2. Call Notice. The Partnership may elect to redeem the Callable Interest by giving Universal written notice (the "Call Notice") during the Call Notice Period. SECTION 7.3. Call Purchase Price. The purchase price (the "Call Purchase Price") for the Callable Interest shall be equal to the product of (A) .75 and (B) the sum of (i) the Initial Capital Contribution of Universal, (ii) any Additional Capital Contribution of Universal made prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), and (iii) a rate of return on (i) and (ii) equal to 15% per annum, compounded annually, from the date of Universal's initial investment in (i) and (ii) (subparagraphs (B)(i) and (ii) collectively being the "Investment"). If the Callable Interest is not redeemed within the Call Exercise Period, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall have any obligation to pay the Call Purchase Price or any component thereof. SECTION 7.4. Putable Interest; Put Notice; Put Purchase Price. If the Partnership elects to redeem the Callable Interest, Universal, at its option, may require the Partnership to redeem any amount up to all of Universal's remaining Partnership Interest (the "Putable Interest") by delivering written notice (the "Put Notice") to the Partnership within thirty (30) days of Universal's receipt of the Call Notice (the "Put Notice Period"). The purchase price for such Putable Interest shall be equal to the product of (i) the Participating Percentage representing the Putable Interest that Universal shall have elected to redeem and (ii) the sum of (A) the Investment and (B) a rate of return on the Investment equal to 15% per annum, compounded annually, from the date of Universal's initial investment in the Investment (the "Put Purchase Price"). The Closing of the Putable Interest shall occur in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5. SECTION 7.5. Call/Put Closing. The closing of the redemption of the Callable Interest and, if applicable, the Putable Interest (the "Closing") shall take place at a location designated by Universal, on a date (the "Closing Date") which is no earlier than the expiration of the Put Notice Period and no later than either of the following: (1) if a Put Notice is delivered, the thirty-first (31st) day following the General Partner's receipt of the Put Notice; or (ii) if a Put Notice is not delivered, the sixty-first (61st) day following Universal's receipt of the Call Notice. If a Put Notice is delivered, then at the Closing, the General Partner shall in the case of a Section 736 redemption, at its sole election either (A) make an Additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership in immediately available funds, the amount of which shall equal the Call Purchase Price and the Put Purchase Price or (B) cause the Partnership to borrow an amount of 14 money sufficient to satisfy the Partnership's obligations under this Article VII on such terms and conditions as the General Partner in its sole discretion shall determine, equal to the sum of the Call Purchase Price and the Put Purchase Price, as applicable. If a Put Notice is not delivered, then at the Closing the General Partner shall make an Additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership in immediately available funds, the amount of which shall equal the Call Purchase Price. Simultaneously with such funding of an Additional Capital Contribution, the Partnership or the General Partner (or its assignee) as the case may be, shall tender the Call Purchase Price, and if applicable, the Put Purchase Price, to Universal in immediately available funds, and in exchange, Universal shall comply with Section 7.6 hereof. In the case of a Section 736 liquidation of the Limited Partner's Partnership Interest, as a condition to receipt by the Limited Partner of the Call Purchase Price and, if applicable, the Put Purchase Price, in the case of the liquidation of Universal's Partnership Interest, the General Partner and the Limited Partner expressly agree that such transaction shall be treated as a complete liquidation of the Limited Partner's Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 736 of the Code. The Limited Partner expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Call Purchase Price and, if applicable, the Put Purchase Price, in cash distributed to the Limited Partner shall be treated as a payment in liquidation under Section 736(b) of the Code to the extent of the fair market value of the Limited Partner's "interest in Partnership property" within the meaning of Section 736 of the Code and the excess, if any, shall be treated as a Section 707(c) "guaranteed payment" under Section 736(a) of the Code. The General Partner and the Limited Partner acknowledge and agree that the redemption price at which the Partnership can acquire the Limited Partner's Partnership Interest as a Limited Partner (and which will not be equal to its Capital Account balance) has been agreed upon based on arm's length negotiations as described in the second paragraph of Treasury Regulation ss. