The Managing Member shall determine the timing and the aggregate amount of Distributions to the Members under Section 6.1(a), in its sole discretion, and shall make the Distributions required by Section 6.1(b) in the due course of business as and when the Managing Member determines that funds become available, and subject in all events to any reserves determined by the Managing Member to be appropriate, including, without limitation and by way of example, to address liabilities or expenses that are either contingent or have not yet been determined or come due and to address any future anticipated expenses. The relative amount of any such Distributions to any Member at any time shall be determined in accordance with this Section 6.1.
(a) Distributions. Except for Liquidating Distributions, Distributions shall be made as follows:
| - 7 - |
(i) First, to the Class A Member until it has received an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Cash Advance Accrual Amount, plus (y) the Management Fee Accrual Amount, plus (z) $24,500,000; and

6.3. Withholding, Taxes Imposed on the Partnership.
(a) All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any federal, state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company in respect of a Member shall be treated for all other purposes of this Agreement as amounts distributed to such Member. In addition, the Managing Member is authorized to withhold from Distributions to Members, and to pay over to the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign government any amounts so required to be withheld, and any such withheld amounts shall be treated as amounts loaned to such Member. The withholdings by the Company referred to in this Section 6.3 shall be made at the maximum statutory rate under applicable laws unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, or other evidence satisfactory to the Managing Member, that a lower rate is applicable, or that no withholding is required or otherwise necessary. The provisions of this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination, dissolution and winding up of the Company. All Members shall provide the Managing Member with a properly completed and signed IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN-E, as appropriate, upon becoming a Member, at such time such previously delivered form becomes inaccurate or expires and at such times as requested by the Managing Member produce any information or document reasonably necessary to determine and effect withholdings.
(b) The parties acknowledge that ownership of an interest in the Company, including as a Profits Interest Holder, could result in such member being (i) allocated income (or losses) that are considered effectively connected with a U.S trade or business for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) required to file a U.S. federal income tax return.
(c) To the extent the Company at any time is required to pay any taxes that are attributable to a Member of the Company (including a Profits Interest Holder), such Member shall indemnify the Company for any such taxes.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Company or any of its Affiliates applies any set- off pursuant to the preceding sentence against any Member, such Member’s obligation to indemnify the Company pursuant to the second preceding sentence will be reduced by the amount of such set-off.
| - 8 - |
6.4. Property Distributions and Installment Sales. If any assets of the Company shall be distributed in kind pursuant to this Section 6.4, such assets shall be distributed to the Members entitled thereto in the same proportions as the Members would have been entitled to cash Distributions. The amount by which the Fair Value of any property to be distributed in kind to the Members exceeds or is less than the then prevailing Asset Value of such property shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized by the Company, be taken into account in determining Net Profit and Net Loss and determining the Capital Accounts of the Members as if such property had been sold at its Fair Value immediately prior to such Distribution.
6.5. Net Profit or Net Loss.
(a) The “Net Profit” or “Net Loss” of the Company for each year or relevant part thereof shall mean the Company’s taxable income or loss for federal income tax purposes for such period (including all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code), with the following adjustments:
(i) Gain or loss attributable to the disposition of property of the Company with an Asset Value different from the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes shall be computed with respect to the Asset Value of such property, and any tax gain or loss not included in Net Profit or Net Loss shall be taken into account and allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Members pursuant to Section 6.7.
(ii) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, depreciation, amortization or cost recovery deductions allowable with respect to any property the Asset Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes shall be equal to an amount that bears the same ratio to such beginning Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions for such period bear to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the adjusted tax basis of the property at the beginning of such period is zero, depreciation shall be determined with respect to such asset using any reasonable method selected by the Managing Member.
(iii) Any items that are required to be specially allocated pursuant to Section 6.6 shall not be taken into account in determining Net Profit or Net Loss.
(b) Allocations of Income, Gain, Loss, Deduction and Credit. Net Profit or Net Loss of the Company or to the extent appropriate items thereof for any relevant period shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Accounts of each Member, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, are, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the Distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 6.1(a) if the Company were dissolved and terminated and its affairs were wound up.
6.6. Regulatory Allocations. Although the Members do not anticipate that events will arise that will require application of this Section 6.6, provisions are included in this Agreement governing the allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit (and items thereof) as may be necessary to provide that the Company’s allocation provisions contain a so-called “Qualified Income Offset” and comply with all provisions relating to the allocation of so-called “Non-recourse Deductions” and “Partner Non-recourse Deductions” and the chargeback thereof as set forth in the regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code (such regulatory allocations, “Regulatory Allocations”); provided, however, that the Members intend that all Regulatory Allocations that may be required shall be offset by other Regulatory Allocations or special allocations of items so that the share of the Net Profit and Net Loss of the Company of each Member will be the same as it would have been had the events requiring the Regulatory Allocations not occurred. For this purpose the Managing Member, based on the advice of the Company’s auditors or tax counsel, is hereby authorized to make such special curative allocations as may be appropriate.

(b) Contributed Assets.

(c) Revalued Assets. If the Asset Value of any asset of the Company is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.2, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account such adjustment in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) Elections and Limitations. The allocations required by this Section 6.7 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect either the allocation of Net Profits or Net Losses as between Members or any Member’s Capital Account.

If during any year of the Company there is a change in any Member’s interest in the Company, the Managing Member shall confer with the tax advisors to the Company and, in conformity with such advice, allocate the Net Profit or Net Loss to the Members so as to take into account the varying interests of the Members in the Company in a manner that complies with the provisions of Section 706 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
6.9. Tax Position.

All amounts indemnified shall be advanced as incurred, and shall be treated as Cash Advances. The Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely on the advice of outside legal counsel and accountants as to the nature and scope of its responsibilities and authority, and any act or omission of the Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative pursuant to such advice in no event shall subject the Tax Matters Partner or Partnership Representative to liability to the Company or any Member.

In no event shall the Class A Member or any of its Indemnified Parties be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company or to the Members for any loss that arises out of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the Class A Member pursuant to this Agreement, unless such action or omission constitutes intentional common law fraud as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.

Any Person who is within the definition of “Indemnified Party” at the time of any action or inaction in connection with the business of the Company shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 11 as an “Indemnified Party” with respect thereto, regardless of whether such Person continues to be within the definition of “Indemnified Party” at the time of such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification or exculpation hereunder.
