EX-10 2 ig10qex101.txt EXHIBIT 10.1 EXHIBIT 10.1 2008 AMENDMENT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT THIS 2008 AMENDMENT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT ("Amendment"), dated as of December 1, 2008 (the "Effective Date"), is made by JUSTICE INVESTORS, a California partnership (the "Partnership"), PORTSMOUTH SQUARE, INC., a California corporation ("Portsmouth" or "Managing General Partner"), EVEN CORPORATION, formerly known as "Evon Garage Corporation", a California corporation ("Evon" or "Co-General Partner") (Portsmouth and Evon, each a "General Partner" and collectively, the "General Partners"), and the parties listed on the signature pages of this Amendment (each a "Limited Partner" and collectively, the "Limited Partners") (the General Partners and the Limited Partners, each a "Partner" and collectively, the "Partners") (the Partnership and the Partners, each a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"). RECITALS A. On July 10, 1967, certain Partners formed the Partnership by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Office of the Recorder of the City and County of San Francisco on July 10, 1967. The Partners are subject to that certain Limited Partnership Agreement dated July 10, 1967, as amended by that certain Amended Limited Partnership Agreement dated March 20, 1968, as amended by that certain Amended Limited Partnership Agreement dated January 1, 1979 ("1979 Restated Agreement"), as amended by that certain Amendment of Partnership Agreement dated as of June 27, 2005 ("2005 Amendment"). The Partners agree that the 1979 Restated Agreement, as amended by the 2005 Amendment (collectively, the "Partnership Agreement") is the operative document of the Partnership. B. In or around 1983, Justice Enterprises, Inc., which was one of the two original general partners, withdrew as a general partner and Evon was made a general partner with Portsmouth. Evon has been acting as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, and Portsmouth has been acting as the other General Partner. C. The Partnership is the owner of that certain real property located at 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco, California (the "Property"), on which a hotel (the "Hotel") and a garage (the "Garage") are located. The Hotel is currently managed by Prism Hospitality, L.P., a Texas limited partnership ("Prism") pursuant to that certain Management Agreement dated as of February 2, 2007, by and between the Partnership and Prism (the "Hotel Management Agreement"). The persons operating the Hotel are employees of a subsidiary of the Partnership. The Garage is currently managed by Ace Parking Management, Inc. ("Ace") pursuant to that certain Parking Facility Management Agreement dated as of September, 1, 2005, by and between Evon and Ace, which was assigned to the Partnership as of July 1, 2008 (the "Garage Management Agreement"). The Partnership also leases portions of the Property to various tenants. These tenants include the Chinese Cultural Center, a spa and various antennae on the roof of the Hotel. D. The General Partners have determined that it will be beneficial to the Partnership to modify the powers and duties of the General Partners so that Portsmouth takes on Evon's former role as Managing General Partner and Evon takes on Portsmouth's former role as the other General Partner. The General Partners have therefore recommended to the Limited Partners that the Partnership Agreement be amended to modify the management roles and compensation of the General Partners. E. The Partners desire to amend the Partnership Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Amendment. NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and the mutual provisions contained in this Amendment, the Parties agree as follows: AGREEMENT 1. Managing General Partner; Co-General Partner. The Partnership has two General Partners. Notwithstanding any contrary language in any prior Partnership agreements, as of the Effective Date, the Managing General Partner is Portsmouth (the "Managing General Partner") and the other General Partner is Evon (the "Co-General Partner"). 2. Partnership Office. Each General Partner shall have access to the office of the Partnership located at 750 Kearny Street, Room 502, San Francisco, California 94108 ("Partnership Office") and the Property. The furniture, fixtures, and equipment currently located at the Partnership Office shall remain the property of the Partnership. At the sole cost of the Partnership, each General Partner shall be provided with a computer terminal, desk, file space, access to all Partnership office equipment, and incidental assistance from the Partnership clerical staff as may be necessary to assist such General Partner in the performance of such General Partner's duties. 3.

The disputing Parties agree that mediation shall be completed within thirty (30) days of a notification of a dispute, unless otherwise agreed by such Parties in writing. 11.2 Arbitration of Disputes.

This agreement to mediate or arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable under the prevailing mediation and arbitration laws. 11.4 Legal Fees and Costs.

