that generated such Recapture (or other items of deduction that generated such
Recapture) allowable with respect to the Venture property being sold theretofore
allocated to all Venturers provided, however, that under no circumstances shall
there
A-4
be allocated to any Venturer Recapture in excess of the Gain from a Capital
Transaction allocated to such Venturer (and such excess shall be allocated
instead to the other Venturers).
II. ALLOCATIONS TO CONFORM TO TARGET CAPITAL ACCOUNTS.
If the Capital Account of a Venturer at the end of any fiscal year as
determined by the application of Article I and III differs from that Venturer's
Target Capital Account, the allocations provided for in Article I of this
Appendix shall be modified so that each Venturer's Capital Account shall
equal its Target Capital Account. Modification pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be subject to the requirements that (i) the ceiling rule as
set forth in Code Section 1.704-1(a)(2) as it may be applied by the Internal
Revenue Service will not be violated and (ii) the provisions of Article III of
this Appendix may not be violated. Subject to the foregoing, the modifications
required hereunder shall be made by first reallocating Net Income or Net Loss,
as the case may be, and then Gain from a Capital Transaction and next by
reallocating Depreciation and then, if necessary, by reallocating Items of
Net Income and Net Loss but the allocation of Non-recourse Deductions in Article
I shall not be modified.
III. EXCEPTIONS.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Appendix, the
following shall apply:
1. GENERAL LIMITATION: No allocation shall be made to a Venturer which
would cause such Venturer to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital
Account which exceeds the sum of such Venturer's share of Partnership Minimum
Gain and such Venturer's Share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Partnership
Nonrecourse Debt and, in the case of the Xxxxxxx
A-5
Venturers and HIG, the deficit balance in their Capital Accounts that they are
obligated to restore.
2. VENTURER NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS: Any and all items of Net Loss and
deduction and any and all expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the
Code (or treated as expenditures so described pursuant to Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) of the Regulations) (collectively, "Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions") that are (in accordance with the principles set forth in Section
1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(h)(3) of the Regulations) attributable to Partner Nonrecourse
Debt shall be allocated to the Venturer that bears the Economic Risk of Loss for
such Partner Nonrecourse Debt. If more than one Venturer bears such Economic
Risk of Loss, such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated between or
among such Venturers in accordance with the ratios in which they share such
Economic Risk of Loss.
3. VENTURE MINIMUM GAIN: If there is a net decrease in Partnership
Minimum Gain for any fiscal year of the Venture, there shall be allocated to
each Venturer for such fiscal year, before any other allocation is made of
Venture items under Article I or Article II of this Appendix, items of income
and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in proportion
to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the greater of: (1) the portion of
such Venturer's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during
such fiscal year that is allocable (in accordance with the principles set forth
in Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(e)(2) of the Regulations) to the sale or other
disposition of Venture property subject to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities
of the Venture; or (2) the deficit balance in such Venturer's Adjusted Capital
Account at the end of such fiscal year (other than a deficit balance that such
Venturer is obligated to restore). The amount of such deficit balance which
needs to be eliminated shall
A-6
be reduced by the amount of such Venturer's share of Partnership Minimum Gain
and such Venturer's share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse
Debt (computed, in each case, by reference to the amount of Partnership Minimum
Gain and Minimum Gain Attributable to Partnership Nonrecourse Debt after taking
into account any changes thereto during such fiscal year). Items of income and
gain to be allocated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3
shall consist first of gains recognized from the disposition of items of Venture
property subject to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Venture to the
extent of the decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain attributable to the
disposition of such items of Venture property (or a proportionate share of each
such gain if such gains exceed the amount of income and gain required to be
allocated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph for such fiscal
year), and then of a pro rata portion of the other items of Venture income and
gain for that year.
