WHEREAS, Manager, in its capacity as Managing Member of the Company, desires to amend the LLC Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
“Tax Distribution Amount” means, with respect to any Member, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the product of (A) the Tax Rate multiplied by (B) the estimated or actual cumulative taxable income or gain of the Company, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, allocated to such Member for any fiscal year (or portion thereof) beginning after the consummation of the Restructuring, less prior taxable loss or deductions of the Company allocated to such Member for full or partial fiscal years commencing on or after the consummation of the Restructuring, in each case, as determined by the Managing Member over (ii) the cumulative Distributions made to such Member after the consummation of the Restructuring pursuant to Section 5.03 with respect to fiscal years (including any portion thereof) beginning after the consummation of the Restructuring. The Tax Distribution Amount with respect to Manager for a fiscal year shall in no event be less than an amount that will enable Manager and PubCo to meet both their tax obligations and PubCo’s obligations pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement for the relevant fiscal year. The Tax Distribution Amounts of the Members shall be determined
taking into account the effects of Section 743(b) of the Code.
“Tax Rate” means the highest marginal tax rates for an individual or corporation that is resident in New York City or Los Angeles, California (whichever is highest) applicable to ordinary income, qualified dividend income or capital gains, as appropriate, taking into account the holding period of the assets disposed of and the year in which the taxable net income is recognized by the Company, and taking into account the deductibility of state and local income taxes as applicable at the time for federal income tax purposes and any limitations thereon including pursuant to Section 68 of the Code or Section 164 of the Code.
““Aggregate Tax Distribution Cap” means, with respect to any taxable period, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of taxable income and gain of the Company allocated to the Members by the Company with respect to such taxable period, multiplied by (ii) the Tax Rate.”
“Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement and without limiting the authority of the Company to limit Tax Distributions as a result of the unavailability of funds or limitations relating to its obligations to creditors, at the discretion of the Manager, the amount of Tax Distributions to be paid in respect of any Fiscal Year may be capped at an amount equal to or greater than the Aggregate Tax Distribution Cap (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation to pay or “catch up” in future periods any amount of Tax Distributions that are not required to be paid as a result of the operation of the limitation described in this sentence).”
