(a) The initial balance of the Capital Account of a Member shall give effect to the Capital Contribution made by such Member as of the date of adoption of this Agreement.

(b) The balance of the Capital Account of a Member shall thereafter be increased as follows:

(i) Such balance shall be increased by the amount of any Capital Contribution made by such Member. Such increase occurs at the time of the Capital Contribution.

(ii) Such balance shall be increased by the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Managers and approved by all the Members) of any other asset (other than cash) and the taxable amount of any services contributed to the Company by such Member, reduced by the amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by such property. Such increase occurs at the time of the contribution.

(iii) Such balance shall be increased by the Net Income allocated to a Member pursuant to Sections 7.3 and 7.4 (or items of income and gain comprising such Net Income). Such increase occurs at the end of the taxable year.

(i) Such balance shall be decreased by the amount of cash distributed to such Member by the Company. Such decrease occurs at the time of the distribution.

(ii) Such balance shall be decreased by the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Managers and approved by all the Members) of any property distributed to such Member by the Company, reduced by the amount of any liabilities of the Company that are assumed by such Member or secured by property of the Company distributed to such Member. Such decrease occurs at the time of the distribution.

(iii) Such balance shall be decreased by the Net Loss allocated to a Member pursuant to Sections 7.3 and 7.4 (or items of loss or deduction comprising such Net Loss). Such decrease occurs at the end of the taxable year.

(d) In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of paragraph (b) or (c) above, there shall be taken into account section 752(c) and any other applicable provision of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts and the computation of the balances thereof shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b) and Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2. If the Board of Managers determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the balances of the Capital Accounts are computed in order to comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b) and Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2, the Board of Managers may make such modification, provided that it does not have an effect on the amount distributable to any Member (or the time at which any such distribution is to be made) upon the winding up of the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION .2 Net Income and Net Loss. As used herein, the terms “Net Income” and “Net Loss” mean, for each taxable year or other relevant period, the taxable income or loss of the Company for such year or period determined in accordance with section 703(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (including items required to be separately stated pursuant to section 703(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code), subject to the following adjustments:

(a) Any income or deductions for tax purposes attributable to an election under section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code shall be disregarded;

(b) There shall be added to taxable income or loss the amount of any receipt that is permanently excluded from gross income or is exempt from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code, but which is not a capital contribution, loan proceed, recovery of capital or part of a non-recognition exchange;

(c) There shall be subtracted from taxable income or loss any expenditure of the Company that is not currently deductible nor capitalized for tax purposes (which expenditures are described in section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code);

(d) To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Company pursuant to section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Internal Revenue Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as Net Income of the Company (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or Net Loss of the Company (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the asset);

(e) In accordance with Treasury Regulation §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), depreciation, amortization, and gain or loss shall be computed by reference to the book value, rather than the tax basis, of the assets of the Company, in the manner set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). For these purposes, the initial book value of property of the Company will equal (i) in the case of property contributed by a Member to the Company, the fair market value of such property on the date of contribution as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.7041(b)(2)(iv)(d), (ii) in the case of property that is revalued pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the fair market value of such property on the date of revaluation and (iii) in all other cases, the tax basis of such property; and

(f) In the event that the Board of Managers elects, pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), to adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members to reflect a revaluation of the book value of property of the Company upon the occurrence of one of the events specified in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5), any increase or reduction in the book value of property of the Company shall be treated as gain or loss, respectively, for purposes of computing Net Income or Net Loss.

SECTION .3 General Allocations. Except as provided in Section 7.4 Net Income and Net Loss of the Company for each fiscal year shall be allocated to the Members in an amount equal to the distributions made to such Members pursuant to Section 6.1. Special Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, the following special allocations shall be made in the order of priority set forth below.

(a) If there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain,” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(b)(2) and determined under Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(d), during any fiscal year (“Minimum Gain”), each Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain of the Company for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(g). Allocations made pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto, and the items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(f)(6).

(b) If there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain (as defined below) attributable to a “partner nonrecourse debt,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(b)(4) (“Member Nonrecourse Debt”), during any fiscal year, each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of income and gain of the Company for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 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 Member pursuant thereto, and the items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). For purposes of this Section 7.4(b), “Member Minimum Gain” means an amount, with respect to each Member Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Minimum Gain that would result if such Member Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a Nonrecourse Liability, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(3).

(c) In the event that any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of income and gain of the Company shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate (to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations) as quickly as possible any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (as defined below) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.4(c) shall be made only if, and to the extent that, such Member would have had an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit if all other allocations provided for in Section 7.4 had been tentatively made as if this Section 7.4(c) were not a part of this Agreement. For these purposes, “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means the deficit balance, if any, in the Capital Account of a Member as of the end of the applicable fiscal year after (i) crediting thereto any amounts which such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement or Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation §§ 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and (ii) debiting to such Capital Account the amounts described in Treasury Regulation §§ 1.7041 (b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6). The foregoing definition is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(b)(1) and as determined under Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(c)) shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner that Net Loss is allocated pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof.

(e) Any item of Company loss, deduction, or expenditure described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, that is attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to those Members that bear the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, and among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such economic risk determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-2(i).

(f) To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Company pursuant to section 734(b) or section 743(b) of the Internal Revenue Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, Net Income or Net Loss resulting from such adjustment shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the adjustments to their Capital Accounts required pursuant to such section of the Treasury Regulations.

(g) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (c) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VII, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other Net Income and Net Loss and other items of income and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and the allocations of other Net Income and Net Loss, and items of income and deductions to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

SECTION .4 Allocations of Tax Incidents.

