18. Purchasing Partnership Interest
a. If the remaining Partners elect to purchase the interest of a retiring or
deceased Partner, they shall notify in writing of such election within
_______ months after the death or retirement of the Partner upon the
Partner or upon the Representative of the deceased Partner's estate. The
purchase price shall be equal to the retiring or deceased Partner's capital
account as of the end of the month next preceding the date of his death or
retirement plus the Partner's income account as of such date, adjusted for
the Partner's share of profits not previously distributed or losses not
previously charged to either of said accounts through the end of the month
preceding retirement or death. The capital account of the deceased
Partner shall be adjusted to reflect the fair market value of any Partnership
property and improvements located thereon and fixtures affixed thereto,
such value to be determined by an independent appraiser selected by the
parties for this purpose. The purchase price shall be paid within ________
year(s) of the death or retirement of the Partner. The Partners intend that
the payments for the deceased or retiring Partner's capital account shall be

Code, and that payments for undistributed profits shall be a distributive
share of the Partnership income under Section 736(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code.
b. If the remaining Partners do not elect to purchase the interest of the
deceased or retiring Partner, they shall proceed with reasonable
promptness to liquidate the Partnership. During the period of liquidation, the
remaining Partners and the retiring Partner or the estate of the deceased
Partner shall share in the profits and losses of the business in the same
manner that they would have shared in them had the deceased or retiring
Partner remained to the end of the fiscal year, except that the deceased
Partner's estate or retiring Partner shall not be liable for losses in excess of
the deceased Partner's interest or retiring Partner’s interest in the
Partnership assets as of the time of his death or retirement. Except as
herein otherwise stated, the procedure as to liquidation and distribution of
the assets of the Partnership business shall be the same as stated in
Paragraph 13.
The parties agree that the provisions contained herein with respect to the
discharge of a deceased Partner's interest in the Partnership are in lieu of the
provisions of the Idaho State Statutes and shall exclusively govern the disposition
of and accounting for the interest of a deceased Partner in the Partnership.
