16.2.2 The Shareholders acknowledge that whilst it will not preclude any asset from being a Qualifying Asset it will be preferable for a Qualifying Asset to be subject to leases or agreements for lease where the rental income is subject to regular increases.

 

16.3 First Notice of Qualifying Asset

 

16.3.1 Where a Qualifying Asset is subject to the Right of Offer, Goodman shall procure that the Investment Adviser provides written notice (the “First Notice”) to the Company of any potential Qualifying Asset together with such information as the Investment Adviser considers is reasonably necessary for the Company to make an evaluation of the Qualifying Asset which may include:

 

  (a) an estimate of the Market Value of the Qualifying Asset prepared by the Investment Adviser (including upon completion of any development where the asset is a development asset);

  (b) an estimate of the net operating income for the applicable Qualifying Asset for the first full year of the term of a lease to a tenant of the Qualifying Asset in which the tenant is required to pay full rent;

 

  (c) a capitalisation rate for such Qualifying Asset based on the estimated Market Value and the net operating income;

 

  (d) an investment proposal or development proposal (as appropriate);

 

  (e) in the case of a development logistics asset a site plan of the proposed improvements of the Qualifying Asset and a copy of the agreed heads of terms for a lease or agreement for lease; and

 

  (f) such of the due diligence materials listed in Schedule 6 as the Investment Adviser determines are relevant and to the extent that such materials are in the Investment Adviser’s possession or control,

(the “Due Diligence Materials”).

 

16.3.2 The Company shall have until the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of all necessary Due Diligence Materials as reasonably determined by the Investment Adviser, to either accept or reject the Qualifying Asset subject to the First Notice by serving written notice on the Investment Adviser. If the Company rejects a Qualifying Asset or if the Company fails to serve on the Investment Adviser notice of acceptance within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Company shall have waived its right to acquire that Qualifying Asset and the Investment Adviser or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire or sell the Qualifying Asset.

 

16.4 Completion of acquisition of Qualifying Asset

 

16.4.1 If the Company accepts a Qualifying Asset pursuant to clause 16.3.2, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the seller of the asset to either:

 

  (a) where the Qualifying Asset is an investment asset, complete the acquisition of the Qualifying Asset or any Indirect Investment Vehicle that owns the Qualifying Asset as soon as reasonably practicable; or

 

  (b) where the Qualifying Asset is a development asset, enter into an agreement with the seller for the acquisition of the asset upon practical completion of the asset subject to, amongst others, acceptance of the premises by the tenant and commencement of the lease term,

provided that if a Qualifying Asset is to be acquired from Goodman or any of its Associates by way of an Indirect Investment Vehicle then the terms of any such acquisition shall be mutatis mutandis on substantially similar terms as the contract for the acquisition of the shares in the Schönberg SPV (for an investment asset) or the Langenbach SPV (for a development asset) by the Company with such amendments as may be necessary to address requirements in the local jurisdiction where the Indirect Investment Vehicle is domiciled or otherwise as the Shareholders shall agree provided further that if the Company has not completed the acquisition or entered into an agreement with the relevant seller within one (1) month of the date of service of the notice of acceptance of the Qualifying Asset due to the fault or delay of RTPCE, then the Company shall be deemed to have rejected and waived its right to acquire the Qualifying Asset and the Investment Adviser or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire the Qualifying Asset.

16.4.2 Where the Company has entered into an agreement pursuant to clause 16.4.1(b), then Goodman shall procure that the Investment Adviser provides periodic updates, no less frequently than quarterly, relating to the construction, development and leasing aspects (as appropriate) of the Qualifying Asset, including any update to the Due Diligence Materials.

 

16.4.3 There shall be no requirement to complete the acquisition of any Qualifying Asset if the execution ready final lease or agreement for lease is materially different from the agreed heads of terms (as provided for in clause 16.3.1(e)), unless RTPCE and Goodman agree otherwise. Where any execution ready final lease or agreement for lease is materially different from the agreed heads of terms then upon presenting the Qualifying Asset to the Company it shall be deemed to be a new Qualifying Asset and the provisions of this clause 16 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

 

16.5 RTPCE Right of Offer

During the Offer Period, RTPCE (in each case, in so far as it is able) shall (and shall procure that any of its Associates shall) procure that any Qualifying Asset that is owned by a third party and is being pursued by RTPCE (or its Associates) is offered to the Company in priority to any other person where the Company is not precluded by the vendor of the Qualifying Asset (not being RTPCE or its Associates) from being offered to or acquired by the Company (or any Indirect Investment Vehicle) (the “RTPCE Offer”).

