If the Company requires additional capital for its operations the Manager may, in his sole discretion, issue a call for additional capital contributions, in which case the Members will have the opportunity, but shall in no event be obligated, to make additional contributions to the Company in proportion to their Percentage Interests. If any Member shall fail to make his proportionate share of any such additional capital contribution, any other Member may make such contribution, and the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 3.3.2 below.

3.3.2. If one or more Members shall fail to contribute his or her proportionate share of any additional capital contributions under Section 3.3.1, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted to reflect (i) the additional capital contributions and (ii) the net gain or loss that would have been allocated to each Member under this Agreement if all of the assets of the Company (other than the newly contributed assets) had been sold for their fair market values, and the resulting gain or loss (determined by reference to the prior Gross Asset Value of such assets) had been allocated to the Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such adjustments to the Capital Accounts shall be made in accordance with Regulation §1.704-(1)(b)(2)(iv)(f). For this purpose, the fair market value of the assets of the Company shall be determined by the Manager. After the Capital Accounts have been adjusted as provided in this Section 3.3.2, the Percentage Interest of each Member shall be adjusted to equal that percentage obtained by dividing the positive balance in such Member’s Capital Account by the sum of the positive Capital Account balances of all the Members.

3.4. Advances. If the Company requires additional funds for the fulfillment of its purposes, the Company may borrow funds from one or more Members, or from Persons related to one or more Members, on such terms as the Manager and the party or parties making such loans may agree. Unless otherwise agreed by the party or parties making such loans, all loans made under this Section 3.4 shall be repaid in full, with interest, before any distributions are made to the Members under this Agreement.

3.5. Capital Accounts. The Company shall maintain an individual Capital Account for each Member in accordance with the provisions set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.

All cash or property available for distribution to the Members prior to the liquidation and winding up of the Company, as determined by the Manager, shall be distributed to the Members, pro rata, in proportion to the cumulative invested investor capital originated by each particular member as of the date of the distribution (the “Origination Percentage”). In making determinations regarding distributions, the Manager shall be authorized to establish reasonable reserves for working capital, improvements, capital expenditures and the acquisition of other assets by the Company.

4.2. Return of Distributions. Except for distributions made in violation of this Agreement, or as otherwise required by law, no Member shall be obligated to return any distribution to the Company or pay the amount of any distribution for the account of the Company or to any creditor of the Company.

4.3. Withholding. Any tax required to be withheld with respect to any Member under Section 1446 or other provisions of the Code, or under state law, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement: (i) as a distribution of cash to be charged against future distributions to which such Member would otherwise have been entitled; or (ii) if determined by the Manager, as a demand loan to such Member.

5. Allocation of Profit and Loss. Subject to the rules set forth in Exhibit B, all Profits and Losses for any taxable year of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Origination Percentage.

6. Members.

6.1. Limited Liability. Except as required or as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Member shall be personally liable for any debt, obligation, or liability of the Company, whether that debt, obligation, or liability arises in contract, tort or otherwise.

6.4. Meetings of Members; Action by Consent.

6.4.1. Meetings of the Members may be called by the Manager or by Members holding an aggregate Percentage Interest of at least twenty-five percent (25%).

6.5. Admission of Additional Members. The Manager may, with the written consent of 100% of the Members, admit additional Members to the Company in exchange for such additional Capital Contributions as the Manager may determine.

