Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. Subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to distribute such amounts, at such times, as the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine, to the Holders as of any Partnership Record Date: (i) first, with respect to any Partnership Units that are entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of Holders of such class(es) of Partnership Units (and, within each such class, among the Holders of each such class, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests of such class on such Partnership Record Date); and (ii) second, with respect to any Partnership Units that are not entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of Holders of such class(es) of Partnership Units, as applicable (and, within each such class, among the Holders of each such class, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests of such class on such Partnership Record Date). Distributions payable with respect to any Partnership Units, other than any Partnership Units issued to the General Partner in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares by the General Partner, that were not outstanding during the entire quarterly period in respect of which any distribution is made shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Partnership Units were outstanding. The General Partner shall make such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the General Partner’s qualification as a REIT, to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the General Partner, for so long as the General Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”) and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the General Partner, eliminate any U.S. federal income or excise tax liability of the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything in the forgoing to the contrary, a Holder of LTIP Units will only be entitled to distributions with respect to an LTIP Unit as set forth in Article 16 hereof and in making distributions pursuant to this Section 5.1, the General Partner of the Partnership shall take into account the provisions of Section 16.4 hereof.
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute quarterly all, or such portion as the General Partner may in its discretion determine, of Available Cash generated by the Partnership to the Partners who are Partners on the applicable Partnership Record Date with respect to such distribution, (1) first, with respect to any class or series of Partnership Interests that are entitled to any preference in distributions, in accordance with the rights of such class or series of Partnership Interests (and within such class or series, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests on the applicable Partnership Record Date), and (2) second, with respect to any class or series of Partnership Interests that are not entitled to any preference in distributions, pro rata to each such class or series in accordance with the terms of such class or series to the Partners who are Partners of such class or series on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such distribution (and within each such class or series, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests on such Partnership Record Date). Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein or in an agreement, if any, entered into in connection with the creation of a new class or series of Partnership Interests created in accordance with Article 4, no Partnership Interest shall be entitled to a distribution in preference to any other Partnership Interest. The General Partner shall take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with its qualification as a REIT, to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the General Partner, for so long as the General Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (“REIT Requirements”), and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the General Partner, avoid the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability on the General Partner.
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. The General Partner shall distribute at least quarterly all or such portion as the General Partner may in its sole discretion determine of Available Cash generated by the Partnership during such quarter or shorter period to the Partners that are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter or shorter period in the following priority:
A. First, to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests in arrears with respect to the immediately preceding calendar quarter in an amount equal to (1) the sum of (a) the General Partner’s reasonable estimate of the Net Income allocable to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests under Section 6.1.A.(ii) with respect to such immediately preceding calendar quarter and (b) the General Partner’s determination of the Net Income so allocated in prior calendar quarters in the same calendar year, reduced by (2) the sum of (a) all distributions previously made under this subsection or under subsection B. with respect to all calendar quarters during the same calendar year and (b) any Net Loss allocable to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests in such calendar quarter or any preceding calendar quarter of the same calendar year under Section 6.1.B.
B. Second, to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests; provided, that in no event may a Partner receive a distribution of Available Cash with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a distribution out of such Available Cash with respect to a REIT Share for which such Partnership Unit has been exchanged, and any such distribution shall be made to the Company; and provided, further, that no LTIP Unitholder shall receive any distribution of Available Cash if and to the extent the balance of such LTIP Unitholder’s Adjusted Capital Account would be equal to or less than zero after such distribution is made unless the balances of the Adjusted Capital Accounts of all Partners in the Partnership would also be equal to or less than zero after such distribution is made. The General Partner shall take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the Company’s qualification as a REIT, to distribute Available Cash to the Limited Partners so as to preclude any such distribution or portion thereof from being treated as part of a sale of property to the Partnership by a Limited Partner under Section 707 of the Code or the Regulat...
