9.1 Allocations of Profit and Loss. Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IX, any Profits or Losses recognized by the Company in any Fiscal Year or other period must be allocated among Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

(a) Any “allocable cash basis item” of the Company (as defined in Section 706(d) of the Code) for any Fiscal Year that is required to be allocated to the Members in the manner provided in Section 706(d) of the Code must be allocated to the Members in the manner so required.

 

- 8 -


(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company or property revalued on the Company’s books and in the Capital Accounts will, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial book value under any method selected by the Board.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof, if the amount of Loss that would otherwise be allocated to a Member in any Fiscal Year would cause or increase a Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the last day of such fiscal year, then a proportionate part of such Loss equal to such excess will be allocated to the other Members to the extent such allocation can be made without violating the provisions of Section 9.2 with respect to such other Members. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.1, any Profit for any subsequent Fiscal Year that would have been allocated to a Member to which Loss would have been allocated but for the effect of the first sentence of this Section 9.2(c) will be allocated to the other Member to the extent of the aggregate amount of Loss allocated to such other Member pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9.2(c).

(d) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, if a Member unexpectedly receives in any Fiscal Year any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), and if a Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the last day of such fiscal year, then all items of income and gain of the Company (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income and gain) for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) will be allocated to the Member in the amount and in the manner necessary to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, if a Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the last day of any Fiscal Year, then all items of income and gain of the Company (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income and gain, including gross income) for such fiscal year will be allocated to such Member in the amount and in the manner necessary to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, any item of Company income or gain for any Fiscal Year (or any portion of any such item) that is required to be allocated to the Members under Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i)(4) will be allocated to the Members for such fiscal year in the manner so required by such Regulations, including Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(2).

(g) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, any item of Company loss, deduction or expenditure described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code for any Fiscal Year (or any portion of any such item) that is required to be allocated to the Members under Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(l) will be allocated to the Members for such fiscal year in the manner so required by such Regulation.

 

- 9 -


(h) Allocations set forth in subsections (c), through (g) of this Section 9.2 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX, the Regulatory Allocations will be taken into account in allocating Profits, Losses and items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction to the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits, Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member will be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(i) If one or more Unit(s) are transferred during any Fiscal Year of the Company, the Company income or loss attributable to such Unit(s) for such fiscal year will be allocated between the transferor and the transferee in any manner permitted by law as they will agree; provided, however, that if the Company does not receive on or before January 31 of the year following the year in which the transfer occurs a written notice stating the manner in which such parties have agreed to allocate such Company income or loss, then all such Company income or loss will be allocated between the parties based on the percentage of the year each party was, according to the books and records of the Company, the owner of record of the Company interest(s) transferred during that year.

9.3 General Rules.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction for federal and state income tax purposes, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for will be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for the year.

(b) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items will be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Board using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

9.4 Power of the Managing Board Member to Vary Allocations of Profits and Losses. It is the intent of the Members that each Member’s allocable share of Profits and Losses will be determined and allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code, or its statutory successor. However, if the Company is advised that the allocations provided in Section 9.1 will not be respected for federal income tax purposes, the allocation provisions of this Agreement will be amended, on advice of accountants or legal counsel, in the manner and to the extent in the best interest of the Members and consistent with the economic sharing of the Members, but in no event will such reallocation be greater than the minimum reallocation necessary so that the allocation in Section 9.1 will be respected for Federal income tax purposes.

9.5 Distributions. Subject to applicable law, and except as provided below relating to the dissolution of the Company, the Company will make distributions of Available Cash Flow to the Members, promptly after the end of each fiscal quarter; provided however that so long as the tenant is currently making payments of rent, additional rent, deposits, reserves and all other charges due and payable under the LRMC Lease in accordance with the terms thereof, such

 

- 10 -


distributions shall be made on a quarterly basis for the first six (6) months following the effective date of the LRMC Lease and thereafter on a monthly basis based on the Available Cash Flow calculated on a calendar month basis, rather than on a quarterly basis, promptly after the end of each calendar month. In any case, distributions from Available Cash Flow will be made in proportion to the Members’ Percentage Interests.

(a) If any Units are sold, assigned or transferred during any accounting period, all distributions on or before the date of such transfer will be made to the transferor, and all distributions after such date will be made to the transferee.

(b) All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any payment or distribution to Members will be treated as amounts distributed to Members pursuant to this Section 9.5 for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Upon the dissolution and winding up of the Company, subject to (a) the requirements of Article XV, (b) the payment of all liabilities of the Company, including any debts owed to a Member and (c) the establishment of such reserves as the Board reasonably determines pursuant to Section 10.9 for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations, the proceeds from such liquidation will be distributed, as expeditiously as possible, to the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances.

(d) If any assets of the Company are distributed in kind, such assets will be distributed to the Members entitled to such distribution as tenants-in-common in the same proportions as such Members would have been entitled to cash distributions.

(e) No distribution will be made to the Members if prohibited by the Act.