8. Transfer Of Membership Interests.

8.1. Basic Restrictions. A Member may not Transfer all or part of the Member’s Membership Interest to a person or entity (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an “Assignee”) unless the Transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8. Any purported Transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 8 shall be null and void and any non-transferring Member, in addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement and at law, in equity and otherwise, may seek to enjoin the Transfer and the transferring Member, or the Member’s legal representatives, agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any court of the State of Florida and to be bound by any order of the court enjoining the purported Transfer. If a Transfer of a Membership Interest occurs (including a Transfer otherwise prohibited hereby that the Company is compelled by law, judicial process or otherwise to recognize), the Assignee shall have only the rights of an assignee who is not admitted as a Member unless the transferee is admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 8.5 below. An Assignee shall (i) only acquire the transferor’s rights to distributions and allocations as provided in Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement with respect to the Membership Interest (or part thereof) subject to such Transfer (which, as to distributions, shall be subject to the Company’s right of offset to satisfy any debts, obligations or liabilities that the transferor Member or the Assignee may have to the Company), (ii) have no rights to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, (iii) not be entitled to inspect the books or records of the Company, (iv) not have any other rights conferred on a Member in this Agreement or by law (including, where applicable, the right to grant or withhold approval on any matter that requires the approval of the Members under this Agreement or by law), and (v) not have any right to receive notice of any act, circumstance, event or proposed event or action of which Members are otherwise entitled to receive notice pursuant to this Agreement, or on which Members are otherwise entitled to act or to express consent or dissent.

8.2. Lifetime Transfers by Members. During the lifetime of a Member, a Member may only Transfer all or a portion of his or her Membership Interest if (i) the Transfer is to a Permitted Transferee or a Permitted Trust, (ii) the Transfer is approved in writing by the Manager and Members holding an aggregate Percentage Interest of at least sixty percent (60%), or (iii) the Transfer is made after the Company and the other Members have been given the right of first refusal as set forth in the remainder of this Section 8.2.

8.2.1. Right of First Refusal. If a Member (hereinafter in this Section sometimes referred to as the “Selling Member”) receives a bona fide written offer from an unrelated third party (the “Offeror”) to purchase all or any portion of such Member’s Membership Interest (the “Offered Interest”), and the Selling Member desires to accept such offer, the Selling Member shall first give written notice of the offer (the “Offer Notice”) to the Company and shall offer to sell the Offered Interest to the Company. The offer to the Company shall be at a price and upon terms no less favorable to the Company or more favorable to the Selling Member than those which the Selling Member is willing to accept from the Offeror and may be accepted by the Company within thirty (30) days of the date the Company received the Offer Notice. The Selling Member shall give the Company a copy of the written offer from the Offeror. If the Company fails to accept the offer made by the Selling Member within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Offer Notice then the Members other than the Selling Member shall have the opportunity for a further period of fifteen (15) days immediately after the expiration of the Company’s thirty-day purchase period to accept the offer set forth in the Offer Notice. If more than one Member desires to purchase the Offered Interest, they shall purchase the Offered Interest in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests or in such other proportion as they may agree.

8.2.2. Sale to Offeror. If neither the Company nor the other Members accept the Selling Member’s offer to purchase the Offered Interest within the time periods described above, the Selling Member may, within thirty (30) days from the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period the other Members had to accept the offer, sell the Offered Interest to the Offeror at a price not less than the price, and on terms not less favorable to the Selling Member than the terms, at which the Offered Interest was offered to the Company and the other Members. No sale to the Offeror shall be permitted or shall be recognized by the Company unless the Offeror agrees in writing to be bound by, and to hold the Offered Interest subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 8. If the Offered Interest is not so sold to the Offeror within the thirty (30) day period described in this Section 8.2.2, the Selling Member shall not thereafter sell all or any portion of his or her Membership Interest unless the Company and the other Members are again given a right of first refusal as proved in this Section 8.2.

8.2.3. Sale to Company or Other Members. If the Company or the other Members accept the offer of the Selling Member to sell the Offered Interest, the closing of such sale shall occur at the principal office of the Company no later than thirty (30) days after the acceptance of such offer. The purchase price for the Offered Interest shall be paid on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, except that the purchaser(s) of the Offered Interest may elect to pay up to 80% of the purchase price by means of a promissory note bearing interest at the applicable federal rate of interest applicable to such promissory note under Section 1274 of the Code and payable in equal quarterly payments over a period not in excess of five years. The promissory note shall be prepayable at any time in full or in part and shall be due in full if any quarterly payment is not paid within fifteen days of the due date of such payment.

