SECTION 8.2 The Net profits and Net Losses of the Company and each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit entering into the computation thereof shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportions that they share in distributions of Cash Flow pursuant to Section 7.1, or if there is no Cash Flow, that they would have shared if there had been Cash Flow.
SECTION 8.3 References herein to "Reg. Sec." are to the regulations promulgated by the United States Treasurer to the Code.

Sec.1.704-2(g). Allocations in accordance with this Section shall be made first from the disposition of Company assets subject to non-recourse liabilities, to the extent of the minimum gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter from a pro-rata portion of the Company's other items of income and gain for the taxable year. This Section is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Reg. Sec. 1.704-2(f). |
B. | Except as otherwise set forth in Reg. Sec. 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in a Member's non-recourse liability minimum gain attributable to Members' non recourse liabilities during any fiscal year, each Member who has a share of the Member non-recourse liability minimum gain |

attributable to Member non recourse liability shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member’s; non-recourse debt minimum gain attributable to such Member non-recourse debt. Allocations pursuant to this Section shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to Member non-recourse liabilities to the extent of Member minimum gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter, from a pro-rata portion of the Company’s other items of income and gain for the fiscal year. This section is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Reg. Sec. 1.704-2(i).
C. | A Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in (4), (5) or (6) of Reg. Sec. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) will be allocated items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit balance as quickly as possible.
