Capital Contributions made by such Limited Partner, except that in the last Partnership Year, if

(ii) Second, within thirty (30) days after the end of each Partnership Year, to
the General Partner in an amount in each Partnership Year equal to ten percent (10%) of the Capital

distributions shall be made to the extent of Net Cash Flow and available reserves and any balance

sufficient Net Cash Flow and reserves to pay such balances. Any deferred distributions shall accrue
interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
Section 1.02. Distributions from Capital Transactions. Net Proceeds from Capital
Transactions [defined to include, e.g., substantial asset sales and refinancings] shall be distributed
to the Partners as soon as is practicable thereafter to each Partner pro rata in accordance with the

Losses (including unrealized depreciation and depreciation allocable in accordance with Section
____________) and all other Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership Year.
Section 1.03. Withholding by General Partner. If the General Partner withholds or pays tax
with respect to a Partner in accordance with applicable law, the amount of the distribution to such
Partner with respect to which such tax was required to be withheld (or in the case of a tax required
to be paid with respect to a Partner other than by reason of a distribution to such Partner,
subsequent distributions to such Partner) shall be reduced by the amount of such tax withheld or
paid.
Example 4 (Limited Liability Company Venture):
Section 1.01. Distributions.(a) Cash available or property available to be distributed in-kind by the LLC to the
Members ("Distributions") shall be determined for each Fiscal Year by the Board of Managers and
shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests within seventy-five
(75) days following the end of each Fiscal Year. Distributions also may be distributed at such other
time or times during any Fiscal Year in anticipation of the year-end determination thereof, and such
Distributions shall be subject to year-end adjustment. The Members agree that, within thirty (30)
days after determination by the LLC that an overpayment was made to any Member for any Fiscal
Year pursuant to this Section 1.01, such member shall repay the overpayment unless the Members
otherwise agree to allow such overpayment to be a credit against future Distributions, or make such
other adjustments as the Members determine to be appropriate to remedy the overpayment.
Example 5 (Provision Shifting Burden of Foreign Currency Decline to U.S. Partner and Benefits of
Local Currency Appreciation to Venture):
-3-
The following is an example of a joint venture provision providing for adjustments in the
amount of fixed dollar payments to a U.S. venture partner in the event of an increase in the
exchange rate beyond specified levels. The effect of this provision is to shift the burden of a decline
in the local currency from the venture to the U.S. partner if the currency decreases below a
specified point and also to permit the U.S. partner to benefit if the local currency appreciates in
value above a specified point.
Distributions by the Venture to the U.S. Venture Partner pursuant to Section ____ [relating
to preferred return] and payments by the Venture to the U.S. Venture Partner under the agreements
described in Section ____ [describing supply and technology licensing agreements] shall be made
in U.S. dollars in the amounts provided for in Sections ____ and ____ for so long as the "Average
Exchange Rate" (as defined below) in effect on the date the distribution or payment is due does not
exceed eight (i.e., eight pesos for each U.S. dollar). If the Average Exchange Rate exceeds eight,
then the distribution or payment shall be adjusted so that the amount due equals the multiple of (i)
the amount of the distribution or payment provided for in Section ____ or Section ____, as
relevant, and (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is seven and the denominator of which is the
Average Exchange Rate. The Average Exchange Rate shall be computed on the first business day
of each month, shall remain in effect for such month and shall equal the average of the daily
Mexican pesos to United States dollar exchange rate as reported by [identify reporting source] for
each business day during the preceding calendar month.
Thus, for example, if a fixed dollar payment of $1,000 is due to the U.S. partner, and the
exchange rate remains at eight or below, the payment to the U.S. partner remains fixed at $1,000. If
the exchange rate rises to nine, the payment to the U.S. partner drops to approximately $778
($1,000 X 7/9).
Example 6 (Provision Sharing Burden of Foreign Currency Decline Between U.S. Partner and the
Venture):
The following is an example of a joint venture provision that adjusts the amount of fixed
dollar payments to a U.S. venture partner in the event of increases or decreases in the exchange rate
so long as the exchange rate remains within specified levels. If the exchange rate falls above or
below the specified levels, then the dollar payments are fixed. The effect of this provision is that
the U.S. partner bears the burden of a currency decline so long as the decline remains within
acceptable levels. Once this level is exceeded, the venture bears the risk.
For so long as the "Average Exchange Rate" (as defined below) is greater than or equal to
six (i.e., six pesos for each U.S. dollar) and less than or equal to eight (i.e., eight pesos to one
dollar), the distributions by the Venture to the U.S. Venture Partner pursuant to Section ____
[relating to preferred return] and the payments by the Venture to the U.S. Venture Partner under the
agreements described in Section ____ [describing supply and technology licensing agreements]
shall be made in U.S. dollars in the amounts provided for in such Sections, multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is seven and the denominator of which is the Average Exchange Rate in
effect on the date the payment or distribution is due. If the Average Exchange Rate is less than six,
the payments or distributions by the Venture to the U.S. Venture Partner pursuant to Sections ____
and ____ shall be made in U.S. dollars in the amounts provided for in such Sections, multiplied by
-4-
1.167 (7/6). If the Average Exchange Rate is greater than eight, the payments or distributions by
the Venture to the U.S. Venture Partner pursuant to Sections ____ and ____ shall be made in U.S.
dollars in the amounts provided for in such Sections, multiplied by 0.875 (7/8). The Average
Exchange Rate shall be computed on the first business day of each month, shall remain in effect for
such month and shall equal the average of the daily Mexican pesos to United States dollars
exchange rate as reported by [identify reporting source] for each business day during the preceding
calendar month.Thus, for example, if a dollar payment of $1,000 is due to the U.S. partner and the exchange
rate is seven, no adjustment is made. If the exchange rate rises to 7.5, the payment to the U.S.
partner is adjusted to approximately $933 ($1,000 X 7/7.5). If the exchange rate rises above eight,
the payment is fixed at approximately $875 ($1,000 X 7/8). If the exchange rate falls below six, the
payment is fixed at approximately $1,167 ($1,000 X 7/6).
