Tax Allocation The Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code among the Timberlands, minerals, Timberlands Contracts, and the Personal Property using the methodology mutually approved by Seller and Purchaser in the manner set forth in this Section 37, provided that such allocation methodology shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with (a) the allocation set forth in Section 2.1, (b) the Value Table (other than the per acre values set forth therein) and (c) Exhibit 48 (the “Allocation Framework”). No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an allocation of the Purchase Price among the Timberlands, minerals, Timberlands Contracts, and Personal Property, which allocation shall be reasonable, based on fair market values, consistent with the Code, shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with the Allocation Framework and to the extent relating to the portion of the Purchase Price paid for the Timberlands, set forth an allocation between the Installment Sale Timberlands and the Non-Installment Sale Timberlands (the “Proposed Allocation”). No later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall endeavor to agree on the Proposed Allocation. In the event that Seller and Purchaser have not so agreed by such date Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If Purchaser and Seller fail to agree on such allocation before the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days following the Closing Date, such allocation shall be determined, within a reasonable time and in a manner that incorporates, reflects and is consistent with the Allocation Framework, by an independent, nationally recognized firm of accountants mutually selected by the Parties. The allocation of the total consideration, as agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller or determined by a firm of accountants under this Section 37, (the “Final Allocation”) shall be final and binding upon the Parties. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall bear all fees and costs incurred by it in connection with the determination of the allocation of the total consideration, except that the Parties shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of such accounting firm. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, (a) Seller and Purchaser agree to prepare and file an IRS Form 8594 for or such other form or statement as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation, and any comparable state or local income Tax form, in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation, (b) Seller and Purchaser shall adhere to the Final Allocation for all Tax-related purposes including any federal, foreign, state, county or local income and franchise Tax Return filed by them after the Closing Date, including the determination by Seller of Taxable gain or loss on the sale and the determination by Purchaser of its Tax basis with respect to same, and (c) neither Purchaser nor Seller shall file any Tax Return or, in a judicial or administrative proceeding, assert or maintain any Tax reporting position that is inconsistent with this Agreement or the Final Allocation agreed to in accordance with this Agreement.
Tax Allocations Each item of income, gain, loss or deduction recognized by the Company shall be allocated among the Members for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner that each such item is allocated to the Member’s Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 3.2(d) or as otherwise provided herein, provided that the Board may adjust such allocations as long as such adjusted allocations have substantial economic effect or are in accordance with the interests of the Members in the Company, in each case within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Tax credits and tax credit recapture shall be allocated in accordance with the Members’ interests in the Company as provided in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property (other than cash) contributed to the capital of the Company or revalued shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution or revaluation, as the case may be. All of the Members agree that the Board is authorized to select the method or convention, or to treat an item as an extraordinary item, in relation to any variation of any Member’s interest in the Company described in section 1.706-4 of the Treasury Regulations in determining the Members’ distributive shares of Company items. All matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, including accounting procedures, not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Each Class B Ordinary Share is intended to be treated as a profits interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all of the Members agree to report consistently with, and to take any action requested by the Board to ensure, such treatment.
Curative Allocation (A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, other than the Required Allocations, the Required Allocations shall be taken into account in making the Agreed Allocations so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner pursuant to the Required Allocations and the Agreed Allocations, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Partner under the Agreed Allocations had the Required Allocations and the related Curative Allocation not otherwise been provided in this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Required Allocations relating to (1) Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain and (2) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) shall only be made with respect to Required Allocations to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the Partners. Further, allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) hereof to the extent the General Partner determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent Required Allocations.
(B) The General Partner shall, with respect to each taxable period, (1) apply the provisions of Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations, and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.
Contribution Allocation The Advisory Committee will allocate deferral contributions, matching contributions, qualified nonelective contributions and nonelective contributions in accordance with Section 14.06 and the elections under this Adoption Agreement Section 3.04.
PART I. [OPTIONS (a) THROUGH (d)].
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.
