In the event a Joint Venturer receives a bona fide offer for the purchase of all or a part of the Joint Venturei s interest in the Joint Venture and in the property of the Joint Venture, said Joint Venturer shall either refuse such offer or give the other Joint Venturer written notice setting out the full details of such offer, which notice, among other things, shall specify the name of the offeror, the percentage of interest in the Joint Venture covered by the offer, the terms of payment, whether for cash or credit, and if on credit, the time and interest rate, as well as any and all other consideration being received or paid in connection with such proposed transaction, as well as any and all other terms, conditions and details of such offer. Upon receipt of the notice with respect to such offer, the other Joint Venturer shall have the exclusive right and option, exercisable at any time during a period of forty-five (45) days from the date of said notice to purchase the interest in the Joint Venture covered by the offer in question (herein called "45 Day Period ") at the same price and on the same terms and conditions of the offer as set out in such notice.

Any proposed sale to a different person or upon changed terms and conditions or after the lapse of such thirty (30) day period, shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this agreement. 9.3 Death of a Joint Venturer. The death of any Joint Venturer shall not have the effect of terminating or dissolving this Joint Venture.

In the event that said Distributees, for any reason, fail to designate such Agent, in writing, in the manner and within the time prescribed and continue to fail to cure such default after ten (10) days written notice from the Joint Venture to correct same, such failure shall constitute a material default hereunder.

Any transferee or assignee to whom an interest in the Joint Venture or the Venture property may be transferred under the terms of this agreement who is not at the time of such transfer a party to this agreement shall take such interest subject to all of the terms and conditions of this agreement and shall not be considered to have title to such interest until said transferee or assignee shall have accepted and assumed the terms and conditions of this agreement by a written agreement to that effect. 9.5 Divorce Of A Joint Venturer. The divorce of any Joint Venturer shall not have the effect of terminating or dissolving this Joint Venture. Upon the divorce of a Joint Venturer, the divorced Joint Venturer shall own all of the Joint Venture interest formerly owned by the Joint Venturer and his spouse. ARTICLE X DEFAULT BY JOINT VENTURER 10.1 Events of Default. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by a Joint Venturer: (a) Failure of a Joint Venturer to make when due any contribution or advance required to be made under the terms of this agreement and failure to make such contribution or advance within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Joint Venture; (b) Violation of any of the other provisions of this agreement and failure to cure such violation within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Joint Venture; (c) The making of an assignment for benefit of creditors or the filing of a petition under any section or chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States, or any State thereof; (d) Adjudication of a Joint Venturer as a bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against the Joint Venturer under any section to the chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States, or any State thereof, without further possibility of appeal or review; and, (e) The appointment of a receiver for all or substantially all of the assets of a Joint Venturer and the failure to have such receiver discharged within thirty (30) days after appointment. 5 10.2 Effect of Default. Upon occurrence of any such events of default, the interest of the defaulting Joint Venturer in the Joint Venture and the Venture property shall be completely forfeited. The interest so forfeited shall become the sole property of the remaining Joint Venturer. Provided, however, such forfeiture shall not relieve the defaulting Joint Venturer from personal liability for his or its pro rata share of any outstanding indebtedness, liabilities, liens and obligations relating to the Joint Venture or the Venture property as of the date of the forfeiture. The default of any Joint Venturer hereunder shall not release any other Joint Venturer. ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 11.1 Notices.