 

16.5.1 If a Qualifying Asset is subject to a RTPCE Offer, RTPCE shall provide written notice (the “RTPCE Notice”) to the Company of any potential Qualifying Asset together with such information as RTPCE considers is reasonably necessary for the Company to make an evaluation of the Qualifying Asset which may include the Due Diligence Materials to the extent that such materials are in RTPCE’s or its Associates’ possession or control.

 

16.5.2 The Company shall either accept or reject the Qualifying Asset the subject of the RTPCE Notice by indicating its acceptance or rejection on such notice and returning it to RTPCE within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of all necessary Due Diligence Materials as determined by the Investment Adviser. If the Company rejects such Qualifying Asset or if the Company fails to deliver notice of acceptance to RTPCE within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Company shall have waived its right to acquire that Qualifying Asset and RTPCE or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire the Qualifying Asset.

 

16.5.3 If the Company accepts a Qualifying Asset pursuant to clause 16.5.3, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the seller of the asset to either:

 

  (a) where the Qualifying Asset is an investment asset, complete the acquisition of the Qualifying Asset or any Indirect Investment Vehicle that owns the Qualifying Asset as soon as reasonably practicable; or

 

  (b) where the Qualifying Asset is a development asset, enter into an agreement with the seller for the acquisition of the asset upon practical completion of the asset subject to, amongst others, acceptance of the premises by the tenant and commencement of the lease term,

provided that if the Company has not completed the acquisition or entered into an agreement with the relevant seller within one (1) month of the date of service of the notice of acceptance of the Qualifying Asset due to the fault or delay of Goodman or the

Investment Adviser, then the Company shall be deemed to have rejected and waived its right to acquire the Qualifying Asset and RTPCE or any of its Associates or any third party may acquire the Qualifying Asset.

 

16.6 Waiver of Right of Offer or RTPCE Offer

The Company may waive the Right of Offer or the RTPCE Offer in relation to any Qualifying Asset at any time by written notice to the Shareholders and the Investment Adviser in which case the Qualifying Asset may be acquired by any other person.

 

16.7 The Shareholders agree and acknowledge that, save for the Right of Offer obligations contained in this clause 16, either of the Shareholders and any of the respective Associates may acquire, own, develop or otherwise exploit any interest in real estate, either directly or indirectly, and whether alone or for or with other persons and nothing in this agreement shall prevent them from doing so.

 

16.8 If either of the Shareholders or any Directors appointed by such Shareholder shall have voted against the acquisition by the Group of a Qualifying Asset from a third party, such Shareholder or its Associates shall not pursue the acquisition of such Qualifying Asset for its own benefit or the benefit of its Associates. For the avoidance of doubt, if the other Shareholder voted in favour of the acquisition of such Qualifying Asset by the Group, it may pursue the acquisition of such Qualifying Asset for its own benefit or the benefit of its Associates.

 

17. GOOD FAITH

 

17.1 All transactions entered into between a Shareholder (or any Associate of it) and the Group shall be conducted in good faith and on the basis set out or referred to in this agreement or, if not provided for in this agreement, as may be agreed by the Shareholders.

Certain US Federal Income Tax Provisions

1. Certain Definitions. Any capitalised terms used in this Schedule and not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Articles. The following terms have the definitions hereinafter indicated whenever used in this Schedule with initial capital letters:

1.1 Adjusted Capital Account Deficit: With respect to any Shareholder, the deficit balance, if any, in such Shareholder’s Capital Account (as defined below) as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year or other period, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(i) Credit to such Capital Account any amounts which such Shareholder is obligated to restore to the Company pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-2(g)(1) or Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(ii) Debit to such Capital Account the items described in Regulations §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (d)(5), and (d)(6).

