Any such loans may be evidenced by promissory notes containing terms, interest rates, maturities, and security as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall determine; provided that if the General Partner provides such loans, the terms of such loans shall be at rates and on terms which the General Partner or its corporate parent company, HEALTHSOUTH Corporation, has available to it in the marketplace at the time such funds are advanced.

The Capital Contributions actually paid into the Partnership (which for this purpose shall include “deemed” contributions of property to the Partnership under Code §708) shall be credited to each Partner’s Capital Account. The Capital Account of each Partner (General as well as Limited Partners) shall be (a) increased by (1) the amount of money contributed by that Partner to the Partnership (2) the fair market value of property contributed by that Partner to the Partnership (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Code §752), and (3) allocations to that Partner of Partnership income and gain including income and gain exempt from tax and income and gain as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), excluding, however, allocations made pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i); (b) decreased by (1) the amount of money distributed to that Partner by the Partnership, (2) the fair market value of property distributed to that Partner by the Partnership (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to under Code §752), (3) allocations of expenditures of the Partnership described in Code § 705(a)(2)(B), and (4) allocations of Partnership loss and deduction, including loss and deduction, computed for book purposes, as described in Regulation 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), excluding, however, allocations made pursuant to Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(iii), and (c) otherwise adjusted in accordance with Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

6.8 Additional Capital. To the extent that the Partnership• requires funds for expenditures for Capital Expenditures other than as hereinabove provided for (“Additional Capital”), the General Partner shall give at least ten days’ written notice (the “Capital Notice”) to the Partners, specifying in reasonable detail (i) the total amount of Additional Capital required; (ii) each Partner’s pro rata share (the “Requested Amount”) of the Additional Capital; (iii) the date (the “Capital Demand Daze”) on which the Additional Capital is to be contributed to the Partnership; and (iv) the terms on which the Additional Capital is to be contributed to the Partnership. Each Partner shall contribute its Requested Amount on or before the Capital Demand Date. In the event any Partner fails to contribute its Requested Amount prior to the Capital Demand Date (such Partner being herein referred to as the “Defaulting Partner”), then each nondefaulting Partner (“Nondefaulting Partner”) shall have the right to contribute the amount of capital not contributed by the Defaulting Partner in proportion to the ratio of the respective Percentage Interest of the Nondefaulting Partners who so contribute. In the event a Nondefaulting Partner contributes toward the Requested Amount not contributed by the Defaulting Partner but contributes less than its pro rata share of such amount, the difference may be contributed by any or all of the other Nondefaulting Partners, pro rata. All such contributions shall be made within 10 days of notification to the Nondefaulting Partners of the Defaulting Partner’s failure to contribute the full Requested Amount. In the event the Nondefaulting Partners do not contribute sums sufficient to cover the amount of capital not contributed by the Defaulting Partner within said 10 days, the General Partner may provide or arrange for a loan evidenced by promissory notes containing terms, interest rates, maturities, and security as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall determine; provided that if the General Partner provides such loans, the terms of such loans shall be substantially similar to those terms which might be arranged with a non-Affiliate lender. The General Partner may pledge or grant security interests in any and all of the Partnership’s assets as security for any indebtedness of the Partnership. In arranging such loans, the General Partner shall not be required to guarantee, or otherwise put its credit behind, any loans from third-party institutions.

6.9 Adjustments to Percentage Interests. In the event the Nondefaulting Partners contribute all or any part of a Defaulting Partner’s Requested Amount to the Partnership, then, effective from the Capital Demand Date, the Percentage Interest of each Partner shall hereupon be recalculated so that (1) the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner shall be equal to, the amount of capital previously contributed by the Defaulting Partner to the Partnership divided by the sum of (i) the amount

of the Additional Capital plus (ii) the aggregate amount of the Capital Contributions of all the Partners immediately prior to the Capital Demand Date, and (2) the Percentage Interest of each Nondefaulting Partner immediately prior to the contribution of the Additional Capital shall be increased by the amount of decrease to the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner pursuant to the recalculation set forth in clause (1) of this Section 6.9, to be added to the respective Percentage Interest of each Nondefaulting Partner on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Partnership may issue additional Units or fractional Units to reflect any changes in the Percentage Interest of each Partner as required in this Section 6.9.

