(a) Cash Distributions . From time to time (but at least once each calendar quarter) the Members will determine in their reasonable judgment to what extent (if any) the Company’s cash on hand exceeds its current and anticipated needs, including, without limitation, for operating expenses, debt service, and a reasonable contingency reserve.

5.3 Distributions in Kind .
