            7.3.7 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, no
                  Member shall be allocated in any year of the Company any Net
                  Loss to the extent such allocation would cause or increase a
                  deficit balance in such Member's Adjusted Capital Account,
                  taking into account all other allocations to be made for such
                  year pursuant to this Article 7 and the reasonably expected
                  adjustments, allocations and distributions described in
                  Section 1.704-1(b)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations. Any
                  such Net Loss that would be allocated to a Member (the
                  "Deficit Member") shall instead be allocated to the other
                  Member. Moreover, if a Deficit Member unexpectedly receives an
                  adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Section
                  1.704-1(b)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations which creates or
                  increases a deficit balance in such Member's Adjusted Capital
                  Account (computed after all other allocations to be made for
   9
                                                                               8

                  such year pursuant to this Article 7 have been tentatively
                  made as if this Section 7.3.7 were not in this Agreement),
                  such Deficit Member shall be allocated items of income and
                  gain in an amount equal to such deficit balance. This Section
                  7.3.7 is intended to comply with the qualified income offset
                  requirement of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury
                  Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently herewith.

                  allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the
                  Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of
                  such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations
                  to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would
                  have been distributed to each such Member if the Regulatory
                  Allocations had not occurred.

      7.4   Distributions. All distributions of Company cash and other property
            shall be made to the Members in proportion to their respective
            Percentage Interests; provided, however, that the provisions of this
            Section 7.4 shall not apply upon the liquidation of the Company or
            upon the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets,
            it being understood that in such circumstances the provisions of
            Section 16.4 shall apply.