6.10 Reasonableness of Remedies. The Partners hereby acknowledge to one another that because of the difficulty in calculating the damage that may result from failure of a Partner to make a capital contribution when required by the agreements set forth in Section 6.8 hereof, the reductions of a Partner’s Percentage Interest for failure to make a required contribution and the basis of calculation for such reductions have been approved by the General Partner and Limited Partners as fair and reasonable and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Partnership for the failure to comply with the terms of Section 6.8 hereof.

6.11 Reduction of Percentage Interest to Zero. If a Defaulting Partner’s Percentage Interest shall be reduced to zero, then the Defaulting Partner shall have no further right, title or interest in or to the Partnership and shall, upon the request of the Partnership, execute and deliver to the Partnership such documents of transfer and assignment, and such other instruments as the General Partner shall reasonably request, to confirm that the Defaulting Partner has no further right, title or interest in or to the Partnership. Upon execution and delivery of such requested documents or instruments, the indemnification previously provided by such Defaulting Partner shall be of no further force and effect.

6.12 Example. The following example is intended to illustrate how Sections 6.8 and 6.9 hereof work: Assume total initial Capital Contributions of $2,250,000. The General Partner notifies all Limited Partners that the Partnership needs Additional Capital of $500,000. A Limited Partner, whose Percentage Interest is 30%, fails to contribute its Requested Amount of $ 150,000, which is subsequently contributed by the Nondefaulting Partners. Under Section 6.9 hereof, the Defaulting Partner’s and the Nondefaulting Partner’s Percentage Interest would be adjusted as follows:


(1)	Limited Partnership Percentage Interest of Defaulting Partner Before Default		30	%
(2)	Capital Previously Contributed by Defaulting Partner	$	675,000
(3)	Capital Previously Contributed by All Partners	$	2,250,000
(4)	Additional Capital	$	500,000
(5)	Add figures in items (3) and (4)	$	2,750,000
(7)	Divide figure in item (2) by the figure in item (5)		675,000/2,750,000
(8)	Percentage Interest of Defaulting Partner After Default		24.55	%
(9)	Percentage Interest of Nondefaulting Partner Before Default		70	%
(10)	Subtract item (8) from item (1)		5.45	%
(11)	Percentage Interest of Nondefaulting Partner after Default and contribution by Nondefaulting Partners (add item (10) to item (9))		75.45	%

6.13 Representations and Warranties. The General Partner and HEALTHSOUTH hereby represent, warrant and covenant to each other as follows:

6.13.1 Organization and Good Standing. Each of the General Partner and HEALTHSOUTH is a corporation duly organized, validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and each has full power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now owned and operated.

ARTICLE VIII

ALLOCATION OF INCOME AND LOSS;

CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

8.1 Allocation of Income or Loss. Profits and Losses of the Partnership shall be determined in accordance with the rules of Subchapter K of the Code. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 8.5 and 8.6 hereof, the Profits and Losses of the Partnership with respect to each fiscal year shall be allocated to the General Partner in an amount equal to the General Partner’s Percentage Interest, and to the Limited Partners in an amount equal to the aggregate Limited Partner’s Percentage Interest. If property other than cash is distributed by the Partnership, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted to reflect how much Profit or Loss would have been allocated to the respective Partners if the property had been sold at the value or values assigned thereto for purposes of making the distribution. Allocations among the Limited Partners shall be based on the number of Units, or fraction thereof, owned by each Limited Partner.

8.2 Distribution of Available Cash. The Available Cash of the Partnership shall be allocated and distributed to the General Partner in an amount determined by multiplying the General Partner Interest by the amount of the Available Cash, and to the Limited Partners in the amount determined by multiplying the Limited Partner Interest by the amount of Available Cash. Such distributions shall be made in quarterly installments within 75 days after the end of each calendar quarter or as soon thereafter as practicable.

