Limited partnerships, description | Generally, the terms of the limited partnership agreements provide that until the investors' cash investment in a limited partnership (including any cash invested by us) is returned in full, the limited partnership distributes to the investors annually out of available cash from the operation of the restaurant, as a return of capital, up to 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership, with no management fee paid to us. Any available cash in excess of the 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership distributed to the investors annually, is paid one-half (1/2) to us as a management fee and one-half (1/2) to the investors, (including us), prorata based upon the investors' investment, as a return of capital. Once all of the investors, (including us), have received, in full, amounts equal to their cash invested, an annual management fee becomes payable to us equal to one-half (1/2) of cash available to be distributed, with the other one half (1/2) of available cash distributed to the investors (including us), as a profit distribution, pro-rata based upon the investors' investment. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
