Section 9.2(c). to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such 

Member's share of "partnership minimum gain" and "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain" 

(as such terms are Llsed in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2), computed immediately prior to 

the hypothetical sale of assets.

the "qualitied income offset" provisions in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b )(2)(ii)( d) and

such allocation, then any Net Loss (or item thereof) not allocable to any such Member(s) as a 

result of such limitation shall be allocated (subject to such limitation) to the other Member so as 

to allocate the maximum permissible Net Loss to each Member under Treasury Regulation 

Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

Manager taking proper account of the effective date of the applicable Law or registration 

requirement that is the basis tor the withdrawal or other remedy provided herein and the need of 

the Manager tor a reasonable period of time to tind a solution to the illegality or requirement for 

divestiture. Such illegality or registration requirement must be established by (x) an opinion of 

counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Manager and the Initial Member) 

substantially to the effect that the ownership of the LLC Interest more likely than not will result 

in such illegality or requirement for registration or divestiture or (y) upon a ruling or order from
