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), ) or 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 Membership 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 of the Managing Member, except to the extent that a distribution pursuant to clause (b) would prevent the Company from making a distribution to the Holders of Series A Preferred Units in accordance with Section 17.2, the Holders of Series C Preferred Units in accordance with Section 18.2 and the Holders of Series D Preferred Units in accordance with Section 19.2.
