5. Distributions and Tax Allocations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a “liquidation” of the Partnership arising solely by reason of the application of Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code upon the sale or exchange of an interest in Partnership capital or profits, no actual distribution of Property shall be required. However, capital accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted and the provisions of this Agreement applied as though the Property of the Partnership had been distributed in liquidation in accordance with this Agreement and recontributed by the Partners; and the Partnership shall continue thereafter for the remaining balance of the original term of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
