(ii)                                  Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any taxable period of the Partnership, any Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such taxable period (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable periods of the Partnership) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) or any successor provision. This Section 6.1(d)(ii) is intended to comply with the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. The allocations in this portion of Section 6.1(d) are a Required Allocation for purposes of the allocation of Curative Allocations in Section 6.1(d).

 

(iii)                               Priority Allocations.

 

(A)                              First, if the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of any property distributed (except cash or property distributed pursuant to Section 12.4) to any Unitholder with respect to its Units during any taxable period of the Partnership is greater on a per Unit basis than the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of property distributed to the other Unitholders with respect to their Units on a per Unit basis in such taxable period, then (1) there shall be allocated income and gain to each Unitholder receiving such greater distribution until the amount so allocated for the current taxable period and all previous taxable periods pursuant to this clause (1A) is equal to (x) the amount by which the distribution on a per Unit basis to such Unitholder exceeds the distribution on a per Unit basis to the Unitholders receiving the smallest distribution multiplied by (y) the number of Units in respect of which such greater distribution was made; and (2) the General Partner shall be allocated income and gain in an aggregate amount equal to 2/98ths

 

12



 

of(aa) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the General Partner’s Percentage Interest at the time in which the greater cash or property distribution occurs by (y) 100 less the General Partner’s Percentage Interest at the time in which the greater cash or property distribution occurs multiplied by (bb) the sum of the amounts allocated in clause (1) above.
 
(B)                                Second, income and gain for the taxable period shall be allocated  (1) to the General Partner until the aggregate amount so allocated pursuant to this sentence for the current taxable period and all previous taxable periods is equal to the amount that has been distributed to the General Partner Interest that is in excess of 2/98ths of the amount that has been distributed to the holders of Units and (2) 100% to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights, Pro Rata, until the aggregate amount so allocated pursuant to this sentence for the current taxable period and all previous taxable periods is equal to the cumulative amount of all Incentive Distributions, in each case, from the Closing Date to a date 45 days after the end of the current taxable period; and (2) to the General Partner until the aggregate amount so allocated pursuant to this sentence for the current taxable period and all previous taxable periods is equal to the cumulative amount of all GP IDR-Related Distributions from the Closing Date to a date 45 days after the end of the current taxable period. Any partial allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iii)(B) shall be divided between the General Partner and the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights in proportion to their rights to the total distribution that could then be made.
 

(iv)                              Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of income and gain shall be allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustment, allocation or distribution as quickly as possible. The allocations in this portion of Section 6.1(d) are a Required Allocation for purposes of the allocation of Curative Allocations in Section 6.1(d).

 

(v)                                 Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any taxable period of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(v) shall be made only if and to

 

13



 

the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.1(d)(v) were not in this Agreement. The allocations in this portion of Section 6.1(d) are a Required Allocation for purposes of the allocation of Curative Allocations in Section 6.1(d).

 

(vi)                              Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for the taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the General Partner determines in good faith that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner may, upon notice to the other Partners, revise the prescribed ratio in order to satisfy such safe harbor requirements. The allocations in this portion of Section 6.1(d) are a Required Allocation for purposes of the allocation of Curative Allocations in Section 6.1(d).

 

(vii)                           Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for the taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the Partner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated among such Partners in accordance with the manner in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss. The allocations in this portion of Section 6.1(d) are a Required Allocation for purposes of the allocation of Curative Allocations in Section 6.1(d).

 

(viii)                        Nonrecourse Liabilities. The portion of the Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership that are allocable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests. The allocations of Nonrecourse Liabilities that may be made as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(2) are to be made as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion.

 

(ix)                                Economic Uniformity. At the election of the General Partner with respect to any taxable period of the Partnership ending upon, or after, the termination of the Subordination Period, all or a portion of the remaining items of income and gain for such taxable period shall be allocated 100% to Partners holding Subordinated Units that are Outstanding as of the termination of the Subordination Period (“Final Subordinated Units”) in proportion to the number of Final Subordinated Units held by such Partners, until each such Partner has been allocated the amount which increases the Capital Account of each Final Subordinated Unit to the Per Unit Capital Amount for a Common Unit.

 

(x)                                   Curative Allocations.

 

14



 

(A)                              Allocations are to be made pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(x)(A) so that the net amount of items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner pursuant to Section 6.1 (including allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(x)) is equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Partner under this Section 6.1 if the Required Allocations and this Section 6.1(d)(x)(A) had not been included in this Section 6.1; provided that Required Allocations relating to
 
(1)                                  Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account for purposes of this sentence except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain and
 
(2)                                  Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account for purposes of this sentence except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and shall then in either case be taken into account only to the extent the General Partner reasonably determines that such allocations are not likely to be offset by subsequent Required Allocations.
 
(B)                                The General Partner shall have reasonable discretion, with respect to each taxable period of the Partnership, to (1) apply the provisions of Section 6.1(d)(x)(A) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(x)(A) among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.
 

(xi)                                Corrective Allocations.

 

(A)                              Upon the occurrence of a Book-Down Event (the “Current Book-Down Event”) after one or more Book-Up Events has occurred, the General Partner shall determine for each Partner the difference (the “Net Effect for the Partner”) between
 
(1)                                  the amount that would be the balance of the Capital Account of such Partner pursuant to this Agreement after the Current Book-Down Event taking into account the provisions of this Agreement other than this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) as to the effect of the Current Book-Down Event and
 
(2)                                  the amount that would be the balance of the Capital Account of the Partner if the increases and decreases in Carrying Values that occurred in earlier Book-Up Events and Book-Down Events had been reduced or eliminated (doing so in inverse order) so that the Current Book-Down

 

15



 

Event would not have generated a change in the aggregate Carrying Value of the Partnership’s assets.
 

Thereafter, the items of income, gain, loss and deduction that the Partnership recognizes (whether in the Current Book-Down Event or otherwise) shall be allocated first among the Partners so that to the greatest extent possible the Net Effect for each Partner is eliminated, and the balance of such items shall then be allocated as otherwise provided in this Section 6.1.

 

(B)                                Any Net Termination Loss that is recognized and so characterized without regard to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(B), shall be allocated among the Partners so as to reverse first the allocations of any Net Termination Gain that was recognized in a prior taxable period to the extent thereof and to reverse second the effect of any Book-Up Event that has not theretofore been eliminated pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A). Any balance of the Net Termination Loss shall then be allocated as provided in Section 6.1(c)(ii).
 
(C)                                The purpose of this Section 6.1(d)(xi) is to prevent a Partner from being adversely affected by the occurrence of a Book-Up Event and its later reversal by a Book-Down Event or by a Net Termination Gain and its later reversal by a Net Termination Loss. Any application of this Section 6.1(d)(xi) that is made in good faith by the General Partner shall be conclusive.
 

The items of income, gain, loss and deduction that are included in an aggregate that is allocated pursuant to a provision of this Section 6.1(d) for a taxable period of the Partnership shall be allocated in the ratio that such aggregate was allocated.
