(i)          Company Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
 
(ii)         Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to the Member (or Members) that bear the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(i)(l).
 
(iii)        Except as provided in Section 7.2(b)(iv), Losses shall be allocated to each Member in proportion to such Member’s Percentage Interest.
 
(iv)        The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(iii) hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Member to have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance at the end of any Fiscal Year.
 
 
In the event some but not all of the Members would have deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balances as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii) hereof, the limitation set forth in this Section 7.2(b)(iv) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Member under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). All Losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this Section 7.2(b)(iv) shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to such Member’s Percentage Interest.

(c)          Curative Allocations. The Regulatory Allocations are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b). It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 7.2(c). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.2 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Members shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner they determine appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all items of Company items of income, gain, loss or deduction were allocated pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(iv) and 7.2(b)(iii). In exercising their discretion under this Section 7.2(c), the Members shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 7.2(a)(i) and 7,2(a)(ii) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 7.2(b)(i) and 7.2(b)(ii). This Section 7.2(c) is intended to minimize to the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions which may result from application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
 
7.3         Tax Allocations, All items of income, gain, loss, and deduction, and all tax preferences, depreciation, accelerated cost recovery system deductions and investment interest and other tax items of the Company for each Fiscal Year (collectively referred to as “Company Tax Items”) shall be allocated for tax purposes to the Members in accordance with this Section 7.3.
 
(a)          Except as provided in Sections 7.3(b) and 7.3(c), Company Tax Items shall be allocated for tax purposes in accordance with the allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction, Company Nonrecourse Deductions, Member Nonrecourse Deductions, Profits, and Losses under Section 7.2. For purposes of the preceding sentence, an allocation to a Member of a share of Profits or Losses shall be treated as an allocation to such Member of the same share of each Company Tax Item that is taken into account in computing such Profits or Losses.
 
(b)          Gain or loss upon sale or other disposition of any Property contributed to the Company or any depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to the basis of Property contributed to the Company shall be allocated for tax purposes among the contributing and non-contributing Members so as to take into account the difference between the adjusted tax basis and the Agreed Value of the Property on the date of its contribution to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.704-3 or such superseding regulations as may be promulgated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code. In making allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Members may apply any method or convention required or permitted by Section 704(c) of the Code.
 

Page 14

(c)          Except as provided in Section 7.3(b), if there has been an adjustment to the Members’ Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 4.3(e) to reflect the unrealized income, gain, loss, or deduction inherent in Company Property, Company Tax Items with respect to such Property shall be allocated to the Members for tax purposes so as to take into account the difference between the adjusted tax basis of such Property and the value at which it is reflected in the Members’ Capital Accounts in the same manner as variations between the adjusted tax basis and fair market value of Property contributed to the Company are taken into account in determining the Members’ allocations of Company Tax Items under Section 7.3(b). The allocations under this Section 7.3(c) are intended to comply with paragraphs (b)(2)(iv)(f)(4) and (b)(4)(i) of Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1 and shall be interpreted consistently with such regulation to effectuate such intent.
 
(d)         To the extent consistent with the intent of the parties to this Agreement, accounting matters relating to allocations of Profits and Losses, Capital Accounts, and allocations of items of federal income tax significance shall be handled in such a way that the allocations of items of federal income tax significance will have substantial economic effect or will otherwise be respected for federal income tax purposes.
 
7.4         Other Items. All other items that must be allocated to the Members shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the allocation of Profits and Losses as provided in Section 7.2 of this Agreement.
 
7.5         Allocation Savings Provision. The allocation method set forth in this Section 7 is intended to allocate Profits and Losses to the Members for federal income tax purposes in accordance with their economic interests in the Company while complying with the requirements of Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If in the opinion of the Members, the allocation of Profits or Losses pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 shall not (1) satisfy the requirements of Code Section 704(b) or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (2) comply with any other provisions of the Code or Treasury Regulations or (3) properly take into account any expenditure made by the Company or transfer of a Company Interest, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding provisions of this Section 7, Profits and Losses shall be allocated in such manner as the Members in their sole and unrestricted discretion determine to be required so as to reflect properly (I), (2) or (3), as the case may be; provided, however, that any change in the method of allocating Profits or Losses shall not materially alter the economic agreement between the Members.
 
7.6         Members’ Varying Interests. In the event of any changes in any Member’s Company Interest during the Fiscal Year, then for purposes of this Section 7, the Members shall take into account the requirements of Code Section 706(d) and shall have the right to select any method of determining the varying interests of the Members during the Fiscal Year which satisfies Code Section 706(d). See Section 8.5 for additional rules relating to distributions and allocations in respect to Transferred Company Interests.
