ARTICLE VI
 
ALLOCATIONS
 

 
Section 6.1 Allocations of Profits and Losses
 
(a) This Section 6.1 sets forth the general rules for both the book allocations to reflect the economic arrangements of the Members and for the tax allocations for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 704(b) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the Company.  The Profits and Losses of the Company shall be allocated with respect to each Fiscal Period as of the end of such Fiscal Period as follows:
 
(i) Profits.  Profits for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Members in amounts proportionate to their respective Percentage Interests.
 
(ii) Losses.  Losses for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Members according to their Percentage Interests, subject to Section 6.4(b).
 
(b) Allocations Override.  Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b), Profits and Losses (or individual items of any of the foregoing) for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated, to the greatest extent possible, among the Members such that the positive balances of the Capital Account of each Member after such allocation will be equal to the amounts that would have been distributed to such Member if the Company liquidated at the end of such Fiscal Period and made liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 7.1.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) no allocation will be made pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) to a Qualified Organization Member (as such term is defined below) that would result in such Qualified Organization Member’s share of Profits for any Fiscal Period exceeding its “fractions rule percentage” as defined in Regulations Section 1.514(c)-2(c)(2), and (ii) no allocation will be made pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) that would cause the Company’s allocations to fail to meet the “substantial economic effect” requirement of Code Section 704(b)(2).  For purposes of this Section 6.1(b), the term “Qualified Organization Member” means a Member that is a “qualified organization” (as such term is defined in Code Section 514(c)(9)(C)) or a Member with respect to which a qualified organization directly or indirectly holds an economic interest (other than through an entity treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes).
 
Section 6.2 Adjustments and Special Allocations.  Any allocation pursuant to Section 6.1 will, however, be subject to any adjustment required to comply with Regulations Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704-2, including, without limitation, the following adjustments and special allocations which shall be made in the following order of priority and prior to any allocation under Section 6.1:
 
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Period, each Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain of the Company for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).  Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto.  The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2).  This Section 6.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
 
(b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Period, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of income and gain of the Company for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).  Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto.  The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2).  This Section 6.2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
 
 
22

 
 
(c) Qualified Income Offset.  If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of income and gain of the Company shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.2(c) were not in this Agreement.
 
(d) Gross Income Allocation.  If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Period or portion thereof in excess of the amount such Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been made as if Section 6.2(c) and this Section 6.2(d) were not in this Agreement.
 
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be specially allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective percentage interests.
 
(f) Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  In accordance with the principles set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), any Member Nonrecourse Deductions of the Company for any Fiscal Period shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with the ratios in which they potentially bear the economic risk of loss with respect to such Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with the Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).
 
(g) Section 754 Adjustments.  To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Asset, pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), upon an election pursuant to Code Section 754, is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to 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 accordance with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
 
 
23

 
 
Section 6.3 Curative Allocations.  The allocations set forth in Sections 6.2(a), 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d), 6.2(e), 6.2(f), 6.2(g) and 6.4 (collectively, the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations.  It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations may be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.3.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations) to the contrary, the Management Board may in its sole discretion make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had the Regulatory Allocations not been part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.
 
Section 6.4 Loss Limitation.
 
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6.1, the Losses allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Period.  Subject to section 6.4(b) in the event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 6.1, the limitation set forth in this Section 6.4 shall be applied on a Member by Member basis in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Member under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
 
(b) In the event that any Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 6.1(b), the amount of losses that would be allocated to such Member but for the application of this Section 6.4(b) shall be allocated to the other Members (in proportion to their Percentage Interests) to the extent that such allocations would not cause such other Members to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.  Any allocation of items of loss pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.1(b), and prior to any allocation of items in such Sections so that the net amount of any items allocated to each Member pursuant to Section 6.1(a), Section 6.1(b) and this Section 6.4(b) shall, to the maximum extent permissible under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.1(a), 6.1(b) and this Section 6.4(b) if such allocation under this Section 6.4(b) had not occurred.
 
Section 6.5 Other Allocation Rules.
 
(a) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or other items allocable to any Fiscal Period, Profits, Losses and such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis as determined by the Management Board in its reasonable discretion using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.  The Management Board, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine which Profits, Losses and such other items are attributable of the Business.
 
(b) The Members are aware of the United States federal income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VI and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article VI in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.
 
 
24

 
 
(c) Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in the Profits are in proportion to their percentage interests in the Company.
 
(d) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be allocated among the Members as determined by the Management Board in its reasonable discretion.
 
(e) If a Member transfers all or a portion of its interest in the Company during any Fiscal Period, then Profits, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to the transferred interest in the Company for such Fiscal Period shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying interests in the Company during the Fiscal Period in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Management Board.
 
(f) These allocations are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.  Tax returns for the Company shall be provided to the Management Board for review before submission, and any reasonable requests by the Management Board for changes in order to ensure compliance with such requirements shall be made, provided that such changes shall not result in the amount of cash or other distributions to any Member being affected or cause a material adverse tax or other effect for any Member.
 