8.3 Distribution of Sale Proceeds. Except in the case of a dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Article 13 below, the Sale Proceeds shall be allocated and distributed to the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests. Such distribution shall be made as soon after the receipt by the Partnership of such Sale Proceeds as the General Partner deems practicable.

8.4 Consequences of Distributions. Upon the determination to distribute funds in any manner expressly provided in this Article 8, made in good faith, the General Partner shall incur no liability on account of such distribution, even though such distribution may have resulted in the Partnership retaining insufficient funds for the operation of its business, which insufficiency resulted in loss to the Partnership or necessitated the borrowing of funds by the Partnership, or the Partnership or a Limited Partner otherwise was adversely affected by such distribution.

8.5 Limitation On Loss Allocations Which Create An Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year. In the event some but not all of the Partners would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, the limitation set forth in this Section 8.5 shall be applied on a Partner by Partner basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Partner under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations. All Losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this Section 8.5 shall be allocated to the General Partner.

8.6 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

8.6.1 “Minimum Gain Chargeback” Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation § 1.704-2(f), and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulation §1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation §§1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 8.9 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation §1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

8.6.2 Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback Rules. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4), and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership taxable year, each Xxxxxx who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulation §1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation §§1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 8.10 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation §1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently the therewith.

8.6.3 Qualified Income Offset Allocations. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations §§1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.6.3 shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Section 8 have been tentatively made as if this Section 8.6.3 were not in the Agreement. This special allocation shall be referred to as the “Qualified Income Offset” and is intended to comply with Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

8.6.4 Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any taxable year of the Partnership which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, a (ii) the amount such Partner

is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations §§1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.7042(1)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.6.4 shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other obligations provided for in this Section 8 have been made as if Section 8.6.3 hereof and this Section 8.6.4 were not in the Agreement.

8.6.5 Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the General Partner and the Limited Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Interest.

8.6.6 Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year shall be specially allocated to the General Partner or Limited Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(l).

8.7 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in §§8.5 and 8.6 hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 8.7. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, the General Partner’s and each Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such General Partner or Limited Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof. In exercising its discretion under this Section 8.7, the General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 8.6.1 and 8.6.2 hereof that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 8.6.5 and 8.6.6 hereof.

8.8 Tax Allocation Rules Under Section 704(c). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but solely for tax purposes, any gain or loss with respect to property contributed to the Partnership by a Partner shall be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis and the fair market value of contributed property at the time of contribution. The appreciation or diminution in value represented the difference between the adjusted basis and the fair market value of the contributed property at the time of the contribution will thus be attributed to the contributing Partner upon a subsequent sale or exchange of the property by the Partnership as required by Section 704(c) of the Code. The appreciation or diminution will also be used in allocating the allowable depreciation or depletion with respect to the property among the contributing Partner and the noncontributing Partners as required by Section 704(c) of the Code. Furthermore, any gain, loss, depreciation, depletion or amortization, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to property which is revalued pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations shall be allocated so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of the property as required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) of the Regulations. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section will be made in any manner that the General Partner determines reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations under this Section are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of income, losses or other items or distributions under any provision of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

RIGHTS, POWERS AND OBLIGATIONS

OF THE GENERAL PARTNER

9.1 Powers. The management and control of the Partnership and its business and affairs shall rest exclusively with the General Partner, which shall have all the rights and powers which may be possessed by a general partner pursuant to the Act, and such additional rights and powers as are otherwise conferred by law or are necessary, advisable or convenient to the discharge of its duties under this Agreement. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” within the meaning of the Code.

