Change in Accounting Principles If, after the date of this Agreement, there shall occur any change in GAAP from those used in the preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section 6.5 hereof and such change shall result in a change in the method of calculation of any financial covenant, standard or term found in this Agreement, either the Borrower or the Required Lenders may by written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, respectively, require that the Lenders and the Borrower negotiate in good faith to amend such covenants, standards, and terms so as equitably to reflect such change in accounting principles, with the desired result being that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be the same as if such change had not been made. No delay by the Borrower or the Required Lenders in requiring such negotiation shall limit their right to so require such a negotiation at any time after such a change in accounting principles. Until any such covenant, standard, or term is amended in accordance with this Section 5.3, financial covenants shall be computed and determined in accordance with GAAP in effect prior to such change in accounting principles. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall neither be deemed to be in compliance with any financial covenant hereunder nor out of compliance with any financial covenant hereunder if such state of compliance or noncompliance, as the case may be, would not exist but for the occurrence of a change in accounting principles after the date hereof.
Statements of Reconciliation after Change in Accounting Principles If, as a result of any change in accounting principles and policies from those used in the preparation of the Historical Financial Statements, the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or 5.1(c) will differ in any material respect from the consolidated financial statements that would have been delivered pursuant to such subdivisions had no such change in accounting principles and policies been made, then, together with the first delivery of such financial statements after such change, one or more statements of reconciliation for all such prior financial statements in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent;
Accounting Principles Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made for the purposes of this Agreement, the same shall be done in accordance with GAAP, to the extent applicable, except where such principles are inconsistent with the requirements of this Agreement.
Financial Accounting Practices The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make and keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect its transactions and dispositions of its assets and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary (i) to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and (ii) to maintain accountability for assets, (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization and (d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
Tax Accounting Practices (a) Except as provided in Section 3.03(b), any Tax Return for any Pre-Distribution Tax Period, to the extent it relates to members of the Dealer Group, shall be prepared in accordance with practices, accounting methods, elections, conventions and Tax positions used with respect to the Tax Return in question for periods prior to the Distribution (“Past Practices”), and, in the case of any item the treatment of which is not addressed by Past Practices, in accordance with generally acceptable Tax accounting practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Tax Return described in the preceding sentence, (i) a Party will not be required to follow Past Practices with either the written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) or a “should” level opinion from a Tax Advisor that the proposed method of reporting is correct and (ii) ADP shall have the right to determine which entities will be included in any consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary Return that it is responsible for filing.
(b) The Parties shall report the Transactions for all Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the Tax Opinions/Rulings, unless, and only to the extent, an alternative position is required pursuant to a Final Determination. ADP shall determine the Tax treatment to be reported on any Tax Return of any Tax issue relating to the Transactions that is not covered by the Tax Opinions/Rulings.
Capital Accounts of the Partners A. The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions and any other deemed contributions made by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) all items of Partnership income and gain (including income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 1.B hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement and this Exhibit B, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Agreed Value of property actually distributed or deemed to be distributed to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement and (y) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 1.B hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement and this Exhibit B.
B. For purposes of computing Net Income, Net Loss or the amount of any item of income, gain, loss and deduction to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code (for this purpose all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of Net Income, Net Loss and all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any adjustments to the adjusted bases of the assets of the Partnership pursuant to Sections 754 of the Code, provided, however, that the amounts of any adjustments to the adjusted bases of the assets of the Partnership made pursuant to Section 734 of the Code as a result of the distribution of property by the Partnership to a Partner (to the extent that such adjustments have not previously been reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts) shall be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners in the manner and subject to the limitations prescribed in Regulations Section l.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4).
(2) The computation of Net Income, Net Loss and all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to the fact that items described in Sections 705(a)(l)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code are not includible in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes.
(3) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.
(4) 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 for such Fiscal Year or shorter period.
(5) In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.D hereof, the amount of any such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset.
(6) Any items specially allocated under Section 1 of Exhibit C to the Agreement hereof shall not be taken into account.
C. A transferee (including any Assignee) of a Partnership Unit shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l).
