Except as may be otherwise required by Code /section/ 704(c), depreciation, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes with respect to Partnership property which has a book value greater or less than its adjusted tax basis, shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner that takes into account the variation between the adjusted tax basis and the book value of such property, in the same manner as variations between the adjusted tax basis and fair market value of property contributed to the Partnership are taken into account in determining the Partners' share of tax items under Code /section/ 704(c), as required by Treas. Reg. /section/1.704-l(b)(2) (iv)(f)(4) and Treas. Reg. /section/ 1.704-l(b)(4)(i).