9.6 Tax Distributions. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, to the extent of any Available Cash Flow, the Company shall distribute to each Member (any such distribution, a “Tax Distribution”) an amount such that total distributions under Section 9.5 and this Section 9.6 to such Member with respect to the calendar year recently ended are at least equal to the assumed federal, state and local income tax liability (such liability, a “Tax Liability”) incurred by such Member with respect to such Member’s distributive share of the Company’s taxable net income for such taxable year. For purposes of the computation required by this Section 9.6, the taxable net income for a taxable year allocated to each Member shall be deemed to be reduced by any prior net loss allocated to such Member that was not previously taken into account under this sentence. In calculating the amount of each Tax Distribution, the Company shall assume that each Member is taxable at forty percent (40%) on all taxable income. Any Tax Distribution shall be treated as an advance on the Member’s rights to distributions under Sections 9.5, and shall reduce the amount of the first such distributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

9.7 ACH Note Repayment. In the event Additional Units are issued by the Company, any consideration received by the Company shall be distributed, to the existing Members based on their Percentage Interests or added to Reserves per Section 10.9. However, if the ACH Note is still outstanding, then the amount otherwise distributable to the Members pursuant to this Section 9.7 may, at the discretion of the Managing Board Member, instead be applied against the outstanding balance under the ACH Note.

 

- 11 -


9.8 ACH Duties Regarding the ACH Note.

(a) ACH agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to perform all of its obligations under the ACH Note and any of the other documents executed in connection with the ACH Note (collectively, the “Loan Documents”), and refrain from taking any action which would constitute a default under the ACH Note or other Loan Documents, including without limitation an Event of Default as defined in the Loan Agreement, it being agreed that an Event of Default arising as a result of acts or omissions of LRMC is not the responsibility of ACH. The Members acknowledge that ACH will not be in violation of this Section 9.8(a) or held liable for damages for failing to take any action which requires unanimous Board approval under Section 10.9 of this Agreement, if ACH is prevented from taking such action due to the failure of the MedTX Manager on the Board to approve any action.

(b) ACH agrees not to accelerate that maturity of the ACH Note or otherwise exercise any rights with respect to any default under the Loan Documents (including without limitation an Event of Default as defined in the Loan Agreement), to the extent that such acceleration or default results from a violation of Section 9.8(a) above.

ARTICLE X

MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

10.1 Management by the Board. The business and affairs of the Company will be managed by a Board. Except with respect to matters where the approval of the Members is expressly required pursuant to this Agreement, or by nonwaivable provisions of the Act, the Board has, to the full extent permitted by the Act, sole, exclusive, full and complete authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business, affairs and properties of the Company, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of the Company’s business.

10.2 Number, Tenure and Qualifications. The Board will be composed of two (2) Managers, appointed as follows: one (1) Manager will be appointed by ACH and one (1) Manager will be appointed by MedTX. The initial Managers designated by ACH and MedTX are set forth on the attached Exhibit A. Managers serve at the pleasure of the respective Member who designated such Manager and may be removed and replaced with or without cause by such respective Member. A Manager holds office until the Manager resigns, dies, becomes permanently disabled or is removed.

10.3 Quorum and Voting of Managers. Meetings of the Board may be called by any Manager at such times and at such places as the Managers determine. Meetings may be held by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Notice of the time and place of the meeting and the matters to be voted upon during the meeting must be given in accordance with Section 19.1 at least five (5) business days prior to the meeting. Each Manager has that number of votes equal to the then number of Units held by the Member who designated such Manager. This means that initially the Manager selected by ACH will control fifty-one (51) votes and the

 

- 12 -


Manager selected by MedTX will control forty-nine (49) votes. The presence of Managers representing sixty-six percent (66%) of the total votes that both of the Managers are entitled to cast constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board, and the affirmative vote of sixty-six percent (66%) of the votes present and voting at the meeting will decide any matter arising in connection with the business and affairs of the Company, except as expressly provided otherwise by this Agreement. The requirement of a quorum shall be waived if a Manager fails to attend (either in person or by telephone or similar communications equipment) any two consecutively duly called meetings; provided, however, that such consecutive meetings must be at least seven (7) days apart and each Manager must be afforded the opportunity to attend each such meeting by telephone or similar communications equipment.

10.4 Waiver of Notice. A Manager may waive any notice required by the Act, the Certificate or this Agreement before or after the date and time of the meeting or event for which notice is required or before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver must be in writing, be signed by the Manager entitled to the notice and be delivered to the Company for inclusion in its records. A Manager’s attendance at a meeting waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the Manager at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting.

10.5 Action by the Board Without a Meeting. Action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken in accordance with this Section 10.5. The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by all of the Managers and delivered to the Company for inclusion in its records. Action taken under this Section 10.5 is effective when the last Manager to sign has signed the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. Notice will be given to all Members of any material actions taken under this Section 10.5.

10.6 Management Authority and Obligations.

(a) Subject to the restrictions in Section 10.9, the Managing Board Member is granted the right, power, authority and responsibility by the Board and the Agreement to do in the name of, and on behalf of, the Company all things that, in the Managing Board Member’s judgment, are necessary, proper or desirable to carry out the purposes of the Company, including, but not limited to:

(i) Acquire, hold, manage, lease, sell, exchange, grant options for the purchase or sale, and otherwise dispose of the assets of the Company at such price or amount, for cash, securities or other property and upon such terms as the Managing Board Member deems to be in the best interest of the Company;

(ii) Borrow money and, if security is required therefor, to subject to any security device any portion of the assets of the Company, to obtain replacements of any security device, and to refinance, recast, increase, renew, modify, consolidate, or extend any borrowing or security device;

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

A Member may appoint a proxy by executing a writing which authorizes another Person or Persons to vote or otherwise act on the Member’s behalf.

No appointment of proxy is valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the appointment writing.