Section 6.6 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).
 
(a) For each Fiscal Year, items of income, deduction, gain, loss and credit shall be allocated for tax purposes among the Members to reflect equitably the amounts which have been credited or debited to the Capital Account of each such Member (for such Fiscal Year and prior Fiscal Years).
 
(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, items of 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 tax basis of such property at the time of contribution to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value at the time of contribution using a method permitted by applicable Regulations under Code Section 704(c), as determined by the Management Board in its reasonable discretion.
 
(c) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Asset is adjusted in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value hereof, subsequent allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit with respect to such asset shall take into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.
 
(d) Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations for tax purposes, basis adjustments or other tax matters shall be made by the Management Board in its reasonable discretion.  Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.6 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, share of Profits or Losses, or other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
 
Section 11.1 Indemnity by the Company. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.4, the Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Member, Officer, director, controlling person, employee, legal representative or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as manager, director, officer, partner, member, shareholder, controlling person, employee, legal representative or agent of another limited liability company, partnership, corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (a “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, interest, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s and accountant’s fees, court costs and other out-of-pocket expenses actually and reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (including any such brought by or in the right of the Company) suffered or incurred by such Indemnified Person while serving in such capacity or that otherwise in any way relate to or arise out of any action or inaction by such Indemnified Person or the Company (collectively, “Indemnifiable Losses”), if such Indemnified Person acted in good faith and in a manner that such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and not in violation of this Agreement, and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such Person’s conduct was unlawful; provided, that shall have no obligation to indemnify or defend hereunder to the extent such action, suit or proceeding arises from fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Indemnified Person. Indemnifiable Losses will be reasonably allocated by the Management Board.
 
 
31

 
 
Section 11.2 Exculpation.  No Indemnified Person shall be liable to any Member or the Company for any act or failure to act on behalf of the Company, unless such act or failure to act resulted from fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Person.  Each Indemnified Person may consult with legal counsel and accountants in respect of Company affairs and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants.
 
Section 11.3 Expenses.  Any indemnification under Section 11.1, as well as the advance payment of expenses permitted under Section 11.4 shall be made by the Company to the fullest extent permitted under the Act.
 
Section 11.4 Advance Payment of Expenses.  The expenses of any Member incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Member (in form and substance, from an indemnitor, reasonably satisfactory to all of the Voting Members), to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Member is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  The provisions of this Section 11.4 do not affect and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, including, without, limitation, any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which any such Indemnified Person other than the Members may be entitled under any contract, pursuant to approval of the Members, or otherwise by law.
 
Section 11.5 Beneficiaries.  The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this Article XI continues for a Person who has ceased to be a Member, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such Person.
 
Section 11.6 Indemnification Procedure for Third Party and Other Claims.  A party against whom indemnification is sought under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Person seeking such indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) within 30 days after receipt of  written notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), to assume the defense and control the settlement of such Third Party Claim that (a) involves (and continues to involve) solely money damages or (b) involves (and continues to involve) claims for both money damages and equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that cannot be severed, where the claims for money damages are the primary claims asserted by the third party and the claims for equitable relief are incidental to the claims for money damages. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the defense and control the settlement of any Third Party Claim (i) not described in clauses (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence or (ii) described in clauses (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence whose defense and control of settlement has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other is defending, as provided in this Agreement.  The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement which (A) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or (B) does not provide for a complete release by such Third Party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party, and shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim involving money damages for which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 11.6 with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
 
32

 
 
Section 11.7 Other Claims.  In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement for other than a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party.  Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim.  As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has given such notice, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt to resolve such claim by mutual agreement before resorting to other legal means to resolve such claim.
 
Section 11.8 Limitation on Damages.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall be liable to the other party for any indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage (including any loss of revenue or profit) arising out of this Agreement including, without limitation, in respect of any breach by any Member of this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by the Indemnified Party in respect of Indemnifiable Losses directly incurred from Third Party Claims.  Any Indemnified Person shall take commercially reasonable actions to mitigate his, her, its or their damages.  The obligation of the Company to indemnify any Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses hereunder resulting from any action, suit or proceeding shall not exceed the value of the Assets.  The obligation of any Member to indemnify any Person(s) pursuant to this Agreement is limited, in the aggregate for all claims, to such Member’s percentage interests, and no Person claiming indemnification or otherwise making any claim against a Member shall have recourse against such Member for any deficiency; provided, however, that in the event that a Member’s percentage interests are less than such Member’s Initial Capital Contribution (as a result of distributions made in respect of such percentage interests in accordance with Article XI of this Agreement), the indemnifying Member shall be obligated to pay any such deficiency to the extent of the difference between its Initial Capital Contribution and its percentage interests.
