Any distributions from our company will be made to the limited partners and to the BBU General Partner on a pro rata basis. The BBU General Partner’s pro rata share, which is less than 0.01%. Each limited partner will receive a pro rata share of the distributions made to all limited partners in accordance with the proportion of all outstanding units held by that limited partner.

Allocations of Income and Losses

Limited partners share in our net profits and net losses, generally in accordance with their respective percentage interest in our company.

Net income and net losses for U.

Each item of income, gain, loss and deduction so allocated to a partner of our company, generally will have the same source and character as though such partner had realized the item directly.

To such end, any person who was a partner at any time during such fiscal year but who has transferred all of their units before the last day of that fiscal year may be deemed to be a partner on the last day of such fiscal year for the purposes of subsection 96(1) of the Tax Act.