Limited Partnership Interest Transfers. Paragraph 17 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby repealed and replaced with the following Paragraph 17: 17. Limited Partnership Interest Transfers. The interest of a Limited Partner is transferable (including transfers to a Permitted Transferee) only with the consent of both General Partners, which 10 consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Paragraph 17, a "Permitted Transferee" is: (i) the spouse or member of the family of the Limited Partner; (ii) a custodian, trustee (including a trustee of a voting trust), executor, or other fiduciary for the account of the Limited Partner, the spouse of the Limited Partner or members of the family of the Limited Partner; or (iii) a trust for the benefit of the Limited Partner. 17.1 Representations by Portsmouth and Proposed Transferee. When any transfer of a Limited Partner interest is proposed (other than a transfer to a Permitted Transferee), Portsmouth and the Proposed Transferee each shall separately provide the Partnership and Evon with affirmative written representations (a) that to the knowledge of the party making the representation, the proposed transferee is not an Affiliate of Portsmouth (b) that the party making the representation has not entered into and it does not presently intend to enter into any agreement by which such interest will be transferred to Portsmouth, or an Affiliate of Portsmouth, and (c) that the party making the representation is not aware of any other reason that the proposed transfer reasonably could result in a Material Reassessment of the Property. For purposes of this Paragraph 17, an "Affiliate" of Portsmouth is any party that is 50% or more owned by Portsmouth or any Affiliate of Portsmouth. 17.2 Withholding Consent. Within ten business (10) days after Portsmouth and the Proposed Transferee have delivered the written representation described in Paragraph 17.1, either General Partner may withhold consent to a proposed transfer of a Limited Partner interest. The non-consenting General Partner shall provide, at the time such consent is withheld, a written explanation to the other General Partner specifying in reasonable detail (including specific citations to applicable legal authority and factual evidence) the reasons why consent was withheld. The written explanation will also include any specific information that the non-consenting General Partner reasonably needs in order to provide its approval. The withholding of consent is not unreasonable if the objecting General Partner reasonably believes that the proposed transfer would materially harm the Partnership or the Property or if the proposed transfer reasonably could result in a Material Reassessment of the Property. "Material Reassessment of the Property" shall mean that as a result of the proposed transfer, the Property is subject to reassessment and that such reassessment would result in a material increase in property taxes assessed against the Property that are payable by the Partnership in any year or years. 17.3 Material Reassessment Risk. If a General Partner withholds consent to a proposed transfer on grounds that a Material Reassessment of the Property reasonably could result, the refusal of such General Partner to consent to the proposed transfer shall be reasonable unless the proposed transferee or the other General 11 Partner has provided to the objecting General Partner written materials (including specific citations to applicable legal authority and factual evidence) reasonably satisfactory to the objecting General Partner demonstrating that the proposed transfer will not result in a Material Reassessment of the Property. In the event that such written materials are delivered to the objecting General Partner, the consent of the objecting General Partner shall be presumed to have been given unless, within ten business (10) days after receipt of such written materials, the objecting General Partner notifies the other General Partner of its continuing objection. In such event, either General Partner may pursue dispute resolution as provided in Paragraph 11 of the Partnership Agreement. 17.4 New Partners to Be Bound by Partnership Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Partnership Agreement, a transferee shall be admitted as a Limited Partner only upon the transferee's agreement to being bound by the terms of this Partnership Agreement. 17.5 Assignment of Distribution Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Partnership Agreement, each Limited Partner shall have the right to assign his, her or its right to distributions from the partnership. 17.6 Examination Rights. Each Partner shall have the right to examine the books and records of the Partnership upon reasonable notice to the General Partners. 10. Partnership Interests. Updated schedules of the percentage ownership interests of all Partners are attached hereto as Exhibit B, replacing Exhibit B to the 1979 Restated Agreement and Exhibits A, B and C to the 2005 Amendment. 11. Conflict Between Documents. In the event of a conflict between the Partnership Agreement and this Amendment, the Partners agree that this Amendment shall control. 12 12. Partnership Documents. Except as expressly set forth herein, all provisions of the Partnership Agreement remain in full force and effect. The General Partners Compensation Agreement dated as of February 23, 2006, has been replaced as of the Effective Date by the General Partners Compensation Agreement of even date herewith. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Partners have caused this Amendment to be executed as of the Effective Date. "MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER" "CO-GENERAL PARTNER" PORTSMOUTH SQUARE, INC.