(1) Consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), and as provided in Section 1.D(2), the Carrying Values of all Partnership assets shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as of the times of the adjustments provided in Section 1.D(2) hereof, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property and allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement.
(2) Such adjustments shall be made as of the following times: (a) immediately prior to the acquisition of an additional interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution; (b) immediately prior to the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of property as consideration for an interest in the Partnership; (c) immediately prior to the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(g); (d) immediately prior to the grant of an interest in the Partnership (other than a de minimis interest) as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership by an existing Partner acting in a Partner capacity or by a new partner acting in a Partner capacity or in anticipation of becoming a Partner (including the issuance of any LTIP Units); and (e) at such other times as permitted or required under Regulations; provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e) (to the extent not required by Regulations) above shall be made only if the General Partner determines that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership.
(3) In accordance with Regulations Section 1.704- l(b)(2)(iv)(e), the Carrying Value of Partnership assets distributed in kind shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as of the time any such asset is distributed.
(4) In determining Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss for purposes of this Exhibit B, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including cash or cash equivalents) shall be determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, or in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Article XIII of the Agreement, shall be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt. The General Partner, or the Liquidator, as the case may be, shall allocate such aggregate fair market value among the assets of the Partnership in such manner as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties.
E. The provisions of the Agreement (including this Exhibit B and the other Exhibits to the Agreement) relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership, the General Partner, or the Limited Partners) are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification without regard to Article XIV of the Agreement, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Person pursuant to Article XIII of the Agreement upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner also shall (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership capital reflected on the Partnership’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section l.704-1(b).
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Wherever in this Agreement reference is made to generally accepted accounting principles, such reference shall be deemed to be the recommendations at the relevant time of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, or any successor institute, applicable on a consolidated basis (unless otherwise specifically provided herein to be applicable on an unconsolidated basis) as at the date on which a calculation is made or required to be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of revenue or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made for the purpose of this Agreement or any document, such determination or calculation shall, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified herein or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
Adjustments to Capital Accounts At the end of each Fiscal Period, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in the following manner:
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsections (c) and (d) and (f) of this Section 9, Net Profit of the Partnership for the Fiscal Year shall be credited as follows:
(i) Twenty percent (20%) of the Net Profit shall be reallocated to the General Partner for each Fiscal Year as a "Incentive Allocation".
(ii) The remaining Net Profit shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Capital Accounts.
(b) Net Loss of the Partnership for the Fiscal Year shall be debited against the Capital Account of each Partner in proportion to and in accordance with the balance in the Capital Account of the Partner until the value of any Partners' Capital account becomes zero. Thereafter, any remaining Net Loss for the Fiscal Year shall be debited to Partners having positive balances in their Capital accounts in proportion to those balances, until the value of each Partner's Capital Account becomes zero. Thereafter, any remaining Net Loss for the Fiscal Year shall be debited to the General Partner in accordance with each General Partner's General Partner Percentage for the Fiscal Period.
(c) In the event that the Capital Account of one or more General Partner has a negative balance, one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Profit of the Partnership for the Fiscal Period shall be credited to those General Partners whose Capital Accounts have negative balances in accordance with their respective General Partner Percentages until no General Partner shall have a negative Capital Account balance.
(d) Anything in this Section 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Net Losses are allocated to the account of any Limited Partner, each such Limited Partner shall be entitled to a "Recoupment Allocation" of subsequent Net Profits of the Partnership, in an amount in proportion to his Partnership Percentage, until such Net Loss shall have been eliminated. The amount of Net Profits allocated as a Recoupment Allocation shall not exceed, but shall reduce, the amount of Net Profits otherwise allocable to the General Partners as the Incentive Allocation pursuant to Section 9(a) (ii) hereof. If a Limited Partner who is entitled to a Recoupment Allocation shall withdraw any portion of his Capital Account, the amount of Recoupment Allocation to which he is entitled shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of capital withdrawn.
(e) The amount of any withdrawal made by the Partner pursuant to Section 21 or Section 22 of this Agreement shall be debited against the Capital Account of that Partner.
