Husband might buy a business share...need help!!!?

My husband might buy a share in a grocery store business. The 2 business partner drew up a contract with their lawyers. They had a verbal agreement before hand that went like this: There are originally 2 partners and my husband is going to pay $50,000 worth of inventory to become a partner of the business. One partner will own 51% of the business, the other partner will own 24% and my husband will own 25%. Now that said, my husband and one other partner will own the inventory together and they will each get 50% of the profits and the other partner will receive $4,000 in rent each month. Now, after we read the contract it just says that my husband will own 25% of the business and it doesn't say anything about getting 50% of the profits. All it says is that my husband and the other partner will work equal hours and will get equal amounts of salaries. The third partner will not work because he is older. My question is, does the equal amounts of salaries also include the profit or will it only be the employment salaries? We just don't want the third man (who will not work) to start taking 50% and the other 50% be split between my husband and the other man. Then the business will not even be worth it.
