the first priority (with all loans having been made in response
to a single
notice being deemed to have been made at the same time). If more

distributions in repayment of the principal and interest of the
Partner Loans
shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amounts advanced
by the Partners.

any other
Partner, if and to the extent that any return is required, and
any such return
shall be made solely from the assets of the Partnership, if
any.

as
provided in Section 3.7, Net Cash Flow shall be distributed or
