ARTICLE 4. ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND NET LOSSES
Section 4.1. Net Profits and Net Losses. Net Profits and Net Losses for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated as follows. First, Net Profits up to the amount of Net Cash Flow distributed pursuant to Section 5.3 with respect to such Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Members receiving such distributions in the ratio of such distributions. Thereafter, any remaining Net Profits or Net Losses shall be allocated in such a manner as to cause the balance in the Capital Account of each Member, as adjusted to reflect the allocations provided hereunder, to be equal to the aggregate amount of cash such Member would receive if all of the assets of the Company were sold for an amount of cash equal to their respective book values, all debt obligations were satisfied in accordance with their respective terms and the remaining cash were distributed as provided in Section 5.4.
Section 4.2. Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.1, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses to the extent necessary to comply with the “qualified income offset” provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations; the partnership “minimum gain chargeback” provisions of Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations; and the “partner nonrecourse deduction” and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provisions of Section 1.704-2(i) of the Regulations, all issued pursuant to Code Section 704(b) (the “Regulatory Allocations”).
Section 4.3. Curative Allocations.
4.3.1. The Regulatory Allocations are intended to comply with the requirements of the Regulations under Code Section 704(b). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), Net Profits and Net Losses (and, if necessary, gross income and specific deductions) shall be specially allocated, when and as reasonably determined by the Managing Member, so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations and any Net Losses reallocated pursuant to Section 4.4, were not part of this Agreement and all items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.1.
| 5 |
4.3.2. In exercising the Managing Member’s discretion under this Section 4.3, the Managing Member (i) shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 4.2 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 4.2, and (ii) shall make all appropriate Regulatory Allocations not later than immediately prior to any Event of Dissolution.
Section 4.4. Loss Limitation, Other Allocation Rules.
4.4.1. Net Losses allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 shall not exceed the maximum amount of net losses that can be allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a consequence of an allocation of Net Losses allocated pursuant to Section 4.1, the limitation set forth in this Section 4.4.1 shall be applied on a Member by Member basis and the Net Losses not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in proportion to the positive balances in such Members’ Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations.
4.4.2. In the event that the Members’ relative interests in the Company change during any Fiscal Year, the Net Profits and Net Losses allocated to the Members for each such Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members using the “closing of the books” method in order to account for such changes (unless another permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder is approved by the Managing Member).
Section 4.5. Aspects of Net Profits and Net Losses. The terms “Net Profits” and “Net Losses”, respectively, are used in this Agreement as follows:
4.5.1. The terms “Net Profits” and “Net Losses”, respectively, mean, for each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss for such Fiscal Year as determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a).
4.5.2. For purposes of Section 4.5.1, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be separately stated pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss.
4.5.3. Notwithstanding Section 4.5.1, Net Profits and Net Losses shall include, for all purposes, (i) any income exempt from tax, (ii) any expenditures of the Company which are described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and (iii) the amount of any adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of any Company Asset pursuant to any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that Net Profits and Net Losses shall not include any adjustment to the Gross Asset Value due to any increase or decrease in the Company’s liabilities (as such liabilities would be shown on its balance sheet in accordance with GAAP).
4.5.4. Notwithstanding Sections 4.5.1 and 4.5.3, gain or loss resulting from the disposition of any Company Asset with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the assets disposed of notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such asset differs from its Gross Asset Value.
Section 4.6. Adjustments with Respect to Gross Asset Values.
4.6.1. As used in this Agreement, the term “Gross Asset Value” means, with respect to any asset, the asset’s adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that (i) the initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Member to the Company shall be the gross fair market value of such asset on the date of contribution, as mutually determined by the contributing Member and the Managing Member, and (ii) such Gross Asset Value shall thereafter be adjusted pursuant to Sections 4.6.2, 4.6.3 and 4.6.4.
| 6 |
4.6.2. Subject to the other subsections of this Section 4.6, the Managing Member may, but shall not be obligated to, adjust the Gross Asset Value of the Company Assets to equal their gross fair market value (taking Code Section 7701(g) into account), as determined in good faith by the Managing Member as of the following times (each, a “Book Adjustment Trigger”):
(i) the acquisition of an additional Membership Interest in the Company by any new or existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution;
(ii) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of assets as consideration for a Membership Interest in the Company;
(iii) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(g);
(iv) the grant of a Membership Interest in the Company (other than a de minimis Membership Interest) as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Company (directly or indirectly, including to any Affiliate of the Company) by an existing Member acting in such Member’s capacity as a Member, or by a new Member acting in a capacity as a Member or in anticipation of being a Member; and
(v) any other time when, and in a manner that, (A) maintains equality between the aggregate governing capital accounts of the Members and the amount of capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, (B) is consistent with the underlying economic arrangement of the Members, and (C) is based, wherever practicable, on federal tax accounting principles.
4.6.3. The Gross Asset Value of any asset distributed to any Member shall be the gross fair market value (taking Code Section 7701(g) into account) of such asset on the date of distribution as mutually determined by the recipient Member and the Managing Member.
4.6.4. The Gross Asset Value of the Company Assets shall be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m).
Section 4.7. Tax Allocations.
4.7.1. Allocations of taxable income, gain or loss shall be made consistent with the allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses pursuant to Section 4.1, and shall be made in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder (including allocations with respect to property contributed to the Company and property which has been revalued in accordance with Section 4.7) if and to the extent necessary to take into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis of any Company Asset and such asset’s fair market value, using any method approved by the Managing Member, so long as such method is permissible under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.7 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
4.7.2. For federal income tax purposes, all items of deduction and all items of income shall be allocated, as nearly as is practicable, in accordance with the manner in which such items were either deducted from or added to the Capital Accounts.
| 7 |
Section 4.8. TMP; Elections. For purposes of Code Section 6231(a)(7), the “tax matters partner” shall be the Managing Member (in such capacity, the “TMP”), and the TMP shall also be the “partnership representative” pursuant to Section 6223(a) of the Code for federal income tax purposes. The TMP is specifically directed and authorized (i) to take whatever steps may be necessary or desirable to perfect the TMP’s designation as the “tax matters partner”, including filing any forms or documents with the Internal Revenue Service, and (ii) to take such other action as may from time to time be required under the Code and Regulations.
Section 4.9. Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all of the Members hereby agree to any amendment to this Article 4 reasonably determined by the TMP to be necessary or advisable to comply with the requirements of the Code or the Regulations regarding the allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses and all tax items including items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit; provided, however, that such amendment shall not, without the consent of the affected Member, change such Member’s rights to receive distributions pursuant to Article 5.
Section 4.10. Partnership Treatment. The Members are aware that it is intended that the Company shall be treated as a partnership for purposes of being taxable in accordance with the provisions of subchapter K of the Code, or any comparable provision, and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 4 and each Member hereby agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article 4 in reporting such Member’s share of Company income and loss for income tax purposes. The Members further agree that, to the extent payments are made by the Company to a Member for services or the use of capital and the amount of such payments is determined without regard to the income of the Company, then such payments shall be characterized as “guaranteed payments” under Section 707 of the Code and not compensation, interest or any similar other characterization.
ARTICLE 5. DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.1. Net Cash Flow. The gross cash proceeds received by the Company from any and all sources, including any and all proceeds from the sale, other disposition, financing or refinancing of any Company Asset, and the reduction in any and all reserves and escrows previously established, shall be used for the following as shall be determined by the Managing Member:

To the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing, all covenants and obligations in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until such time as the Company Assets have been distributed pursuant to this Section 11.2 and the Certificate of Formation has been canceled in accordance with the Act.
