(b) the transferring Limited Partner and the transferring Limited Partner’s transferee execute and deliver such instruments as the Company deems necessary or desirable to effect such substitution; and

Section 11.1 Corporate Status. If a corporation, such Partner has the power under its charter documents and adequate authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement which upon such execution and delivery will be a legal, valid, and binding obligation of such party enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject only to the application of bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws regarding the rights of creditors generally and the exercise of judicial discretion in equity).

Section 11.2 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by a corporate Partner have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action of such party and, as of the date hereof, do not require the consent or approval of any person that has not been obtained and are not in contravention of or in conflict with any term or provision of the articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws of such party.

Section 11.3 Other Agreements and Violations of Law. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Partner will not breach or constitute a default under any agreement, indenture, undertaking or other instrument to which such party or any Affiliate of such Partner is a party or by which any of such persons or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, which breach or default would have a materially


Carrabba’s/Chicago, Limited Partnership		13

adverse effect on the financial condition of such Partner or on the financial condition, properties or operations of the Partnership. Other than as contemplated by this Agreement such execution, delivery, and performance will not result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien or encumbrance on any of the Partnership property nor, to the knowledge of such party, constitute or result in the violation of any law.

Section 11.4 No Litigation. There is no litigation or administrative or other proceeding or tax audit pending, or, to the knowledge of such Partner, threatened against or affecting such Partner, or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective properties, that if determined adversely, would have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition, properties or operations of the Partnership. As of the date hereof, neither such Partner, nor, to the knowledge of such Partner, any Affiliate of such Partner is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court of other governmental or regulatory authority that might in any way adversely affect the Partnership.

ARTICLE XII – MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1 Partition. The Partners hereby agree that no Partner, nor any successor in interest of any Partner, shall have the right to have any Partnership assets partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute any proceedings of law or equity to have a Partnership asset partitioned, and each Partner, on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, hereby waives any such rights.

Section 12.2 Remedies. The remedies of a Partner under this Agreement are cumulative and shall not exclude any other remedies to which any Partner may be lawfully entitled.

Carrabba’s/Chicago, Limited Partnership		14

the event such a limiting construction is impossible, such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement, but every other provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 12.6 Waiver. The failure of a Partner to enforce any term, provision, or condition of this Agreement or to insist upon strict performance of a covenant hereunder or any obligation hereunder at any time or times shall not be deemed a waiver of that term, provision, or condition for the future nor shall any specific waiver of a term, provision, or condition at one time be deemed a waiver of such Partner’s right to demand compliance therewith in the future.

Section 12.7 Parties; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall insure to the benefit of the Partners, their legal representatives, proper transferees, heirs, successors and assigns.

Section 12.8 Governing Law. This Agreement takes effect upon its acceptance and execution by the Company.

Section 12.13 Entire Contract; Amendments.