4. MINIMUM GAIN ATTRIBUTABLE TO PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEBT: If there is,
for any fiscal year of the Venture, a net decrease in the Minimum Gain
Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt, there shall be allocated to each
Venturer that has a share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse
Debt at the beginning of such fiscal year before any other allocation under
Section 704(b) of the Code is made pursuant to this Appendix (other than an
allocation required pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of this Article of
this Appendix) items of income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary,
for subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to
the greater of: (i) the portion of such Venturer's share of the net decrease in
the Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt that is allocable (in
accordance with the principles set forth in Section 1.704- 1T(b)(4)(iv)(h)(4) of
the Regulations) to the sale or other disposition of Venture property subject
A-7
to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt; or (2) the deficit balance in such Venturer's
Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such fiscal year (other than a deficit
balance that such Venture is obligated to restore). The amount of such deficit
balance which needs to be eliminated shall be reduced by the amount of such
Venturer's Share of Partnership Minimum Gain and such Venturer's Share of
Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt (computed, in each case,
by reference to the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and Minimum Gain
Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt after taking into account any changes
thereto during such fiscal year). The determination of which items of income and
gain to be allocated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph of
this Section shall be made in a manner that is consistent with the principles
contained in Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(e)(2) of the Regulations.
5. QUALIFIED INCOME OFFSET: In the event any Venturer unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) of the Regulations (modified, as
appropriate, by Sections 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(e)(3) and (h)(4) of the
Regulations), there shall be specially allocated to such Venturer such items of
Venture income and gain, at such times and in such amounts as will eliminate as
quickly as possible the deficit balance (if any) in its Capital Account (in
excess of the sum of such Venturer's share of Partnership Minimum Gain, such
Venturer's share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt and
the deficit balance that such Venturer is obligated to restore) created by such
adjustments, allocations or distributions.
6. For purposes of this Article the Venture shall take into account (1)
the sum of its share of Nonrecourse Deductions of El Conquistador Partnership
L.P. (which in this paragraph shall include any other partnership in which it
owns an interest) and distributions to
A-8
it of the Proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that are allocable to an increase
in the Partnership Minimum Gain of El Conquistador Partnership, (2) its share of
any net decrease in the Partnership Minimum Gain of El Conquistador Partnership
L.P., (3) its share of any net decrease in the Partnership Minimum Gain of El
Conquistador Partnership L.P. that is allocable to the disposition of property
of the El Conquistador Partnership subject to one or more Nonrecourse
Liabilities of El Conquistador Partnership L.P., (4) distributions to it by El
Conquistador Partnership L.P. of the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that
are allocable to an increase in the Partnership Minimum Gain of EL Conquistador
Partnership L.P., (5) its share of El Conquistador Partnership L.P. Nonrecourse
Deductions, (6) its share of liabilities of El Conquistador Partnership L.P. all
in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-IT(b)(4)(iv)(j). This Section is intended to implement the provisions of
Regulations Section 1.704-IT and shall be implemented accordingly.
IV. SPECIAL ALLOCATION RULES AND VENTURE ELECTIONS.
1. Income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property contributed
to the Venture by a Venturer (and with respect to other circumstances for which
Treas. Reg. 'ss' 1.704-1(b) requires Code Section 704(c) principles to be
applied) shall be allocated among the Venturers for tax purposes so as to take
account of the variation between the basis (within the meaning of Section 704(c)
of the Code) of the property to the Venture and its fair market value at the
time of contribution (or the variation between the basis and value or applicable
Capital Account at the time the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code are to
be applied).
2. In the event a Venturer transfers all or part of its interest in the
Venture, or in the event an interest in the Venture, or in the event an interest
in a Venturer that itself is a
A-9
venture is transferred, the Venture shall, upon request of the transferee,
elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of the property
owned by the Venture in accordance with Section 743 of the Code.
3. The Venture shall elect the straight line method of depreciation and
the shortest permissible recovery periods (within the meaning of Section 168 of
the Code) with respect to the Resort.
4. Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, all other elections
required or permitted to be made by the Venture under the Code shall be made by
mutual agreement of all the Venturers.

defined) to the capital of the Venture in cash, in such amounts and at
such time or times as shall be determined by the Committee or as set
