This is based on the definition of "Available Cash" (defined to include "all cash receipts of the Partnership during such quarter from all sources") and Section 5.3 (which provides that "Within 45 days following the end of . . . each calendar quarter commencing with the calendar quarter beginning on July 1, 1994, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such period or quarter shall be distributed in accordance with this Article V by the Partnership to the Partners"). My reading is that the settlement money is a "cash receipt" during the second quarter and must be distributed as Available Cash. Bob thought this question deserved a thorough review and was hoping to be involved in its resolution. Based on his impression from the last meeting, he thought he would have an opportunity to look at it after his vacation. He may have some additional thoughts on the analysis, so please let me know how you would like to proceed. -------------------------------- Carlos Pena Vinson & Elkins Phone: 512-495-8522 Fax: 512-236-3247
