6.6.1 Unexpected Allocations and Distributions. No allocation may bemade to a Partner to the extent such allocation causes or increases a deficit balance in such Partner’s Capital Account in excess of any amount that such Partner is obligated to restore (taking into account Regulations Sections1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d), 1.704-2(g)(1)(ii) and 1.704-2(i)(5)), as of the end of the taxable year to which such allocation relates. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that a Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment,allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which results in such Partner having a negative Capital Account balance (as determined above), then such Partner shall be allocated items of income andgain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, such negative balance in such Partner’s Capital Account as quickly as possible. Any special allocation made under this Section 6.6.1 shall be takeninto account for purposes of determining subsequent allocations of Profits and Losses so that the total allocations will, to the extent possible, equal the allocations which would have been made if this Section had not previously applied.

 

6.6.2 Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding anyother provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Partnership minimum gain (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2)), items of income and gain shall be allocated to all Partners in accordance 

 

Page 27 

with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), and such allocations are intended to comply with the minimum gain chargebackrequirements of Regulations Section 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

 

6.6.3 Section 704(c) Allocation. Solely for U.S. federal, state, and local income tax purposes and not for book or Capital Account purposes, depreciation, amortization, gain, or loss with respect to propertythat is properly reflected on the Partnership’s books at a value that differs from its adjusted basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in accordance with the principles and requirements of Code Section 704(c) and theRegulations promulgated thereunder, and in accordance with the requirements of the relevant provisions of the Regulations issued under Code Section 704(b). For Capital Account purposes, depreciation, amortization, gain, or loss with respect toproperty that is properly reflected on the Partnership’s books at a value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be determined in accordance with the rules of Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(g). 

 

6.7 Reserved. 

 

6.8 Allocation Rule. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement,each item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (including depreciation) earned, realized or available by or to the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to the total amount of Partnership Profits or Lossesallocated to each Partner. 

 

6.9 Intent of Allocations.The parties intend that the foregoing tax allocation provisions of this Article VI shall produce final Capital Account balances of the Partners that will permit liquidating distributions that are made in accordance with final Capital Accountbalances under Section 13.2.1(d) hereof to be made (after unpaid loans and interest thereon, include those owed to Partners have been paid) in a manner identical to the order of priorities set forth in Section 6.1. To the extent that the taxallocation provisions of this Article VI would fail to produce such final Capital Account balances, (a) such provisions shall be amended if and to the extent necessary to produce such result and (b) Taxable Income and Taxable Loss of the Partnershipfor prior open years (or items of gross income and deduction of the Partnership for such years) shall be reallocated among the Partners to the extent it is not possible to achieve such result with allocations of items of income (including grossincome) and deduction for the current year and future years. This Section 6.9 shall control notwithstanding any reallocation or adjustment of Taxable Income, Taxable Loss, or items thereof by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxingauthority. 

 

6.10 Partnership Withholding. 

 

6.10.1 If any provision of the Code or the Regulationsrequires the Partnership to withhold any amount with respect to a Partner’s distributive share of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit, the Partnership shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6.10.4, withhold the requiredamount and pay the same over to the taxing authorities as required by the Code and the Regulations. The amount withheld will be deducted from the amount that would otherwise be distributed to that Partner but will be treated as though it had beendistributed to the Partner with respect to which the Partnership is required to withhold. If at any time the amount required to be withheld by the Partnership exceeds the amount of money 

 

Page 28 

that would otherwise be distributed to the Partner with respect to which the withholding requirement applies, then thatPartner shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership equal to the excess of the amount required to be withheld over the amount, if any, of money that would otherwise be distributed to that Partner and which is available to be applied againstthe withholding requirement. 

 

6.10.2 To the extent a Partnerclaims entitlement to a reduced withholding rate, an exemption from withholding, or any other benefit under a tax treaty to which the United States is a party, such Partner shall provide to the Tax Matters Partner annually, or more frequently uponthe request of the Tax Matters Partner, a written representation and warranty of the Partner that it is entitled to such treaty benefit and specifying the basis for such claim of entitlement. 

 

6.10.3 Each Partner agrees to cooperate fully with all efforts of thePartnership to comply with its tax withholding and information reporting obligations and agrees to provide the Partnership with such information as the Tax Matters Partner may reasonably request from time to time in connection with such obligations.

 

6.10.4 If the Tax Matters Partner or the Partnership concludesthat the Code or the Regulations requires the Partnership to so withhold pursuant to Section 6.10.1, the General Partner shall notify the affected Partner as soon as possible after such determination in order to afford the affected Partner time toeither contest the matter with the relevant taxing authorities or propose modifications to this Agreement to minimize or eliminate any withholding requirement. In proposing any modifications pursuant to this Section 6.10.4, the affected Partnershall use reasonable efforts to select alternatives which minimize any likely material adverse effect on the amount or timing of Capital Contributions, distributions of Available Cash, allocations of Profits and Losses, management, consent or otherrights of the Partners and any material adverse tax effect on the Partners or any Affiliate of the Partners. 

 

6.11 Partnership Asset Distributions. Distributions of Partnership assets other than cash (including stock in a REIT Owner) shall be treated asdistributions of cash equal to the fair market value of the distributed assets for all purposes under this Agreement and shall be made in accordance with the distribution provisions of Section 6.1.

The appraisers shall not have the power to add to or subtract from or otherwise change the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and their determinationshall be consistent and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The appraisers shall give prompt notice of their decision to each party. 

 

20.5.5 Appraisal Considerations. In determining the FMV Price of a Defaulting Partner’s Interest, the appraisers may, to the extent theappraisers deem it appropriate, consider the cash price which a sophisticated purchaser would pay on the effective date of the appraisal for all of the tangible assets of the Partnership and the REIT Owners in excess of the financing thenencumbering the Partnership’s and REIT Owners’ assets and other indebtedness of the Partnership and REIT Owners, which valuation would be made on the assumption that such assets are subject to this Agreement and to any other agreement thenin effect. The appraisal will consider, among other things, the fiscal year cash flow projection of the Partnership and REIT Owners. A sophisticated purchaser shall be one who would take into account the nature, extent, maturity date and other termsof the liabilities of the Partnership and REIT Owners, whether fixed or contingent, including the favorable or unfavorable nature of the financing then encumbering the Partnership’s and REIT Owners’ assets, and the prospects whether theincome from the Partnership’s and REIT Owners’ assets would be sufficient to satisfy such liabilities when due, excluding any liability under any financing already taken into account. The appraisal shall not include the value, if any, ofany intangible assets of the Partnership and REIT Owners, such as goodwill. The fair market value of any Interest shall be determined taking into account any liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances to which purchaser will take theInterest subject.
