ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
7.1 Net Income and items in respect thereof for each fiscal year of the Partnership shall be allocated as follows:
7.1.1 First, Net Income shall be allocated to all Partners having Deficit Capital Account Balances, in proportion to such Deficit Capital Account Balances, until all such Deficit Capital Account Balances have been eliminated;
7.1.2 Then, any remaining Net Income shall be allocated among the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Percentages.
7.2 Net Loss and items in respect thereto shall be charged to the partners and allocated as follows:
7.2.1 Among the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Percentages, in all such instances subject to the requirements of the Treasury Regulations then in effect under Section 704(b) of the Code.
7.2.2 The Net Losses allocated pursuant to Section 7.2.1 hereof to any Partner for any fiscal year shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that may be
allocated to such Partner without causing such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such fiscal year. All Losses in excess of the limitation in this Section 7.2.2 shall be allocated solely to the other Partners in proportion to their respective Percentages. If no other Partner may receive an additional allocation of Net Losses pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 7.2.2, such additional Losses not allocated pursuant to Section 7.2.1 of this Agreement or the preceding sentence shall be allocated solely to the General Partner.
7.3 Minimum Gain
7.3.1 If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable year, certain items of income and gain shall be allocated (on a gross basis) to the Partners in the amounts and manner described in Section 1.704-2(f) and (j)(2)(i) and (iii) of the Treasury Regulations, subject to the exemptions set forth in Section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) and (5) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 7.3.1 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement (set forth in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations) relating to Partnership nonrecourse liabilities (as defined in Section 1.704-2(b)(3) of the Treasury Regulations) and shall be so interpreted.
7.3.2 If there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable year, certain items of income and gain shall be allocated (on a gross basis) as quickly as possible to those Partners who had a share of the Partner Minimum Gain (determined pursuant to Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations) in the amounts and manner described in Section 1.704-2(i)(4), (j)(2)(ii) and (iii) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 7.3.2 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement (set forth in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations) relating to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Section 1.704-2(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations) and shall be so interpreted.
7.4 Qualified Income Offset. If, after applying Section 7.3.1 and Section 7.3.2, any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated (on a gross basis) to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible. This Section 7.4 is intended to comply with the “Qualified Income Offset” requirement set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be so interpreted.
7.5 Basis Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Treasury 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 gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.
7.6 Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated pursuant to Section 1.704-2(b)(4) and (i)(1) of the Treasury Regulations to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the deductions.
7.7 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 7.2.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Partners do hereby acknowledge and agree that the Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to make Partnership distributions. Accordingly, the General Partner is hereby authorized and directed to divide other items of income, gain, loss or deduction among the Partners in any reasonable manner so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which the Partnership distributions would otherwise be divided among the Partners pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In general, the Partners anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other items of income, gain, loss or deduction among the Partners so that, after such offsetting special allocations are made, the amount of each Partner’s Capital Account will be, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not a part of this Agreement and all Partnership items had been allocated to the Partners solely pursuant to 7.1 and 7.2 hereof.
7.8 Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury 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 fair market value.
7.9 Other Allocation Rules.
7.9.1 For purposes of determining the Net Income, Net Loss, or any other item allocable to any period, Net Income, Net Loss, and any such other item shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
7.9.2 For federal income tax purposes, every item of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with the allocations under this Article VII.
7.9.3 The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VII and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article VII in reporting their shares of Partnership income and loss for income tax purposes.
7.9.4 It is intended that the allocations in this Article VII effect an allocation for federal income tax purposes consistent with Section 704 of the Code and comply with any limitations or restrictions therein. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article VII, the General Partner is authorized to make any allocations required by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1 or 1.704-2.
7.10 General Partner’s Aggregate Interest. Subject to the Regulatory Allocations, and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Article VII, the aggregate interest of the General Partner in the Partnership shall equal at least 1% of each material item of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
ARTICLE VIII
DISTRIBUTIONS
8.1 Distributable Cash. At such times as are determined by the General Partner, the Partnership shall make a distribution to the Partners of Distributable Cash in an amount sufficient to enable them to pay income taxes on the Net Income allocated to them by the Partnership (the “Tax Payment Distribution”). The amount of the Tax Payment Distribution to which a Partner is entitled for any year shall be the amount determined by multiplying (A) the percentage equal to the highest federal income tax rate applicable generally to individuals in respect of such year plus seven (7) percentage points times (B) the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Partner through the end of such year, reduced by all cumulative Net Losses allocated to such Partner through the end of such year. Such amount shall then be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any Tax
Payment Distributions previously made to such Partner with respect to such year, with the result being each Partner’s unpaid Tax Payment Distribution.