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3). Further, as a further condition to the receipt by the Limited Partner of the Call Purchase Price and Put Purchase Price, the General Partner agrees to execute a written agreement with respect to the redemption which shall include a written undertaking by the Limited Partner to deliver such other instruments, agreements or other documents as the Partnership may reasonably deem necessary to evidence the liquidation of the Limited Partner's Partnership Interest. Finally, the Limited Partner also agrees and acknowledges that under this liquidation of Partnership Interest option, simultaneously with the Closing, there may be admitted as Partners one or more Persons as the General Partner shall approve, with the terms and conditions of such Partnership Interests as the General Partner and such one or more Persons shall mutually agree upon. The Limited Partner hereby consents to the amendment of this Partnership Agreement, including Schedule A, and the related documents, if necessary, under the Act, to reflect the liquidation of its Partnership Interest and, if applicable, the admission of additional Partners. SECTION 7.6. Transfer of Interest in Partnership. As a condition to receipt by Universal of the Call Purchase Price and, as applicable, the Put Purchase Price, Universal and the Partnership shall execute an assignment agreement with respect to the Transfer which shall include a written undertaking by Universal to deliver such other instruments, agreements or other documents as the Partnership may reasonably deem necessary to evidence such Transfer. 15 SECTION 7.7. Repayment of Loans. Upon the Closing Date, if any, any loans made by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Management Agreement and any other loans made by Universal to the Partnership shall be immediately due and payable. Universal expressly agrees that the General Partner may cause the Partnership to borrow any or all funds necessary to (A) repay any loans made by either the Manager or Universal to the Partnership that became due and payable as a result of the acquisition of the Callable Interest or the Putable Interest and (B) satisfy the Partnership's obligations under this Article VII based on the elections exercised by the General Partner pursuant to this Article VII. ARTICLE VIII STATUS OF LIMITED PARTNER SECTION 8.1. Partnership Management. The Limited Partner (as such) shall not participate in the management or control of the Partnership's business (within the meaning of the Act), nor shall it have the power to act for or bind the Partnership, said powers being vested solely and exclusively in the General Partner. SECTION 8.2. Interest in the General Partner's Assets. The Limited Partner shall have no interest in the properties or assets of the General Partner or in any proceeds of any activities or sales thereof (which sales shall not be restricted in any respect, except as set forth herein) by virtue of acquiring or owning interests in the Partnership or otherwise. SECTION 8.3. Limited Liability. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Limited Partner, in its capacity as a limited partner of the Partnership, shall not have any personal liability whether to the Partnership, to any of the Partners, or to the creditors of the Partnership, for the debts of the Partnership or any of the Partnership's losses beyond the Initial Capital Contribution set forth opposite his, her or its name in Schedule A plus the Additional Capital Contributions. SECTION 8.4. No Right of Partition. The Limited Partner shall not have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any Partnership property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Partnership. SECTION 8.5. Withdrawal; No Dissolution. The Limited Partner shall not have any right to withdraw from the Partnership without the prior written consent of the General Partner, nor shall the Limited Partner have any right to Transfer any or all of its Partnership Interest to a third party other than to an Affiliate that has agreed to accept the terms of this Partnership Agreement pursuant to Section 10.3. The withdrawal of the Limited Partner, or the Transfer of all of its Partnership Interest to an Affiliate, shall not cause a dissolution of the Partnership, but the rights of such Limited Partner to share in the profits and losses of the Partnership, to receive distributions of Partnership funds and to Transfer its Partnership Interest pursuant to Article X hereof shall, on the happening of such an event, devolve on such Limited Partner's successor-in-interest subject to the terms and conditions of this Partnership Agreement, and the 16 Partnership shall continue as a limited partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transferor of such Partnership Interest shall not be released from liability to the Partnership for any materially false statement made, or caused to be made, by such transferor in the Certificate of Limited Partnership. In no event shall such successor-in-interest become the substituted Limited Partner, except in accordance with Article X hereof. SECTION 8.6. GAAP Reports to the Limited Partner. The General Partner will furnish the Limited Partner with audited annual financial statements of the Partnership prepared by the independent certified public accountants for the Partnership. ARTICLE IX POWER, RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE GENERAL PARTNER SECTION 9.1. Powers of General Partner. Except as set forth in this Article IX and as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the General Partner shall have exclusive authority to manage the business and affairs of the Partnership and to make all decisions regarding the management and operation of the Partnership and its business and affairs.

