Minimum Liability Allocation Sample Clauses
The Minimum Liability Allocation clause sets a baseline amount of liability that one or both parties must assume under a contract, regardless of other limitations or exclusions. In practice, this means that even if other provisions limit damages or liability, the responsible party is still required to cover at least the specified minimum amount. For example, a service provider may be required to accept liability for at least $10,000 in damages, even if the contract otherwise limits liability to a lower figure. This clause ensures that there is a guaranteed level of financial responsibility, protecting parties from being left without adequate recourse in the event of significant losses.
Minimum Liability Allocation. During the Tax Protection Period, the Partnership will offer to each Protected Partner the opportunity either (i) to enter into Qualified Guarantees of Qualified Guarantee Indebtedness or (ii) to enter into a Deficit Restoration Obligation, in such amount or amounts so as to cause the amount of partnership liabilities allocated to such Protected Partner for purposes of Section 752 of the Code to be not less than such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount and to cause the amount of partnership liabilities with respect to which such Protected Partner will be considered to be “at risk” for purposes of Section 465 of the Code to be not less than such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount, as provided in this Article 3. In order to minimize the need for Protected Partners to enter into Qualified Guarantees or DROs, the Partnership will use the optional method under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) to allocate Nonrecourse Liabilities considered secured by a Gain Limitation Property to the Protected Partners to the extent that the “built-in gain” with respect to those properties exceeds the amount of the Nonrecourse Liabilities considered secured by such Gain Limitation Property allocated to the Protected Partners under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(2).
Minimum Liability Allocation. (a) During the Tax Protection Period, the Partnership will offer to each Protected Partner the opportunity, in the Partnership’s discretion, either (i) to enter into a “bottom dollar guarantee” of certain liabilities of the Partnership (substantially in the form set forth in Schedule 2.1(c)) pursuant to which the lender for the guaranteed liability is required to pursue all other collateral and security for the guaranteed liability (other than any “bottom dollar guarantees”) prior to seeking to collect on such a guarantee, and the lender shall have recourse against the guarantor only if, and solely to the extent that, the total amount recovered by the lender with respect to the guaranteed liability after the lender has exhausted its remedies is less than the aggregate of the guaranteed amounts with respect to such liability, and the maximum aggregate liability of each partner for all guaranteed liabilities shall be limited to the amount actually guaranteed by such partner (a “Bottom Guarantee”) or (ii) to enter into a Deficit Restoration Obligation, in such amount or amounts so as to cause a special allocation of partnership liabilities to such Protected Partner for purposes of Section 752 of the Code such that the Protected Partner’s allocable share of Partnership liabilities equals such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount and to cause a special allocation of partnership liabilities for purposes of Section 465 of the Code that increases the Protected Partner’s “at risk” amount by an amount equal to such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount (determined as of the Closing Date). In order to minimize the need for the Protected Partner to enter into such Bottom Guarantees or Deficit Restoration Obligations, the Protected Partner will use the additional method under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) to allocate Nonrecourse Liabilities to the Indirect Owners to the maximum extent possible. In the event that applicable Treasury Regulations (the “Applicable Rules”) are issued which modify the requirements for bottom dollar guarantees to be effective in causing special allocations of partnership liabilities to Protected Partners for purposes of Section 752 of the Code and/or Section 465 of the Code, the Partnership, at its option and in its sole discretion, may agree to work with the Protected Partners together to modify any Bottom Guarantees to the extent necessary such that they will be effective under the Applicable Rules.