8.2 Available Cash. The Partnership shall distribute Available Cash to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentages. Available Cash will be distributed to the Partners within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, or more frequently as determined by the General Partner.
8.3 Liquidating Proceeds. Upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, the Partnership’s property (i.e., the proceeds of liquidation and any unliquidated Partnership assets) shall be applied (i) first to the payment of all unpaid debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including the Note, as such terms are defined below), including any loans from Partners, and the setting up or replacing of reserves deemed necessary for any anticipated, contingent or unforeseen liabilities of the Partnership, (ii) then to the payment of amounts, if any, required pursuant to the terms of that certain Participation Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1994, by and between the Partnership and RBC Enterprises, Inc., the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (the “Participation Agreement”), and (iii) then any remaining assets will be distributed to the Partners with positive Capital Account balances after Capital Accounts have been adjusted to reflect the allocation of gain or loss attributable to such liquidation (whether or not such gain or loss has been recognized for federal income tax purposes) in proportion to such positive Capital Account balances.
ARTICLE IX

14.1.1 By the express will of all Partners; or
14.1.2 By the retirement, withdrawal or disqualification of a Partner or Partners (unless the remaining Partners elect to continue the Partnership); or

ARTICLE XV
WINDING UP OF PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS
15.1 Upon dissolution of the Partnership for any reason, the Partnership immediately shall commence to wind-up its affairs. During such wind-up period, the allocations of Net Income, Net Losses and other items shall continue in the same proportions as before the dissolution. A reasonable period of time shall be allowed for the orderly termination of the Partnership’s business, discharge of its liabilities and
distribution or liquidation of the remaining assets so as to enable the Partnership to minimize the normal losses attendant to the liquidation process. A full accounting of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership shall be taken and a statement thereof shall be furnished to each Partner within thirty (30) days after the dissolution. Such accounting and statements shall be prepared under the direction of the General Partner or, if the General Partner is disqualified, by a liquidating trustee selected by the Limited Partner. The Partnership property and assets and/or the proceeds from the liquidation thereof shall be applied in the following order of priority.
(a) Payment of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership, in the order of priority provided by law (but excluding any loans by the Partners to the Partnership, but including the Note) and payment of the expenses of liquidation;
(b) Setting up of such reserves as the General partner or liquidating trustee may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or any obligation or liability not then due and payable; provided, however, that any such reserve shall be paid over by the General Partner or liquidating trustee to an escrow agent, to be held by such escrow agent for the purpose of disbursing such reserves in payment of such liabilities, and, at the expiration of such escrow period as the General Partner or liquidating trustee shall deem advisable, to distribute the balance thereafter remaining in the manner hereinafter provided;
(c) Payment, on a pro rata basis, of any loans or debts owned to Partners (other than the Note, which shall be paid pursuant to Section 15.1(a));
(d) Payment to the Partners, on a pro rata basis, of the remaining positive balances of their Capital Accounts;
(e) Distribution, on a pro rata basis, to the Partners of the remaining assets and properties of the Partnership and/or payment to the Partners of the proceeds of the sale thereof in accordance with their Percentages.
15.2 No Action for Dissolution. The Partners acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Partnership if any Partner should bring an action in court to dissolve the Partnership. This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide fair treatment of all parties and equitable payments in liquidation of the interests
of all Partners. Accordingly, each Partner hereby waives and renounces his right to initiate legal action to seek dissolution, or to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the Partnership.
15.3 No Further Claim. Upon dissolution, each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of his investment and if the Partnership’s property remaining after payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership, including debts and liabilities owed to one or more of the Partners, is insufficient to return the aggregate capital contributions of each Limited Partner, such Limited Partners shall have no recourse against the General Partner or any other Limited Partner.
ARTICLE XVI