9.1.1 spend the capital and net income of the Partnership in the exercise of any rights or powers possessed by the General Partner hereunder;

9.1.10 commingle the assets and cash of the Partnership with the assets and cash of the General Partner and its Affiliates; provided that separate bookkeeping accounts are maintained by the General Partner for the Partnership and each Affiliate, complete records of which shall be made and are made available to each Limited Partner upon request;

9.1.11 use the business office of the Partnership to manage other Affiliates of the General Partner, or use the business office of an Affiliate of the General Partner to manage the business office of the Partnership; provided the costs and expenses thereof are allocated among the different Affiliates in a reasonable manner in accordance with accepted cost accounting procedures and practices consistently applied; or

9.2 Independent Activities.

9.2.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2.2, the General Partner may engage in whatever activities it chooses, whether or not the same be competitive with the Partnership, without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Partnership or any party hereto, and, as a material part of the consideration for the Partner’s execution hereof, each Limited Partner hereby waives, relinquishes and renounces any right or claim of participation. The Partnership shall be considered to be an entity and business wholly separate, for all purposes, from the business and affairs of the General Partner and its Affiliates, it being understood that the only obligations undertaken by the General Partner are those expressly provided in this Agreement and those which are inherent to the role of a general partner and the fiduciary obligations of the General Partner to the Limited Partners and to the Partnership imposed by the Act and by the common law.

9.2.2 The parties recognize that the General Partner may engage in activities competitive with the business of the Partnership. In the event the General Partner proposes to engage in any activities (other than those activities of the General Xxxxxx or its Affiliates related to the diagnostic facility at the Xxxxxxx Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado) in the Counties of El Paso and Pueblo, Colorado, the General Partner grants the Partnership a first refusal option upon the same terms and conditions as the General Partner shall propose to engage in such competitive activities, which the General Partner intends to accept (or has accepted subject to the Partnership’s right of first refusal granted herein). If the General Partner receives such an offer or reaches such an agreement with a party, the General Partner shall promptly notify the Partnership of the purchase price and all other material terms and conditions of such agreement, together with a copy of such offer, and Partnership shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice from the General Partner within which time to exercise the Partnership option to engage in such activities. If the Partnership exercises its option, then such engagement shall be consummated within the time set forth in the third-party offer and in accordance with the provisions of this Section. If the Partnership shall not exercise the option to engage in such activities within such 30-day period after notice from the General Partner, the General Partner shall be free for a period of 90 days after the expiration of such 30-day period to commence such activities upon substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in such offer. In the event such activities are not consummated within such 90-day period, the Partnership shall be entitled to exercise its right of first refusal as provided in this Section as to any subsequent proposed competitive activity.

9.3 Duties. The General Partner shall devote itself to the business of the Partnership to the extent that it, in its discretion, deems necessary for the efficient carrying on thereof. The General Partner explicitly acknowledge that it is a fiduciary with respect to all affairs of the Partnership including the safekeeping and use of the funds and assets of the Partnership.

9.4 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere herein, except as otherwise provided herein, without obtaining the consent of Limited Partners holding 50% of the outstanding aggregate Limited Partner Interest, or such greater Limited Partner Interest as is required under the Act, the General Partner shall not: (i) act in contravention of this Agreement; (ii) confess a judgment against the Partnership; or (iii) except as permitted by Section 17.6 or as required to perform acts authorized in Sections 2.3 and 9.1 hereof, amend this Agreement.

9.5 Net Worth of the General Partner. The General Partner shall have and maintain at all times during which it is the general partner of the Partnership a net worth which is sufficient to conduct the business of the Partnership in a prudent manner and sufficient to comply with any requirements of the Code or the regulations thereunder or interpretations of the Internal Revenue Service with respect to either thereof necessary to avoid the taxation of the Partnership as an association taxable as a corporation.

