Medley shall be entitled, with the unanimous consent of Medley and the Fortress Investors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to adjust the allocation of items of income, gain, loss and deductions under each of the SPV LLC Agreements, for book and tax purposes, in manner intended to give effect to the economic provisions set forth in this Agreement.

3.6 Tax Advances.

To the extent that Medley reasonably determines that an SPV is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any of the Fortress Investors (a “Tax Advance”), such SPV may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made or required to be made on behalf of any of the Fortress Investors shall, as determined by Medley in its sole discretion, (a) to the extent no distribution is pending or reasonably foreseeable to be offset with ten (10) days of the Tax Advance being made or the SPV does not have sufficient available cash to make the Tax Advance, be promptly paid to the applicable SPV by the applicable Fortress Investor, or (b) be repaid by reducing the amount of current or next succeeding distribution or distributions that would otherwise have been made by such SPV to such Fortress Investor, or if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Fortress Investor, in each case together with interest thereon at the greater of (i) the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time) plus five percent (5%) or (ii) twelve percent (12%) per annum. Such interest shall accrue from the date that is ten (10) days from the date the applicable SPV demands repayment of such Tax Advance until such amount is paid in full. Whenever Medley selects option (b) for repayment of a Tax Advance by any of the Fortress Investors, for all other purposes of this Agreement, such Fortress Investor shall be treated as having received all applicable distributions with respect to such SPV unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance. The payment of any Tax Advance by or on behalf of any of the Fortress Investors shall not be deemed a Capital Contribution by such Fortress Investor or reduce such Fortress Investor’s obligation to make Capital Contributions hereunder, in each case with respect to any of the SPVs. The obligation of each of the Fortress Investors to reimburse the applicable SPV for Tax Advances shall continue after (i) such Fortress Investor Transfers its interest in the applicable SPV, (ii) such Fortress Investor withdraws from the applicable SPV, (iii) liquidation of the applicable SPV or (iv) such Fortress Investor otherwise ceases to be a member of the applicable SPV. Each of the Fortress Investors agrees to furnish each SPV with any forms as shall reasonably be requested by Medley to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have. Any tax, penalty, addition to tax or additional amount attributable thereto which is assessed or collected from any of the SPVS or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant to Sections 6221-6235 of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Act of 2015 (together with any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated by an applicable governmental authority at any time thereunder) shall be treated as a Tax Advance subject to this Section 3.6.

3.7 Tax Information Rights.

Within forty-five (45) days of each distribution made by the Company to its Members, the Managing Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to provide to such Members a reasonable estimate of the extent to which such distribution would constitute a dividend, within the meaning of Section 316 of the Code, and an estimate as to the extent any such dividends are “interest related” or “short term capital gain” dividends for purposes of Section 871(k) of the Code.

(b) Medley shall cause the Fund Share SPVs to distribute to DMI I an aggregate amount equal to a rate of 8% per annum of the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount (the “8% Preferred Distribution”), calculated on the basis of a 365-day year, which 8% Preferred Distribution shall begin accruing on the date on which the Initial Fortress Investment Amount is contributed to MSF I. For the avoidance of doubt, such payment may be paid, at Medley’s discretion, from cash available at either Fund Share SPV and need not be allocated between the two Fund Share SPVs on a pro rata basis.

(c) For so long as the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount shall be greater than zero, Medley shall cause any Net Fund Share Dividends received by the Fund Share SPVs during a calendar quarter to be distributed to DMI I and Medley in the following order of priority:

(i) first to DMI I in an aggregate amount equal to 15% of such Net Fund Share Dividends;

(ii) second, to cover any reasonable and documented Company Expenses (excluding, for the purpose of avoiding double counting, any taxes already applied to reduce Net Fund Share Dividends) payable by any of the SPVs during such calendar quarter; provided that, if the amount of such remaining Net Fund Share Dividends is not sufficient to cover such Company Expenses, Medley may opt to defer the cash distribution payable to DMI I under Section 4.1(c)(i) above to the extent necessary to cover such Company Expenses, and provided further that if Medley opts to defer such distributions, Medley shall not cause any of the Fund Share SPVs to make any distributions to Medley pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) until such time as DMI I has received payment in full of such deferred distributions;

(iii) third, to Medley in an amount equal to the estimated U.S. federal, state and local income taxes (including, without limitation, the “medicare” tax imposed under Section 1411 of the Code) payable by Medley (or its direct or indirect members) with respect to Medley’s allocable share of the Fund Share SPVs’ net taxable income, as determined under the applicable SPV LLC Agreement (other than in respect of gain on sale of MCC Stock or STRF Stock), which taxes will be determined using the highest effective marginal combined rates as prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in California or New York, New York (taking into account (a) the non-deductibility of expenses subject to the limitation described in Section 67(a) of the Code and (b) the character (e.g., long-term or short-term capital gain or ordinary or exempt income) of the applicable income, but not taking into account the deductibility of state and local income taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes);

(iv) fourth, to DMI I to pay down the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount until such time as the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount has been reduced to zero, and

(v) thereafter to Medley.

