the amount of such excess as quickly as possible.

Losses and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that
would have been allocated to each such member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
5.4 Distributions Upon Dissolution and Winding Up.
(a) Upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, distributions will

determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Company's taxable
year during which the liquidation or dissolution and winding up occurs and all anticipated
adjustments under the section. Liquidation proceeds will be paid by the end of the taxable year
(or, if later, within 90 days after the date of the liquidation or dissolution and winding up). It is
the intent of the Members, that upon liquidation or dissolution and winding up of the Company,
any liquidation proceeds available for distributions to the Members be distributed in accordance
with the Members' respective Capital Account balances and the Members agree that the special
allocations shall be made to cause the Members' respective Capital Account balances to equal the
distributions contemplated under Section 5.2.
(b) If any assets of the Company are to be distributed in kind, the assets shall be
distributed on the basis of their then fair market value and the Profit and Loss which would have
been realized had such assets been sold at such fair market value shall be deemed realized and
allocated to the members in accordance with Section 5.1 and credited or charged to their capital
accounts, even though no gain or loss may be recognized for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such distribution. Any Member other than the VLHA entitled to an interest in the assets
shall receive its interest as a tenant-in-common with all other Members so entitled. The fair
market value of assets shall be determined by an appraiser selected by the Manager, subject to
the approval of the other Members, which approval shall not unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. The VLHA is not entitled to an interest in assets of the Company under this Section.
5.5 Tax Distributions. For each Fiscal Year the Company will, not later than 90 days
following the end of such Fiscal Year, to the extent that there is Cash Flow to distribute to each
Member, make a distribution in an amount equal to such Member's Presumed Tax Liability for
the immediately prior Fiscal Year(a "Tax Distribution"). Any amount distributed pursuant to this
Section 5.5 will be deemed to be an advance distribution of amounts otherwise distributable to
the Members pursuant to Section 5.2(a) and will reduce the amounts that would subsequently
otherwise be distributable to the Members pursuant to such provision.
