If I’m a managing member in a partnership/LLC, what are my rights regarding a buyout?

The shares are split 90% for my partner 10% for me. We have profited every year but one. I have paid taxes on my K-1 profit sharing but the profits were never distributed. He wants to buy me out. Does he owe me my share of the profit sharing, plus 10% of the total valuation of the company?
