Allocations of gross income and gain under this section 5.3(a) shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to Non-recourse Liabilities, to the extent of the Minimum Gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter, from a pro-rata portion of the Company’s other items of income and gain for the Fiscal Year.

(b)          Interest Holder Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if, there is a net decrease in Interest Holder Minimum Gain attributable to an Interest Holder Non-recourse Liability during any Company Fiscal Year, each Interest Holder who has a share of the Interest Holder Minimum Gain attributable to such Interest Holder Non-recourse Liability shall be specially allocated items of gross income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Interest Holder’s share of the net decrease in the Interest Holder Minimum Gain. This allocation shall be made after the allocation under section 5.3(a), and prior to any other allocation under this section 5.3. Allocations of gross income and gain under this section 5.3(b) shall be made first from gain recognized from the disposition of Company assets subject to Interest Holder Non-recourse Liabilities to the extent of Interest Holder Minimum Gain attributable to those assets, and thereafter, from a pro-rata portion of the Company’s other items of income and gain for the Fiscal Year. It is the intent of the parties that any allocation under this section 5.3(b) shall constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” under Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).
 
(c)          Qualified Income Offset. If any Interest Holder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of gross income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Interest Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Interest Holder as quickly as possible. An allocation under this section 5.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Interest Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for under this section 5.3 have been tentatively made as if this section 5.3(c) were not in the Agreement.
 
(d)          Non-recourse Deductions. Non-recourse Deductions for a Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated among the Interest Holders in accordance with their Percentages.
 
(e)          Interest Holder Non-recourse Deductions.

(f)           Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the tax basis of any Company asset under Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases basis), and the gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Interest Holders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted under that Section of the Regulations.

(g)          Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Interest Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Interest Holder is obligated to restore and (ii) the amount such Interest Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Interest Holder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this section 5.3(g) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Interest Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this section 5 have been made as if section 5.3(c) and this section 5.3(g) were not in this Agreement.
 
5.4          Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in section 5.3 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. 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 the Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this section 5.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this section 5 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Management Committee shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Interest Holder’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Interest Holder would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to sections 5.1 and 5.2.
 
5.5          Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).
 
(a)          In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Interest Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Gross Asset Value) as determined by the Management Committee using any permissible method under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.
 
(b)          In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.
 
(c)          Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Management Committee in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this section 5.5 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Interest Holder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(e)          Solely for purposes of determining an Interest Holder’s proportionate share of the “excess non-recourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Interest Holders’ Interests in Company profits are in proportion to their Percentages.
 
(f)           To the extent permitted by Regulation Section 1.704-2(h)(3), the Management Committee shall endeavor to treat distributions to Interest Holders as having been made from the proceeds of a Non-recourse Liability or a Member Non-recourse Liability only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for any Interest Holder.

(g)          Except for arrangements expressly described in this Agreement, no Interest Holder shall enter into (or permit any Person related to the Interest Holder to enter into) any arrangement with respect to any liability of the Company that would result in such Interest Holder, or a person related to such Interest Holder under Regulation Section 1.752-4(b), bearing the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.752-2) with respect to such liability unless such arrangement has been approved by all of the Members.

The total amount required to be distributed hereunder shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) forty percent (40%) of the taxable income of the Company over (ii) the amount of tax credits, including, without limitation, foreign tax credits, to which the Company is entitled and which may be allocated and passed through to the Interest Holders. The Company shall make the distributions required in this section 5.7(a) in a timely manner to allow the tax (including, without limitation, estimated tax payments) attributable to the income passed through to any Interest Holder to be paid when due.
 
(b)          In addition to the distributions required pursuant to section 5.7(a), Cash Flow and Net Capital Proceeds of the Company may be distributed at such time or times as determined in the discretion of the Management Committee to the Interest Holders in accordance with their Percentages.
 
(c)          All amounts required to be withheld under Code Section 1446 or any other provision of federal, state, or local law shall be treated as amounts actually distributed to the affected Interest Holders for all purposes under this Agreement.

