ARTICLE IV ALLOCATION OF PROFIT AND LOSS 4.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses. 4.1.1 The Company's Net Profit and Net Loss for any Accounting Period shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests. 4.1.2 The Company's items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated for Federal, state and local income tax purposes among the Members proportionately to the allocation of Net Profit and Net Loss among the Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, in accordance with Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury 10 Dock USI:9600195v9 EFTA00587604 Regulations promulgated thereunder so as to take account of any difference between the tax basis of such property to the Company for Federal income tax purposes and its book basis. 4.1.3 If any Membership Interest is transferred or any Percentage Interest is changed pursuant to the terms of the Agreement during a Fiscal Year, the amount of Net Profit and Net Loss to be allocated to the Members for such entire Fiscal Year in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests shall be allocated to the portion of such Fiscal Year which precedes the date of such transfer or change (and if there shall have been a prior transfer or change in such Fiscal Year, which commences on the date of such prior transfer or change) and to the portion of such Fiscal Year which occurs on and after the date of such transfer or change (and if there shall be a subsequent transfer or change in such Fiscal Year, which precedes the date of such subsequent transfer or change), in proportion to the number of days in each such portion (or, in the case of a transfer, in accordance with an interim closing of the books at the election and the expense of the parties to the transfer), and the amounts of the items so allocated to each such portion shall be credited or charged to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests during each such portion of the Fiscal Year in question. Such allocation shall be made without regard to the date, amount or receipt of any distributions that may have been made with respect to the transferred Membership Interest. As of the date of such transfer, the transferee Member shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor Member with respect to the transferred Membership Interest. 4.2 Regulatory Allocations. 4.2.1 Section 704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, including but not limited to the provisions of such Treasury Regulations addressing qualified income offset provisions, minimum gain chargeback requirements and allocations of deductions 11 Dock USI:9600195v9 EFTA00587605 attributable to nonrecourse debt and partner nonrecourse debt, are hereby incorporated by reference. If, as a result of the provisions of Section 704 of the Code and such Treasury Regulations, items of Net Profit or Net Loss are allocated to the Members in a manner that is inconsistent with the manner in which the Members intend to divide Company distributions as reflected in Section 4.1, to the extent permitted under such Treasury Regulations, items of future profit and loss shall be allocated among the Members so as to prevent such allocations from distorting the manner in which Company distributions will be divided among the Members pursuant to this Agreement. 4.2.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, no Member shall be allocated in any Fiscal Year of the Company any Net Loss to the extent such allocation would cause or increase a deficit balance in such Member's Capital Account, determined after taking into account all other allocations to be made for such year pursuant to this Article IV and after adjusting such Capital Account for the reasonably expected adjustments, allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). In the event that one but not all of the Members would have a deficit balance in his Capital Account, the limitation set forth in this Section 4.2.2 shall be applied so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Loss to such Member under Treasury Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). Any such Net Loss in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 4.2.2 that would be allocated to a Member shall be allocated to the other Member or Members. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in his Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year, 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 4.2.2 shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit balance in his, her or its Capital Account in excess of such sum after all 12 Dock USI:9600195v9 EFTA00587606 other allocations provided for in this Article IV have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.2.2 were not in this Agreement. This Section 4.2.2 is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement of Treasury Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. ARTICLE V DISTRIBUTIONS 5.1 Distributions Other Than Upon Winding-Up. Distributions shall be made to the Members at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined in the sole discretion of the Class B Managing Members. Such distributions shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests. The Class B Managing Members shall have authority to make any such distributions on behalf of any Member (i) directly to the United States Treasury and any state or local taxing authority of such amounts as may be necessary to discharge such Member's income tax liability (including but not limited to Federal, State, local or otherwise) and (ii) if such Member is under the age of majority, to a custodian on behalf of such Member. 5.2 Distributions Upon Winding Up. Upon the dissolution and winding-up of the Company, distributions shall be made as provided in Section 7.3. ARTICLE VI TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS 6.1 Right of First Refusal. Except as permitted by Section 6.2, but in all events subject to Section 9.1 hereof, no Member or any assignee thereof shall have the right to sell, assign, or otherwise transfer all or any part of such Member's Membership Interest (the "Offered Interests") unless such Member or assignee (the "Seller") first offers to sell the Offered Interests pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.1. 13 Dock USI:9600195v9 EFTA00587607 6.1.1 No transfer may be made under this Section 6.1 unless the Seller has received a bona fide written offer (the "Purchase Offer") from the prospective transferee (the "Purchaser") to purchase the Offered Interests for a purchase price (the "Offer Price") denominated and payable in United States dollars at closing or according to specified terms, with or without interest, which offer shall be in writing signed by the Purchaser and shall be irrevocable for a period ending no sooner than the day following the end of the Offer Period, as hereinafter defined. 