7. All Partners will contribute their respective Capital Contributions fully and on time.
   
8. Withdrawal of Capital
   
8. No Partner will withdraw any portion of their Capital Contributions without the express written consent of the remaining Partners.
   
9. Additional Capital
   
9. Capital Contributions may be amended from time to time, according to the requirements of the Partnership provided that the interests of the Partners are not affected, except with the unanimous consent of the Partners. No Partner will be required to make Additional Capital Contributions. Whenever additional capital is determined to be required and an individual Partner is unwilling or unable to meet the additional contribution requirement within a reasonable period, as required by Partnership business obligations, remaining Partners may contribute in proportion to their existing Capital Contributions to resolve the amount in default. In such case the allocation of profits or losses among all the Partners will be adjusted to reflect the aggregate change in Capital Contributions by the Partners.
   
10. Any advance of money to the Partnership by any Partner in excess of the amounts provided for in this Agreement or subsequently agreed to as Additional Capital Contributions will be deemed a debt owed by the Partnership and not an increase in Capital Contributions of the Partner. This liability will be repaid with interest at rates and times to be determined by a majority of the Partners within the limits of what is required or permitted in the Act. This liability will not entitle the lending Partner to any increased share of the Partnership's profits nor to a greater voting power. Such debts may have preference or priority over any other payments to Partners as may be determined by a majority of the Partners.
    
11. Capital Accounts
    
11. An individual capital account (the "Capital Account") will be maintained for each Partner and their Initial Capital Contributions will be credited to this account. Any Additional Capital Contributions made by any Partner will be credited to that Partner's individual Capital Account.
    
12. Interest on Capital
    
12. No borrowing charge or loan interest will be due or payable to any Partner on their agreed Capital Contributions inclusive of any agreed Additional Capital Contributions.
    
13. Financial Decisions
    
13. Decisions regarding the distribution of profits, allocation of losses, and the requirement for Additional Capital Contributions as well as all other financial matters will be decided by a unanimous vote of the Partners.
    
14. Profit and Loss
    
14. Subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, the net profits and losses of the Partnership, for both accounting and tax purposes, will accrue to and be borne by the Partners in equal proportions (the "Profit and Loss Distribution").

15. Accurate and complete books of account of the transactions of the Partnership will be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and at all reasonable times will be available and open to inspection and examination by any Partner.
