(i) Offset of Excess Income. First, between the Members in the

------------------
(vii) Excess Loss. Seventh, between the Members in proportion to

termination of the Company, the Managing Member shall allocate items of income,
gain, loss and deductions between the Members in such a manner as, to the
maximum extent possible, will result in each Member having a zero balance in its
capital account upon termination.
4.3 Allocations Generally. Except as otherwise required by Section 4.6,
--------------------- -----------
all items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction as determined for federal
income tax purposes for each Company taxable year shall be allocated in the same
manner as the related profits or losses for such taxable year are allocated
pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof in accordance with Code Section 704(b). Pursuant
-----------
to Code Section 704(c), income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to
property contributed to the Company by a Member, or the book value of which is
adjusted for Capital Account maintenance purposes, shall be allocated among the
Members, in a manner consistent with the allocation among the Members of the
book items attributable to such property, so as to take account of the variation
between the basis of the property to the Company and its book value.
4.4 Distributions.
-------------
(a) Subject to Section 4.6, Distributable Cash, if any, shall be
-----------
distributed to the Members quarterly in arrears. The amount of NACC Loan
Interest to be paid for
11
each quarter shall be paid only out of Distributable Cash and shall be
calculated for such quarter as a percentage of the weighted average NACC Loan
Principal outstanding during such quarter, which percentage shall be the
equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Preferred
Return paid to XXX for such quarter and the denominator of which is the weighted
average of PAT's Preferred Capital Amount outstanding during such quarter. In
other words, NACC Loan Interest paid shall be the same percentage of the
weighted average NACC Loan Principal outstanding as the percentage of the
weighted average of PAT's Preferred Capital Amount outstanding that is
represented by the Preferred Return paid to XXX.
(b) With respect to distributions attributable to the Acquisition
Period, Distributable Cash, if any, up to the amount of Net Income attributable
to the period in respect to which the distribution is being made, that remains
after payment of NACC Loan Interest for such period shall be distributed as
follows:
(i) First, to G&L in an amount equal to up to the greater of (A)
its unpaid Preferred Return through the end of such period or (B) 33% of the Net
Income for such period allocated to G&L under Sections 4.2(b)(vi) and (vii); and
-----------------------------
(ii) Second, to XXX in an amount equal to up to the greater of (A)
its unpaid Preferred Return through the end of such period or (B) 300% of the
amount distributed to G&L under Section 4.4(b)(i).
-----------------
(c) With respect to distributions attributable to periods after the
Acquisition Period, Distributable Cash, if any, shall be distributed as follows:
(i) First, to G&L in an amount equal to up to 33% of the Net
Income for such period allocated to G&L under Sections 4.2(b)(vi) and (vii);
-----------------------------
(ii) Second, to XXX and NACC, as the case may be, in an amount
equal to up to the sum of its unpaid Preferred Return plus unpaid NACC Loan
Interest (1/3 of which payment will be deemed Preferred Return and 2/3 as NACC
Loan Interest);
(iii) Third, to XXX and NACC, as the case may be, in an amount
equal to up to the sum of its Preferred Capital Amount plus the NACC Loan

and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments,
allocations or distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5)
and (6) of the Regulations, items of income and gain shall be specially
allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the
extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such
Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 4.6(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would
--------------
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations
13
provided for in this Article IV have been tentatively made as if this Section

------
(d) In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit
at the end of any Fiscal Year, each such Member shall be specially allocated

attributable.

taxable income or loss of the Company, depreciation, depletions, amortization
and gain or loss with respect to any contributed property, or with respect to
revalued property where the Company's property is revalued pursuant to paragraph

Members in the manner (as to revaluation, in the same manner as) provided in
Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) or (c), as
determined by the Managing Member. The allocation shall take into account, to
the full extent required or permitted by the Code, the difference between the
adjusted basis of the property to the Member contributing it (or, with respect
to property which has been revalued, the adjusted basis of the property to the
Company) and the fair market value of the property determined by the Managing
Member at the time of its contribution or revaluation, as the case may be.

judgment, negligence or other fault in connection with the business or affairs
of the Company, so long as such officer, director, employee, Affiliate,

accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses, and damages incurred by the Tax
Matters Partner in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding

not to make a Loan, any Member voting to make the Loan may make the Loan for its
own account on such terms and conditions as it elects.

such budget, such budget shall be deemed to be the "Approved Annual Operating
Budget" hereunder. Each such Annual Operating Budget approved by XXX in
accordance with terms hereof shall hereinafter be referred to as an "Approved

Sell Valuation. The purchase and sale of Membership Interest resulting from the
foregoing shall occur, and payment of the purchase price for such Interest(s)
shall be made, on or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the earlier of the
date of delivery of the Acceptance Notice to the Offeror and the expiration of
the Acceptance Period. The purchase price for the Membership Interest shall be
the total amount (not less than zero) that would be distributed to the Selling
Member if the Company sold its assets for the Buy-Sell Valuation in an all cash
transaction (net of capital contribution required of the Selling Member but not
yet funded) and net of expenses of sale. "Major Deadlock" means (a) failure of
the Members to agree on any of the items set forth in Section 5.4, (b) the
-----------
failure of G&L to agree to the transfer of PAT's Membership Interest pursuant to
Section 6.4, (c) the
-----------
25
removal of the Managing Member, or (d) the inability or refusal of one of the
Members to make a Capital Contribution when required.
9.2 Deadlock on Sale of an Asset. If a Member (the "Proposing Member")
----------------------------
desires to sell any Loan or Facility (the "Sale Property"), the Member shall
give written notice (the "Sale Notice") thereof to the other Member (the "Other
Member"). The Other Member shall communicate its decision whether or not it
consents to the sale of the Sale Property within ten (10) business days of its
receipt of the Sale Notice. If the Other Member fails to communicate its
decision within such period, the Member shall be deemed to have agreed to sell
the Sale Property. If the Other Member elects not to sell the Sale Property, it
shall give written notice (the "Rejection Notice") thereof to the Proposing
Member, which notice shall specify the dollar amount for the Sale Property to be
used as the basis of the purchase price (the "Sale Property Purchase Price") at
which the Other Member will either (i) buy the Sale Property or (ii) consent to
the sale of the Sale Property to the Proposing Member or its designee. Only one
Sale Property Purchase Price shall be identified in the Rejection Notice and the
Sale Property Purchase Price need not be the fair market value of the Sale
Property. The Proposing Member may accept either (x) the offer to sell or (y)
the offer to buy, in either case by delivering written notice (the "Sale
Property Acceptance Notice") to the Other Member, within sixty (60) days (the
"Sale Property Acceptance Period") after receipt of the Rejection Notice,
indicating that the Proposing Member accepts such offer either to buy or to
sell. If the Proposing Member does not so accept within the Sale Property
Acceptance Period, then the Proposing Member shall be deemed, without need of
any further action by any party, to accept the offer to sell the Sale Property
to the Other Member, and have the Other Member purchase the Sale Property from
the Company at the Sale Property Purchase Price. The purchase and sale of the
Sale Property resulting from the foregoing shall occur, and payment of the
purchase price for the Sale Property shall be made, on or before the sixtieth
(6Oth) day after the earlier of the date of the delivery of the Sale Property
Acceptance Notice to the Other Member and the expiration of the Sale Property
Acceptance Period. The purchasing Member shall pay the Purchase Price to the
Company and the proceeds thereof shall be distributed, reserved or paid to third
parties in the same manner as if the Company sold the Property to a third party.
