Code Section 754 Adjustment To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to the Allocation Regulations, to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to the Allocation Regulations.
Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c) (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.6, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under this Article V. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of “Gross Asset Value”). Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the “remedial method” described by Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).
(b) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Property is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the “remedial method” described by Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).
(c) In accordance with Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.250-1(f), any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this Section 5.6(c), be characterized as “recapture income” in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as “recapture income.”
(d) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.6 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Code Section 280G In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 3(b), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Employee’s benefits under Section 2 of this Agreement shall be either:
(i) delivered in full, or
(ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance and other benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, results in the receipt by the Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 3(b) shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 3(b), the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

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.

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.

(b) Buyer shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, over to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds any Tax Refunds that Seller is entitled to pursuant to this Section 8.6.1 within ten (10) Business Days of the actual receipt of the Tax Refund giving rise to Buyer’s obligation to make a payment pursuant to Section 8.6.1 with respect thereto (or, in the case of a credit in lieu of a refund, the Due Date for the filing of a Tax Return that reflects the actual reduction in Taxes resulting from such credit).
(c) The Group Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain (or cause to be obtained) any reasonably available Tax Refunds with respect to any applicable Pre-Closing Period Income Tax Return by filing, or causing to file, any such Tax Returns as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, in each case, as finally resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.6.2; provided, however, that the Group Companies shall not be required to file IRS Form 4466 (or any comparable form for state or local Tax purposes). The Group Companies shall not elect to apply any applicable Tax Refund as a credit against Taxes payable for a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date.