(a) Except as otherwise provided below, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company as computed for federal, state and local tax purposes, shall be allocated for such purposes among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit was allocated pursuant to Sections 7.3 and 7.4 for book purposes.

(b) In accordance with section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation at the time of contribution between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value. For these purposes, property of the Company that is revalued pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) shall be deemed contributed to the Company at the time of such revaluation. Allocations made pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, the Capital Account of any Member or its share of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or distributions of the Company pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(c) As between a transferor and transferee of any Membership Interests, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit attributable to the transferred Membership Interests shall, for tax purposes, be allocated among the transferor and transferee as if the books of the Company were closed on the date of the transfer and (i) all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit attributable to the period ending on or before the date of the transfer shall be allocated to the transferor and (ii) all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit attributable to the period beginning on the day after the date of the transfer shall be allocated to the transferee.

appeal, inquiry or investigation being hereinafter referred to as a “Proceeding”), in which such Covered Person was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent as a result of or based upon his or its status as a Covered Person or any action or omission taken by him or it in his or its capacity as such, regardless of whether any of said losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements or expenses resulted from the negligence or other fault of such Covered Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Covered Person shall be indemnified and held harmless unless a determination is made in accordance with paragraph (c) below that such Covered Person (i) conducted himself or itself in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed that his or its conduct was in the best interests of the Company (in the case of conduct by a Covered Person in his or its official capacity) or at least not opposed to the best interests of the Company (in all other cases) and (iii) in the case of a criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or its conduct was unlawful.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) above, in the case of a Proceeding in which a Covered Person is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the Covered Person, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in his or its official capacity, or is found liable to the Company or is found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his or its duty to the Company, the indemnification provided under paragraph (a) above shall not apply. A Covered Person shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of any claim, issue or matter only after the Covered Person shall have been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction

(c) A determination that the requirements for indemnification of a Covered Person pursuant to paragraph (a) above have been satisfied shall be made as follows:

(i) by determination of all the Members who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding;

(ii) if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by determination of all the Members designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of all Managers, consisting solely of two or more Managers who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding;

(iii) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Managers or a committee of the Board of Managers by vote as set forth in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, or if such quorum cannot be obtained and such committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of all Managers; or

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall pay or reimburse, in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding and without the determination specified in paragraph (c) above, reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorney’s fees) incurred by a Covered Person who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding because of his or its status as a Covered Person, after the Company receives a written affirmation by such Covered Person of his or its good faith belief that he or it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the Texas Act and this Agreement and a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that such Covered Person has not met such standard or if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of the Covered Person against expenses incurred in connection with the Proceeding is prohibited under paragraph (a) above. The written undertaking required by the preceding sentence must be an unlimited general obligation of the Covered Person but need not be secured. It may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 11.3, the Company may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a Covered Person in connection with his or its appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when he or it is not a named defendant or respondent in such Proceeding.

(g) The Company may indemnify and advance expenses to Person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Manager, officer, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company or corporation, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to Covered Persons under this Section 11.3.

(h) Any indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 11.3 shall be satisfied solely out of the property and assets of the Company, including insurance. In no event may a Covered Person subject any Member to personal liability by reason of this Section 11.3.

(i) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in this Section 11.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which a Covered Person may be entitled pursuant to any contract or agreement or any approval of the Board of Managers or Members or as a matter of law, whether with respect to an action of a Covered Person in his capacity as such or in any other capacity, and shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of a Covered Person.

(j) To the fullest extent permitted by law, a Covered Person shall not be denied indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 11.3 solely on the grounds that such Covered Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction is one otherwise permitted to be carried out by the terms of this Agreement.

(k) Any indemnification of or advancement of expenses to a Covered Person in accordance with this Section 11.3 shall be reported in writing to the Members with or before the notice or waiver of notice of the next meeting of the Members or with or before the next submission to Members of a consent to action without a meeting and, in any case, within the 12-month period immediately following the date of the indemnification or advancement.

(l) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any Covered Person or any Person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Manager, officer, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company or corporation, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or it and incurred by him or it in such a capacity or arising out of his or its status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or it against that liability under this Section 11.3. If the insurance or other arrangement is with a Person that is not regularly engaged in the business of providing insurance coverage, the insurance or arrangement may provide for payment of a liability with respect to which the Company would not have the power to indemnify the Person only if including coverage for the additional liability has been approved by the Members. Without limiting the power of the Company to procure or maintain any kind of insurance or other arrangement, the Company may, for the benefit of Persons indemnified by the Company, (i) create a trust fund, (ii) establish any form of self-insurance, (iii) secure its indemnity obligation by grant of a security interest or other lien on the assets of the Company or (iv) establish a letter of credit, guaranty, or surety arrangement. The insurance or other arrangement may be procured, maintained, or established within the Company or with any insurer or other person deemed appropriate by the Board of Managers regardless of whether all or part of the stock or other securities of the insurer or other person are owned in whole or part by the Company. In the absence of fraud, the judgment of the Board of Managers as to the terms and conditions of the insurance or other arrangement and the identity of the insurer or other Person participating in an arrangement shall be conclusive and the insurance or arrangement shall not be voidable and shall not subject the Managers approving the insurance or arrangement to liability, on any ground, regardless of whether the Managers participating in the approval are beneficiaries of the insurance or arrangement.

(m) The agreements contained in this Section 11.3 shall survive any winding up and termination of the Company.

(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.3, any rights of any Covered Person to any payments or contributions and the obligation of the Company to comply with the terms hereof are expressly subordinate to payment of any and all amounts required to be paid and performance of any and all obligations required to be performed under and pursuant to any of the Lender Loan Documentation.