The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

1.2 Intentionally Deleted.

1.3 Partnership Minimum Gain: The aggregate gain, if any, that would be realised by the Company for purposes of computing Profits and Losses with respect to each Company asset if each Company asset subject to a Nonrecourse Liability were disposed of for the amount outstanding on the Nonrecourse Liability by the Company in a taxable transaction. Partnership Minimum Gain with respect to each Company asset shall be further determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(d) and any subsequent rule or regulation governing the determination of minimum gain. A Shareholder’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain at the end of any Fiscal Year shall equal the aggregate Nonrecourse Deductions allocated to such Shareholder (or its predecessors in interest) up to that time, less such Shareholder’s (and predecessors’) aggregate share of decreases in Partnership Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(g).

1.4 Depreciation: For each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to the US federal income tax depreciation, amortisation or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such year, except that if the Gross Asset Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for US federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other period, Depreciation shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the US federal income tax depreciation, amortisation or other cost recovery deduction for such year bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the US federal income tax depreciation, amortisation or other cost recovery deductions for such year is zero, Depreciation shall be determined with reference to such beginning Gross Asset Value using any reasonable method selected by the Board.

1.5 Fiscal Year: The taxable year of the Company which, except in the case of a short taxable year, shall be the calendar year.

1.6 Gross Asset Value: With respect to any asset of the Company, such asset’s adjusted basis for US federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

 

  (A) the initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Shareholder to the Company shall be the gross fair market value of such asset at the time of contribution determined by the Board using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt;

 

  (B) in the discretion of the Board, the Gross Asset Values of all Company assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as reasonably determined by the Board, immediately prior to the following events:

 

  (i) a Capital Contribution (other than a de minimis Capital Contribution) to the Company by a new or existing Shareholder as consideration for Shares;

  (ii) the distribution by the Company to a Shareholder of more than a de minimis amount of Company property as consideration for the redemption of Shares; and

 

  (iii) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); and

 

  (C) the Gross Asset Values of Company assets distributed to any Shareholder shall be the gross fair market values of such assets as reasonably determined by the General Partner as of the date of distribution.

At all times, Gross Asset Values shall be adjusted by any Depreciation taken into account with respect to the Company’s assets for purposes of computing Profits and Losses. Gross Asset Values shall be further adjusted to reflect adjustments to Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) to the extent not otherwise reflected in adjustments to Gross Asset Values. Any adjustment to the Gross Asset Values of Company property shall require an adjustment to the Shareholders’ Capital Accounts as provided in Section 2 of this Schedule.

1.7 Nonrecourse Deductions: Nonrecourse Deductions are as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(1). The amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a Fiscal Year equals the net increase, if any, in the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain during such Fiscal Year reduced by any distributions during such Fiscal Year of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that are allocable to an increase in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined according to the provisions of Regulations § 1.704-2(c) and 1.704-2(h).

1.8 Nonrecourse Liability: A liability as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(3).

1.9 Profits and Losses: Respectively, for each Fiscal Year or other period, the Company’s taxable income or loss for such Fiscal Year or other period, determined in accordance with Code § 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code § 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), adjusted as follows:

 

  (1) any income of the Company that is exempt from US federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses shall be added to such taxable income or loss;

 

  (2) in lieu of the depreciation, amortisation and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year or other period;

 

  (3) any items that are specially allocated pursuant to Section 3.2 shall not be taken into account in computing Profits or Losses;

 

  (4) any expenditures of the Company described in Code § 705(a)(2)(B) (or treated as such under Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)) and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses shall be deducted from such US taxable income or loss;

 

  (5) in the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted in accordance with paragraph (B) or (C) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such Company asset for purposes of computing Profits or Losses;

  (6) gain or loss resulting from any disposition of any Company asset with respect to which gain or loss is recognised for US federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding the fact that the adjusted tax basis of such Company asset differs from its Gross Asset Value; and

 

  (7) an allocation of Company Profits or Losses to a Shareholder shall be treated as an allocation to such Shareholder of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss and deduction that has been taken into account in computing such Profits or Losses.

