LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT | Page 11 | |
Section 6.2. Allocations of Net Profit or Net Loss for the Taxable Year of Liquidation of the Company. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VI (other than Section 6.7 but after application of Sections 6.4), the Net Profit (or items of Net Profit) or Net Loss (or items of Net Loss) of the Company for the taxable year of liquidation of the Company shall be allocated (and such allocations shall be taken into account in determining the final liquidating distributions of the Company), to the extent possible, in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member immediately prior to the final liquidating distribution is equal to the amount that would be distributable to such Member under Section 7.4. To the extent that the Capital Account of a Member is not equal to the amount that would be distributable to such Member under Section 7.4, income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or portions of such items, for the year of liquidation and, if necessary for prior years, to the extent allowed by law, will be allocated in such a manner so that the Capital Account of the Member is equal to the amount that would be distributable to such Member under Section 7.4.
Section 6.3. Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1, if the amount of Net Loss for any Adjustment Period that would otherwise be allocated to a Member under Section 6.1 would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as of the last day of such Adjustment Period, then a proportionate part of such Net Loss, equal to such excess shall be allocated to the other Member (except to the extent such allocation would cause the other Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit), and the remainder of such Net Loss, if any, shall be allocated to such Member.
Section 6.4. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order before allocations of Net Profit or Net Loss are made:
(a) | Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if in any Adjustment Period there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, then each Member shall first be allocated items of Gross Income for such Adjustment Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Adjustment Periods) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain,; provided, however, if there is insufficient Gross Income in an Adjustment Period to make that allocation for all Members for such Adjustment Period, Gross Income shall be allocated between the Members in proportion to the respective amounts they would have been allocated had there been an unlimited amount of Gross Income for such Adjustment Period. |
(b) | Intentionally omitted. |
(c) | Qualified Income Offset. After application of Sections 6.4(a) and 6.4(b), if in any taxable year a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Regulations, and if the Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Gross Income shall be allocated to the Member in the amount and in the manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as |
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT | Page 12 | |
possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.4(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.4(c) were not in this Agreement. |
(d) | Gross Income Allocation. If a Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Adjustment Period, items of Gross Income shall be allocated to the Member in the amount and in the manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation under this Section 6.4(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in Sections 6.1-6.4 have been tentatively made as if Section 6.4(c) and this Section 6.4(d) were not in this Agreement. |
(e) | Company Nonrecourse Deductions. Company Nonrecourse Deductions for any Adjustment Period shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Primary Sharing Ratios. |
(f) | Intentionally omitted. |
(g) | 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 Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) of the Regulations, to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its 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 specifically allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Primary Sharing Ratios (in the event Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) of the Regulations applies) or to the Member to whom such distribution was made (in the event Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) of the Regulations applies. |
Section 6.5. Tax Allocations – Code Section 704(c).
(a) | Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 6.5 or as otherwise required by the Code or Regulations, solely for federal income tax purposes, items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for each Adjustment Period shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as each correlative item of income, gain, loss and deduction, as determined for Capital Account purposes, is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1-4. |
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT | Page 13 |
(b) | In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the related Regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated, solely for tax purposes, among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis to the Company of the property for federal income tax purposes and the initial Book Value of the property. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 6.6 shall be made in any manner that Manager determines reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. |
(c) | If the Book Value of any asset of the Company is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of Book Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction for tax purposes with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the Book Value of such asset immediately prior to such adjustment and the Book Value of such asset immediately after such adjustment, in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations. |
Section 6.6. Other Allocation Rules; Intent of the Members. For purposes of determining the Net Profit, Net Loss, or any other item allocable to any period, Net Profit, Net Loss, and any such other item shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by Manager using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and the related Regulations. Furthermore, the Members hereby acknowledge and agree that they intend to (and shall) treat (i) the Company as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) each Member as a “tax partner” of the partnership referred to in the foregoing clause (i) for federal income tax purposes.
Section 6.7. Compliance with Code Section 704(b). It is the intent of the Members that the allocations of Net Profit, Net Loss and portions of such items are in accordance with the “partners’ (i.e., the Members’) interests in the partnership (i.e., the Company)” within the meaning of Section 704 of the Code and the Regulations or similar authority promulgated under the Code or Regulations. The allocations set forth in this Agreement shall be interpreted consistently with such intent, and shall be amended, if necessary, in order to accomplish this purpose.
Section 6.8. Tax Withholding. The Company is authorized to pay, on behalf of any Member, any amounts to any federal, state or local taxing authority, as may be necessary for the Company to comply with tax withholding provisions of the Code or of any applicable state or local tax laws, rules or regulations. To the extent the Company pays any such amounts that it may be required to pay on behalf of a Member, such amounts shall be treated as a cash distribution to such Member and shall reduce the amount of Operating Cash Flow or Extraordinary Cash Flow, as applicable, otherwise distributable to such Member. If the Company is obligated to pay any amount of an imputed underpayment within the meaning of Section 6225(b) of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, that is attributable to amounts that should have been allocated to a Member for the applicable tax year, then, in addition to, and without limiting any indemnities for which such Member may be liable under this Agreement, such Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company in respect of such payment, including interest and penalties.

The Liquidating Trustee shall be Manager or (if Manager declines such role) another Person appointed by the Members. The Liquidating Trustee shall promptly after dissolution obtain an appraisal of the Company Property (if the Company owns the Project at the time of the Company dissolution) by a real estate appraiser who is a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and selected by the Liquidating Trustee. All of the Company Property, if any, other than cash, shall be offered promptly for sale upon such terms as the Liquidating Trustee shall reasonably determine, using the appraisal provided for in Section 9.3(a) as a guide. The decision to accept or reject an offer to purchase the Company Property shall be made solely by the Liquidating Trustee. In winding up the affairs of the Company, the Liquidating Trustee shall pay the liabilities of the Company in such order of priority as provided by law. |

(1) | distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company Property, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or the Members arising out of or in connection with the Company. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidating Trustee, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 7.7; or |
(2) | withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Members as soon as practicable. |
(c) | Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IX, if the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Regulations but no event resulting in the termination of the Company pursuant to Section 9.1 has occurred, the Project shall not be liquidated, the Company’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Company’s affairs shall not be wound up.