9.6 Indemnification. Neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Partnership or any Limited Partner for any action or inaction of the General Partner in connection with the business or affairs of the Partnership, so long as the person against whom liability is asserted acted in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably believed by such person to be in the best interests of the Partnership, but only if such course of conduct does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. The General Partner and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against costs or expenses directly attributable to any claim, liability, damage, loss, or other expense (including, without limitation, investigating and defending any claims and lawsuits and settlement thereof, and legal and accounting costs in connection therewith) incurred by any such entity or entities solely by virtue of the performance by any of them of the duties of the General Partner acting as general partner in connection with the Partnership’s business, so long as such indemnified person acted in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably believed by such person to be in the best interests of the Partnership, but only if such course of conduct does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided that such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless shall be recoverable only out of assets of the Partnership and not from the Limited Partners.

9.7 General Partner as Limited Partner. The General Partner may be a Limited Partner to the extent that it (a) contributes capital under Section 6.2, or (b) Purchases or otherwise acquires or becomes the transferee of all or any part of a Limited Partner Interest.

9.8 Succession as General Partner. The General Partner may at any time assign its General Partner Interest to any Affiliate of the General Partner without the consent of the Limited Partners. Any corporation into which the General Partner may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Partner shall be a party, shall be the successor of the General Partner hereunder, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In any such event, the General Partner shall amend this Certificate within 90 days thereafter.

ARTICLE X

STATUS OF LIMITED PARTNERS

10.1 No Participation in Management. Except as provided in the Professional Radiology Services Agreement entered into of even date herewith, no Limited Partner shall take part in the management of the business of the Partnership, transact any business for the Partnership, have the power to sign for or to bind the Partnership to any agreement or document, or otherwise act as an agent for the Partnership for any purpose. Such powers to manage and transact Partnership business, to bind or otherwise act as the agent of the Partnership are vested solely and exclusively in the General Partner.

10.2 Limited Liability. Subject to the provisions of the Act, no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability, whether to the Partnership, to the Partners or to the creditors of the Partnership, for the debts of the Partnership or any of its losses beyond the amount committed by him to the capital of the Partnership as set forth or referred to in Section 6.2, and the Limited Partner’s share of undistributed profits.

10.3 Eligibility of Limited Partners. Without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole discretion, no Person shall be liable to be a Limited Partner, or a member, partner or shareholder of a Limited Partner which is not an individual, unless, at the time such Person purchases or otherwise acquires a Unit, such Person shall meet the requirements contained in Section 11.1 below, and shall have agreed to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other terms and conditions as the General Partner may reasonably request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner may require certain representations and warranties from a Limited Partner in order to comply with federal, state or local laws and regulations concerning the purchase and sale of securities, tax consequences and other matters applicable to the Partnership or the General Partner. The General Partner may require any Person desiring to become a Limited Partner to execute an option for the Partnership to repurchase such Person’s Limited Partner Interest on terms determined by the General Partner on a case by case basis even if such terms are different than the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the terms and conditions of options to purchase the Limited Partner Interests of others. If the Partnership has such an option to repurchase a Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest and also has the right to purchase a Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest under Article XI hereof, the Partnership may choose which method it desires to purchase such Limited Partner Interest.

10.4 Investment Intent. Each Limited Partner represents and warrants to the partnership and to the General Partner that it has acquired its Units and interest in Partnership for investment solely for its own account with the intention of holding such Units and interest for investment, without any intention of participating directly or indirectly in any distribution of any portion of such Units or interest, and without the financial participation of any other person in acquiring its Units or interest in the Partnership.

10.5 Unregistered Limited Partner Interests. Each Limited Partner acknowledges that its Units and interest in the Partnership have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, or under any state securities laws. Each Limited Partner further acknowledges that its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are being relied upon by the Partnership and by the General Partner as the basis for the exemption of the Limited Partners’ Units and interests in the Partnership from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws. Each Limited Partner further acknowledges that the Partnership will not recognize, and has no obligation to recognize, any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of any Units or interest in the Partnership to any Person unless and until the provisions of Section 11 hereof have been fully satisfied.