SECTION 9.2. Limitations on General Partner. Without the prior written consent of Universal as a Limited Partner, the General Partner shall not have the power to: (a) perform or refrain from performing any act (i) which does not preserve the economic benefit to Universal of the distribution of Distributable Cash as contemplated in Article V hereof; or (ii) which increases any liabilities of Universal as Limited Partner to the Partnership or the General Partner in a manner not contemplated in this Agreement as of the date hereof; (b) change the purposes of the Partnership as set forth in Section 1.3; (c) unless the Call Purchase Price has been paid, amend the Approved Business Plan; (d) unless the Call Purchase Price has been paid, cause the Partnership to incur any expenses other than expenses incurred by the Manager on behalf of the Partnership or reasonable expenses incurred in connection with (i) ministerial filings required to maintain limited partnership status, (ii) the preparation and filing of Partnership income tax returns, (iii) income tax audits, (iv) all payments required of Licensee under the License Agreement and (v) the approved Development Budget as contemplated in the Management Agreement; (e) unless the Call Purchase Price has been paid, amend Sections 3.1, 3.2, 6.1, 6.4, 8.3, 9.1(e), 9.2, 9.4, 9.6, 9.11, 9.12, 10.1, 12.2, 14.10 or 14.12 or Articles IV, V or VII; (f) unless the Call Purchase Price has been paid (and for a period of 366 days following payment of such Call Purchase Price), cause a petition under any Chapter of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar law or regulation to be filed by or against the Partnership; cause a custodian, receiver or trustee to be appointed for the 19 Partnership; or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors with respect to the Partnership; or (g) issue additional interests in the Partnership or admit additional Partners in a manner which would dilute the interest of Universal. SECTION 9.3. Additional Limitations on General Partner. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Buffett is named, or threatened to be named, as an individual defendant in any administrative, civil, criminal, governmental or arbitrable action (each such action, a "Proceeding"), no such pending or threatened Proceeding shall be settled, adjusted or otherwise compromised without the consent of Buffett in his sole discretion. So long as the Limited Partner is the Manager, the foregoing limitation on settlements shall be included in any insurance coverages purchased on behalf of the Partnership. SECTION 9.4. Tax Matters. (a) The General Partner shall retain independent certified public accountants to prepare and timely file the Partnership's income tax return. Universal shall have the right to review and provide comments to the Partnership's federal and state income tax returns for any Fiscal year (or portion thereof) prior to the filing of such income tax returns by the Partnership. The Partnership's accountants shall deliver a draft copy of the Partnership's federal and state income tax returns to Universal for its review at least thirty (30) days prior to the date that the Partnership is required to file such tax returns. (b) The General Partner will use its reasonable best efforts to furnish Universal with the information as to its distributive share of the Partnership's Net Profits, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, and deduction, as well as all other tax information, which will be sufficient for Universal to prepare its own federal and state income tax returns, not later than ninety (90) days following the close of each fiscal year (or portion thereof). (c) The General Partner shall have the right to make tax elections under the Code (or state and local tax law) on behalf of the Partnership except any decision which would result in an allocation of items of income or loss other than in accordance with the Partners' Participating Percentages can be made only with Universal's consent. (d) The General Partner as the Initial General Partner of the Partnership, is hereby designated as the "tax matters partner" of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes (and shall hold such position for only so long as the Initial General Partner is a "general partner" of the Partnership under the Act). As such, the tax matters partner is authorized, but not required, to take any action (including the incurring of expenses with respect to such matters) on behalf of the Partnership or its Partners in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceedings to the extent permitted by the Code in the General Partner's sole discretion, provided, however, that actions to be taken by the 20 General Partner as the tax matters partner which may affect any allocation of taxable income or loss to Universal or which may have a tax impact of greater than $5,000 on Universal shall only be made with the written consent of Universal as a Partner. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such services is reasonable. SECTION 9.5. Indemnification. After the Closing, if any, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall not have any liability, responsibility or accountability in damages or otherwise to any other Partner or the Partnership or any third party for, and the Partnership agrees to indemnify, pay, protect or hold harmless the General Partner and/or its Affiliates (on demand of and to the satisfaction of the General Partner) from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs and expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of defense, appeal and settlement of any and all suits, actions or proceedings instituted against the General Partner and/or its Affiliates and/or the Partnership and all costs of investigation in connection therewith) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted or threatened against the General Partner and/or its Affiliates and/or the Partnership by any Partner, the Partnership or third party in any way relating to or arising out of, or alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the Partnership or on the part of the General Partner and/or its Affiliates in connection with any Partnership purpose; provided, that the General Partner and/or its Affiliates shall be liable, responsible