The interest on any Cash Needs Loan shall be payable at the rate of 2% per annum in excess of the Prime Rate, but in no event shall the interest payable exceed the maximum rate allowable under applicable law.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no Partner shall sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber, or permit or suffer an encumbrance of all or any part of its interest in the Partnership without the prior written consent of the other Partners, which consent may be withheld for any or no reason, and any attempt to so transfer without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that any Partner shall have the right to transfer all or any part of its interest in the Partnership to any Affiliate without such consent (subject to Section 9.3 hereof); and provided further, that any Partner may transfer all (but not less than all) of its interest in the Partnership without such consent (subject to Section 9.3 hereof) if such transfer is made in accordance with the following terms of this Section 9.1. In the event that a Partner (a "SELLING PARTNER") desires to make a bona fide sale and transfer of that Partner's entire Percentage Interest, other than to an Affiliate, the Selling Partner shall notify the other Partner in writing (the "SALE NOTICE") specifying the proposed sales price (the "PRICE"), closing date and all other terms of the desired transfer (the "SALE TERMS"), and the other Partner shall have a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the "EXPIRATION DATE") to elect to purchase the Selling Partner's Percentage Interest for the Price by written notice to the Selling Partner of such election (an "ELECTION"). In the event no Election is received by the Selling Partner on or before the Expiration Date, the Selling Partner shall be free to complete a bona fide sale of the Percentage Interest on the Sale Terms during the sixty (60) day period following the Expiration Date (but only if Section 9.3 hereof is complied with upon or prior to the consummation of any such sale), but not otherwise. Each Partner who makes an Election shall be bound to purchase the Percentage Interest for the Price, and such Price may be paid either in accordance with the Sale Terms or in cash, at the purchasing Partner's option. The closing of such sale to the Partner making an Election shall be made at such time as called for in the Sale Terms, but not sooner than thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date, and title to the Percentage Interest shall be conveyed at such closing free and clear of any and all claims, liens or encumbrances, except for those previously approved by the parties. Section 9.2 Transfers By Greenberg. Any transfer by Greenberg of his interest in the Partnership, to an Affiliate or otherwise, shall not relieve Greenberg of his obligation to serve as Chief Executive Partner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which obligation shall survive and continue to bind Greenberg notwithstanding any such assignment. Section 9.3 Admission of Transferees as Partners; Notice of Restrictions to Transferees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no transferee of any interest in the Partnership, whether by voluntary assignment, by operation of law, or otherwise, shall have any interest in the Partnership or under this Agreement unless and until such transferee becomes a partner of the Partnership and assumes the obligations of a partner 15 of the Partnership by executing and delivering to the Partnership a document whereby the transferee assumes the obligations of the transferor partner. In addition to any other requirements of this Agreement, (i) no partner shall transfer or attempt to transfer any interest in the Partnership (and no transfer of any interest in the Partnership shall occur or be effective (or be deemed to have occurred)) until after such time as the transferee has received notice of the transfer restrictions in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Article 9 and this Section 9.3), and (ii) each partner agrees that it shall give (or cause to be given) such notice prior to any transfer of any of such partner's interest in the Partnership (whether such transfer is voluntary or involuntary or otherwise), and that no such transfer shall be made or effective or deemed to be made prior to the giving of such notice to the transferee. ARTICLE 10 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES ---------------------------- Section 10.1 Transactions with Affiliates. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Chief Executive Partner may enter into agreements on behalf of the Partnership with, and may pay fees to, Affiliates of the Partners, for bookkeeping, accounting, tax, tax reporting or other services provided to it by any such persons so long as, in each case, each member of the Management Committee who is not appointed by the Partner whose Affiliate the Partnership is to enter into an agreement with has approved the terms of such agreement. ARTICLE 11 DISSOLUTION, LIOUIDATION AND TERMINATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP ----------------------------------------------------------- Section 11.1 Dissolution; Liquidation; Termination. The Partnership shall dissolve only upon the earliest of the following to occur, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Act: (a) the expiration of the term of the Partnership as provided in SECTION 2.4; (b) the Bankruptcy of the Partnership; (c) the dissolution of the Partnership by judicial decree; or (d) the Partners mutually agree in writing to dissolve the Partnership. Section 11.2 Disposition of Documents and Records. All documents and records of the Partnership, including, without limitation, all financial records, vouchers, canceled checks and bank statements, shall be delivered to the Administrative Partner upon termination of the Partnership. The Administrative Partner shall retain such documents and 16 records for a period of not less then seven (7) years and shall, upon reasonable notice make such documents and records available during normal business hours to the other Partners for inspection and copying at the other Partners' cost and expense, provided, however, that if there is an audit or threat of audit such documents and records shall be retained until the audit is completed and any tax liability is finally determined. ARTICLE 12 KEY MAN INSURANCE ----------------- Section 12.1 Key Man Life Insurance. Partners other than Greenberg shall be entitled to obtain, in their discretion, Key Man Life Insurance insuring the life of Greenberg, the premiums of which shall be payable by Partners other than Greenberg. Section 12.2 Key Man Disability Insurance. Partners other than Greenberg shall be entitled to obtain, in their discretion, Key Man Disability Insurance, the premiums on which shall be payable by Partners other than Greenberg. Section 12.3 Key Man Insurance Differentiated From Greenberg's Insurance Under Section 6.8; Cooperation of Dr. Greenberg. The parties acknowledge that the Key Man insurance described in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 above is separate and distinct from the life insurance paid by the Partnership under Section 6.8 hereof, in that the Key Man insurance inures to the benefit of Partner(s) other than Greenberg and the premiums on such insurance are payable by Partner(s) other than Greenberg; whereas, the life insurance paid by the Partnership under Section 6.8 inures to the benefit of Greenberg's estate and the premiums on such insurance are payable by the Partnership. Greenberg agrees to cooperate with the Partnership and other Partner(s) in connection with obtaining and maintaining any and all such insurance, including, without limitation, submitting to reasonable examinations by, or at the request of, any applicable insurer, and to use his best efforts to assist in obtaining such insurance. ARTICLE 13 BOOKS, MAGAZINES AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS --------------------------------------- Section 13.1 Books, Magazines and Other Publications Produced by Greenberg. Upon the formation of the Partnership, Greenberg granted and transferred to the Partnership (and Greenberg hereby grants and transfers to the Partnership) all of the right, title and interests that Greenberg had or has to market, sell and distribute all books, magazines and other publications packaged, printed, produced, published and/or otherwise created, either before or after the date of the Original Partnership Agreement or this Agreement by Greenberg, his Affiliates or employees. Greenberg and the Partnership hereby agree to take all reasonable actions and to make, execute and deliver such written agreements as shall from time to time be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 13.1, all as determined by the Management Committee. 17 Section 13.2 Books, Magazines and Other Publications Not Produced by Greenberg. 13.2.1 Existing Books, Magazines and Other Publications.