(f) Allocations of Net Profit or Net Loss for a Fiscal Period, if necessary, shall be made in accordance with each Partner's Partnership percentage, adjusted as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 9 at the end of the Fiscal Year, provided that the "Incentive Allocation" may not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Net Profit for the Fiscal Year.
Accounting Basis The Company shall use such method of accounting as may be determined by the Board that is consistent with United States generally accepted accounting principles or such other accounting methods and conventions as the Board may from time to time determine to be used in the preparation of the Company’s tax returns.
Capital Accounts Allocations There shall be established in respect of each Holder a separate capital account in the books and records of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust in respect of the Holder's Capital Contributions to the Up-MACRO Holding Trust (each, a "Capital Account"), to which the following provisions shall apply:
(a) The Capital Account of each Holder initially shall be equal to the cash contributed in exchange for its Up-MACRO Holding Shares (each, a "Capital Contribution") and, at the end of each day shall be:
(i) increased by (A) an amount equal to any amounts paid with respect to Up-MACRO Holding Shares issued as part of a Paired Issuance by such Holder during such day; and (B) such Holder's interest in the Net Profit (and items thereof) of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust during such day as allocated under Section 7.2(b); and
(ii) decreased by (A) any distributions made in cash by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to such Holder on such day; (B) the fair market value of any property other than cash distributed by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to such Holder on such day; and (C) such Holder's interest in the Net Loss (and items thereof) of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust for such day as allocated under Section 7.2(b).
(b) Except pursuant to the Regulatory Allocations set forth in Section 7.3, or as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, Net Profit and Net Loss (and items of each) of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall be provisionally allocated as of the end of each day among the Holders in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Holder immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount equal to the distributions that would be made to such Holder during such fiscal year pursuant to Article 5 if (i) the Up-MACRO Holding Trust were dissolved and terminated; (ii) its affairs were wound up and each Trust Asset was sold for cash equal to its book value; (iii) all Up-MACRO Holding Trust liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the book value of the assets securing such liability); and (iv) the net assets of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust were distributed in accordance with Article 5 to the Holders immediately after giving effect to such allocation. The Depositor may, in its discretion, make such other assumptions (whether or not consistent with the above assumptions) as it deems necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the intended economic arrangement of the Holders. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Trust Agreement, if upon the dissolution and termination of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust pursuant to Section 14.1 and after all other allocations provided for in this Section 7.2 have been tentatively made as if this Section 7.2(b) were not in this Trust Agreement, a distribution to the Holders under Section 14.1 would be different from a distribution to the Holders under Article 5 then Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof) for the fiscal year in which the Up-MACRO Holding Trust dissolves and terminates pursuant to Section 14.1 shall be allocated among the Holders in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Holder, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount of the distribution that would be made to such Holder during such last fiscal year pursuant to Article 5. The Depositor may, in its discretion, apply the principles of this Section 7.2(b) to any fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the Up-MACRO Holding Trust dissolves and terminates (including through application of Section 761(e) of the Code) if delaying application of the principles of this Section 7.2(b) would likely result in distributions under Section 14.1 that are materially different from distributions under Article 5 in the fiscal year in which the Up-MACRO Holding Trust dissolves and terminates.
(c) Before any distribution of property (other than cash) from the Up-MACRO Holding Trust to a Holder (including without limitation, any non-cash asset which shall be deemed distributed immediately prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust), the Capital Accounts of all Holders of the Up-MACRO Holding Trust shall be adjusted and, upon the occurrence of one or more of the other events described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, may be adjusted to reflect the manner in which any unrealized income, gain, loss or deduction inherent in such property (that has not been previously reflected in the Holders' Capital Accounts) would be allocated among the Holders if there were a taxable disposition of such property by the Up-MACRO Holding Trust on the date of distribution, in accordance with Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g) of the Regulations.
(d) In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of this Section 7.2, there shall be taken into account Section 752 of the Code and any other applicable provisions of the Code and any Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 7.2 regarding the maintenance of Capital Accounts shall be construed so as to comply with the provisions of the Code and any Regulations thereunder. The Depositor in its sole and absolute discretion and whose determination shall be binding on the Holders is hereby authorized to interpret and to modify the foregoing provisions to the extent necessary to comply with the Code and Regulations.
