Further, upon the earlier of (a) the point in time at which the absolute value of the deficit balance in a Member’s Capital Account equals or exceeds its DRO Limit and (b) the end of the first Taxable Year during which the absolute value of the deficit balance in a Member’s Capital Account as of the end of such Taxable Year is less than the absolute value of the deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the immediately preceding Taxable Year, such Member’s DRO Limit shall be automatically decreased (but not increased) at the end of such Taxable Year and each subsequent Taxable Year to an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the absolute value of the deficit balance (if any) in such Member’s Capital Account at the end of such Taxable Year (prior to taking into account such reduction) over (2) the amount that such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704- 2(i)(51.7042 (i)(5) as of the time of such reduction. In the event there is a “liquidation” of a Member’s interest in the Facility Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), after giving effect to all allocations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such Member’s share of any Facility Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and the allocations pursuant to Section 10.2), all distributions and all Capital Contributions for all periods, if that Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account, calculated in accordance with this Agreement and without regard to such Members’ obligation pursuant to this Section 10.3 (except to the extent disregarding such obligation in calculating such amount is inconsistent with law, in which case such Member’s obligation pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be taken into account in such calculation), then such Member shall be obligated to pay to the Company cash in an amount equal to such deficit balance by the end of the Taxable Year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Facility Company occurs, or if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation; provided, however, that the restoration obligation of a Member shall not exceed such Member’s then DRO Limit.
