WHEREAS, PR and RRCG (each a "Member" and, collectively, the "Members")
own all of the membership interests of Holding; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March
1, 2007, Holding agreed not to make any cash distributions with respect to its
shares other than a Tax Payment Distribution as defined in the Amended and
Restated Limited Liability Operating Agreement of Holding (the "OPERATING
AGREEMENT"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to an Exchange Agreement, dated as of the date hereof
(the "EXCHANGE AGREEMENT"), PR has agreed to contribute its entire membership
interest in Holding to Enthrust Financial Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("ENTHRUST") in exchange for shares of Enthrust's common stock, par value $.001
per share (the "COMMON STOCK") and the Stockholders have agreed to contribute
their shares in RRCG to Enthrust in exchange for Common Stock (such transactions
being herein referred to as the "Exchange"); and
WHEREAS, Holding intends to make a final Tax Payment Distribution to the
Members as set forth below; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed upon the following procedures
with respect to the final Tax Payment Distribution.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. On or before the date hereof, Holding has calculated, in
conjunction with its tax advisors, an estimate of Holding's taxable income for
the period beginning on January 1, 2007 and ending on the projected closing date
(such period being herein referred to as the "SHORT PERIOD") of the Exchange
(such amount being herein referred to as the "ESTIMATED SHORT PERIOD TAXABLE
INCOME").
2. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Exchange, Holding
will distribute to PR and RRCG, 70% and 30%, respectively, an amount (the
"PRELIMINARY FINAL DISTRIBUTION") not to exceed 80% of the product of (a)
45.498% (which is the maximum combined individual, Federal, New York State and
New York City income tax rate as determined by Holding's tax advisor, and
referred to herein as the "APPLICABLE TAX RATE") and (b) the Estimated Short
Period Taxable Income.
3. Following the date on which the Exchange is consummated, and
within the periods required by applicable federal, state and local tax laws,
Holding will prepare and file final tax returns (federal, state and local) for
the Short-Period (the "FINAL TAX RETURNS"), which shall
set forth all of the items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit making up
Holding's consolidated taxable income for the Short Period ("ACTUAL SHORT PERIOD
TAXABLE INCOME") and shall deliver Schedules K-1 to each of PR and RRCG as filed
with the Final Tax Returns.
4. Within 10 days after the filing of the Final Tax Returns,
Holding shall make a supplemental payment to PR and the Stockholders, 70% and
30%, respectively, in an amount equal to (a) the product of (i) the Applicable
Tax Rate and (ii) the Actual Short Period Income ("ACTUAL TAXES") less (b) the
Preliminary Final Distribution. Any amount determined to be due to the
Stockholders shall be paid to them in accordance with their respective interests
as set forth on Schedule A hereto.
5. In the event that the Preliminary Final Distribution exceeds the
Actual Taxes (the "EXCESS DISTRIBUTION"), Holding shall so notify PR and the
Stockholders and, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, PR shall
reimburse Holding 70% of such Excess Distribution and the Stockholders shall
reimburse Holding 30% of such Excess Distribution, in accordance with their
respective interests as set forth on Schedule A hereto.
