Distributions. Subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, the requirements of Section 852(a) of Subchapter M of the Code, the terms of any Financings or other obligations or Preferred Units and any other applicable legal requirements, the Company intends to (i) authorize and declare distributions from time to time, if the Board finds such distributions to be in the best interest of the Company and its Members, which distributions may be funded from any sources of funds available to the Company, and (ii) distribute such portion of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain for each taxable year following its election to be regulated as a business development company as is necessary to qualify for treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, for any such taxable year, in each case, which distributions may be in cash, in-kind, or a combination of cash and in-kind. Any distributions in-kind will be distributed among the Members in the same proportion and priority as cash distributions would be distributed among the Members and will be valued in accordance with the Company’s valuation policies.
