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,

parties for this purpose. The purchase price shall be paid within ________

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.

accounting for the interest of a deceased Partner in the Partnership.