Profits and Losses shall be further determined and adjusted in accordance with the Regulations issued under Section 704 of the Code.

1.10 Regulations: The regulations of the US Treasury Department promulgated under the Code.

1.11 Intentionally Deleted.

1.12 Partner Minimum Gain: An amount, with respect to each Partner Nonrecourse Debt, equal to Partnership Minimum Gain that would result if such Partner Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a Nonrecourse Liability, determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(3).

1.13 Partner Nonrecourse Debt: A liability as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(4).

1.14 Partner Nonrecourse Deductions: The partner nonrecourse deductions as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(2). The amount of Partner Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Shareholder’s Nonrecourse Debt for a Fiscal Year equals the net increase, if any, in the amount of Partner Minimum Gain during such Fiscal Year attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, reduced by any distributions during that Fiscal Year to the Shareholder that bears the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent that such distributions are from the proceeds of such Partner Nonrecourse Debt and are allocable to an increase in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined according to the provisions of Regulations § 1.704-2(h) and 1.704-2(i).

2. Capital Account. The Company shall maintain a book account (a “Capital Account”) in accordance with the following provisions for each Shareholder (and any other person who acquires Shares):

 

  (a) To each Shareholder’s Capital Account there shall be credited the amount of cash contributed by such Shareholder, the initial Gross Asset Value of any other asset contributed by such Shareholder to the capital of the Company (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company assumes or takes subject to), such Shareholder’s distributive share of Profits, the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by the Shareholder or secured by distributed assets that such Shareholder takes subject to and any other items in the nature of income or gain that are allocated to such Shareholder pursuant to this Schedule; and

 

  (b) To each Shareholder’s Capital Account there shall be debited the amount of cash distributed to the Shareholder, the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to such Shareholder pursuant to any provision of the Articles (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Shareholder assumes or takes subject to), such Shareholder’s distributive share of Losses and any other items in the nature of expenses or losses that are allocated to such Shareholder pursuant to this Schedule.

In the event that a Shareholder’s Shares or portion thereof is transferred within the meaning of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent that it relates to the Shares or portion thereof so transferred.

In the event that the Gross Asset Values of Company assets are adjusted, as contemplated in paragraph (B) or (C) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value”, the Capital Accounts of the Shareholders shall be adjusted to reflect the aggregate net adjustments as if the Company sold the relevant assets for their fair market values and recognised gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of such aggregate net adjustment.

The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of the Articles relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations § 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. No Shareholder shall be obligated to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account and no Shareholder shall have any entitlement to receive any distribution or other payment from the Company in respect of any positive balance in its Capital Account.

3. Allocations.

3.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses. All items of income, gain, loss and deduction for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Shareholders in such a manner that the Capital Accounts of the Shareholders immediately after making such allocations bear, as nearly as possible the same proportions to one another as would the amounts of the distributions that would be made to the Shareholders pursuant to the organisational documents of the Company were the Company to be dissolved, its affairs wound up and the Company Assets sold for an amount equal to their aggregate book values at the end of that Fiscal Year, provided that, for the purpose of making allocations pursuant to this Schedule, any amount which is or would be required to be contributed to the Company on its dissolution shall be deemed to have been so contributed.

3.2 Mandatory Allocations.

 

  (A) No Excess Deficit. To the extent that any Shareholder has or would have, as a result of an allocation of Loss (or item thereof), an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, such amount of Loss (or item thereof) shall be allocated to the other Shareholders in accordance with Section 3.1, but in a manner which will not produce an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to such Shareholders.

 

  (B) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations § 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) and (5), each Shareholder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Shareholder’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations § 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Shareholder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in such section of the Regulations in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(f). This Section 3.2(B) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Regulations § 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

  (C)

Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule 1 except Section 3.2(B), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4), each Shareholder who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of

 

Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Shareholder’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Shareholder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 3.2(C) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

  (D) Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule, except Sections 3.2(B) and 3.2(C), in the event any Shareholder receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), that cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Shareholder, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Shareholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Shareholder as quickly as possible.

 

  (E) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Shareholders in proportion to their respective shares of Profits and Losses.

