Distributions in Excess of Basis. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner may refrain from making, at any time prior to the dissolution of the Partnership, all or any portion of any cash distribution that otherwise would be made to a Partner or Retired Partner, if such distribution would exceed such Person’s United States federal income tax basis in the Partnership. Any amount that is not distributed to a Partner or Retired Partner due to the preceding sentence, as determined by the General Partner, either shall be retained by the Partnership on such Person’s behalf or loaned to such Person. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.4, 100% of any or all subsequent cash distributions shall be distributed to such Person (or, if there is more than one such Person, pro rata to all such Persons based on the aggregate amount of distributions each such Person has not yet received) until each such Person has received the same aggregate amount of distributions such Person would have received had distributions to such Person not been deferred pursuant to this Section 4.4. If any amount is loaned to a Partner or Retired Partner pursuant to this Section 4.4, (a) any amount thereafter distributable to such Person shall be applied to repay the principal amount of such loan, and (b) interest, if any, accrued or received by the Partnership on such loan shall be allocated and distributed to such Person. Any such loan shall be repaid no later than immediately prior to the satisfaction of all Partnership liabilities at the time of the liquidation of the Partnership. Until such repayment, for purposes of any determination hereunder based on amounts distributed to a Person, the principal amount of such loan shall be treated as having been distributed to such Person.
Distributions in Excess of Basis. In the event that the General Partner refrains from making a distribution to a Partner or Retired Partner because such distribution would exceed such Person’s United States federal income tax basis in the Partnership, subject to the terms of the applicable Award Letter, 100% of any or all subsequent cash distributions shall be distributed to such Person (or, if there is more than one such Person, pro rata to all such Persons based on the aggregate amount of distributions each such Person has not yet received) until each such Person has received the same aggregate amount of distributions such Person would have received had distributions to such Person not been deferred. If any deferred amount is loaned to a Partner or Retired Partner, (a) any amount thereafter distributable to such Person shall be applied to repay the principal amount of such loan, and (b) interest, if any, accrued or received by the Partnership on such loan shall be allocated and distributed to such Person. Subject to the Partnership Act, any such loan shall be repaid no later than immediately prior to the satisfaction of all Partnership liabilities at the time of the liquidation of the Partnership. Until such repayment, for purposes of any determination hereunder based on amounts distributed to a Person, the principal amount of such loan shall be treated as having been distributed to such Person.
