Subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the Partnerships Net Income and Net Loss for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
Section 4.2 Regulatory Provisions.
(a) The General Partner may modify the allocations provided for in Section 4.1 as they deem appropriate to comply with Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall, prior to making any allocations required by Section 4.1, make any allocations required by the minimum gain chargeback provision of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(f), the chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain provision of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4) and the qualified income offset provision of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d); in addition, Partnership losses, deductions or expenditures described in Code section 705(a)(2)(B) attributable to a particular partner nonrecourse liability shall be allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the liability in accordance with Treasury Regulations §1.704-2(i).
- 12 -
(b) The General Partner may limit allocations of Net Losses to any Partner if such allocation would cause such Partners Capital Account balance, as increased for any deficit balance in its Capital Account which the Partner is required to restore or is deemed required to restore as a result of its share of the Partnerships minimum gain (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations §§ 1.704(2)(g)(1) and (3)) and its share of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations § 1.704(2)(i)(5)) and as decreased by the adjustments referred to in Treasury Regulations §§1.704l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6), to be negative while any other Partners Capital Account balance (as so adjusted) is positive. The General Partner may also make allocations reasonably designed to offset allocations provided for in this Section 4.2 to the extent such allocations shall not be offset by other allocations provided for in this Section 4.2. The General Partner may alter the Partnerships allocations of items entering into the computation of Net Income and Net Losses in the year in which the Partnership is liquidated to avoid any Partner recognizing gain or loss pursuant to Code section 731 on the liquidation of the Partnership.
(c) Solely for purposes of adjusting Capital Accounts (and not for tax purposes), if any property is distributed in kind, the difference between the fair market value of the property and its book value at the time of distribution shall be treated as gain or loss recognized by the Partnership and allocated pursuant to Section 4.1.
(d) Except to the extent otherwise required by the Code and Treasury Regulations, if an Interest or part thereof is transferred in any Fiscal Year, the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to the Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be apportioned between the transferor and the transferee in proportion to the number of days in such Fiscal Year the Interest is held by each of them, except that, if they agree between themselves and so notify the Partnership within 30 days after the transfer, then at their option and expense, (i) all items or (ii) extraordinary items, including capital gains and losses, may be allocated to the Person who held the Interest on the date such items were realized or incurred by the Partnership.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the General Partners allocation of Net Income and Net Loss, or its Percentage Interest, Capital Account, or any other item of the Partnership be increased above 9.9% of the Partnership or any of the Partnerships assets or items.
Section 4.3 Allocations for Income Tax Purposes. The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership for Federal, state and local income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the corresponding items entering into the computation of Net Income and Net Losses were allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 and 4.2, provided that solely for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and not for book or Capital Account purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property properly carried on the Partnerships books at a value other than its tax basis shall be allocated in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 704(c) and Treasury Regulations § 1.704-3.
Section 4.4 Withholding. The Partnership shall comply with withholding requirements under Federal, state and local law and shall remit amounts withheld to and file required forms with the applicable jurisdictions. To the extent the Partnership is required to
- 13 -
withhold and pay over any amounts to any authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Partner, the amount withheld shall be treated as a distribution in the amount of the withholding to that Partner. In the event of any claimed over-withholding, Partners shall be limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount withheld was not withheld from actual distributions, the Partnership may, at its option, (i) require the Partner to reimburse the Partnership for such withholding or (ii) reduce any subsequent distributions by the amount of such withholding. Each Partner agrees to furnish the Partnership with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Partnership to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations.
Section 4.5 Revaluation of Property.
(a) The assets of the Partnership shall be revalued on the books of the Partnership to equal their fair market values in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) at the following times: (A) the day immediately preceding the acquisition of an additional Interest in the Partnership by any existing or new Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution to the capital of the Partnership pursuant to Sections 3.2, 7.4 and 8.7; (B) on the day of any withdrawal of more than a de minimis portion of the Capital Account pursuant to Section 5.2 before taking into account such withdrawal; (C) the termination of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes, other than a termination pursuant to Code section 708(b)(1)(B); and (D) the occurrence of any other event upon which the General Partner believe such revaluation is appropriate. Upon revaluation of the Partnerships assets pursuant to this Section 4.5(a), (i) the fair market value of the assets shall be determined by the unanimous agreement of all Partners and (ii) each Partners Capital Account shall be adjusted as if such assets were sold for their fair market values and the Net Income and Net Losses recognized on such sale were allocated to the Partners in accordance with Section 4.1.
(b) Immediately following the occurrence of any event which has caused the revaluation of the assets of the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Partners Percentage Interest shall be adjusted to equal the percentage determined by dividing the balance in each Partners Capital Account immediately after such revaluation by the aggregate balance of all Partners Capital Accounts immediately after such revaluation.
(c) For purposes of Section 4.1, the Fiscal Year in which the assets of the Partnership are revalued pursuant to Section 4.5(a) shall be treated as two separate Fiscal Years, one beginning on the first day of the Fiscal Year and ending on the day of the revaluation and the other beginning on the day immediately following the revaluation and ending on the last day of the Fiscal Year, and Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated to the Partners separately for each portion of the Fiscal Year based on operations for such portion of the year as reflected by a closing of the Partnerships books. Analogous divisions of the Fiscal Year into multiple Fiscal Years will be made if there be more than one revaluation of assets in any Fiscal Year.

ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS AND WITHDRAWALS
Section 5.1 Distributions. Subject to Section 10.3, distributions of cash or property of the Partnership shall be made at such times and in such manner as shall be determined by the General Partner. Any such distribution shall be made to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests as of the day on which such distribution is made.
Section 5.2 Withdrawals of Capital Account Balance. Subject to Section 10.3, a Partner may withdraw all or any portion of its Capital Account balance at such time or times and in such manner as shall be approved by unanimous consent of all Partners, which consent may be granted or withheld in each Partners sole discretion. Any Partner withdrawing the entire balance of its Capital Account shall, upon the completion of such withdrawal, be deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.1.
ARTICLE VI
BOOKS OF ACCOUNT
Section 6.1 Books and Records. Proper and complete records and books of account shall be kept by the General Partner in accordance with the Act in which shall be entered fully and accurately all transactions and other matters relative to the Partnerships business as are usually entered into records and books of account maintained by Persons engaged in businesses of a like character, including a Capital Account for each Partner.

No Transfer of all or a portion of a Partners interest in accordance with Article IX shall constitute a withdrawal within the meaning of this Section 10.1.
Section 10.2 Dissolution of Partnership.

- 20 -
(i) | the sale of the Property; | ||
(ii) | the written consent of all Partners to dissolve the Partnership; | ||

(iv) | the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Partnership Law. |
(b) In the event of the dissolution of the Partnership for any reason, the General Partner or, if there are no General Partner, then a liquidating agent or committee appointed by the Limited Partner (the General Partner or such Person or committee so designated hereinafter referred to as the Liquidator), shall begin to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and to liquidate the Partnerships assets. The Partners shall continue to share all income, losses and distributions during the period of liquidation in accordance with Articles IV and V. The Liquidator shall have full right and unlimited discretion to determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Partnership property pursuant to such liquidation, giving due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions.
(c) The Liquidator shall have all of the rights and powers with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Partnership in connection with the liquidation and termination of the Partnership that the General Partner would have with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Partnership during the term of the Partnership, and the Liquidator is hereby expressly authorized and empowered to execute and file any and all documents (including a certificate of dissolution) necessary or desirable to effectuate the liquidation and termination of the Partnership and the transfer of any assets.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Liquidator which is not a General Partner shall not be deemed a Partner in this Partnership and shall not have any of the economic interests in the Partnership of a Partner; and such Liquidator shall be compensated for its services to the Partnership at normal, customary and competitive rates for its services to the Partnership as reasonably determined by all of the Limited Partners.
Section 10.3 Distribution in Liquidation. The Liquidator shall, as soon as practicable, wind up the affairs of the Partnership and sell and/or distribute the assets of the Partnership. The assets of the Partnership shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(a) First, to creditors of the Partnership (including Partners who are creditors to the extent permitted by law), in the order of priority provided by law.
(b) Second, to establish reserves reasonably adequate to meet any and all contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, provided that at the expiration of such period of time as the Liquidator may deem advisable, the balance of such reserves remaining after the payment of such contingencies or liabilities shall be distributed as hereinafter provided.
- 21 -
(c) Third, to the Partners in accordance with Section 5.1.
If the Liquidator, in its sole discretion, determines that assets other than cash are to be distributed, then the Liquidator shall cause the fair market value of the assets not so liquidated to be determined. Such assets shall be retained or distributed by the Liquidator as follows:
(i) | The Liquidator shall retain assets having an appraised value, net of any liability related thereto, equal to the amount by which the net proceeds of liquidated assets are insufficient to satisfy the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 10.3; and | ||
(ii) | The remaining assets shall be distributed to the Partners in the same proportion as cash would be distributed to the Partners pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.3. |
If the Liquidator, in its sole discretion, deems it not feasible or desirable to distribute to each Partner its allocable share of each asset, the Liquidator may allocate and distribute specific assets to one or more Partners, individually or as tenants-in-common, as the Liquidator shall in good faith determine to be fair and equitable, taking into consideration, inter alia, the fair market value of the assets, the liens, if any, to which such property may be subject and the tax consequences of the proposed distribution to each of the Partners (including both distributees and others if any). Any distributions in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management thereof as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable.

No Partner shall have any right to demand or receive property other than cash upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership.
Section 10.5 Deficit Restoration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon liquidation of a Partners Interest (whether or not in connection with a liquidation of the Partnership), no Partner shall have any liability to restore any deficit in its Capital Account. In addition, no allocation to any Partner of any loss, whether attributable to depreciation or otherwise, shall create any asset of or obligation to the Partnership, even if such allocation reduces a Partners Capital Account or creates or increases a deficit in such Partners Capital Account. it is also the intent of the Partners that no Partner shall be obligated to pay any such amount to or for the account of the Partnership or any creditor of the Partnership (however, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the Limited Partner is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner or of the Partnership). The obligations of the Partners to make contributions pursuant to Article III are for the exclusive benefit of the Partnership and not of any creditor of the Partnership; no such creditor is intended as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement nor shall any such creditor have any rights
- 22 -
hereunder, including without limitation the right to enforce any Capital Contribution obligation of the Partners.
Section 10.6 Termination. The Partnership shall terminate when all property owned by the Partnership shall have been disposed of and the assets shall have been distributed as provided in Section 10.3. The Liquidator shall then execute and cause to be filed a Certificate of Cancellation of the Partnership.