and accountable, and the Partnership shall not be liable to the General Partner and/or its Affiliates, for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, disbursements which results from the General Partner's and/or its Affiliates own fraud, gross negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty to the Partnership or any Partner. If any action, suit or proceeding shall be pending or threatened against the Partnership or the General Partner and/or its Affiliates relating to or arising out of, or alleged to relate to or arise out of, any such action or inaction, the General Partner and/or its Affiliates shall have the right to employ, at the expense of the Partnership, separate counsel of the General Partner's and/or its Affiliates' choice in such action, suit or proceeding. The satisfaction of the obligations of the Partnership under this Section 9.5 shall be from and limited to the assets of the Partnership and no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability on account thereof. The General Partner and/or its Affiliates shall have the right to xxxx the Partnership for, or otherwise request the Partnership to pay, at any time and from time to time after the General Partner and/or its Affiliates shall have become obligated to make payment therefor, any and all amounts for which the General Partner and/or its Affiliates believes in good faith that the General Partner and/or its Affiliates is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.5. The Partnership shall pay any and all such bills and honor any and all such requests for payment within sixty (60) days after such xxxx or request is received by the General Partner and/or its Affiliates. In the event that a final determination is made that the Partnership is not so obligated in respect of any amount paid by it to the General Partner and or its Affiliates, the General Partner and/or its Affiliates will refund such amount within sixty (60) 21 days of such final determination. The rights under this Section 9.5 shall apply to actions or inactions which arise subsequent to the Closing. SECTION 9.6. Other Business Interests. (a) Each of Universal, the General Partner, their respective Affiliates and each of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, controlling persons, partners and employees may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any rights by virtue of this Partnership Agreement or the partnership relationship created hereby in any such business interests or activities of any such Person. The General Partner shall devote to the management of the Partnership only such time as it determines is necessary or appropriate to cause the affairs of the Partnership to be conducted in an efficient and businesslike manner. (b) Subject to Section 9.6(d), neither the General Partner, the Limited Partner, nor any of their respective affiliates shall be obligated to present any particular investment or business opportunity to the Partnership even if the opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership, could be undertaken by the Partnership (unless such party is subject to a separate non-competition agreement or similar arrangement). The General Partner, the Limited Partner and any of their respective affiliates shall each have the right to undertake any such opportunity for itself for its own account or on behalf of another or to recommend any such opportunity to other persons or entities. (c) Except as limited by Section 9.6(d) below, Universal (after consultation with counsel) hereby waives to the maximum extent permitted under the Act and any other applicable law any and all rights it might otherwise have to do any of the following: (i) to object to the involvement of the General Partner, directly or indirectly through any other Person, in any form of business undertaking which may be deemed competitive with the business of the Venue; and (ii) to object to the specifically enumerated matters set forth below including, without limitation, the Future Transaction. Universal expressly acknowledges an awareness of, and agrees to cooperate with the General Partner to facilitate the consummation of the General Partner's plans to engage in a roll-out business combination, sale of assets, sale of interests or otherwise engage in an initial public offering relating to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx'x Margaritaville restaurants (collectively, the "Future Transaction"). In this regard, Universal expressly agrees that it shall not take any action to prevent, delay or frustrate the General Partner's proposed plans to effectuate the Future Transaction. If the General Partner proposes to Transfer all or a portion of its Partnership interest to a proposed third party transferee in an arms-length transaction, neither Universal nor any other Partner shall have any right to require the General Partner to cause (a "Bring Along Right") such proposed transferee to also purchase all or a portion of such remaining Partner's Partnership Interest, at the same 22 time and on the same terms, consideration (on a Participating Percentage basis) and conditions at which the General Partner is selling its Partnership Interest. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner hereby agrees that neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall, during the Term of the Lease, develop a Xxxxx Xxxxxxx'x Margaritaville's restaurant, or a restaurant, nightclub or other venue primarily for food or beverage ("Restaurant") (i) within a 150 mile radius of the Venue or (ii) in any gated-attraction theme park (or entertainment complex attached to a theme park) in the State of Florida that has an annual attendance of at least 500,000 customers.