Greenberg hereby agrees and confirms that (1) he shall assign (and that he previously assigned and agreed to assign, pursuant to Section 13.2.2 of the Original Partnership Agreement) all of his right, title and interest in all books, magazines and other publications which are or were packaged, printed, produced, published and/or otherwise created, after the date of the Original Partnership Agreement under the terms of any Existing Contracts (including without limitation all of his rights, copyrights, trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights relating to such books, magazines and other publications) to the Partnership and (2) his interest in all such books, magazines and other publications shall be vested in, and shall become the exclusive property of the Partnership (and that all such properties, rights and interests in existence prior to the date of this Agreement are and have been vested in, and are have become the exclusive property of the Partnership). 13.2.3 Books, Magazines and Other Publications Produced by the Partnership. The parties hereby confirm the following terms and agreements as made in Section 13.2.3 of the Original Partnership Agreement and which have been in full force and effect through the date of this Agreement, which terms and agreements are hereby again agreed to by the parties hereto as of the date hereof: (a) The Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that the Property, including, without limitation, the Existing Contracts and all copyrights, trade secrets, know-how, patents, trademarks and all other intellectual property rights embodied therein (collectively, the "PROPRIETARY RIGHTS"), is and at all times shall be the property of the Partnership. The Partnership shall have the right to use and exploit the Proprietary Rights in all manner and media whatsoever, including, without limitation, as computer software, as laser discs, as CD-ROM's, in print form, in electronic media, in audio books and as consumer and other products. 18 (b) The Partners hereby agree that, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, they shall not at any time use, copy, disclose to any third party, license, transfer or otherwise exploit the Proprietary Rights in any manner whatsoever without the express written consent of all of the Partners, which consent may be withheld for any or no reason.

