If an Alternative Vehicle is not treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, the calculations described in this Section 2.8(b) shall be made as if such Alternative Vehicle were a partnership except that any taxes imposed on such entity shall be a deduction from Profit and Losses. If the General Partner determines in its reasonable discretion that the Alternative Vehicles shall not be treated as a partnership, the calculations described in this Section 2.8(b) shall be made as if the Alternative Vehicle were not a partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, allocations and distributions pursuant to Article IV, the Giveback and the Clawback Amount may be calculated separately from such amounts of a particular Alternative Vehicle (and vice versa) with the approval of Two-Thirds in Interest of the Limited Partners.
