ARTICLE VIII.
Allocations of Income, Profits and Losses
8.1.Profits and Losses. Profits and Losses for any fiscal year shall be allocated 90% to the Limited Partner and 10% to the General Partner.
- 6 -
8.2. The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing the Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year. All Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 8.2 shall be allocated to the General Partner.
8.3.Allocation of Income for Partial Fiscal Year. 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 General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.
8.4.Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734 (b) or Code Section 743 (b) 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 the 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 Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.
8.5.Tax Allocations: Code Section 704 (c).
In accordance with Code Section 704 (c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deductions with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes and its initial fair market value.
Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.5 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 Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
8.6.Authority of General Partner to Vary Allocations.
(a) It is the intent of the Partners that each Partner’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) shall be determined and allocated in accordance with Article VIII to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704 (b) of the Code. In order to preserve and protect the determinations and allocations provided for in Article VIII, the General Partner is authorized and directed to allocate income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in any year differently than otherwise provided for in this Article VIII to the extent that allocating income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) in the manner provided for in Article VIII would cause the determinations and allocations of each Partner’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) not to be permitted by Section 704 (b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation otherwise provided for in Article VIII and no amendment of this Partnership Agreement or approval of any Partner shall be required.
- 7 -
(b) In making any allocation (the “new allocation”) under Section 8.6 (a), the General Partner is authorized to act only after having been advised by the Partnership’s accountants that, under Section 704 (b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (i) the new allocation is necessary, and (ii) the new allocation is the minimum modification of the allocations otherwise provided for in Article VIII necessary in order to assure that, either in the then current year or in any preceding year, each Partner’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) is determined and allocated in accordance with Article VIII to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704 (b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(c) If the General Partner is required by Section 8.6 (a) to make any new allocation in a manner less favorable to the Limited Partner than is otherwise provided for in Article VIII, the General Partner is then authorized and directed, insofar as it is advised by the Partnership’s accountants that it is permitted by Section 704 (b) of the Code, to allocate income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in later years in such manner, so as to bring the allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) to the Limited Partner as nearly as possible to the allocations thereof otherwise contemplated by Article VIII.
(d) New allocations made by the General Partner under Section 8.6 (a) in reliance upon the advice of the Partnership’s accountants and allocations made by the General Partner under Section 8.6 (c) in reliance upon the advice of the Partnership’s accountants shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the General Partner to the Partnership and the Limited Partner, and no such allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by the Limited Partner.
ARTICLE IX.
Distributions
9.1.Net Cash Flow. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, Net Cash Flow for each fiscal year (or part thereof) shall be distributed, at such times as the General Partner determines, 90% to the Limited Partner and 10% to the General Partner.
9.2.Incorrect Payments. To the extent any payments made pursuant to this Article IX were incorrectly paid, as determined by the Partnership’s financial statements, any Partner who received more than should have been paid to it shall promptly repay the amount of any such incorrect payment, and any such repaid amount shall be redistributed pursuant to this Article IX.

- 8 -
9.5.Inability to Pay Debts. The General Partner shall not make any distribution that will impair the ability of the Partnership to pay its just debts as they mature. Further, the General Partner shall not make any distribution in violation of the limitations in Section 6.07 (a) of Article 6132a-1 of the Revised Civil Statute of Texas. A Partner who receives a distribution in violation of this Agreement shall be personably liable to return that distribution, with interest, only if the Partner knew that the distribution was prohibited.

In such event, allocations of Profits and Losses under Section 8.1 shall be modified to cause the Capital Accounts, to the extent possible, to equal such amounts.
