(d) Payments under Article III of the Tax Receivable Agreements shall be reduced, pro rata, by 85% of any tax cost (such as state and local taxes) resulting from the Medifax Restructuring, provided, that such reduction shall in no event exceed the amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreements solely as a result of the Medifax Restructuring.
