Distributions of Available Cash From Operating Surplus (a) During Subordination Period. Available Cash with respect to any Quarter within the Subordination Period that is deemed to be Operating Surplus pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3 or 6.5 shall, subject to Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act, be distributed as follows, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 5.6 in respect of other Partnership Securities issued pursuant thereto:
Distributions of Available Cash from Capital Surplus Available Cash that is deemed to be Capital Surplus pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3(a) shall be distributed, unless the provisions of Section 6.3 require otherwise, to the General Partner and the Unitholders, Pro Rata, until a hypothetical holder of a Common Unit acquired on the Closing Date has received with respect to such Common Unit distributions of Available Cash that are deemed to be Capital Surplus in an aggregate amount equal to the Initial Unit Price. Available Cash that is deemed to be Capital Surplus shall then be distributed (A) to the General Partner in accordance with its Percentage Interest and (B) to all Unitholders holding Common Units, Pro Rata, a percentage equal to 100% less the General Partner’s Percentage Interest, until there has been distributed in respect of each Common Unit then Outstanding an amount equal to the Cumulative Common Unit Arrearage. Thereafter, all Available Cash shall be distributed as if it were Operating Surplus and shall be distributed in accordance with Section 6.4.
Distributions of Cash Flow Cash flow for each taxable year of the Company shall be distributed to the Member at such times and in such amounts as the Member shall determine.
Cash Flow Distributions The Cash Flow of the Company, if any, shall be distributed to the Member subject to any limitations on the Company’s ability to make distributions imposed by the Company’s lenders or by applicable law.
Distributions of Available Cash An amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to each fiscal quarter of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners within forty-five days after the end of such quarter as follows:
Cash Available for Distribution Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.3, 5.4, 12.2(c) and 13.2, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute, at such times as the General Partner shall determine (each a “Distribution Date”), an amount of Cash Available for Distribution, determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion to the Partners holding GP Units, OP Units and/or Class B Units who are Partners on the applicable Partnership Record Date, in accordance with each such Partner’s respective Percentage Interest.
Distributions of Net Cash Flow The Net Cash Flow of the Partnership for each calendar year, shall be distributed to the Partners from time to time, in the discretion of the General Partner, in accordance with the Percentage Interests of the Partners.
Excess Cash Flow No later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to each fiscal year of Holdings ending on or after December 31, 2019 in which an Excess Cash Flow Period occurs are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) (each such date, an “ECF Payment Date”), the Borrower shall, if and to the extent Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period exceeds $1,375,000, make prepayments of Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(h) and (i) in an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended (for the avoidance of doubt, including the $1,375,000 floor referenced above) (B) minus $1,375,000 minus (C) at the option of the Borrower, the aggregate principal amount of (x) any Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans (or, in each case, any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), in each case prepaid pursuant to Section 2.10(a), Section 2.16(b)(B) or Section 10.02(e)(i) (or pursuant to the corresponding provisions of the documentation governing any such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) (in the case of any prepayment of Revolving Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Loans, solely to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitment), during the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period (or, at the option of the Borrower and without duplication, after such Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to such ECF Payment Date) and (y) the amount of any reduction in the outstanding amount of any Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans resulting from any assignment made in accordance with Section 10.04(b)(vii) of this Agreement (or the corresponding provisions of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness issued in exchange therefor), during the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period (or, at the option of the Borrower and without duplication, after such Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to such ECF Payment Date), and in the case of all such prepayments or buybacks, to the extent that (1) such prepayments or buybacks were financed with sources other than the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness to the extent intended to be repaid from operating cash flow) of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries and (2) such prepayment or buybacks did not reduce the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.10(f) in any prior Excess Cash Flow Period (such payment, the “ECF Payment Amount”).
Operating Cash Flow As used in this Agreement, “Operating Cash Flow” shall mean and be defined, for any fiscal period, as all cash receipts of the Partnership from whatever source (but excluding Capital Cash Flow and excluding the proceeds of any Capital Contributions to the Partnership) during such period in question in excess of all items of Partnership expense (other than non-cash expenses such as depreciation) and other cash needs of the Partnership, including, without limitation, amounts paid by the Partnership as principal on debts and advances, during such period, capital expenditures and any reserves (as determined by the Managing General Partner) established or increased during such period. Operating Cash Flow shall be distributed to or for the benefit of the Partners of record as of the applicable record date not less frequently than quarterly, and shall be allocated among the Partners as follows:
Tax Distributions Tax distributions shall be made not less often than quarterly to each Member at the times (other than at the time of a Terminating Capital Event) necessary to provide the Members with sufficient minimum cash distributions to pay an amount equal to their quarterly estimated (and final annual) tax liabilities for all taxable periods directly related to taxable income (in excess of losses allocated to such Member for all prior periods) reportable by such Member as set forth on U.S. Schedule K-1 with respect to such Member’s interest in the LLC (including with respect to any year in which such Member sold its interest, whether during or after employment); provided, however, that each of the foregoing amounts shall be determined, in the case of a Member that is itself a pass-through entity, as if the equity owners of such Member were themselves Members of the LLC; and, provided, further, that the amount of such distributions shall be computed assuming the highest combined federal and state individual income tax rate in Texas and assuming (unless federal tax law is amended to provide otherwise) state taxes are deductible federally (such distributions, “Tax Distributions”) and shall take into account any amounts withheld and remitted to any tax authority by the LLC pursuant to any Withholding Tax Act as described in Section 7(k). Tax Distributions shall also be made within 30 days after the receipt of a final assessment with respect to any federal or state income tax audit of the LLC’s income tax returns. Tax Distributions shall be treated as advances of distributions that would otherwise be made in the absence of provisions of this Section 6(c), and distributions made pursuant to Section 6(a) shall be taken into account in determining the amount to be distributed pursuant hereto. If, following the end of any Fiscal Year, the LLC determines that it has made Tax Distributions to a Member that exceed the amount of distributions that would otherwise have been made to such Member with respect to such Fiscal Year in the absence of this Section 6(c), the LLC shall be authorized to recover such excess amount by reducing future distributions to such Member; provided, however, that the LLC shall retain the right, exercisable in its discretion, to recover any unpaid portion of such excess amount directly from such Member (or former Member). For the avoidance of doubt, it is the meaning and intention of this Section 6(c) that Tax Distributions shall fully and timely fund the federal and state income tax liability attributable to any taxable income (in excess of losses allocated to a Member for all prior periods) reportable by a Member as set forth on U.S. Schedule K-1 with respect to such Member’s LLC Interest (or, if such Member is itself a pass-through entity, the equity owners thereof), and, to the extent that Tax Distributions do not fully achieve this result, the LLC shall use reasonable efforts to accelerate or increase Tax Distributions accordingly, including, if reasonably practicable, following the occurrence of a Terminating Capital Event if the timing of the winding up and dissolution of the LLC following such Terminating Capital Event is such that income tax liability on amounts to be distributed on account thereof must be paid by the Members in the interim, and provided, however, that it shall not be deemed reasonable for the LLC to accelerate or increase Tax Distributions in the event that doing so would result in the LLC’s failing to have reasonable working capital reserves or would cause the LLC not to be in compliance with regulatory requirements, although in any such event the LLC would use reasonable efforts to borrow the funds necessary to accelerate or increase such Tax Distributions so as to fully and timely fund the federal and state income tax liabilities of the Members (or the equity owners of Members that are themselves pass-through entities).
