(f) Gross Income Allocation. In the event a Member has a deficit Capital Account balance at the end of any Fiscal Year (or other applicable period) that is in excess of (i) the amount, if any, such Member, in the manner and to the extent provided in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c), is unconditionally obligated to contribute to the Company pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or applicable law; and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, such Member 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 2.2(f) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have such an excess deficit Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Article II tentatively have been made as if this Section 2.2(f) and Section 2.2(g) were not in this Agreement.

In the event a Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a consequence of an allocation of Net Losses pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement (excluding any such allocations made pursuant to this Schedule B other than Section 2.5), Net Losses shall be allocated to the other Members until such allocations would cause all such other Members to each have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit; thereafter, allocations of Net Losses shall be allocated among the Members in the same ratios that Net Losses would be allocated among the Members for such Fiscal Year.
13.3 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 2.2 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended, but only to the extent necessary, to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is intended that, to the extent possible, the application and effect of all Regulatory Allocations shall be minimized and offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 2.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of Article VI of this Agreement (including this Article II of this Schedule B (other than the Regulatory Allocations)), the Members shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction or items thereof in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement (excluding any such allocations made pursuant to this Schedule B other than Section 2.5). In exercising its discretion under this Section 2.3, the Members shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d) of this Schedule B that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) of this Schedule B.

13.4 Section 704(c) Allocations.
(a) Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Code section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, any income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to any Capital Contribution of property by a Member shall, solely for income purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to account for any variation at the time of contribution between the adjusted federal income tax basis of such property to the Company and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with Section 1.5(a) of this Schedule B) (such allocations shall be referred to herein as “704(c) allocations”).
(b) Reverse 704(c) Allocations. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any of the Company’s assets is adjusted on the books of the Company pursuant to Section 1.5(b) of this Schedule B, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such property shall account for any variation at the time of such adjustment between the adjusted federal income tax basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as provided under Code section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder (such allocations shall be referred to herein as “reverse 704(c) allocations”).
(c) Elections. All decisions and elections relating to such 704(c) allocations or reverse 704(c) allocations -- including the selection of the method, or of different methods (to the extent permitted by the Regulations), of allocation, whether the “traditional method” described in Regulations section 1.704-3(b), the “traditional method with curative allocations” described in Regulations section 1.704-3(c), the “remedial allocation method” described in Regulations section 1.704-3(d), or any other reasonable method contemplated by Regulations section 1.704-3(a)(1) and the preamble to the Code section 704(c) Regulations in Treasury Decision 8500 (Dec. 22, 1993) (published in 58 Fed. Reg. 67676, 67676-78 and reprinted in 1994-1 C.B. 183, 183-85) for making such allocations which need not be specifically identified in the Regulations – shall be made by the Members in any reasonable manner. Allocations pursuant to this Section 2.4 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 Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses (or items thereof) or Distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. This Section 2.4 is intended to comply with, and grant the Members the maximum flexibility afforded under, Code section 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder and shall be interpreted consistent with such intent.
13.5 Varying Interests. In the event of any changes in Member Percentage Interest during a Fiscal Year (or other applicable period), then for purposes of this Section 2.5, the Members shall take into account the requirements of Code section 706(d) and other relevant provisions of the Code and Regulations and shall have the right to select any reasonable method of determining the varying interests of the Members during the year which satisfies Code section 706(d) or such other relevant provisions of the Code and Regulations.
