Allocations.
 
(a)  Profits and Losses. Profits and losses (“Profits and Loss”) allocated under this Section 3.4 shall be the Partnership’s taxable income or loss determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss, or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:
 
(i)  Any income of the Partnership that is exempt from Federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Loss pursuant to this definition of “Profits” and “Loss” shall be added to such taxable income or loss;
 
(ii)  Any expenditures of the Partnership described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.704 1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Loss pursuant to this definition of “Profits” and “Loss” shall be subtracted from such taxable income or loss;
 
(iii)  In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraphs (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Profits and Loss;
 
(iv)  Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for Federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Gross Asset Value;
 
(v)  In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation;
 

 
(vi)  To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution other than in complete liquidation of a Partner’s interest, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the asset) from the disposition of the asset and shall be taken into account for purposes of computing Profits and Loss; and
 
(vii)  All items of Profit or Loss which are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 3.4(b), 3.4(c) and 3.4(d) shall also be determined by reference to the foregoing principles.
 
(b)  Allocations. As of the end of each Fiscal Year and after giving effect to the allocations set forth in Sections 3.4(c) and 3.4(d) hereof, Profits and/or Losses shall be allocated to and among the Partners in accordance with their then Percentage Interests.
 
(c)  Regulatory Allocations. The following allocations shall, except as otherwise provided, be made prior to allocations in Section 3.4(b) in the following order:
 
(i)  Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.4, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain or in any Partner Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year or other period, prior to any other allocation pursuant hereto, each Partner shall be specifically allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount and manner required by Treas. Reg. §§ 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(j)(2).
 
(ii)  Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treas. Regs., the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.4(c)(ii) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Section 3.4 have been tentatively made as if this Section 3.4(c)(ii) were not in this Agreement.
 
(iii)  Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions. Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
 
(iv)  Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(i)(1).
 




 
(d)  Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 3.4(c)(i) to (iv) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treas. Regs. It is the intent of the Partners 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 3.4(c). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of Section 3.4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Partnership shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate (taking into consideration the character of the Profits and Loss and any item thereof that were originally allocated pursuant to Section 3.4(b)) so that, after such offsetting allocations are made (and after taking into account offsetting Regulatory Allocations expected to be made), each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 3.4(b) hereof.
 

(e)  Other Allocation Rules.
 
For purposes of determining items allocable to any period, any such items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Partnership using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treas. Regs. thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Fiscal Year during which any Partner’s Percentage Interest changes, whether by reason of the admission of a Partner, a contribution to or distribution by the Partnership or any other event described in Code Section 706(d)(1) and the Treas. Regs. thereunder, any items thereof shall be allocated appropriately to take into consideration the varying interests of the Partners during such Fiscal Year.
 
3.5  
Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).
 
(a)  Income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership or revalued pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), shall, solely for U.S. tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes and its initial or reset Gross Asset Value in accordance with the principles of Code Section 704(c) and the Treas. Regs. thereunder and Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) using any reasonable method required or permitted thereunder and selected by the General Partner in its sole discretion.
 
(b)  Subject to Section 3.5(a), if any gain (as computed for tax purposes) on the sale or other disposition of Partnership property shall constitute recapture of depreciation under Section 291, 1245 or 1250 of the Code or any similar provision, such gain shall (to the extent possible) be divided among the Partners in accordance with the principles of Treas. Reg. § 1.1245-1(e)(2) (i.e., generally in proportion to the depreciation deductions previously claimed by them giving rise to such recapture), provided that this Section 3.5(b) shall not affect the amount of gain otherwise allocable to a Partner.
 

 



 
(c)  Allocations pursuant to this Section 3.5 are solely for purposes of U.S. Federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits or Loss or any amount distributable to any Partner hereunder.
 
3.6  
Distributions.
 
(a)  Except as set forth in Section 3.6(c) below, distributions shall be made at such time or times as the General Partner determines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cash dividends paid on the Shares shall be reinvested under UBP’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan in accordance with and to the extent permitted by such plan.
 
(b)  Distributions shall be made to each Partner in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
 
(c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to assure that distributions to each Partner under Section 3.6(b) for each Fiscal Year are at least equal to the taxable income allocated to such Partner times the Tax Rate (“Tax Distributions”) and that such Tax Distributions be made to the Partners on a quarterly basis no later than ten (10) days prior to the due dates for estimated tax payments of calendar year taxpayers.

(iii)  the Partners shall next be paid amounts in accordance with their then Percentage Interests.
 
(b)  Anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the General Partner or liquidator may distribute in-kind rather than in cash, upon dissolution, any assets of the Partnership; provided, however, that if any in-kind distribution is to be made, (i) the assets distributed in kind shall be valued as of the actual date of their distribution, and charged as so valued and distributed against amounts to be paid under Section 6.1(a) above, and (ii) any gain or loss (as computed for book purposes) attributable to property distributed in-kind shall constitute Profit or Loss or items specially allocable to a Partner pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof for the Fiscal Year including the date of such distribution.
 
(c)  In determining the value of the assets of the Partnership upon a liquidation pursuant this Section 6.1, no value shall be placed on the goodwill or name of the Partnership, or the office records, files, statistical data or any similar intangible assets of the Partnership.
 
6.2  
Expenses of Liquidator(s).
 
(a)  The expenses incurred by the liquidator(s) in connection with winding up the Partnership, all other losses or liabilities of the Partnership incurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and reasonable compensation for the services of the liquidator(s) shall be borne by the Partnership.

ACCOUNTING;
 
BOOKS AND RECORDS
 
7.1  
Accounting and Reports.
 
(a)  The Partnership shall adopt for tax accounting purposes the cash basis accounting method unless the General Partner shall decide in its sole discretion that it is in the best interests of the Partnership to adopt another method permissible for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
 
(b)  As soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the General Partner shall furnish to each Limited Partner such information as may be required to enable each Limited Partner properly to report for Federal and state income tax purposes his distributive share of each Partnership item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for such year.

(b)  If the Partnership is required to withhold and pay over Federal income tax or estimated tax with respect to income or gain allocable to any Partner, the General Partner shall withhold and pay over such amounts as are required. Such withholdings shall be treated as distributions to the Partners on whose behalf they are made. To the extent that a Partner’s allocable share of otherwise distributable cash under Section 3.6(b) is not sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation with respect to such Partner, the General Partner shall require such Partner promptly to advance the amount of such deficiency to the Partnership for withholding. Such advance shall not affect the advancing Partner’s ownership interest in the Partnership, and the payment by the Partnership of the advanced amount to the appropriate taxing authority shall not affect the amount of cash distributions to which the advancing Partner would otherwise be entitled. If a Partner fails to advance any amount required hereunder, the General Partner shall have the right to borrow on behalf of such Partner the amount of the required withholding, to withhold all distributions from the defaulting Partner until the amount of such borrowing, interest and expenses shall have been reimbursed, and to take whatever additional steps are necessary to preserve the financial integrity of the Partnership and to prevent the imposition of any liability on the Partnership or the General Partner for failure to comply with any requirement associated with its obligations to withhold.
 
(c)  The General Partner may require the Partners to execute such certifications, consents or other documents as are required to comply with its tax reporting and withholding obligations.