Corrective Allocations In the event of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items or any Book-Down Event or any recognition of a Net Termination Loss, the following rules shall apply:
(A) In the case of any allocation of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items (other than an allocation of Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss under Section 5.5(d) hereof), the General Partner shall allocate additional items of gross income and gain away from the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights to the Unitholders and the General Partner, or additional items of deduction and loss away from the Unitholders and the General Partner to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights, to the extent that the Additional Book Basis Derivative Items allocated to the Unitholders or the General Partner exceed their Share of Additional Book Basis Derivative Items. For this purpose, the Unitholders and the General Partner shall be treated as being allocated Additional Book Basis Derivative Items to the extent that such Additional Book Basis Derivative Items have reduced the amount of income that would otherwise have been allocated to the Unitholders or the General Partner under the Partnership Agreement (e.g., Additional Book Basis Derivative Items taken into account in computing cost of goods sold would reduce the amount of book income otherwise available for allocation among the Partners). Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xii)(A) shall be made after all of the other Agreed Allocations have been made as if this Section 6.1(d)(xii) were not in this Agreement and, to the extent necessary, shall require the reallocation of items that have been allocated pursuant to such other Agreed Allocations.
(B) In the case of any negative adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Partners resulting from a Book-Down Event or from the recognition of a Net Termination Loss, such negative adjustment (1) shall first be allocated, to the extent of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments, in such a manner, as determined by the General Partner, that to the extent possible the aggregate Capital Accounts of the Partners will equal the amount that would have been the Capital Account balance of the Partners if no prior Book-Up Events had occurred, and (2) any negative adjustment in excess of the Aggregate Remaining Net Positive Adjustments shall be allocated pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof.
(C) In making the allocations required under this Section 6.1(d)(xii), the General Partner may apply whatever conventions or other methodology it determines will satisfy the purpose of this Section 6.1(d)(xii).
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.
Curative Allocations The allocations set forth in Sections 6.4.A(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders so that to the extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
Income Tax Allocations (a) Except as provided in this Section 9.4, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 13.4(b).
(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value at the time of its contribution to the Company. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company property is adjusted in accordance with clause (c) or (d) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, then subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value as provided in Code Section 704(c) and the related Treasury Regulations. For purposes of such allocations, the Company shall elect the remedial allocation method described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d).
(c) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof and basis allocations recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company.
(d) If any deductions for depreciation or cost recovery are recaptured as ordinary income upon the Transfer of Company properties, the ordinary income character of the gain from such Transfer shall be allocated among the Members in the same ratio as the deductions giving rise to such ordinary character were allocated.
Allocation Following the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers an allocation of the aggregate consideration among Sellers and, for any transactions contemplated by this Agreement that do not constitute an Agreed G Transaction pursuant to Section 6.16, Purchaser shall also prepare and deliver to the applicable Seller a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price and other consideration paid in exchange for the Purchased Assets, prepared in accordance with Section 1060, and if applicable, Section 338, of the Tax Code (the “Allocation”). The applicable Seller shall have thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Allocation to review and consent to the Allocation in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the applicable Seller consents to the Allocation, such Seller and Purchaser shall use such Allocation to prepare and file in a timely manner all appropriate Tax filings, including the preparation and filing of all applicable forms in accordance with applicable Law, including Forms 8594 and 8023, if applicable, with their respective Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and shall take no position in any Tax Return that is inconsistent with such Allocation; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent the applicable Seller and Purchaser from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of such Allocation, and neither the applicable Seller nor Purchaser shall be required to litigate before any court, any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing Authority challenging such Allocation. If the applicable Seller does not consent to such Allocation, the applicable Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such disagreement within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter, the applicable Seller shall attempt in good faith to promptly resolve any such disagreement. If the Parties cannot resolve a disagreement under this Section 3.3, such disagreement shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm chosen by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to the applicable Seller, and such resolution shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the applicable Seller, on the other hand. The applicable Seller shall provide Purchaser, and Purchaser shall provide the applicable Seller, with a copy of any information described above required to be furnished to any Taxing Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