(b)          Prior to making any transfer that is subject to the terms of this section 7.6, the Offeror shall give to the Company and each other Member written notice (the “Offer Notice”) which shall include a copy of the Purchase Offer and an offer (the “Firm Offer”) to sell the Offered Interest to the other Members (the “Offerees”) for the Offer Price, payable according to the same terms as (or more favorable terms than) those contained in the Purchase Offer, provided that the Firm Offer shall be made without regard to the requirement of any earnest money or similar deposit required of the Purchaser prior to closing, and without regard to any security (other than the Offered Interest) to be provided by the Purchaser for any deferred portion of the Offer Price.
 
(c)          The Firm Offer shall be irrevocable for a period (the “Offer Period”) ending at 11:59 P.M., local time at the Company’s principal place of business, on the thirtieth day following the day of the Offer Notice.
 
(d)          At any time during the first twenty-five (25) days of the Offer Period, any Offeree may accept the Firm Offer as to all or any portion of the Offered Interest, by giving written notice of such acceptance to the Offeror and each other Offeree and the Company, which notice shall indicate the maximum Offered Interest that such Offeree is willing to purchase. In the event that Offerees (“Accepting Offerees”), in the aggregate, accept the Firm Offer with respect to all of the Offered Interest, the Firm Offer shall be deemed to be accepted and each Accepting Offeree shall be deemed to have accepted the Firm Offer as to that portion of the Offered Interest that corresponds to the ratio of the percentage of the Offered Interest that such Accepting Offeree indicated a willingness to purchase to the aggregate percentages of the Offered Interest that all Accepting Offerees indicated a willingness to purchase. If Offerees do not accept the Firm Offer as to all of the Offered Interest during the first twenty-five (25) days of the Offer Period, then the Company shall have the option to purchase such remaining Offered Interest by giving written notice of such acceptance to all of the Accepting Offerees and the Offeror during the Offer Period.

(f)           If the Firm Offer is not accepted in the manner hereinabove provided, the Offeror may sell the Offered Interest to the Purchaser at any time within sixty (60) days after the last day of the Offer Period, provided that such sale shall be made on terms no more favorable to the Purchaser than the terms contained in the Purchase Offer and provided further that such sale complies with other terms, conditions, and restrictions of this Agreement that are not expressly made inapplicable to sales occurring under this section 7.6.

(g)          All sales pursuant to a Purchase Offer shall be made in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the remaining Members can require the Offeror to furnish to the remaining Members, at the Offeror’s expense, an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable as to the form, substance and issuer thereof, that such sale is exempt from applicable federal and state securities registration requirements. All Shares sold pursuant to this section 7.6 to a proposed Purchaser shall, except to the extent otherwise provided, continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(h)          In the event that the Firm Offer is accepted but an Accepting Offeree and/or the Company breaches its obligation to purchase the Offered Interest pursuant to the terms of the Firm Offer and this section 7.6, the Offeror shall notify in writing (the “Default Notice”) each other Accepting Offeree and/or the Company who accepted the Firm Offer, if any, and each other Accepting Offeree and/or the Company shall have the right to purchase the portion of the Offered Interest not purchased by reason of the default in the same proportions as they agreed to purchase the remainder of the Offered Interest by giving written notice of such acceptance to the Offeror within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Default Notice, in which event a closing shall take place in accordance with section 7.6(e). If such other Accepting Offerees and the Company do not exercise their right to purchase such portion of the Offered Interest as provided in this section 7.6(h), then the Firm Offer shall be deemed to be rejected and the Offeror may sell the Offered Interest as provided in section 7.6(f). In the event that the Firm Offer is accepted but an Accepting Offeree and/or the Company breaches its obligation to purchase the Offered Interest pursuant to the terms of the Firm Offer and this section 7.6, then such Accepting Offeree and/or the Company shall have no right to purchase the Offered Interest under this Section 7.6; provided that if the Offered Interest is not sold to an Accepting Offeree and/or the Company or to the Purchaser within six (6) months from the date of the Firm Offer, then such Accepting Offeree and/or the Company shall retain its right to purchase an Offered Interest pursuant to this section 7.6.
