Regulatory Allocations), the Board shall make such offsetting special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, eachMember’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant toSection 3.4. In exercising its discretion under this Section 3.7, the Board shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 3.5(a) and 3.5(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other RegulatoryAllocations previously made under Sections 3.5(c) and 3.5(d).

(c) To the extent a taxing authority successfully asserts that any deduction claimed by a Member in such Member’s capacity as otherthan a Member of the Company is properly allowed to the Company (and not to the Member in its capacity as other than a Member), then the Member shall be treated as having made a Capital Contribution in the amount of such deduction, and shall bespecially allocated such deduction in such amount. 

(d) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of theallocations made by Article III of the Agreement and hereby agree to be bound by such provisions in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes. 

(e) Solely for purpose of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of theCompany within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in the Company’s profits shall be such Member’s Percentage Interest. 

(f) To the extent permitted by Regulation Section 1.704-2(h)(3), the Board shall endeavor to treat distributions as having been madefrom the proceeds of a nonrecourse liability or a partner nonrecourse debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase a deficit in an Adjusted Capital Account for any Member.

(a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to anyproperty 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 andits initial Gross Asset Value. 

 

14 

(b) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to clauses(i), (ii), or (iii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal incometax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. 

(c) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board. Allocations pursuant to thisSection 3.8 are solely for purposes of U.S. 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 Profits, Losses, other items, or distributionspursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 

3.10 Tax Withholding. 

(a) The Company shall withhold and/or pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority all taxes orwithholdings, and all interest, penalties, additions to tax, and similar liabilities in connection therewith or attributable thereto (hereinafter “Withheld Taxes”) to the extent that the Tax Matters Member in good faith determinesthat such withholding and/or payment is required by the Code or any other law, rule, or regulation. The Tax Matters Member in good faith shall determine to which Member such Withheld Taxes are attributable. For example, Withheld Taxes measured withrespect to a Member’s distributive share of the Company’s income, gain, or other Company item would be attributable to such Member. All Withheld Taxes withheld and/or paid over that are attributable to a Member shall, at the option of thatMember (or the Tax Matters Member if the Member fails to exercise such option), (i) be promptly paid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf such advances of Withheld Taxes were made or (ii) be considered a loan (a“Withholding Loan”) by the Company to such Member. Whenever the option set forth in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is selected, the borrowing Member shall repay such Withholding Loan within *** after the TaxMatters Member delivers a written demand therefor, together with interest from the date such loan was made until the date of the repayment thereof at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the prime interest rate of JPMorganChase & Co. (or its successor) in effect during such period (or, if less, the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law). In addition to any other rights of the Company to enforce its right to receive payment of the WithholdingLoan, plus any accrued interest thereon, the Company may deduct from any distribution to be made to a borrowing Member or any amount available for distribution to a borrowing Member an amount not greater than the outstanding balance of anyWithholding Loan, plus any accrued interest thereon, as a payment in total or partial satisfaction thereof. In the event that the Company deducts the amount of the Withholding Loan plus any accrued interest thereon from any actual distribution oramount otherwise available to be distributed, the amount that was so deducted shall be treated as an actual distribution to the borrowing Member for all purposes of this Agreement and the Member shall be treated as having repaid to the Company theamount withheld immediately after such distribution in satisfaction of the loan. With respect to any amounts not offset pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the maturity of such Withholding Loan shall be the dissolution of the Company or*** after the delivery of a written demand for satisfaction of the loan by the Tax Matters Member. 

 

15 

(b) If any amount payable to the Company is reduced because the Person paying that amountwithholds and/or pays over to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority any amount as a result of the status of a Member, the Tax Matters Member shall make such adjustments to amounts distributed and allocated among Membersas it determines to be fair and equitable. For example, if a portion of interest income earned by the Company is withheld by the payor and paid over to the Internal Revenue Service because a particular Member is a non-U.S. Person, the Tax MattersMember shall include such withheld and paid over amount in computing amounts available for distribution to the Members pursuant to Section 3.2 and treat such withheld and paid over amount as if that amount were distributed to the Member insatisfaction of whose tax liability such amount was withheld and paid over. 

3.11 Successors in Interest. If a MemberTransfers all or part of its Interest, references in this Article III to amounts previously contributed by such Member or to amounts previously allocated or distributed to such Member shall refer to the transferee to the extent they pertain to theTransferred Interest.

The determination of such investment bank shall beconclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. Each Exchanging Member’s pro rata share of the Exchange Value shall then be divided by the 20-day volume weighted average closing price per share of HTI’s common stock during the 20-daytrading period immediately prior to the issuance of HTI shares in the exchange to determine the number of shares of common stock of HTI to be issued to each Exchanging Member in exchange for all of its Units; provided however that no ExchangingMember or its Affiliates shall itself or through any third party, directly or indirectly, take any action or encourage any third party to take any action designed to impact the price of HTI’s common stock during such period. HTI shall issuesuch shares of common stock to the Exchanging Members within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the Assessment, subject to the documentation requirements and other requirements and conditions set forth in Section 8.6A below.

Solely to the extent such sharesof HTI common stock are not saleable in their entirety within *** of completion of the Exchange by any such Exchanging Member under Rule 144, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the

 

37 

Securities Act, HTI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register such shares of common stock for resale on a “shelf” registration statement within *** completion ofthe Exchange, and (ii) cause such registration statement to remain effective, subject to customary limitations, for a period of *** months following the date such registration statement is declared effective.
