B. | The following definitions shall be added to Article I as follows:

‘“Corporation’s Cash Contribution” has the meaning set forth in Section 11.02.’

C. | The definition of “Redeemed Units Equivalent” shall be amended in its entirety as follows (with emphasis on the amended provisions):

D. | Section 4.01(b) is hereby amended in its entirety as follows (with emphasis on the amended provisions):

“Section 4.01. Distributions.
(b) Tax Distributions
(i)On or about each date (a “Tax Distribution Date”) that is five (5) Business Days prior to each due date for the U.S. federal income tax return of an individual calendar year taxpayer (without regard to extensions) (or, if earlier, the due date for the U.S. federal income tax return of the Corporation, as determined without regard to extensions), the Company shall be required to make a Distribution to each Member of cash in an amount equal to the excess of such Member’s Assumed Tax Liability, if any, for such taxable period over the less (A) any Distributions previously made to such Member pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) with respect to such taxable period; (B) any payments previously made by the Company on behalf of such Member to any taxing authorities (e.g., non-resident withholding, composite tax payments, etc.); and (C) any adjustment deemed necessary by the Company to incorporate any revisions for the use of estimated versus actual taxable income of the Company, as determined for federal income tax purposes, when calculating the Assumed Tax Liability of such Member for any prior taxable periods (the “Tax Distributions”). For the avoidance of doubt, any Tax Distribution with respect to a Member under this Section 4.01(b) is to be considered an advance of a Distribution under Section 4.01(a).
(ii)To the extent a Member’s Assumed Tax Liability otherwise would be entitled to receive is less than its the product of (A) the Member’s Percentage Interest, as of the Tax Distribution Date, of multiplied by (B) the aggregate Tax Distribution (with respect to that tax period)s to be paid pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) on any given date, the Tax Distributions to such Member shall be increased (such increase, the “Gross-Up Tax Distribution”) to ensure that all Distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) are made pro rata in accordance with such Member’s Percentage Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, Gross-Up Tax Distributions shall only be made to those Members whose Assumed Tax Liability is less than the product of the Member’s Percentage Interest as of the Tax Distribution Date multiplied by the aggregate Tax Distribution (with respect to that taxable period).
(iii)(ii)If, on a Tax Distribution Date, there are insufficient funds on hand to distribute to the Members the full amount of the Tax Distributions to which such Members are otherwise entitled, Distributions pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) shall be made to the Members to the extent of available funds in accordance with their Percentage Interests, and the Company shall make future Tax Distributions as soon as funds become available sufficient to pay the remaining portion of the Tax Distributions to which such Members are otherwise entitled. Any such future Tax Distributions shall be distributed to such Members and the successors of such former Members, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Distributions were made to such Members and former Members pursuant to Section 4.01(a)

and this Section 4.01(b) in the relevant taxable years sufficient to cover such remaining portion.
(iv)(iii)In the event of any audit by, or similar event with, a taxing authority that affects the calculation of any Member’s Assumed Tax Liability for any taxable year, or in the event the Company files an amended tax return, each Member’s Assumed Tax Liability with respect to such year shall be recalculated by giving effect to such event (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account interest or penalties). Any shortfall in the amount of Tax Distributions the Members and former Members received for the relevant taxable years based on such recalculated Assumed Tax Liability promptly shall be distributed to such Members and the successors of such former Members, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Distributions were made to such Members and former Members pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and this Section 4.01(b) in the relevant taxable years sufficient to cover such shortfall.
(v)(iv)Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions pursuant to this Section 4.01(b), if any, shall be made to a Member only to the extent all previous Distributions to such Member pursuant to Section 4.01(a) with respect to the Fiscal Year are less than the Distributions such Member otherwise would have been entitled to receive with respect to such Fiscal Year pursuant to this Section 4.01(b).”

E. | Section 5.02 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

“Section 5.02. Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.03 and Section 5.04, Net Profits and Net Losses for any Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests(and, to the extent necessary, and if determined appropriate by the Company in its sole judgment, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company) for any Fiscal Year or Fiscal Period, as the case may be, shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member after such allocation is, to the greatest extent possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount of any distributions that would be made pursuant to Section 14.02(d) upon dissolution of the Company.”

F. | Section 6.01 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows (with emphasis on the amended provisions):

“Section 6.06. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Manager shall not be compensated for its services as Manager of the Company except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

To the extent practicable, expenses incurred by the Manager on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company and, if and to the extent any reimbursements to the Manager or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.06 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of the Company), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.”

G. | Section 9.01 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows (with emphasis on the amended provisions):

brokers’ fees or commissions) from the sale by the Corporation of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Redeemed Units to be redeemed with such Cash Settlement (the “Corporation’s Cash Contribution”); provided that the Corporation’s Capital Account shall be increased by an amount equal to any Discount relating to such sale of shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 6.06.
