Regulatory Allocations The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of Article VI, if there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain” or “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (as defined in applicable Regulations under Code Section 704 for any Fiscal Year, then items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) shall be specially allocated among the Members in accordance with requirements of such Regulations. This Section 6.4(a)(i) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” requirements of such Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(ii) If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in accordance with the requirements of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). This Section 6.4(a)(ii) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” provision of such Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(iii) “Nonrecourse deductions” (within the meaning of Regulations under Section 704 of the Code) shall be allocated in accordance with the Members’ Interest Percentages and “partner nonrecourse deductions” (within the meaning of Regulations under Section 704 of the Code) shall be allocated to the Member who bears the risk of loss for the member nonrecourse debt that gives rise to such deductions.
(iv) If for any Fiscal Year the Company has a Net Loss and the allocation of such Net Loss would otherwise give rise to a negative Capital Account balance for any Member in excess of such Member’s share of “partnership minimum gain” (as defined in applicable regulations under Code Section 704), then that portion of such excess, to the extent otherwise allocable to any such Member, shall be allocated entirely to the Managing Member.
Section 704(c) Allocations Notwithstanding Section 6.5.A hereof, Tax Items with respect to Property that is contributed to the Partnership with an initial Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Partner immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. With respect to Partnership Property that is contributed to the Partnership in connection with the General Partner’s initial public offering, such variation between basis and initial Gross Asset Value shall be taken into account under the “traditional method” as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). With respect to other Properties, the Partnership shall account for such variation under any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the General Partner. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Article 1 hereof), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and using the method chosen by the General Partner; provided, however, that the “traditional method” as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) shall be used with respect to Partnership Property that is contributed to the Partnership in connection with the General Partner’s initial public offering. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.5.B are solely for purposes of Federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, or any other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
Tax Matters Partner; Tax Elections; Special Basis Adjustments (a) The General Partner shall be the Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. As Tax Matters Partner, the General Partner shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code for the Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner shall have the right to retain professional assistance in respect of any audit of the Partnership by the Service and all out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership as Tax Matters Partner shall constitute Partnership expenses. In the event the General Partner receives notice of a final Partnership adjustment under Section 6223(a)(2) of the Code, the General Partner shall either (i) file a court petition for judicial review of such final adjustment within the period provided under Section 6226(a) of the Code, a copy of which petition shall be mailed to all Limited Partners on the date such petition is filed, or (ii) mail a written notice to all Limited Partners, within such period, that describes the General Partner’s reasons for determining not to file such a petition.
(b) All elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under the Code or any applicable state or local tax law shall be made by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.
(c) In the event of a transfer of all or any part of the Partnership Interest of any Partner, the Partnership, at the option of the General Partner, may elect pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of the Partnership’s assets. Notwithstanding anything contained in Article 5 of this Agreement, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 754 of the Code shall affect only the successor in interest to the transferring Partner and in no event shall be taken into account in establishing, maintaining or computing Capital Accounts for the other Partners for any purpose under this Agreement. Each Partner will furnish the Partnership with all information necessary to give effect to such election.
Risk Allocation The Product is Regulatorily Continuing.
Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, after giving effect to the special allocations in subparagraph 1(c) and paragraph 2, Net Income, Net Loss and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction, of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable period of the Partnership shall be allocated among the General Partner and Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss Net Income or Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined as of the end of each calendar year and as of the end of any interim period extending through the day immediately preceding any (i) disproportionate Capital Contribution, (ii) disproportionate distribution, (iii) Transfer of a Partnership Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (iv) Withdrawal Event. If a calendar year includes an interim period, the determination of Net Income or Net Loss for the period extending through the last day of the calendar year shall include only that period of less than twelve (12) months occurring from the day immediately following the last day of the latest interim period during the calendar year and extending through the last day of the calendar year. For all purposes, including income tax purposes, Net Income, if any, of the Partnership for each calendar year or interim period shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages for the calendar year or interim period. In the event of a Net Loss for a particular calendar year or interim period, then, for such calendar year or interim period, the Net Loss for such calendar year or interim period shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages for the calendar year or interim period.
Tax Allocation Prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to determine a reasonable allocation of the total consideration paid for the Transferred Assets, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.1(d), Section 2.1(i) and Section 3.3, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree to such allocation and shall reduce such agreement to writing, which agreement shall be reflected in an Exhibit 2.1(j) to be approved by Seller and Purchaser prior to Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and properly execute each party’s respective completed Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and any other forms or statements required by the Code (or state or local Tax law), Treasury Regulations or the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority (together with any and all attachments required to be filed therewith), which forms and statements will be prepared in a manner consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall file timely such forms and statements with the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority. The Purchase Price Allocation shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account any subsequent payments under this Agreement and any other subsequent events required to be taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code. Seller and Purchaser shall not file any Tax Return or other documents or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation by any Governmental Authority. Seller and Purchaser shall promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to any allocation made pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) and agree to consult with and keep one another informed with respect to the state of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.
Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Partnership Year of the Partnership as of the end of each such year. Subject to the other provisions of this Article 6, an allocation to a Partner of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss.
Priority Allocations (A) If the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of any property distributed (except cash or property distributed pursuant to Section 12.4) with respect to a Unit exceeds the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of property distributed with respect to another Unit (the amount of the excess, an “Excess Distribution” and the Unit with respect to which the greater distribution is paid, an “Excess Distribution Unit”), then (1) there shall be allocated gross income and gain to each Unitholder receiving an Excess Distribution with respect to the Excess Distribution Unit until the aggregate amount of such items allocated with respect to such Excess Distribution Unit pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iii)(A) for the current taxable period and all previous taxable periods is equal to the amount of the Excess Distribution; and (2) the General Partner shall be allocated gross income and gain with respect to each such Excess Distribution in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (aa) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the General Partner’s Percentage Interest at the time when the Excess Distribution occurs by (y) a percentage equal to 100% less the General Partner’s Percentage Interest at the time when the Excess Distribution occurs, times (bb) the total amount allocated in clause (1) above with respect to such Excess Distribution.
(B) After the application of Section 6.1(d)(iii)(A), all or any portion of the remaining items of Partnership gross income or gain for the taxable period, if any, shall be allocated (1) to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights, Pro Rata, until the aggregate amount of such items allocated to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iii)(B) for the current taxable period and all previous taxable periods is equal to the cumulative amount of all Incentive Distributions made to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights from the Closing Date to a date 45 days after the end of the current taxable period; and (2) to the General Partner an amount equal to the product of (aa) an amount equal to the quotient determined by dividing (x) the General Partner’s Percentage Interest by (y) the sum of 100 less the General Partner’s Percentage Interest times (bb) the sum of the amounts allocated in clause (1) above.
Allocations of Income and Loss For each taxable year, each holder of Preferred Units will be allocated a portion of the Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership equal to the portion of the Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership that would be allocated to such holder pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement if such holder held a number of Partnership Common Units equal to (i) the number of Preferred Units held by such holder, multiplied by (ii) 0.625. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, the Partnership shall endeavor to allocate income and gain to the holders of the Preferred Units such that the Capital Accounts related to the Preferred Units are equal to their Liquidation Preference.
