Β
Β
IRR-Based Profits Interest Units of each such Tranche will participate in such distribution in accordance with their terms and this Agreement).Β In determining the amount distributable to each Member in each Tranche, the provisions of this SectionΒ 9.1 shall be applied in an iterative manner with respect to the participation of Profits Interest Units in such Tranche.

(a)Β Β Β Β Each Member shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each Person who is or who is deemed to be the responsible withholding agent for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes against all claims, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature (other than any claims, liabilities and expenses in the nature of penalties and accrued interest thereon that result from such Personβs fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence) relating to such Personβs obligation to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Company or as a result of such Memberβs participation in the Company.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding any other provision of this ArticleΒ IX, (i)Β each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Member or as a result of such Memberβs participation in the Company and (ii)Β if and to the extent that the Company shall be required to withhold or pay any such taxes (including any amounts withheld from amounts payable to the Company to the extent attributable, in the judgment of the Board, to such Memberβs Interest), such Member shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received a payment from the Company as of the time such withholding or tax is required to be paid, which payment shall be deemed to be a distribution with respect to such Memberβs Interest to the extent that the Member (or any successor to such Memberβs Interest) is then entitled to receive a distribution.Β To the extent that the aggregate of such payments to a Member for any period exceeds the distributions to which such Member is entitled for such period, such Member shall make a prompt payment to the Company of such overage amount.Β If the Company makes a distribution in kind and such distribution is subject to withholding or other taxes payable by the Company on behalf of any Member, such Member shall make a prompt payment to the Company of the amount of such withholding or other taxes by wire transfer.

SectionΒ 9.6Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Members are allocated taxable income from the Company (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, taxable income that arises from the receipt of equity interests from the Company or its Subsidiaries), the Company shall make distributions to such Members to the extent of available cash (as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion) in an amount equal to such income multiplied by a tax rate equal to 45% or such higher rate as reasonably determined by the Board to take into account increases in tax rates after the date hereof; it being understood that, if the Members are allocated material taxable income without corresponding cash distributions sufficient to pay the resulting tax liabilities, it is the
Β
Β
Companyβs intention to make the tax distributions referred to herein.Β In addition, in the event that the tax distributions to a Member pursuant to the previous sentence with regard to any calendar year are greater than such Memberβs proportionate share of distributions under SectionΒ 9.1, then, to the extent of available cash, an additional amount shall be distributed under this SectionΒ 9.6 and shall be apportioned among the other Members such that the total amount distributed under this SectionΒ 9.6 to all Members shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with each Memberβs proportionate share of distributions under SectionΒ 9.1.Β Any distributions made to a Member pursuant to this SectionΒ 9.6 shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, so that to the maximum extent possible, the total amount of distributions received by each Member pursuant to this Agreement at any time is the same as such Member would have received if no distribution had been made pursuant to this SectionΒ 9.6.Β Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not make any distributions under this SectionΒ 9.6 with respect to taxable income attributable to the sale, exchange or other disposition by the Company of shares of InterCo, NewBank or any other Subsidiary of the Company, including upon the occurrence of any transaction contemplated by SectionΒ 12.7 to the extent that the proceeds of such sale, exchange or other disposition are distributed to the Members.

However, the parties hereto recognize that the success of commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish this will depend in large part on the quantity and complexity of transactions and dividends that would need to be reported thereon or analyzed in connection therewith. If it becomes apparent that such K-1βs will not be able to be delivered in compliance with such requirement, despite a diligent, good faith effort to do so, the Management Members and the Company will work diligently and in good faith with the Investor Members to deliver such K-1βs as expeditiously as reasonably possible.

Β
Β
principles used in determining, the initial Quarterly Valuation, unless such valuation and appraisal methods or principles are, in the judgment of the Board, no longer customary or appropriate). The Company shall bear the fees and expenses of each Quarterly Valuation.

The determination of Fair Market Value in accordance with the foregoing shall be final and binding on all Members for purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of the Common Units issued after the Closing; it being understood that the determination of Fair Market Value for purposes of the put and call rights applicable to Management Members under a Management Profits Interest Unit Agreement shall be determined exclusively in accordance with the provisions of such Management Profits Interest Unit Agreements, which determination in accordance therewith shall be final and binding on all the Members and the Company.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding the foregoing, Members holding Common Units representing a Percentage Interest of at least 33% may require (by delivery of written notice to the Company no later than 15 days after the end of any calendar month) that an appraisal of the Fair Market Value of the Companyβs equity be conducted as of the end of such calendar month; provided, that if such request is made and such appraisal shall be completed prior to any issuance of Common Units for which an appraisal would be required in accordance with the foregoing, such appraisal shall be used in lieu of the most recent Quarterly Valuation.Β Any such monthly appraisal shall be done using valuation and appraisal methods as are customary and appropriate in the industry, and to the extent performed by the same Valuation Firm, such appraisal shall be on a basis consistent with, and without material changes to the valuation and appraisal methods or principles used in determining, the initial Quarterly Valuation, unless such valuation and appraisal methods or principles are no longer customary or appropriate.