8.2.4. Additional Requirements. In addition to the other requirements of this Section 8.2, unless such requirement is waived by the Manager, no Transfer of any Membership Interest may be made unless the Company shall have received, at the expense of the Member seeking to effect the Transfer, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Manager that the proposed Transfer (i) may be effected without registration of the Membership Interests under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) would not be in violation of any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” law (including investment suitability standards) and (iii) will not cause a termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes.

8.2.5. Successive Transfers. If a Membership Interest is transferred under this Section 8.2 to a Permitted Transferee, the only Permitted Transferees of such Assignee (and of any subsequent Assignee of such transferred Membership Interest or any portion thereof) shall be the Permitted Transferees of the original transferor Member.

8.3. Bequest of Interests. The bequest by a Member of all or any portion of the Member’s Membership Interest shall not be permitted. The Company shall purchase the Membership Interest of a deceased Member for its fair market value, as determined in an independent appraisal performed by a certified public accountant or other qualified appraiser selected by the Manager. Upon the death of a Member and the payment of the purchase price for his Membership Interests to his spouse or beneficiary, the Member’s Membership Interest shall be allocated pro rata to the remaining Members. The Members acknowledge and agree that, upon the death of any Member, it is the present intention that the remaining Members will continue operating the business of the Company.

8.4. Bankruptcy of a Member; Involuntary Transfers. If any Member becomes Bankrupt, the following shall apply:

8.4.1. The trustee in bankruptcy or other successor in interest of the Bankrupt Member shall be entitled to receive the shares of revenues and other income, receipts, or gain which the Bankrupt Member would have been entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement (net of the Member’s share of the Company costs, expenses and losses) until the time, if any, that the Membership Interest of the Bankrupt Member is purchased as described in Section 8.4.2., but the trustee in bankruptcy or other successor in interest shall not thereby become a Member, nor have any of the other rights herein conferred upon the bankrupt Member.

8.4.2. For a period of two years after the occurrence of the bankruptcy, the Company and the other Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the Bankrupt Member’s Membership Interest for its fair market value, as determined in an independent appraisal performed by a certified public accountant or other qualified appraiser selected by the Manager. Unless the Manager currently intends to liquidate the Company, the fair market value of the Bankrupt Member’s Interest shall be determined based on the Bankrupt Member’s right to receive distributions from the Company, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, rather than on the basis of a hypothetical liquidation of the Company. The appraiser shall take all relevant facts and circumstances into account, including, without limitation, minority discounts, lack of liquidity and restrictions on Transfer. At least 25% of such purchase price shall be paid in cash, with the remainder payable by means of a promissory note bearing interest at the applicable federal rate of interest in effect on the date of such purchase under Section 1274 of the Code and payable in equal quarterly payments over a period not to exceed five (5) years.

8.4.3. If all or a portion of the Membership Interest held by a Member is transferred involuntarily or by operation of law (including without limitation a Transfer made in connection with divorce proceedings), and if the Company is compelled by law, judicial process or otherwise to recognize such Transfer, then the Member who held such Membership Interest shall be considered a Bankrupt Member, and the provisions of Sections 8.4.1 and 8.4.2 above shall apply to the Membership Interest (or portion thereof) that was transferred involuntarily or by operation of law.

8.5. Admission of Assignee as Substitute Member. An Assignee who acquires all or any portion of an existing Member’s Membership Interest shall not be admitted to the Company as a substitute Member unless, in addition to meeting the other requirements set forth in this Section 8, the additional requirements set forth in this Section 8.5 are satisfied:

8.5.1. the Manager and 100% of the Members consent to such substitution, which consent may be given or withheld for any reason which the Manager deems appropriate or for no reason;

8.5.2. the assigning Member grants the Assignee the right to be admitted as a substitute Member, provided however, that such grant shall not be required in the case of a Transfer which occurs by reason of the death, dissolution or bankruptcy of the assigning Member;

8.5.3. the Assignee shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof and other documents or instruments as the Manager may require in order to effect the admission of the Assignee as a Member; and

8.5.4. if required by the Manager, the Assignee pays to the Company a sum that is sufficient to cover all expenses (including legal fees) connected with the admission of the Assignee as a substitute Member pursuant to this Agreement.