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. (a) Within 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter the Partnership shall distribute to the Partners and retain for reinvestment in its business in accordance with this Article V, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such calendar quarter. Distributions of Available Cash by the Partnership to the Partners shall be made as of the Record Date selected by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion. All amounts of Available Cash distributed and retained by the Partnership on any date from any source shall be deemed to be Cash from Operations until the sum of all amounts of Available Cash theretofore distributed by the Partnership to the Partners pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement or any substantially similar provisions of any other Prior Agreements and Section 5.5 and retained by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.5 equals the aggregate amount of all Cash from Operations of the Partnership from the Partnership Inception through the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding such distribution and retention. Any remaining amounts of Available Cash distributed and retained by the Partnership on such date shall be deemed to be Cash from Interim Capital Transactions.
(b) Notwithstanding the definitions of Available Cash and Cash from Operations contained herein, disbursements (including, without limitation, contributions to any Subsidiary or disbursements on behalf of any Subsidiary) made or cash reserves established after the end of any calendar quarter shall be deemed to have been made or established, for purposes of determining Available Cash and Cash from Operations, within such quarter if the General Partner so determines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, all proceeds of such liquidation shall be applied and distributed in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Sections 14.3 and 14.4.
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute quarterly all, or such portion deemed appropriate by the General Partner, of Available Cash generated by the Partnership during such quarter to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter in accordance with their respective Partnership Interests on such Partnership Record Date. The General Partner shall take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the qualification of Crescent Equities as a REIT, to distribute Available Cash to the Limited Partners so as to preclude any such distribution or portion thereof from being treated as part of a sale of property to the Partnership by a Limited Partner under Section 707 of the Code or the Regulations thereunder; provided that the General Partner and the Partnership shall not have any liability to a Limited Partner under any circumstances as a result of any distribution to a Limited Partner being so treated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable Crescent Equities to pay shareholder dividends that will (i) allow Crescent Equities to achieve and maintain qualification as a REIT, and (ii) avoid the imposition of any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. The Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute quarterly all, or such portion as the Managing Member may in its discretion determine, of Available Cash among the Members (i) first, with respect to any class of Membership Interests issued pursuant to Section 4.2(a), 4.2(b) or 4.2(c), including Series A Preferred Units, Series C Preferred Units and Series D Preferred Units, which are entitled to a preference over Common Units on the distribution of Available Cash and are specially allocated items under Section 6.1 prior to allocated items with respect to amounts distributed pursuant to clause (ii) below (and within and among such classes, in order of the preferences designated therein and pro rata among any such classes), and (ii) thereafter, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests from time to time as determined by the Managing Member; provided that Available Cash for each calendar quarter shall be distributed on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year in an amount with respect to each Membership Unit at least equal to the Minimum Tax Distribution; provided, however, that in no event may a Member receive a distribution of Available Cash with respect to a Unit if such Member is entitled to receive a dividend from the Managing Member which is derived from a distribution of Available Cash to the Managing Member with respect to a Common Share for which such Unit has been redeemed or exchanged. In the event the Company is subject to any tax or other obligation that is attributable to the interest of one or more Members in the Company, but fewer than all the Members, such tax or other obligation shall be specially allocated to, and charged against the Capital Account of, such Member or Members, and the amounts otherwise distributable to such Member or Members pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by such amount. The Managing Member shall take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with its qualification as a REIT, to cause the Company to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the Managing Member, for so long as the Managing Member has determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (“REIT Requirements”), and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the Managing Member, avoid any federal income or excise tax liability o...
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. Subject to the terms of any Membership Unit Designation that provides for a class or series of Company Preferred Units with a preference with respect to the payment of distributions, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute quarterly all, or such portion as the Managing Member may determine, of the Available Cash generated by the Company during such quarter to the Holders of Membership Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests of Membership Common Units on such Company Record Date. Except as otherwise agreed by the Managing Member, distributions payable with respect to any Membership Units that were not outstanding during the entire quarterly period in respect of which any distribution is made (other than any Membership Units issued to CLNS Credit in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares) shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Membership Units were outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion, may cause the Company to distribute Available Cash to the Holders on a more or less frequent basis than quarterly. The Managing Member shall make reasonable efforts to cause the Company to distribute sufficient amounts to enable CLNS Credit, for so long as CLNS Credit has determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the REIT Requirements, and (b) eliminate any U.S. federal income or excise tax liability of CLNS Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Excluded Property (or the proceeds therefrom) has not been contributed to the Company pursuant to Section 4.11, the distributions provided for above shall be calculated, to the extent possible, based on Adjusted Available Cash as if each Excluded Property had been contributed to the Company in exchange for the applicable Specified Membership Units pursuant to Section 4.11, and any distributions to be made with respect to CLNS Credit’s Membership Units shall in the aggregate be reduced to the extent of any REIT Available Cash derived from such Excluded Property.
