• The partnership's business will be run by a management committee appointed by the partners.
  
• Each partner has a right of first refusal to acquire the partnership interest of a departing partner.
  
• A partner wishing to withdraw may issue a mandatory (shotgun) buy-sell notice to the other partners.
  
• There is also a mandatory buy-sell provision upon the death of a partner, whereby the surviving partner(s) must purchase the interest of the deceased partner, with the buy-out funded by life insurance policies purchased on each of the principals.
