(b)Managing Member Gross Income Allocation.There shall be specially allocated to the Managing Member an amount of (i) first, items of Company income and (ii) second, items of Company gain during each Fiscal Year or other applicable period, before any other allocations are made hereunder, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the cumulative distributions made to the Managing Member underSection 6.4(b) hereof, other than distributions which would properly betreated as “guaranteed payments” or which are attributable to the reimbursement of expenses which would properly be deductible by the Company, over (B) the cumulative allocations of Company income and gain to the Managing Member under thisSection 4.1(b).
5
(c)Special Allocation with Respect to Sales.Items of income, gain, credit, loss and deduction of the Company for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period from Sales, other than any such items allocated under Section 5.1(b), shall be allocated among the Members in a manner that will, as nearly as possible (after giving effect to the allocations at the end of such Fiscal Year or other applicable period) equal (i) the amount of the hypothetical distribution that such Member would receive if the Company were liquidated on the last day of such period and all assets of the Company, including cash, were sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such period, all liabilities of the Company were satisfied in full in cash according to their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability) and Net Sales Proceeds (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 5.1(i), minus (ii) the sum of such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, all computed as of the date of the hypothetical sale of assets.
(d)Nonrecourse Deductions; Minimum Gain Chargeback.Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, (i) any expense of the Company that is a “nonrecourse deduction” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1) shall be allocated to the holder of the Common Interests, (ii) any expense of the Company that is a “partner nonrecourse deduction” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) shall be allocated to the Member that bears the “economic risk of loss” with respect to the liability to which such deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1), (iii) if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(0)(1) for any Company taxable year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(2),(3), (4) and (5), items of gain and income shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and the ordering rules contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(j), and (iv) if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) for any Company taxable year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-(2)(g), items of gain and income shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and the ordering rules contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(j).
(e)Qualified Income Offset.If a Member unexpectedly receives in any taxable year an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in subparagraphs (4), (5), or (6) of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) that causes or increases a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account that exceeds the sum of such Member’s shares of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Member shall be allocated specially for such taxable year (and, if necessary, later taxable years) items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit Capital Account balance as quickly as possible as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). ThisSection 4.1(e) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. After the occurrence of an allocation of income or gain to a Member in accordance with thisSection 4.1(e), to the extent permitted by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), items of expense or loss shall be allocated to such Member in an amount necessary to offset the income or gain previously allocated to such Member under thisSection 4.1(e).
(f)Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee.If a Member transfers any part or all of its Membership Interest, the distributive shares of the various items of Profit and Loss allocable among the Members during such Fiscal Year of the Company shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee Member either (i) as if the Company’s Fiscal Year had ended on the date of
6
the transfer, or (ii) based on the number of days of such Fiscal Year that each was a Member without regard to the results of Company activities in the respective portions of such Fiscal Year in which the transferor and the transferee were Members. The Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine which method shall be used to allocate the distributive shares of the various items of Profit and Loss between the transferor and the transferee Member.
(g)Curative Allocations.The allocations set forth inSections 4.1(d) and4.1(e) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. The Managing Member is authorized to offset all Regulatory Allocations either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to thisSection 4.1(g). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of thisSection 4.1 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Managing Member shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it deems appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account 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 toSections 5.1(a), (b), (c) and(f).
4.2Tax Matters Partner. The Managing Member is hereby designated as “tax matters partner” as defined in Code Section 6231 (the“TMP”), with the powers and duties of a tax matters partner under the Code. The Company shall pay for all costs incurred in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting judicial and administrative proceedings, and the TMP is authorized to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The TMP shall keep the Members informed of all administrative and/or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of partnership items (as defined in Section 6231(a)(3) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder).
4.3Federal Income Tax Elections.The TMP, on behalf of the Company, may make all elections for federal income tax purposes, including, without limitation, the following:
(a)Use of Accelerated Depreciation Methods.To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, the Company may elect to use an accelerated depreciation method on any depreciable portion of Company Property.
(b)Adjustment of Basis of Assets.In case of a transfer of all or part of the Membership Interest of any Member, the Company shall if requested by the transferee Member elect, pursuant to Code Sections 734, 743 and 754 to adjust the basis of the assets of the Company.
(c)Accounting Method.For financial reporting purposes, the books and records of the Company shall be kept on the accrual method of accounting applied in a consistent manner and shall reflect all transactions of the Company and be appropriate and adequate for the purposes of the Company.

Article 10
EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
10.1Exculpation. No Member shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever, in tort, contract, or otherwise, to any Person in connection with Company Property or the affairs of the Company. To the maximum extent that Delaware law in effect from time to time permits limitation of the liability of managers or officers of a Delaware limited liability company, no present or former manager or officer or other agent of the Company or of any Company Subsidiary, shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever in tort, contract or otherwise, to the Company, any Members, any trustees of any Members or holders of units of beneficial interests of any Members, or any other Person. All Persons shall look solely to Company Property for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Company. The Managing Member shall, at all times, at the expense of the Company, maintain insurance for the protection of Company Property, its Members, managers and agents in such amount as the Managing Member shall deem adequate, in the exercise of their discretion, to cover all foreseeable liability to the extent available at reasonable rates. Neither the amendment nor repeal of thisSection 10.1, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of this Agreement inconsistent with thisSection 10.1, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of the preceding sentences with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.
10.2Indemnification.
(a) The Managing Member and each Person appointed or employed by the Managing Member pursuant toSection 6.2, and the directors, officers, employees, managers and agents of the Managing Member and each such Person (each an “Indemnified Person” and collectively the “Indemnified Persons”), shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified out of Company Property and the assets of any Company Subsidiary against all claims, actions, liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees, reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding by the Company, the Liquidating Trust, the Sponsor Member or any other
11
Person, whether civil or criminal, in which the Indemnified Person may be involved or with which the Indemnified Person may be threatened: (i) in the case of the Managing Member or a Person appointed by the Managing Member pursuant toSection 6.2while in office or thereafter, by reason of his being or having been such Managing Member employee or agent including, without limitation, in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or other proceeding based on any alleged breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement, omission or act of any such Managing Member or Person in such capacity; and (ii) in the case of any director, officer, employee, manager or agent of any such Person, by reason of any such Person exercising or failing to exercise any right or power hereunder. The rights accruing to any Indemnified Person under these provisions shall not exclude any other right to which the Indemnified Person may be lawfully entitled;provided that no Indemnified Person may satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted herein, or to which the Indemnified Person may be otherwise entitled, except out of Company Property and the assets of any Company Subsidiary, and no Member shall be personally liable to any person with respect to any claim for indemnity or reimbursement or otherwise. The Managing Member may make advance payments in connection with indemnification under thisSection 10.2, provided that the Indemnified Person shall have given a written undertaking to repay any amount advanced to the Indemnified Person and to reimburse the Company in the event that it is subsequently determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to such indemnification. The Managing Member shall cause the Company to purchase such insurance as they believe, in the exercise of their discretion, adequately insures that each Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against any such claims, actions, liabilities and expenses pursuant to thisSection 10.2. Nothing contained herein shall restrict the right of the Managing Member to indemnify or reimburse such Indemnified Person in any proper case, even though not specifically provided for herein, nor shall anything contained herein restrict the right of any such Indemnified Person to contribution under applicable law.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Company under thisSection 10.2 shall (i) be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and (ii) inure to the benefit of such Indemnitee, its Affiliates and their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates and any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of such Persons.
