Section 5.3Β Β Β Β Tax Distributions.
(a)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during each Fiscal Year or within ninety (90) days thereafter, to the extent of Available Cash and to the extent permitted by the Delaware Act, the Company shall, before any distributions are made under Section 5.1, distribute, in cash, to each Member an amount sufficient to enable such Member to satisfy such Memberβs federal, state and local Tax liabilities attributable to the items of income, gain, loss or deduction allocated to such Member by the Company with respect to such Fiscal Year. The amount to be distributed shall be determined by the Board in consultation with the Companyβs accountants and shall be computed for each Member (i) as if such Member were taxable at the highest applicable federal, state and local income Tax rates applicable to an individual domiciled in New York City, New York; provided that such rate may be increased or decreased from time to time as reasonably determined by the Board to take into account increases or decreases in applicable federal, state and local income tax rates for such location; (ii) as if allocations from the Company were, for such year, the sole source of income and loss for such Member (but determined without regard to allocations of any Company items deductible by individuals only under Code Section 212); and (iii) without regard to the carryover of items of loss, deduction and expense previously allocated by the Company to such Member.

14
(a)Β Β Β Β the amount that would be distributed under Section 5.1 to such Holder, determined as if the Company were to sell (as of the last day of the Fiscal Year) all of its assets for cash equal to their Gross Asset Values pursuant to a liquidation of the Company and distribute all of such cash in accordance with Section 11.3 (with the assumption that the amount paid in satisfaction of any nonrecourse obligation is limited to the Gross Asset Value of any property securing the nonrecourse obligation), minus

Section 6.2Β Β Β Β Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
(a)Β Β Β Β Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Holderβs share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).

The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2).

(b)Β Β Β Β Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Holder who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Holderβs share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2).

(c)Β Β Β Β In the event any Holder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) that cause such Holderβs Capital Account to be reduced below
15
zero by an amount greater than such Holderβs obligation to restore deficits on the dissolution of the Company (including deemed obligations to restore deficits under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5)) (such excess, an βUnpermitted Deficitβ), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Unpermitted Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Holder would have an Unpermitted Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.2(c) were not in the Agreement. This Section 6.2(c) is intended to constitute a βqualified income offsetβ within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.
(d)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, for any Fiscal Year, Nonrecourse Deductions and any items required to be allocated for purposes of Code Section 199A shall be allocated among the Holders pro rata in accordance with their economic interests.
(e)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Holder who (in its capacity, directly or indirectly, as lender, guarantor or otherwise) bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(f)Β Β Β Β To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted Tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Holder in complete liquidation of the Holderβs Membership Interest, the amount of such adjustment to 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 gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such sections of the Treasury Regulations.
Section 6.3Β Β Β Β Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.2(a) through 6.2(f) hereof (the βRegulatory Allocationsβ) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Holders that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Holders shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Holderβs Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Holder would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.5.
Section 6.4Β Β Β Β Section 704(c) and Capital Account Revaluation Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss,
16
expense, and deduction shall, solely for income Tax purposes, be allocated among the Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes of property contributed to the capital of the Company and such contributed propertyβs initial Gross Asset Value; provided that such allocations shall be based upon the βtraditional methodβ described in the Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, expense, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; provided that such allocations shall be based upon the βtraditional methodβ described in the Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.4 are solely for federal, state, and local income Tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Holderβs Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
Section 6.5Β Β Β Β Additional Allocation Rules.
(a)Β Β Β Β For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis (but no less frequently than once annually), as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board using any method that is permissible under the Code (including, but not limited to, Code Section 706) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. In the event there is a change in any Holderβs interest in the Company during a Fiscal Year, Profits, Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, expense, and deduction shall be appropriately allocated among the Holders to take into account the varying interests of the Holders so as to comply with Code Section 706(d).
(b)Β Β Β Β Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of income, gain, loss, expense and deduction and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as is applicable to Profits and Losses for the Fiscal Year in question.

Any determination under the preceding sentence shall be final and binding on the Company and all Holders and neither the Company nor any Holder shall take any position for any purpose that is inconsistent with such determination.
(e)Β Β Β Β To the extent permitted by a State Tax, the Company shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to reduce, prevent or otherwise mitigate the Companyβs liability for any Underpayment Amount under the State Tax, including, but not limited to, making elections similar to and in the same order of preference as the elections described in each of Section 6.6(c) and Section 6.6(d).
