(b)    Certain Expenditures.  Any expenditures of the Company described in §705(a)(2)(B) of the Code or treated as §705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profits and Net Losses, shall be subtracted from such taxable income or loss.
(c)    Adjustment of Book Value.  If the book value of any Company property is adjusted in accordance with Section 5.7(b) or 5.7(c), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property for purposes of computing Net Profits and Net Losses.
(d)    Sales of Property.  Gain or loss resulting from any sale of Company property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of the asset sold, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such asset differs from its Book Value.

(f)    Adjustments Under §734 or §743 of the Code.  To the extent adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to §734(b) or §743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), 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 Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations.
6.2    General Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses.  After taking into account any special allocations pursuant to Section 6.3 and subject to any limitations contained therein, Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated to the Members, pro rata, based upon their respective Percentage Interests.
6.3    Special Allocations.
(a)    Limitation on Allocation of Items of Loss or Deduction. No Company items of loss or deduction may be allocated to any Member to the extent such allocation would result in an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit balance for such Member.  Any items of loss or deduction that are prohibited to be allocated to a Member under the preceding sentence shall be reallocated among the other Members to whom such limitation does not apply in a manner which will not produce an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to such Members.
(b)    Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated among the Members pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests.
(c)    Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such deductions relate as provided in Regulations §1.704-2(i)(1).  If more than one Member bears the economic risk of loss, such deduction shall be allocated between or among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which such Members share such economic risk of loss.
(d)    Minimum Gain Chargeback.  If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for any year, each Member shall be allocated the next available items of income and gain for such year (and for subsequent years if necessary) equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain as determined in accordance with Regulations §1.704-2(g) and the "minimum gain chargeback" requirement of Regulations §1.704-2(f). If there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt for any year, each Member having a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated the next available items of income and gain for such year (and for subsequent years if necessary) equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt as determined in accordance with Regulations §1.704-2(i)(5) and the "minimum gain chargeback" requirement of Regulations §1.704-2(i)(4).
(e)    Qualified Income Offset. Any Member that unexpectedly receives, with respect to the Company, an adjustment, allocation, or distribution of any item described in subsections (4), (5), or (6) of Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), shall be allocated items of income and gain as quickly as possible, in accordance with the "qualified income offset" rule of Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3), in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustment, allocation or distribution as quickly as possible.
6.4    Tax Allocations.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, items of income, gain, loss and deduction as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the related items of Net Profits and Net Losses, or specially allocated items.  Tax credits shall be allocated in accordance with Regulations §1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).
(b)    In accordance with §704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in any manner permitted by §704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder pursuant to any method determined by the Managers.
(c)    If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.7(b) of this Agreement, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in any manner permitted under §704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder pursuant to any method determined by the Managers.
(d)    Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Net Profits and Net Losses, or other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement
Section 7.    Distributions.
7.1    Distribution.  The Managers may at any time or from time to time, but shall not be under any obligation to, cause the Company to distribute all, or such portion as the Managers may determine, of Available Cash in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and conditions of each class or series of Interests, and in accordance with each Member's respective Percentage Interests of each such class or series of Interests. Except as otherwise agreed by the Managers, distributions payable with respect to any Interests that were not outstanding during the entire period in respect of which any Distribution is made shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Interests were outstanding. 
7.2    Amounts Withheld.  The Managers are authorized on behalf of the Company to withhold from distributions to the Members and to pay over to any federal, state, local or foreign government any amounts that they reasonably determine may be required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any Law.  All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any tax Law regarding taxes with respect to any Distribution to any Member shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to this Section 7 for all purposes under this Agreement or, to the extent that any such tax is not withheld from a distribution, such Member shall promptly reimburse the Company therefor.  If any imputed underpayment (including associated interest, penalties, or additions to tax) is required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code or other applicable Law with respect to income allocable to a Member or former Member, such Member or former Member (and, in the case of a former Member, its transferee) shall promptly (and in any event within ninety (90) days) reimburse the Company therefor.  Any amount due from a Member or a former Member to the Company pursuant to the two preceding sentences shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 2% from the time of payment by the Company of the tax or imputed underpayment to the time of payment by the Member or former Member, and the Company may offset such amounts against distributions or other amounts due from the Company to such Member. A Member’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall continue even if such Member ceases to be a Member.

In the event a ROFO Holder has accepted the offer of the Prospective Selling Member, the Transfer of the Subject Interests shall be consummated within 45 days after the delivery of the Acceptance Notice (provided, that such closing date may be extended by up to 30 days if the ROFO Holder is working in good faith to close the Transfer as promptly as practicable).

Section 13.    Mediation and Arbitration of Disputes.
13.1    Events Giving Rise To Mediation or Arbitration.  In the event that there is a dispute between the Members as to any action or issue, or in the event of a deadlock between the Members, then and in such event all of the Members agree, upon the written request of any one Member, to submit to mediation within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for mediation for the purpose of resolving the dispute.  If mediation is not successful in resolving the dispute; one or more of the Members may elect to have the dispute submitted to binding arbitration as provided in this Section 13 by giving written notice to each of the Members of such Member's election to require arbitration of such dispute.  Said written notice shall set forth (i) the action or issue in dispute and (ii) a brief description of the position of the electing Member with respect to such dispute.
13.2    Selection of Arbitrators.  Within ten (10) days of the date upon which the notice is sent pursuant to Section 10.1, the Members shall meet for the purpose of selecting three (3) Persons to act as arbitrators for the Company for such dispute.  In the event that the Members are unable to agree upon the selection of the arbitrators at such meeting, then within ten (10) days following such meeting, the Member(s) requesting such arbitration shall select one (1) Person to serve as an arbitrator and the remaining Member(s) shall select one (1) Person to serve as an arbitrator and, within five (5) days of the date of their selection, the two Persons so selected shall select a third Person to serve as the third and final arbitrator.  In the event that the Member(s) requesting such arbitration select one such Person within such ten (10) day period, but the remaining Member(s) fails to select one such Person within such ten (10) day period, or vice versa, then the Person selected shall serve as the sole arbitrator and shall make the determination required hereunder.  In the event the two selected arbitrators are unable to agree upon the identity of the Person to serve as the third and final arbitrator, such determination shall be made by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its then-existing rules and regulations.  No Person selected by the Members and/or by the arbitrators may be employed by, doing substantial business with or otherwise affiliated with any of the Members (including, but not limited to, acting as an attorney or accountant for any one or more of the Members or for the Company).
13.3    Arbitration Hearing.  Not later than fifteen (15) days following the selection of the third arbitrator, a hearing shall be convened by the arbitrators at a mutually agreeable site.  At such hearing, each Member shall be entitled to present arguments in favor of and call witnesses in support of such Member's position with respect to the item in dispute; provided, however, that absent a written agreement of the Members to the contrary, presentation and/or arguments (including the direct testimony of any witnesses called by a Member) of each side of the dispute shall be limited to three (3) hours.
13.4    Decision of the Arbitrators/Binding Effect.  The arbitrators shall render their decision regarding the matter in dispute within ten (10) days following the date of the hearing set forth in Section 10.3 hereinabove and said decision shall be final and binding upon the Members and the Company.  Each of the Members hereby covenant and agree that they shall comply with the decision of the arbitrators.