9. Books and Records; Accounting; Tax Matters.

9.1. Books and Records. The Manager may, in his discretion, cause the books and records of the Company to be kept, and the financial position and the results of its operations to be recorded, in accordance with the accounting methods followed for federal income tax purposes. The books and records of the Company shall reflect all the Company transactions and shall be appropriate and adequate for the Company’s business.

9.8. Tax Matters.

9.8.1. Status of Company as Partnership. It is intended that the Company shall be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Unless the Members unanimously agree in writing neither the Company nor any Member may make an election for the Company to be taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or to be excluded from the application of the provisions of subchapter K of chapter I of subtitle A of the Code or any similar provisions of applicable state law, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to sanction or approve such an election.

9.8.2. Tax Elections. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including Section 9.8.1 above, the Manager may cause the Company to make any elections permitted under applicable tax law

9.8.3. Partnership Representative. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is hereby designated as the “Partnership Representative” of the Company as defined in Subchapter C of Subtitle A, Chapter 63 of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, P.L. 114-74 (together with any subsequent amendments thereto, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and published administrative interpretations thereof) (the “Partnership Audit Rules”). In this capacity, the Partnership Representative shall represent the Company in any disputes, controversies or proceedings with the IRS or with any state or local taxing authority and is hereby authorized to take any and all actions that it is permitted to take when acting in that capacity, including making the election under Section 6226 of the Code to have the Members take tax adjustments into account on their own tax returns. The Company shall reimburse the Partnership Representative for all costs and expenses incurred by it in performing its duties as the Partnership Representative (including legal and accounting fees and expenses). Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Company from engaging an accounting firm or a law firm to assist the Partnership Representative in discharging its duties hereunder. The Manager may replace the Partnership Representative at any time without the approval or consent of the Members of the Company.

9.8.4. Special Allocation of Items Resulting from Company Audits. The Partnership Representative may make special allocations of income, gain, loss, or deduction in order to correct for distortions arising from an audit under the Partnership Audit Rules.

9.8.5. Payment and Refund of Tax Pursuant to Partnership Audit Rules.

The Company shall timely pay any taxes due under Section 6225 of the Code as amended by the Partnership Audit Rules. Any amount paid by the Company under this Section that is attributable to any Membership Interest shall be treated as distributed to the holder of such interest at the time that the payment is made by the Company. Any deemed distribution under this Section shall be credited against distributions otherwise payable on such Membership Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Membership Interest to which this Section applies is held by a different Member during the Reviewed Year than in the Adjustment Year (as such terms are defined in Code as amended by Partnership Audit Rules) the Member holding the Membership Interest in the Adjustment Year shall be treated as receiving the distributions called for herein.

In the event that the Company receives any refund of taxes paid, such refund shall, to the extent feasible, be apportioned and distributed among the Members in such a manner as to offset any prior payment of taxes made by such Members pursuant to Section 9.8.6(a).

In the event that the Code Section 702(a)(8) income of the Company is decreased (or its Section 702(a)(8) loss is increased) as a result of the operation of 6225 of the Code as amended by Partnership Audit Rules, such decrease (or increase in loss) shall be proportionately specially allocated to the Member or Members whose income was decreased (or loss increased) in the Reviewed Year.

The Manager shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Company, shall take full account of the assets and liabilities of the Company, shall either cause its assets to be sold to any Person or distributed to a Member, and if sold, as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof, shall cause the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed as provided in Section 10.5 herein. The Person(s) winding up the affairs of the Company shall give written notice of the commencement of winding up by mail to all known creditors and claimants whose addresses appear on the records of the Company.

