(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year in an amount equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 4.2(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(ii) Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If during a Fiscal Year there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, any Partner with a share of that Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the year shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for succeeding years) in an amount equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 4.2(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(iii) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-l(b)(2)(n)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.2(b(iii) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.2(b)(iii) were not in this Agreement. This allocation is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3) and shall be construed in accordance with the requirements thereof.
8
(iv) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(l) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4,2(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been made as if Sections 4.2(b)(iii) and 4.2(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.
(v) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(vi) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).
4.3 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 4.1(b) and 4.2 hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to the general rules of Section 4.1. In exercising its discretion under this Section 4.3, the Partners shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 4.2(b)(i) and 4.2(b)(ii) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 4.2(b)(v) and 4.2(b)(iv).
9
4.4 Other Allocation Rules.
(a) For purposes of determining the profits, losses, or any other items allocable to any period, profits, losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Partners using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(b) The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 4 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 4 in reporting their shares of Partner income and loss for income tax purposes.
(c) Solely for purposes of determining a Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Treasury Regulations, the Partners’ interests in Partnership profits are in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
4.5 Distributions. Subject to Section 4.8, the Partnership shall make all distributions in accordance with the Partners’ Percentage Interests and at such times and in such amounts as determined by the General Partner. All distributions pursuant to this Article 4 shall be treated as a distribution of Net Profits to the extent thereof as of the date of distribution. Subject to Section 3.4, each of the following shall be treated as a return of the Partners' Capital Contributions: (a) any distribution in excess of Net Profits; (b) any distribution in full or partial redemption of a Partner's Interest; and, to the extent determined by the General Partner, (c) any payment by the Partnership of Class S Offering Expenses.
4.6 Tax Withholdings. To the extent the Partnership is required by federal, state or local law or any tax treaty to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner, the Partnership shall withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. The amount of such payments shall constitute an advance by the Partnership to such Partner and shall be repaid to the Partnership by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Partner or, if such proceeds are insufficient, such Partner shall pay to the Partnership the amount of such insufficiency.
4.7 Other Advances. To the extent the Partnership pays any Class S Offering Expenses on behalf of or with respect to any Partner, the amount of such payments shall constitute an advance by the Partnership to such Partner and shall be repaid to the Partnership by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Partner. Alternatively, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, treat such advance as a return of capital pursuant to Section 4.5(c), above.
4.8 Limitation Upon Distributions. No distribution shall be declared and paid unless, if after the distribution is made, the value of assets of the Partnership would exceed the liabilities of the Partnership, except liabilities to the Partners on account of their Capital Contributions.
10
4.9 Tax Matters Partner.
(a) RW Holdings NNN REIT, Inc. will be treated as the initial tax matters partner of the Partnership pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. Subject to Treasury Regulations adopted under the Code, the tax matters partner shall, without the necessity of consent of the other Partners, have discretion in its capacity as tax matters partner to make such decisions and take such actions, including the institution of legal proceedings and the determination of the legal forum, as it deems appropriate in such capacity. The Partners, by written consent of the Partners, shall be entitled to substitute another Partner to serve as tax matters partner. In such event, (i) the Partner who is designated “tax matters partner” shall take such action as may be necessary to cause each other Partner to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) the Partner who is designated “tax matters partner” shall inform each other Partner of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as “tax matters partner” by giving notice thereof on or before the fifth business day after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each other Partner copies of all significant written communications it may receive in that capacity and (iii) the Partner who is designated “tax matters partner” may not take any action contemplated by Sections 6222 through 6232 of the Code without the consent of all of the Partners; provided, however, such Partner is not authorized to take any action left to the determination of an individual Partner under Section 6222 through 6232 of the Code or any similar state or local provision.
(b) Title XI of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, H.R. 1314, Public Law Number 114-74 (the “Budget Act”), provides that effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, there will be extensive changes to the manner in which the IRS audits and collects taxes with respect to partners and their partnerships. Unless otherwise agreed by the Partners, the Tax Matters Member designated in subsection (a) above shall be the “partnership’s representative” (or designate such if it is not able to serve) under the new rules and the Partners will work together to apply the new rules in a manner consistent with this Agreement. To the extent not inconsistent with the Budget Act, the partnership’s representative shall continue to have all rights and powers delegated to the “Tax Matters Member” under this Agreement after the Partnership applies the Budget Act new rules.
4.10 Compliance with Code and Treasury Regulations. The allocation and distribution provisions set forth in this Article 4 are intended to apply in a manner consistent with the provisions of Sections 704 and 706 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated for those Sections. The Partners shall have the reasonable discretion to apply the allocation and distribution provisions set forth in this Article 4 in any manner consistent with Sections 704 and 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. The Partners agree to make such amendments to this Agreement as are necessary to maintain such compliance.

5.2 Limitation on Liability.

6.9 Approval and Meetings.
(a) Actions and decisions requiring Approval of the Partners may be authorized or made either by vote of the required Partners taken at a meeting of the required Partners or by written consent of same without a meeting.