6.1.2 Prior to making any transfer that is subject to the terms of this Section 6.1, the Seller shall give to each Member, written notice (the "Offer Notice") which shall include the following: (1) the identity of the Purchaser; (2) a copy of the Purchase Offer; (3) a statement signed by the Purchaser to the effect that, upon purchase of the Offered Interests, the Purchaser agrees to become a Member, to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Member with respect to the Offered Interests, and to execute such documents and instruments as the other Members deem necessary or appropriate to confirm such agreements; and (4) an offer (the "Firm Offer") to sell the Offered Interests to the other Members (the "Offerees") for the Offer Price, payable according to the same terms as (or more favorable terms than) those contained in the Purchase Offer, provided that the Firm Offer shall be made without regard to the requirement of any earnest money or similar deposit required of the Purchaser prior to closing, and without regard to any security (other than the Offered Interests) to be provided by the Purchaser for any deferred portion of the Offer Price. 6.1.3 The Firm Offer shall be irrevocable for a period (the "Offer Period") ending at 5:00 •., local time, at the Company's principal place of business, on the ninetieth (90th) day following the day of the Offer Notice. 14 Dock USI:9600195v9 EFTA00587608 6.1.4 At any time during the Offer Period, any Offeree may accept the Firm Offer as to all or any portion of the Offered Interests by giving written notice of such acceptance to the Seller and each other Offeree (an "Acceptance") which notice shall indicate the maximum portion of the Offered Interests that such Offeree is willing to purchase. In the event that Offerees ("Accepting Offerees"), in the aggregate, accept the Firm Offer with respect to all, or more than all, of the Offered Interests during the Offer Period, the Firm Offer shall be deemed to be accepted. In the event that Accepting Offerees accept the Finn Offer with respect to more than all of the Offered Interests, each Accepting Offeree shall be deemed to have accepted the Firm Offer with respect to that portion of the Offered Interests that corresponds to the ratio of the Offered Interests that such Accepting Offeree indicated a willingness to purchase to the aggregate Offered Interests all Accepting Offerees indicated a willingness to purchase. If Offerees do not accept the Finn Offer as to all, or more than all, of the Offered Interests during the Offer Period, the Firm Offer shall be deemed to be rejected in its entirety. 6.1.5 In the event the Finn Offer is accepted, the closing of the sale of the Offered Interests shall take place within thirty (30) days after the Finn Offer is accepted or, if later, the date of closing set forth in the Purchase Offer. The Seller and all Accepting Offerees shall execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the sale of the Offered Interests pursuant to the terms of the Finn Offer and this Section 6.1 and such sale shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.1. 6.1.6 If the Finn Offer is not accepted in the manner hereinabove provided, the Seller may sell the Offered Interests to the Purchaser at any time within sixty (60) days after the last day of the Offer Period, provided that such sale shall be made on terms no more favorable to the Purchaser than the terms contained in the Purchase Offer and provided further that such sale 15 Dock USI:9600195v9 EFTA00587609 complies with the other terms, conditions, and restrictions of this Agreement that are applicable to sales of Membership Interests and are not expressly made inapplicable to sales occurring under this Section 6.1. In the event that the Offered Interest is not sold in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Offered Interest shall again become subject to all of the conditions and restrictions of this Section 6.1. 6.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 6.1, but in all events subject to Sections 9.1 and 9.2 hereof, a Member may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any part of such Member's Membership Interest without an offer first having been made pursuant to Section 6.1 if, and only if, such transferee or pledgee is an Eligible Person. In addition, notwithstanding Section 6.1, any interest as a Member which is held by a custodian for a minor under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or a similar act shall be fully transferable and assignable to the minor when the minor reaches the age of termination of such custodianship under the applicable statute. 6.3 Certain Prohibited Transfers. Notwithstanding Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, no Member shall have the right to sell, assign, or otherwise transfer any portion or all of such Member's Membership Interest if such sale, assignment or other transfer would cause (i) the Company to be classified as a publicly traded partnership or otherwise as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes or (ii) unless the Company determines it to be immaterial, a termination of the Company pursuant to Section 708 of the Code. 6.4 Other Purported Transfers. No Member shall have the right to sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, or otherwise voluntarily transfer or encumber any portion or all of such Member's Membership Interest, except as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof. A transferee who acquires a Membership Interest by any purported sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge, 16 Dock USI:9600195v9 EFTA00587610 hypothecation or other voluntary transfer or encumbrance by a Member of any or all of such Member's Membership Interest, in violation of this Article, shall be entitled only to share in such profits and losses, to receive such distribution or distributions, and to receive such allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit or similar item to which the assignor was entitled, to the extent assigned. Such transferee shall have no right to an accounting of the affairs of the Company and shall not have any rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement, except as to allocations and distributions with respect to such transferred interests. 6.5 No Right to Withdraw. 6.5.1 No Member may withdraw from the Company or reduce such Member's Capital Account without the unanimous consent of the Class B Managing Members.
