23.3. In the event that a Partner's interest in the Partnership is to be sold, the remaining Partners have a right of first purchase on that interest. If any of the remaining Partners elect to purchase the interest of the Dissociated Partner, those Partners will serve written notice of such election upon the Dissociated Partner within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Dissociated Partner's notice of intention to withdraw, including the purchase price and method and schedule of payment for the Dissociated Partner's interest. The purchase amount of any buyout of the Dissociated Partner's interest will be determined as outlined in the Valuation of Interest section of this Agreement.

23.4. A Dissociated Partner will only exercise the right to withdraw in good faith and will act to minimize any present or future harm done to the remaining Partners as a result of the withdrawal.


24. Involuntary Withdrawal of a Partner

24.1. Events resulting in the involuntary withdrawal of a Partner from the Partnership will include but not be limited to: death of a Partner; Partner mental incapacity; Partner disability preventing reasonable participation in the Partnership; Partner incompetence; breach of fiduciary duties by a Partner; criminal conviction of a Partner; Expulsion of a Partner; Operation of Law against a Partner; or any act or omission of a Partner that can be reasonably expected to bring the business or societal reputation of the Partnership into disrepute.

24.2. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the involuntary withdrawal of a Partner will have no effect upon the continuance of the Partnership business.

24.3. In the event that a Partner's interest in the Partnership is to be sold, the remaining Partners have a right of first purchase on that interest. If any of the remaining Partners elect to purchase the interest of the Dissociated Partner, those Partners will serve written notice of such election, including the purchase price and method and schedule of payment upon the Dissociated Partner, their executor, administrator, trustee, committee or analogous fiduciary within a reasonable period after acquiring knowledge of the change in circumstances to the Dissociated Partner. The purchase amount of any buyout of a Partner's interest will be determined as outlined in the Valuation of Interest section of this Agreement.

24.4. A trustee in bankruptcy or similar third party who may acquire that Dissociated Partner's interest in the Partnership will only acquire that Partner's economic rights and interests and will not acquire any other rights of that Partner or be admitted as a Partner of the Partnership or have the right to exercise any management or voting interests.


25. Dissociation of a Partner

25.1. Where the remaining Partners have purchased the interest of a Dissociated Partner, the purchase amount will be paid in full, but without interest, within 90 days of the date of withdrawal.

25.2. The Partnership will retain exclusive rights to use the trade name and firm name and all related brand and model names of the Partnership.

25.3. Where the voluntary or involuntary withdrawal of a Partner results in only one Partner remaining or where no buyer is found to purchase the interest of the Dissociated Partner then the Partnership will proceed in a reasonable and timely manner to dissolve the Partnership, with all debts being paid first, prior to any distribution of the remaining funds. Valuation and distribution will be determined as described in the Valuation of Interest section of this Agreement.

25.4. On any purchase and sale of a Partnership interest, a Dissociated Partner will only have liability for Partnership obligations that were incurred during their time as a Partner. Immediately upon the sale of a withdrawing Partner's interest, the Partnership will prepare, file, serve, and publish all notices required by law to protect the withdrawing Partner from liability for further Partnership obligations.

25.5. The remaining Partners retain the right to seek damages from a Dissociated Partner where the dissociation resulted from a malicious or criminal act by the Dissociated Partner or where the Dissociated Partner had breached their fiduciary duty to the Partnership or was in breach of this Agreement or had acted in a way that could reasonably be foreseen bringing harm or damage to the Partnership or the reputation of the Partnership.


26. Dissolution

26.1. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Partnership may be dissolved only with a majority vote of all the Partners.

26.2. In the event of the dissolution of the Partnership, each Partner will share in any remaining assets or liabilities of the Partnership equally (the "Dissolution Distribution").

26.3. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership and liquidation of Partnership property, and after payment of all selling costs and expenses, the liquidator will distribute the Partnership assets in the following order of priority:

I. in satisfaction of liabilities to creditors (except Partnership obligations to current Partners);

II. in satisfaction of Partnership debt obligations to current Partners; and

III. to the Partners according to the Dissolution Distribution described above.

26.4. The claims of each priority group will be satisfied in full before satisfying any claims of a lower priority group. Any excess of Partnership assets after liabilities or any insufficiency in Partnership assets in resolving liabilities under this section will be shared by the Partners according to the Dissolution Distribution described above.


27. Valuation of Interest

27.1. In the absence of a written agreement setting a value, the value of the Partnership will be based on the fair market value appraisal of all Partnership assets (less liabilities) determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This appraisal will be conducted by an independent accounting firm agreed to by all Partners. An appraiser will be appointed within a reasonable period of the date of withdrawal or dissolution. The results of the appraisal will be binding on all Partners. A withdrawing Partner's interest will be based on that Partner's proportion of the Dissolution Distribution described above, less any outstanding liabilities the withdrawing Partner may have to the Partnership. The intent of this section is to ensure the survival of the Partnership despite the withdrawal of any individual Partner.

27.2. No allowance will be made for goodwill, trade name, patents or other intangible assets, except where those assets have been reflected on the Partnership books immediately prior to the valuation.


28. Goodwill

The goodwill of the Partnership will be assessed at an amount to be determined by appraisal using generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Title to all Partnership property will remain in the name of the Partnership. No Partner or group of Partners will have any ownership interest in such Partnership property in whole or in part.


30. Force Majeure

A Partner will be free of liability to the Partnership where the Partner is prevented from executing their obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part due to force majeure, such as earthquake, typhoon, flood, fire, and war or any other unforeseen and uncontrollable event where the Partner has communicated the circumstance of said events to any and all other Partners and taken any and all appropriate actions to mitigate said event.


31. Duty of Loyalty

No Partner will engage in any business, venture, or transaction, whether directly or indirectly, that might be competitive with the business of the Partnership or that would be in direct conflict of interest to the Partnership without the unanimous written consent of the remaining Partners. Any and all business, ventures, or transactions with any appearance of conflict of interest must be fully disclosed to all other Partners. Failure to comply with any of the terms of this clause will be deemed an Involuntary Withdrawal of the offending Partner and may be treated accordingly by the remaining Partners.


32. Duty of Accountability for Private Profits

Each Partner must account to the Partnership for any benefit derived from that Partner without the consent of the other Partners from any transaction concerning the Partnership or any use by that Partner of the Partnership property, name, or business connection. This duty continues to apply to any transactions undertaken after the Partnership has been dissolved but before the affairs of the Partnership have been completely wound up by the surviving Partner or Partners or their Agent or Agents.


33. Duty to Devote Time

Each Partner will devote such time, and attention to the business of the Partnership as the majority of the Partners will from time to time reasonably determine for the conduct of the Partnership business.


34. Forbidden Acts

36. Liability

A Partner will not be liable to the Partnership, or to any other Partner, for any mistake or error in judgment or for any act or omission done in good faith and believed to be within the scope of authority conferred or implied by this Agreement or the Partnership.
