The Initial Sharing Ratios shall apply to all allocations of Net Loss before
Project Completion; and the Subsequent Sharing Ratios shall apply for all
periods thereafter during which Project Completion remains attained in
accordance with the definition thereof contained in Section 2.18 hereof.
Distributions from operations or from a sale or other disposition of all, or
a substantial portion, of the assets of the Partnership shall be made in
proportion to Subsequent Sharing Ratios, in the same manner as the
distribution of proceeds of liquidation in Section 10.3(d) below, regardless
of the status of Project Completion.
4.2 ALLOCATION OF NET PROFIT AND NET LOSS. Subject to Sections 4.3, 4.4 and
4.5 hereof, Net Profit and Net Loss shall be allocated among the Partners as
follows:
(a) Net Loss shall be allocated among Partners in proportion to
their Initial or Subsequent Sharing Ratios, as the case may be,
provided, however, no amount of Net Loss shall be allocated to a Partner
with a negative balance in its Capital Account in excess of the amount
such Partner is obligated to restore to the Partnership, or deemed to
be obligated to restore to the Partnership pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704. Any Net Loss that cannot be allocated to a
Partner because it has a negative balance in its Capital Account in
excess of the amount it is obligated, or deemed to be obligated, to
restore to the Partnership shall be allocated among the remaining
Partners without such excess amounts of negative balances in their
Capital Accounts in proportion to their applicable Initial or
Subsequent Sharing Ratios.
-4-
(b) Net Income from operations shall be allocated among the
Partners in proportion to the amount of actual distributions of
Distributable Cash made in the current and all prior fiscal years,
to the extent of such actual distributions.
(c) Net Income from operations in excess of the amount of actual
distributions of Distributable Cash in the current and all prior
fiscal years shall be allocated in proportion to Subsequent Sharing
Ratios.
(d) Net Income from a sale or other disposition of all, or a
substantial portion, of the assets of the Partnership shall be allocated
among the Partners so as to cause the Capital Accounts of all Partners
to be in proportion to the Subsequent Sharing Ratios of the Partners.
4.6 DISTRIBUTIONS OF DISTRIBUTABLE CASH. Any Distributable Cash shall be
distributed to the Partners in accordance with the Subsequent Sharing Ratios
set forth in Section 4.1 at such times and in amounts as determined by the
Board of Directors of the General Partner, in its discretion; provided that
all Distributable Cash on hand shall be distributed at least annually within
one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of each fiscal year of the
Partnership. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the Partnership
reports any taxable income for any fiscal year, the Partnership shall make a
good faith effort to distribute sufficient cash distributions to its Limited
Partners so that they would be able to pay federal, state, and local income
taxes with such distributions on such income at the highest effective rate
that any Limited Partner is subject to for such fiscal year. The Board of
Directors of the General Partner may from time to time also allow a Partner
to withdraw Distributable Cash from the Partnership, without concurrent
distributions to other Partners in accordance with the Sharing Ratios, if
agreed to in writing by all Partners. Such draws shall be repaid to the
Partnership from future distributions of Distributable Cash to the Partner.
10.3 (d) To the Partners in accordance with their Subsequent Sharing Ratios.
If at the time of liquidation the General Partner shall determine that an
immediate sale of part or all or the Partnership assets would cause undue
loss to the Partners, the General Partner may, in order to avoid loss, either
defer liquidation and retain the assets or distribute the assets to the
Partners in kind. In the event that the General Partner elects to distribute
such assets in kind, in determining the Partners' Subsequent Sharing Ratios
applicable to the distribution, the assets shall first be assigned a value
and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation in value of the assets shall
be allocated
-5-
to the Partner's capital accounts, as if such assets had been sold and the
gain or loss allocated in the manner described in Article IV.
10.4 DEFICIT CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. It is understood and agreed that one purpose
of the provisions of Section 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.7 is to ensure that
none of the Partners has a negative balance in their Capital Account upon
liquidation and to ensure that all allocations under this Partnership
Agreement will be respected by the Internal Revenue Service. The Partners and
the Partnership do not intend or expect that any Partner will have a negative
balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation, after all capital Account
adjustments for gain on sale or distribution, and the actual distribution of
proceeds, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and
interpreted to give effect to such intention. No Partner shall have any
obligation upon dissolution of the Partnership or at any other time to
restore a negative balance in its Capital Account.
11.4 LIMITATION ON USE IN CASE OF DISTRIBUTION OF SOFTWARE. To the extent
that any of the Partners receive rights to any of the assets of the
Partnership by distribution in liquidation or otherwise, such Partners agree
that they will be subject to and shall comply with the limitations on the use
of Partnership software and the confidentiality provisions contained herein,
subject however to the terms of any other agreement the Partners may enter
into with the Partnership or among themselves which shall govern. The terms
of this Section 11.14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Each
Partner or Affiliate of the Partner shall have a worldwide, personal,
nontransferable, and nonexclusive right to reproduce, modify, translate, and
use the software. The software shall be used only for the processing of the
brokerage business of the Partner or an Affiliate of the Partner, including,
but not limited to, correspondent business on either a fully disclosed or
omnibus basis, and shall not be used in the operation of a service bureau or
sold or otherwise made available for use by a non-Affiliated entity without
the payment to the Partnership of additional consideration which is
commercially reasonable for the non-Affiliated services being provided. Such
compensation shall be mutually agreed upon by the user and the Partnership.
The software and any modifications, changes, enhancements, conversions,
upgrades or additions made to the software, made by the Partnership or a
third party on the Partnership's behalf, shall be the sole and exclusive
property of the Partnership, including all applicable rights to patents,
copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets inherent therein and appurtenant
thereto. Any modifications, changes, enhancements, conversions, upgrades or
additions made to the software by a Partner or an Affiliate of the Partner
or a third party on the Partner's or an Affiliate's behalf ("Permitted
Modifications") shall be the sole and exclusive property of such Partner or
Affiliate, including all applicable rights to patents, copyrights, trademarks
and trade secrets inherent therein and appurtenant thereto and the Partner
or its Affiliate shall have the right to use the Permitted Modifications
-6-
without charge pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall prevent the making of
modifications, changes, enhancements, upgrades or additions or developing any
new software products by a Partner which produce the same or similar results,
data, reports or information produced by the Permitted Modifications. Each
Partner shall not sell, transfer, publish, disclose, display or otherwise
make available to others (except for Affiliates) any source code, object
code, documentation or other material relating to the software. Each Partner
shall obtain agreements from its employees and the Affiliates' employees
maintaining confidentiality of, and prohibiting unauthorized use or
disclosure of, the source code or object code of the software or of any
portion of the software, or any of the algorithms or logic contained therein.
Without limitation of the foregoing, a Partner shall advise the other
Partners immediately in the event that the Partner learns or has reason to
believe that any person who has had access to the software, or any portion
thereof, has violated or intends to violate the terms of this Section; and
the Partner will (at such Partner's own expense), cooperate with the other
Partners in seeking injunctive or other equitable relief against such Person.
