Notwithstanding Section 4.1, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, in subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership property subject to a Nonrecourse Liability, which share of such net decrease shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) shall be made in proportion to the amounts required to be allocated to each Partner under this Section 4.2(a). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 4.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Notwithstanding Section 4.1, if a Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), or any other event creates a deficit balance in such Partner’s Capital Account in excess of such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such excess deficit balance as quickly as possible. Any special allocations of items of income and gain pursuant to this Section 4.2(e) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of income and gain pursuant to this Article IV so that the net amount of any item so allocated and the income, gain, and losses allocated to each Partner pursuant to this Article IV to the extent possible, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.2(e) if such unexpected adjustments, allocations, or distributions had not occurred.

Notwithstanding Section 4.1, loss allocations to a Partner shall be made only to the extent that such loss allocations will not create a deficit Capital Account balance for that Partner in excess of an amount, if any, equal to such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain that would be realized on a foreclosure of the Partnership’s property.

No Partner has the right, on account of any dissolution of the type described in this Section 12.1, to have the Partnership’s assets applied to discharge its liabilities.

Section 12.2. Winding-Up of Affairs. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Partnership shall immediately commence winding up its affairs and shall file a notice of dissolution or cancellation. The winding-up of the affairs of the Partnership and the distribution of its assets shall be conducted exclusively by the Liquidator, who is hereby authorized to do all acts authorized by law for these purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Liquidator, in carrying out such winding-up and distribution, shall have full power and authority to sell all or any of the Partnership assets or to distribute the same in kind to the Partners. Any assets distributed in kind shall be subject to all operating agreements or other agreements relating thereto which shall survive the termination of the Partnership.

Section 12.3. Liquidating Distributions.

(a) Following dissolution of the Partnership and incident to the winding-up of the Partnership’s affairs, all debts and liabilities of the Partnership shall be discharged in the order of priority provided by law. The fair market value of the respective remaining assets of the Partnership shall then be determined; with the fair market value of any assets other than cash being determined by an independent appraiser selected by the Liquidator with the approval of a majority vote of the Partners. Thereupon, the assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to the number of LP Units held by each Partner in relation to the aggregate number of outstanding LP Units. For purposes of such allocation only, it shall be assumed that the assets of the Partnership other than cash had been sold for an amount equal to their fair market value as determined above, and that the income, gain or loss from such sale had been allocated in accordance with Article IV. Each Partner shall receive its share of the assets in cash or in kind, and the proportion of such share that is received in cash may vary from Partner to Partner, all as the Liquidator may decide. Except as provided below, if such distributions are insufficient to return to any Partner the full amount of its Capital Contributions, such Partner shall have no recourse against the Partnership or any other Partner.

(b) The proceeds of liquidation and any unliquidated assets of the Partnership shall be distributed as provided in Section 12.3(a). Any reserves established by the Liquidator in the course of such distribution shall be held for so long as the Liquidator shall deem necessary in a special account maintained by the Liquidator for the purpose of paying contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations. At the time the Liquidator determines that there is no longer a need for the reserve, it shall be distributed in the order of priority established in Section 12.3(a). The distribution of the reserve shall commence where the initial distribution of the assets of the Partnership ended. For purposes of this Section 12.3, expenses of dissolution and liquidation shall be treated as debts and obligations of the Partnership.
