1. Amendments to Definitions. Article II of the Operating Agreement is hereby amended to amend and restate the following definitions to read in their entirety as follows:

Sale Event” means, with respect to any Subsidiary, the sale of a material amount, as determined by the Allocation Member and consented to by a majority of the Board of Directors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of the capital stock or assets of such Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of such Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company distributes its equity ownership in a Subsidiary to the Company’s Shareholders in a spin-off or similar transaction, such distribution shall constitute a Sale Event.

 

Total Profit Allocation” shall be equal to, with respect to any Profit Distribution Subsidiary as of any Calculation Date, the sum of (i) the Contribution-Based Profits of such Profit Distribution Subsidiary for the Measurement Period with respect to such Profit Distribution Subsidiary as of such Calculation Date, plus (ii) if the Trigger Event underlying the calculation of Total Profit Allocation as of such Calculation Date is a Sale Event, the Company’s Cumulative Gains and Losses as of such Calculation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if Contribution-Based Profits is a negative number, it shall be disregarded in calculating Total Profit Allocation.