10.6 Nature of Investment. Each Limited Partner acknowledges that prior to its execution of this Agreement, such Limited Partner (i) received a copy of this Agreement and such other documents relating to the Partnership, the General Partner and the activities and proposed activities of the Partnership as it deems relevant to its investment in the Partnership; and (ii) examined such documents or caused such documents to be examined by its attorney and financial advisers. Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the purchase of its interest in the Partnership is a speculative investment involving a high degree of risk and represents that it has a net worth sufficient to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Partnership and to justify its investment in a highly speculative venture such as the Partnership.

10.7 Agreement not to Compete.

10.7.1 Agreement not to Compete; Term; Area. During the period a Limited Partner, other than an Affiliate of the General Partner, holds an interest in the Partnership and for a period of one year from the date of termination of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, said Limited Partner shall not, without the prior written consent of a duly authorized officer of General Partner, directly or indirectly, (i) own (in whole or in part), operate or have a proprietary interest in any enterprise or business which provides any of the diagnostic imaging services provided by the Partnership’s business, or (ii) be employed by, be an agent of, or act as consultant for any outpatient diagnostic imaging facility, which business, enterprise or outpatient facility referenced in (i) or (ii) is located in any part of the area within a twenty mile radius of any of the Centers; provided that ownership of less than two percent of the outstanding securities of any class traded on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System will not be deemed to be engaging, solely by reason thereof, in the diagnostic imaging business. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 10.7.1 is invalid or unenforceable, each party agrees that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of time within which the judgment may be appealed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 10.7 shall not apply in the event the General Partner dissolves the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.1.1.6.

10.7.2 Clarification of Scope of Agreement Not to Compete. The parties acknowledge that a Limited Partner may be a licensed physician providing medical services, including without limitation radiology services, in the geographic area described in Section 10.7.1 above. This Agreement is not intended to prohibit the personal performance of medical care by any such licensed physician. This Agreement is not intended to prohibit any such physician from holding any position which does not compete with the diagnostic imaging business of the Partnership or from holding any position on the medical staff of any acute care hospital. Further, this Agreement is not intended (i) to prohibit any Limited Partner from referring patients to any entity he or she so desires, including a competitor of the Partnership; (ii) to induce any Limited Partner to refer or continue historical patterns to the Partnership; or (iii) to exercise influence over the reason and judgment of any Limited Partner regarding referrals of patients.

ARTICLE XI

TRANSFER OF INTERESTS IN THE PARTNERSHIP

11.1 In General. Subject to the rights of first refusal granted to the General Partner and the Partnership below, a Limited Partner may sell, assign or otherwise transfer any or all of the Units owned by Limited Partner; provided that:

11.1.1 such Limited Partner shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any Unit unless the sale, assignment or transfer is made to a Person who is a resident of the State of Alabama or Colorado or a corporation, partnership, trust or similar entity which is qualified to do business in the States of Alabama or Colorado;

11.1.2 such Limited Partner and its purchaser, assignee or transferee execute, acknowledge and deliver to the General Partner such instruments of transfer and assignment with respect to such transaction as are in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner; and

11.1.3 such Limited Partner pays the Partnership a transfer fee which is sufficient to pay all costs and expenses of the Partnership and the General Partner in connection with such transaction;