Any non-cash asset distributed to one or more Members shall first be valued at its fair market value to determine the gain or loss that would have been included in the amounts allocated pursuant to Section 5 and Exhibit B if such asset were sold for such value. Such gain or loss shall then be allocated pursuant to Section 5 and Exhibit B, and the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect such allocations. The amount distributed and charged to the Capital Account of each Member receiving an interest in such distributed asset shall be the fair market value of such interest (net of any liability secured by such asset that such Member assumes or takes subject to).

10.4. Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of Sections 10.2 and 10.3, the fair market value of each asset of the Company shall be determined by the Manager.

10.5. Order of Distributions Upon Liquidation. After determining that all known debts and liabilities of the Company in the process of winding up, including without limitation debts and liabilities to Members who are creditors of the Company, have been paid or adequately provided for, the remaining assets shall be distributed first, to the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances, after such Capital Accounts have been adjusted to take into account all allocations of Profits and Losses, as specified in this Agreement, for the Company’s taxable year during which liquidation occurs and second, once all Capital Account balances are zero, in accordance with each Member’s Origination Interest. Liquidating distributions shall be made by the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the Company is liquidated, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation.

10.6. Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Each Member shall be entitled to look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of such Member’s positive Capital Account balance. Notwithstanding that the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Company may be insufficient to return the Capital Contributions or share of Profits reflected in such Member’s positive Capital Account balance, a Member shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member.

10.7. Articles of Dissolution. Upon completion of the winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Manager, or other Person(s) winding up the affairs of the Company, shall cause to be filed in the office of, and on a form prescribed by, the Secretary of State of the State of DElaware, articles of dissolution.

On the transfer or all or part of a Membership Interest, the Capital Account of the transferor that is attributable to the transferred Membership Interest or part thereof shall carry over to the transferee Member in accordance with the provisions of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(1).

(a) Limitation on Allocation of Losses. No Losses shall be allocated to a Member under Section 5 of the Agreement to the extent that such allocation would cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year. Losses that would have been allocated to a Member but for the preceding sentence shall be allocated (1) first, to Members with positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts, in proportion to and to the extent thereof, and (2) thereafter, among the Members in accordance with their respective interests in the Company, in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(3).

(b) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company taxable year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. This Section B.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in accordance with Regulation 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 so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section B.3(c) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) that would create an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such Member, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section B.3(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Agreement have been tentatively made as if this Section B.3(d) and Section B.3(e) were not in the Agreement.

(e) Gross Income Allocation. If any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Taxable Year, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section B.3(e) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Agreement have been tentatively made as if this Section B.3(e) were not in the Agreement.

(f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions (and Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities) for any taxable year or other period shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(g) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).

(h) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections B.3(a) through B.3(g) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section B.3(h). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit B (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Manager shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner he determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, a Member’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 this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 5 of the Agreement. In exercising his discretion under this Section B.3(h), the Manager shall take into account any future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made. In addition, if as a result of any provision of this Agreement any Member is required to include in income any amounts other than those specifically contemplated by this Agreement and the Company receives a corresponding tax deduction, that deduction (or any part thereof) may, in the discretion of the Manager, be specially allocated to the Member required to include such amount in income.

B.4. Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). The provisions specified in Section 5 of the Agreement and Section B.3 above shall govern the maintenance of the Member’s Capital Accounts and the allocation of items to the Members for Code Section 704(b) book purposes. The following provisions of this Section B.4 apply solely for the purpose of determining how items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, as computed for federal income tax purposes, are to be allocated among the Members for federal, state and local tax purposes, and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits or Losses, or the manner in which distributions are made to the Members under this Agreement:

(a) Contributed Property. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury 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 initial Gross Asset Value.

(b) Revalued Property. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (2) 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 income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c) Elections. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations pursuant to this Section B.4 shall be made by the Tax Matters Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.

B.5. Miscellaneous Allocation Provisions.

(a) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Manager using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Company income gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for the year.

(c) For the purpose of determining each Member’s share of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities pursuant to Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), and solely for such purpose, each Member’s interest in Company Profits is hereby specified to be such Member’s Percentage Interest.