(c) The Partners hereby agree that all copyrightable material generated or developed by the Partners or the Partnership in connection with the Proprietary Rights or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement are "works made for hire" and that such material shall, at all times, be the property of the Partnership; provided, however, that the Chief Executive Partner may make individual exceptions to this policy in accordance with past practice. To the extent that any such copyrightable material may not, under applicable law, be considered "works made for hire," the Partners hereby assign, transfer and convey to the Partnership the ownership of all copyrights in such materials to the extent held by the Partners, without the necessity of further consideration, and the Partnership shall be entitled to obtain and hold in its own name all copyrights with respect to such materials. Furthermore, the Partners hereby transfer, convey, grant, assign and relinquish exclusively to the Partnership whatever right, title and interest in and to the Proprietary Rights that the Partners may have under any and all patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, in perpetuity or for the longest period otherwise permitted by applicable law. Section 13.3 Income and Royalties. Greenberg hereby assigns to the Partnership (and confirms that pursuant to Section 13.3 of the Original Purchase Agreement he previously assigned to the Partnership) all of Greenberg's right, title and interest in and to any and all royalties and other income relating to the books, magazines and other publications described in Sections 13.l and 13.2 of this Agreement and the Original Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the Existing Contracts and the Proprietary Rights. Greenberg agrees he shall use his reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent to such assignment by all necessary parties, including, without limitation, appropriate publishers and collaborators. To the extent not assignable or assigned, all such royalties and other income received since the date of the Original Purchase Agreement or hereafter relating to the foregoing shall be remitted promptly by Greenberg to the Partnership, after payment of permissions and other fees required to be paid to collaborators.

Section 14.4 Validity. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect in any respect whatsoever the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement.

The decision made pursuant to such arbitration shall be binding and conclusive on all parties involved; and a judgment upon such decision may be entered in the highest court of any state or federal forum having jurisdiction, with such jurisdiction located in the respective federal and state courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.6, the request by either party for specific performance or preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, shall not be subject to mandatory arbitration under this Section 14.6 and may be adjudicated only by the courts of the State of Florida or the U.S. District Court in Florida which are located in Palm Beach County, Florida.

No consent or waiver, express or implied, by a Partner to or of any breach or default by any other Partner in the performance by such other Partner of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such other Partner of the same or any other obligations of such other Partner hereunder. Failure on the part of a Partner to complain of any act or failure to act of any other Partner or to declare any other Partner in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Partner of its rights hereunder.

The rights and remedies of either of the Partners hereunder shall not be mutually exclusive, and the exercise of one or more of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the exercise of any other provisions hereof.

All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, shall include all other genders; and the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Section 14.10 Section Headings. All Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement itself.

In the event that the foregoing restrictions are found to be unreasonable, and thereby unenforceable, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such restrictions shall be deemed automatically and retroactively modified in such a manner that such court determines to be required in order to find such restrictions to then be enforceable. Greenberg acknowledges and agrees that the covenants provided for in this Section 14.14 are reasonable and necessary in terms of time, area and line of business to protect the Partnership's legitimate business and property interests.