(d) Medley shall cause the Fund Share SPVs to distribute the sale proceeds of any dispositions of MCC Stock or STRF Stock by the Fund Share SPVs during a calendar quarter up to an amount equal to 100% of the price paid by the Fund Share SPV’s on any such disposed stock in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to DMI I to pay down the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount until such time as the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount has been reduced to zero; and

(ii) thereafter to Medley.

(i) first, to DMI I in an amount equal to 15% of such Net Fund Share Profits;

(ii) second, to Medley in an amount equal to the estimated U.S. federal, state and local income taxes (including, without limitation, the “medicare” tax imposed under Section 1411 of the Code) payable by Medley (or its direct or indirect members) with respect to Medley’s allocable share of the Fund SPV’s net taxable income, as determined under the applicable SPV LLC Agreement, solely in respect of gain on the sale of MCC Stock or STRF Stock, which taxes will be determined using the highest effective marginal rates as prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in California or New York, New York (taking into account (a) the non-deductibility of expenses subject to the limitation described in Section 67(a) of the Code and (b) the character (e.g., long-term or short-term capital gain or ordinary or exempt income) of the applicable income, but not taking into account the deductibility of state and local income taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

(iii) third, to DMI I to pay down the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount until such time as the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount has been reduced to zero; and

(iv) thereafter to Medley.

(f) All distributions to be made to DMI I and Medley pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be made concurrently to both parties on a quarterly basis no later than 10 Business Days after the end of each applicable calendar quarter, commencing as of the end of the first full calendar quarter following the quarter in which the Closing Date occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, at no time during the term of this Agreement shall either of the Fund Share SPVs make a distribution to Medley or any of its Affiliates that is not in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, any cash amounts distributable to Medley pursuant to Sections 4.1(c), (d) or (e) above may, at Medley’s sole discretion, be retained by the Fund Share SPVs and used for other purposes including, without limitation, financing the redemptions of the Preferred Interests as contemplated in Article V below.

(a) Medley shall cause MSF III to make quarterly distributions to DMI II and to Medley in accordance with the following provisions. The amounts payable to DMI II pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be referred to as the “STRFA Equity Preferred Distribution Amount.”

(b) For so long as the STRFA Equity Interest continues to be held by MSF III, Medley shall cause MSF III to make a quarterly distribution to DMI II in an amount equal to a percentage of the STRFA Distributable Income received by the STRF Advisor during such calendar quarter determined as follows (the “STRFA Sharing Percentage”):

(i) Until such time as the Fortress Investors have received aggregate distributions in respect of their Preferred Interests equal to 2.0x the total amount invested in the Fund Share SPVs by DMI I (the “Investment Realization Trigger”), a percentage of STRFA Distributable Income equal to 8% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount as of the end of such calendar quarter and the denominator of which is $40,000,000; provided that the STRFA Sharing Percentage shall not be less than 6% at any time prior to the date the Investment Realization Trigger has been realized; and

(ii) After the Investment Realization Trigger has been achieved, a percentage of STRFA Distributable Income equal to 6%.

(c) All distributions to be made to DMI II and Medley pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be made concurrently to both parties on a quarterly basis no later than 10 Business Days after the end of each applicable calendar quarter, commencing as of the end of the first full calendar quarter following the quarter in which (i) the Closing Date occurs, or (ii) STRF commences operations, whichever is later. For the avoidance of doubt, at no time during the term of this Agreement shall MSF III make a distribution to Medley or any of its Affiliates that is not in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.2.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, any cash amounts held by MSF III after payment of Fund Share Holdings Preferred Distribution Amount and the STRFA Equity Preferred Distribution Amount shall be available for distribution to Medley, or, at Medley’s discretion, may be retained by MSF III and used for other purposes including, without limitation, financing the redemptions of the Preferred Interests as contemplated in Article V below.