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute at least quarterly all, or such portion as the General Partner may in its discretion determine, Available Cash and Capital Proceeds generated by the Partnership to the Partners who are Partners on the applicable Partnership Record Date with respect to such distribution, in the following order and priority:
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. (a) The General Partner shall distribute at least quarterly an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash generated by the Partnership during such quarter or shorter period to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter or shorter period (i) first, to the General Partner and the Gables Trust (in proportion to the number of Series A Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units owned by each) and the holders of the Series B Preferred Units (in proportion to the number of Series B Preferred Units owned by each) an amount equal to the sum of the Series A Preferred Unit Priority Distribution, the Series B Preferred Unit Priority Distribution and the Series C Preferred Unit Priority Distribution, provided however, in the event that Available Cash is less than the aggregate amount distributable to the holders of the Series A Preferred Units, the Series B Preferred Units and the Series C Preferred Units pursuant to the foregoing provision of this Section 5.1(a)(i), distributions shall be made to the holders of the Series A Preferred Units (as a class), the holders of the Series B Preferred Units (as a class) and the holders of the Series C Preferred Units (as a class) pro rata, in the ratio which the Series A Preferred Unit Priority Distribution, the Series B Preferred Unit Priority Distribution or the Series C Preferred Unit Priority Distribution, as applicable, bears to each other, and within each such class, pro rata, in proportion to the Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units or Series C Preferred Units, as the case may be, held by each such holder; (ii) second, to the General Partner and the Gables Trust (in proportion to the number of Series Z Preferred Units owned by each) an amount that in the aggregate equals the aggregate amount of the dividends declared and payable with respect to the Gables Trust Series Z Preferred Shares for such quarter or shorter period; and (iii) third, to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests on such Partnership Record Date; provided that in no event may a Partner receive a distribution of Available Cash with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a distribution out of such Available Cash with respect to a REIT Share for which such Partnership Unit has been redeemed or exchanged, and further provided that no distributions shall be made pursuant to clause (iii) above unless all cumulative dividends with respect to any...
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. A. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.7 and 5.8 hereof, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute quarterly on the LLC Distribution Date all Available Cash generated by the Company during the calendar quarter most recently ended prior to the LLC Distribution Date (the “Payment Quarter”) as follows:
(1) First, to the holders of the Non-Managing Member Units, in accordance with their relative Preferred Return Shortfalls at the end of the Payment Quarter, until the Preferred Return Shortfall for each holder of Non-Managing Member Units at the end of the Payment Quarter is zero (0), provided, however, that in the event a Reduction Date occurs during any Payment Quarter, a distribution shall be made under this Section 5.1.A(1) on the LLC Distribution Date associated with such Payment Quarter to the holder or holders of the Reduction Units in an amount determined by multiplying the amount that would have been distributed on the LLC Distribution Date under this Section 5.1.A(1) in respect of the Reduction Units had they been outstanding on the last day of such Payment Quarter by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days beginning on the first (1st) day of the Payment Quarter relating to the LLC Distribution Date and ending on the Reduction Date and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Quarter in which the Reduction Date occurs.
(2) Second, to the Managing Member until the Managing Member has received an amount equal to the excess (the “Managing Member Shortfall”), if any, of (A) the amount of cash that must be distributed to the Managing Member such that aggregate distributions of cash pursuant to Sections 5.1.A(1), 5.1.A(2), 5.6.A(1) and 5.6.B(1) shall have been made to all Members pro rata to the Members’ Percentage Interests, over (B) the sum of all prior distributions to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 5.1.A(2) and Sections 5.6.A(1) and 5.6.B(1).
(3) Thereafter, the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, cause the Company to distribute all Available Cash remaining after the distributions provided for in Section 5.1.A(1)
