Whenever the Venture would be permitted to adjust the Capital Accounts of the Venturers pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Venture property, the Venture shall so adjust the Capital Accounts of the Venturers. In the event that the Capital Accounts of the Venturers are adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Venture property, (i) the Capital Accounts of the Venturers shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property, (ii) the Venturers’ distributive shares of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such property shall be determined so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of such property in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and (iii) the amount of upward and/or downward adjustments to the book value of the Venture property shall be treated as income, gain, deduction and/or loss for purposes of applying the allocation provisions of Section 5.2.

After application of Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, and subject to the other provisions of this Article 5, all remaining items of Venture income, gain, loss and deduction as determined for book purposes for the taxable year shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Venturers in such a manner as shall cause the Capital Accounts of the Venturers (as adjusted through the end of such Fiscal Year or other period) to equal, as nearly as possible, in the same proportionate amounts as (a) the amount such Venturers would receive if all assets of the Venture on hand at the end of such Fiscal Year or other period were sold for cash equal to their book values, all liabilities of the Venture were satisfied in cash in accordance with their terms (limited in the case of non-recourse liabilities to the book value of the property securing such liabilities), and all remaining or resulting cash was distributed to the Venturers under Section 6.2 minus (b) such Venturer’s share of Venture Minimum Gain (as defined below) and Venturer Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as defined below), computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may adjust the allocations made pursuant to this Agreement as long as such adjusted allocations are intended to be in accordance with the interests of the Venturers in the Venture and in accordance with section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

5.3           Loss Limitation. Net loss allocated pursuant to Section 5.2 shall not exceed the maximum amount of net loss that can be allocated without causing or increasing a deficit balance in a Venturer’s Adjusted Capital Account after application of the Qualified Income Offset described in Section 5.5. A Venturer’s “Adjusted Capital Account” balance shall mean such Venturer’s Capital Account balance increased by such Venturer’s obligation to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account, including any deemed obligation pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and decreased by the amounts described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6).

5.4           Minimum Gain Chargebacks and Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a)           Venture Minimum Gain Chargeback. In the event there is a net decrease in Venture Minimum Gain during a Fiscal Year (or if there was a net decrease in Venture Minimum Gain for a prior Fiscal Year and the Venture did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior Fiscal Years to allocate among the Venturers under this Section 5.4(a)), the Venturers shall be allocated items of income and gain in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Venture Minimum Gain” shall have the meaning for partnership minimum gain set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2), and any Venturer’s share of Venture Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1). This Section 5.4(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

(b)           Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Venturers pro rata in accordance with their Ownership Percentages.

To the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), any items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Venture that are attributable to a nonrecourse debt of the Venture that constitutes Venturer Nonrecourse Debt (including chargebacks of Venturer Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain) shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Venturer Nonrecourse Debt” shall have the meaning for partner nonrecourse debt set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4), and the term “Venturer Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain” shall have the meaning for partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2). This Section 5.4(c) is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) (including the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

5.5           Qualified Income Offset. Any Venturer who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes or increases a deficit balance in its Capital Account in excess of any obligation to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account (including any deemed deficit restoration obligation pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and (i)(5), and adjusted as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) shall be allocated items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income, including gross income, and gain for the Fiscal Year) in an amount and a manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, such deficit balance as quickly as possible. This Section 5.5 is intended to constitute a qualified income offset under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

5.6           Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.4 and Section 5.5 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 5 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account as provided for in the following sentence. Income, gain, loss and deduction shall be reallocated to the extent that such reallocation causes the net aggregate amount of allocations of income, gain, deduction and loss to each Venturer to be equal to or more closely approximate the net aggregate amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Venturer if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

5.7           Tax Allocations. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.7 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken not account in computing, any Venturer’s Capital Account or share of income, gain, deduction or loss or other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. Except as otherwise required by the Code and Treasury Regulations, items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit, as determined for tax purposes, shall be allocated to and among the Venturers in the same manner that the corresponding book items were allocated to the Venturers’ Capital Accounts in accordance with this Article 5. In the event the book value of any asset of the Venture is adjusted pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement (not including herein the initial booking of any asset contributed to the Venture), subsequent allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction, as determined for tax purposes, with respect to such asset of the Venture shall be determined and allocated among the Venturers so as to account for any book-tax disparity arising from such adjustment in the same manner as would occur as to an asset contributed to the Venture under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  The Board shall determine the method of allocation from among the reasonable methods allowable by Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

5.8           Other Tax and Allocation Provisions. In the event it becomes necessary to make any elections or decisions relating to the allocations of Venture items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and/or with respect to any tax matters, BKV shall bring such elections or other decisions to the attention of the Board, and such elections or other decisions shall be made as directed by the Board in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Further, the Venture may, if the Board reasonably so elects, make an election pursuant to Code Section 754 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and a corresponding election under the applicable sections of state and local law).

Article 6. DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1           Reserves. The Venture shall maintain such reserves at the Venture level as the Board shall reasonably require in light of potential obligations of the Venture. This obligation shall be reflected in the Annual Budget.

6.2           Distributions.