ARTICLE V
REDEMPTION AND OTHER RIGHTS

5.1 Redemption of MSF I and MSF II Preferred Interests at Medley’s Option.

(a) Medley may elect to cause the Fund Share SPVs, jointly and severally, to redeem the MSF I Preferred Interest and/or MSF II Preferred Interest, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty, provided that:

(i) unless the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount has been reduced to zero, the proceeds of any Initial Investment Amounts or Additional Investment Amounts contributed to the Fund Share SPVs by DMI I pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 3.2 above and not invested in MCC Stock or STRF Stock, as the case may be, shall not be used for the purpose of effectuating any such redemption;

(ii) for the avoidance of doubt, Capital Contributions made to the Fund Share SPVs by Medley pursuant to Section 3.4 above may be used for such purpose; and

(iii) If Medley shall elect to redeem less than the entire MSF I Preferred Interest and MSF II Preferred Interest, Medley shall cause the Fund Share SPVs to redeem both the MSF I Preferred Interest and the MSF II Preferred Interest on a pro rata basis based on the relative amounts of capital contributed to MSF I and MSF II by DMI I, respectively, to the extent Medley is able to access liquidity for the STRF Stock held by MSF II, after which any remaining portion of such partial redemption may be from the MSF I Preferred Interest only.

(b) If Medley shall elect to redeem the entire MSF I Preferred Interest and the MSF II Preferred Interest, Medley shall cause the Fund Shares SPVs, jointly and severally, to pay DMI I an aggregate amount equal to the Fund Share Interest Redemption Price. If Medley shall elect to redeem less than all of the MSF I Preferred Interest and MSF II Preferred Interest, Medley shall cause the Fund Share SPVs, jointly and severally, to pay DMI I an amount equal to the Fund Share Interest Redemption Price multiplied by a fraction (expressed as a percentage) (i) numerator of which shall be the amount of capital invested in each applicable Fund Share SPV by DMI I represented by the Preferred Interests to be redeemed, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be total amount of Capital Contributions invested in the Fund Share SPVs by DMI I as of the date of redemption.

(i) The Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount will be reduced by an amount equal to that portion of the proceeds received by DMI I pursuant to this Section 5.1 representing Repaid Capital Amounts; and

(ii) Any amounts of the MSF I and/or MSF II Preferred Interests in the Fund Share SPVs that are redeemed pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be immediately retired.

5.2 Optional Redemption of STRFA Equity Preferred Interest at Medley’s Option; Dissolution of MSF III.

(a) At any time during the 90-day period commencing on the date on which the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount has been reduced to zero, Medley shall have the right (the “STRFA Buyback Right”) to cause MSF III to sell the STRFA Equity Interest to Medley or any of its Affiliates at a price equal to the fair market value of an interest in STRFA entitling the holder to receive distributions of the STRFA Distributable Income at the applicable STRFA Sharing Percentage determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2(b), as determined by an independent valuation firm mutually agreeable to Medley and DMI II (the “STRFA Equity Interest FMV”). In such event, MSF III shall distribute to DMI II an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale. Upon completion of such sale, DMI II’s right to receive the STRFA Equity Preferred Distribution Amounts shall terminate, and the STRFA Preferred Interest in MSF III shall be immediately retired.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, if Medley does not exercise the STRFA Buyback Right prior to the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, then Medley shall cause MSF III to be dissolved and an interest in STRFA shall be distributed in kind to DMI II entitling DMI II to receive distributions of the STRFA Distributable Income at the applicable STRFA Sharing Percentage determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2(b), provided that if such interest in STRFA has been distributed in-kind to DMI II pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) and DMI II or any Affiliated successor-in-interest to such interest in STRFA (a “Fortress Seller”) subsequently elects to sell such interest in STRFA, in whole or in part, to a third party (a “Subject Sale”), Medley (or at Medley’s option, an Affiliate) shall have a right of first refusal, for a period of 30 days following written notice by such Fortress Seller(s) to Medley of such Subject Sale, to buy back the STRFA Equity Interest at a price equal to the price negotiated at arms’ length by such Fortress Seller(s) in respect of such Subject Sale.

5.3 Redemption of MSF I and MSF II Preferred Interests at DMI I’s Option.

(a) At the option of DMI I, exercisable at any time after the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Closing Date (to the extent so exercised, a “Redemption Election”), Medley shall cause the Fund Share SPVs, jointly and severally, to redeem the MSF I and MSF II Preferred Interests in whole, but not in part, for an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) any accrued and unpaid Fund Share Holdings Preferred Distribution Amounts, if any, as of the date the redemption is completed (the “Accrued and Unpaid Amounts”); plus

(ii) the Outstanding Fortress Investment Amount, if any, as of such date (the “Repaid Capital Amount”), plus

(iii) in the event the Fund Share SPVs own any MCC Stock and/or STRF Stock as of the date of redemption, the amount of any additional Net Fund Share Profits that would have been distributed to DMI I pursuant to Section 4.1(e)(i) had such MCC Stock and/or STRF Stock been sold on the redemption date for their respective fair market values (together with any Accrued and Unpaid Amounts and Repaid Capital Amounts, the “Fund Share Interest Redemption Price”).

(b) Medley will pay the Fund Share Interest Redemption Price to DMI I not more than ninety (90) calendar days after the date on which written notice of a Redemption Election is delivered to Medley by DMI I.
