Consistent with the foregoing, the purposes and intent of the Partnership are to own, operate, and maintain the Partnership Assets, to produce income from Partnership Assets, to hold the Partnership Assets for investment and/or to sell Partnership Assets for capital appreciation, and to provide a means for the Partners to preserve the Partnership Assets from the claims of others, which purposes shall include the following: 3.1.1 to acquire and accept conveyance of the Partnership Assets and any additional assets conveyed to the Partnership at any time and from to time to time; 3.1.2 to acquire, own operate, lease, sell, and otherwise deal with ranches and farms; 3.1.3 to vote, and otherwise deal with and manage, stock in any corporation which is a Partnership Asset. 3.1.4 to own, operate, maintain, construct improvements, rent, lease, or sell the Partnership Assets, whether as a part or as a whole; 3.1.5 to incur debt for the acquisition of Partnership Assets and for other Partnership purposes; 3.1.6 to produce income from the Partnership Assets; 3.1.7 to hold the Partnership Assets for capital appreciation and investment and to sell or exchange all or any part of the Partnership Assets; 3.1.8 to continue the ownership of the Partnership Assets without fractionalizing and to restrict the rights of others to acquire interests in the Partnership Assets; 3.1.9 to provide flexibility in business planning not available through trusts, corporations or other businesses entities; 3.1.10 to facilitate the administration of the Partnership Assets and to reduce the cost and business interruptions associated with the disability, bankruptcy or death of a Partner; 3.1.11 to make loans to Persons in furtherance of the Partnership purpose; 3.1.12 to invest, reinvest, encumber, pledge, mortgage, finance, and refinance any and all partnership Assets; and/or 3.1.13 to engage in any other lawful business under the Act and within the contemplation of this Agreement as long as the same shall be for the benefit of the Partnership.