DISSOLUTION
9.1 Causes. The Partnership shall be dissolved on the first to occur of any of the following events, and each Partner hereby expressly waives any right that it might otherwise have to dissolve the Partnership:
(a) The Bankruptcy death, disability, declaration of incompetence or any other occurrence that would legally disqualify the last remaining General Partner from acting under this Agreement;
(b) The retirement, resignation or withdrawal from the Partnership by the last remaining General Partner;
(c) The execution by all the Partners of an instrument dissolving the Partnership; or
(d) An event requiring such action under the Act.
Nothing contained in this Section 9.1 is intended to grant to a Partner the right to dissolve the Partnership at will (by retirement, resignation, withdrawal or otherwise), or to exonerate a Partner from liability to the Partnership and the remaining Partners if that Partner dissolves the Partnership at will. A dissolution at will of the Partnership is in contravention of this Agreement for purposes of the Act or any successor statute.
9.2 Reconstitution. If dissolution of the Partnership results from the occurrence of an event described in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) , then the Partnership may be reconstituted and its business continued pursuant to the Act. If a reconstitution is completed, an appropriate amendment to this Agreement and, if necessary, to the Certificate shall be executed and, in the case of the Certificate, if necessary, appropriately filed of record. The rights of the remaining Partners after reconstitution, and the rights and liabilities of any Partner wrongfully dissolving the Partnership in contravention of this Agreement, shall be as provided for under the laws of the State of Delaware.
16
9.3 Interim Manager. If the Partnership is dissolved as a result of an event described in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b), the Limited Partners, by the Approval of the Limited Partners, may appoint an interim manager of the Partnership, who shall have and may exercise all the rights, powers and duties of the General Partner under this Agreement, until (i) the new General Partner is elected pursuant to Section 6.8, if the Partnership is reconstituted pursuant to Section 9.2 or (ii) a Liquidator is appointed pursuant to Section 10.1 if the Partnership is not reconstituted.
Article

WINDING UP AND TERMINATION
10.1 General.
(a) Selection of Liquidator. If the Partnership is dissolved as a result of an event described in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) and is not reconstituted, then the Limited Partners, by the Approval of the Limited Partners, shall, subject to Section 10.1(b), select a party to begin to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and to liquidate and sell its assets, all pursuant to the Act. If the Partnership is dissolved pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), the General Partner shall begin to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and to liquidate and sell its assets, all pursuant to the Act. The party or parties actually conducting the liquidation in accordance with the foregoing sentences are herein referred to as the “Liquidator.”
(b) Duties; Qualifications. The Liquidator (if other than a General Partner) shall have sufficient business expertise and competence to conduct the winding up and termination of the Partnership and, in the course thereof, to cause the Partnership to perform any existing or future Partnership contractual obligations. The Liquidator shall determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Property in liquidation, having due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions.
(c) Compensation. The Liquidator is entitled to receive reasonable compensation for its services, as agreed upon by the Liquidator and the General Partner, if any, and as Approved by the Partners.
(d) Amendment to Certificate. At the request of a Liquidator who is not a General Partner, the Certificate shall be amended as permitted by the Act.
(e) Resignation, Removal, Succession. The Liquidator may resign at any time by giving fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written notice of removal Approved by the Partners. On the death, dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) will, within thirty (30) days thereafter, be Approved by the Partners, evidenced by written appointment and acceptance. The right to appoint a successor substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under this Agreement, and every reference herein to the Liquidator refers also to any successor or substituted Liquidator appointed in the manner herein provided. The Liquidator has and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto or their legal representatives or successors in interest, all of the powers conferred by this Agreement upon the General Partner to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to perform its duties and functions. The Liquidator is not liable as a General Partner hereunder to the Limited Partners or to third-party creditors.
17
10.2 Liquidation. In the course of the winding up and termination of the business and affairs of the Partnership, its assets (other than cash) shall be sold, its liabilities and obligations to creditors and all expenses incurred in its liquidation shall be paid and all resulting taxable items shall be allocated as provided in Section 4.1. All Property shall be sold on liquidation of the Partnership, and no Property shall be distributed in kind to the Partners, unless it is distributed in proportion to the amounts that each Partner is due under this Section 10.2. Thereafter, the net proceeds from those sales (after deducting all selling costs and expenses in connection therewith), together with (at the expiration of the one-year period referred to in Section 10.3) the balance in the reserve account referred to in Section 10.3, shall be distributed among the Partners in accordance with their respective positive capital account balances.
The Liquidator shall use all reasonable efforts to effect complete liquidation of the Partnership within one (1) year after the date on which the Partnership is dissolved. Each holder of an Interest shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for all distributions and shall have no recourse therefor (on dissolution or otherwise) against the Partnership or the other Partners. On the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership and the distribution of all funds of the Partnership, the Partnership shall terminate, and the Liquidator shall have the authority to execute and record all documents required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Partnership. Distributions pursuant to this Section 10.2 may be made to a trust established for the benefit of the Partners for the purposes of liquidating the Property, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership and paying contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership.
10.3 Creation of Reserves. After making payment or provision for payment of all fixed and determinable debts and liabilities of the Partnership and all expenses of liquidation, the Liquidator may set up, for a period not to exceed one (1) year after the date of dissolution, the cash reserves that the Liquidator deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership.
10.4 Final Accounting. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation, the Liquidator shall supply to the Partners a statement that shall set forth (i) the assets and the liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of complete liquidation, (ii) the distributions to each Partner pursuant to Section 10.2, and (iii) the amount retained as reserves by the Liquidator pursuant to Section 10.3.