provided, further, that such purchaser, assignee or transferee shall not become a substituted Limited Partner within the meaning of the Act unless the General Partner consents in writing to such person becoming a substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld, in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall recognize or be bound by any sale, assignment or transfer of any Unit unless the General Partner consents to such sale, assignment or transfer in writing. The General Partner will not consent to any sale, assignment or transfer of any Unit or to the admission of any person as a substituted Limited Partner if, in its opinion, such consent and substitution would result in the Partnership’s being treated for federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation, would result in a termination of the Partnership within the meaning of the Code or the Act, or would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state law pertaining to securities regulation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Limited Partner agrees that at least 60 days prior to any bona fide sale, assignment or transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) of any Unit by it, such Limited Partner will give written notice thereof to the General Partner, including name of the proposed purchaser, assignee or transferee and all of the terms, conditions and other details of such proposed sale, assignment or transfer, including a copy of any written offer. The General Partner shall have a right of first refusal for its own account for 30 days after receipt by the General Partner of such written notice in which to elect to consummate such sale, transfer or assignment itself pursuant to the same terms, conditions and material details set forth in such notice. If the General Partner does so purchase the Unit, it may resell such Unit, at any time, on whatever terms and conditions it deems appropriate in the best interest of the Partnership, without regard to the rights of first refusal set forth herein. If the General Partner fails to consummate the transaction during such 30-day period, the Partnership shall then have 30 days in which to consummate such sale, transfer or assignment pursuant to such terms, conditions and material details. If the Partnership does so purchase the Unit, it may resell such Unit, at any time, on whatever terms and conditions it deems appropriate, without regard to the rights of first refusal set forth herein. If the Partnership fails to consummate the transaction during such 30-day period, the selling Limited Partner shall then have 10 days in which to consummate such sale, transfer or assignment pursuant to such terms, conditions and material details and to such named purchaser and provide written evidence thereof to the General Partner. If the Limited Partner shall not consummate the sale, transfer or assignment during such 10-day period, such Unit shall again be subject to the rights of first refusal contained herein. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Article XI, the General Partner may, but shall in no event be required to, consent to an assignment not in compliance herewith, and such consent shall act as a waiver of the necessity to comply with the provisions of this Article XI. A waiver or consent in one case by the General Partner shall create no obligation for the General Partner to waive or consent in any other case.

11.2 Substituted Limited Partners. If neither the General Partner nor the Partnership exercises its right of first refusal and the General Partner consents to the admission of a Person as a substituted Limited Partner within the meaning of the Act, and such Person:

11.2.1 elects to become a substituted Limited Partner by delivering a written notice of such election to the General Partner;

11.2.2 executes and acknowledges such other instruments as the General Partner may deem necessary or advisable to effect the admission of such Person as a substituted Limited Partner, including, without limitation, the written acceptance and adoption by such Person of the provisions of this Agreement; and

11.2.3 pays a transfer fee to the Partnership which is sufficient to cover all costs and expenses connected with the admission of such Person as a substituted Limited Partner within the meaning of the Act including, without limitation, the cost of preparing, printing and filing for record an amendment to the Certificate in accordance with the Act;

then the General Partner shall amend this Certificate in accordance with the provisions of the Act and shall take all other steps which, in the opinion of the General Partner, are reasonably necessary to admit such person as a substituted Limited Partner under the Act. The General Partner shall file an amendment to this Certificate as required by the Act to effect the admission of a substituted Limited Partner following compliance with the conditions of this Section 11.2. Such Person shall thereupon become a substituted Limited Partner within the meaning of the Act.

11.3 Purchase of Units by the General Partner. The General Partner may acquire one or more Units owned by, or reserved for, Limited Partners, and, if with respect to such additional Unit or Units the General Partner becomes a Limited Partner within the meaning of the Act, the General Partner shall, with respect to such Unit or Units, enjoy all the rights and be subject to all the obligations and duties of a Limited Partner. Any Limited Partner Interest owned by the Partner (and not acquired by the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof) may be sold, in whole or in part, by the General Partner, on whatever terms and conditions it deems appropriate, without regard to the rights of first refusal set forth in Section 11.1 hereof.

11.4 Call Election. If there is any change in any federal or state law, rule, or regulation or any judicial interpretation thereof, which materially and adversely affects the Partnership or its operations, the General Partner shall implement procedures designed to cause the Partnership and its operations to comply with the law, rule, regulation or judicial interpretation thereof, including, but not limited to, causing the Partnership, General Partner or an affiliate of the General Partner, as designated in the sole discretion of the General Partner, to purchase Partnership Interest of each Limited Partner upon delivery of a written notice to the Limited Partner specifying the desire to purchase all of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner according to the terms set forth in this Section 11.4 (hereinafter called the “Call Election”).