 

  (F) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Shareholder who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(1).

 

  (G) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code § 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Shareholders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations.

Each Shareholder hereby agrees to provide the Company with all information necessary to give effect to an election made under Code § 754 if the Board determines to make such an election; provided, however, that the cost associated with such an election shall be borne by the Company as a whole. With respect to such election:

 

  (i) Any change in the amount of the depreciation deducted by the Company and any change in the gain or loss of the Company, for US federal income tax purposes, resulting from an adjustment pursuant to Code § 743(b) shall be allocated entirely to the transferee of the Shares or portion thereof so transferred. Neither the capital contribution obligations of, nor the Shares of, nor the amount of any cash distributions to, the Shareholders shall be affected as a result of such election, and except as provided in Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the making of such election shall have no effect except for US federal and (if applicable) state and local income tax purpose,

  (ii) Solely for US federal and, if applicable, state and local income tax purposes and not for the purpose of maintaining the Shareholders’ Capital Accounts (except as provided in Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)), the Company shall keep a written record for those assets, the bases of which are adjusted as a result of such election, and the amount at which such assets are carried on such record shall be debited (in the case of an increase in basis) or credited (in the case of a decrease in basis) by the amount of such basis adjustment. Any change in the amount of the depreciation deducted by the Company and any change in the gain or loss of the Company, for US federal and (if applicable) state and local income tax purposes, attributable to the basis adjustment made as a result of such election shall be debited or credited, as the case may be, on such record.

 

  (H) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 3.2(A), (B), (C) and (D) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations § 1.704-1(b). The Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account for the purpose of equitably adjusting subsequent allocations of Profits and Losses, and items of income, gain, loss, and deduction among the Shareholders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items to each Shareholder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Shareholder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

 

  (I) Nonrecourse Debt Distribution. To the extent permitted by Regulations § 1.704-2(h)(3) and 1.704-2(i)(6), the Board shall endeavor to treat distributions as having been made from the proceeds of Nonrecourse Liabilities or Partner Nonrecourse Debt only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase a deficit balance in any Shareholder’s Capital Account that exceeds the amount such Shareholder is otherwise obligated to restore (within the meaning of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(ii)(c)) as of the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the distribution occurs.

3.3 Allocations for Tax Purposes.

 

  (A) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3, for US federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Shareholders in the same manner as its correlative item of Profits or Losses is allocated pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2.

 

  (B) In accordance with Code § 704(b) and 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for US federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Shareholders so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for US federal income tax purposes and the initial Gross Asset Value of such property. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company property is adjusted as described in the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for US federal income tax purposes and the Gross Asset Value of such asset in the manner prescribed under Code § 704(b) and 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall employ any reasonable method selected by the Board.

3.4 Allocations to Transferred Shares. Profits and Losses allocable to Shares assigned or reissued during a Fiscal Year shall be allocated to each person who was the holder of such Shares during such Fiscal Year, in proportion to the number of days that each such holder was recognised as the owner of such shares during such Fiscal Year or by an interim closing of the books or in any other proportion permitted by the Code and selected by the Board in accordance with the Articles, without regard to the results of Company operations or the date, amount or recipient of any distributions which may have been made with respect to such Shares.

3.5 US Tax Treatment; Subsidiaries. Following the Company’s treatment as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes, the Company shall take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to be treated at all times as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Board shall elect to treat all subsidiaries or other investments of the Company as partnerships or disregarded entities for US federal income tax purposes, as applicable unless otherwise directed by a Shareholder that is directly or indirectly owned by CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust. Each Shareholder hereby consent to the filing of any tax elections or other consents or statements necessary or appropriate to treat the Company and any subsidiary or investment of the Company as a partnership or disregarded entity (as the case may be) for US federal income tax purposes.

3.6 Tax Matters Partner. The Board shall designate RT Princeton CE Holdings, LLC as the “tax matters partner” (in this Section called the “TMP”) as defined in Code § 6231(a)(7) of the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, the TMP shall be authorised to extend the statute of limitations, file a request for administrative adjustment, file suit concerning any tax refund or deficiency relating to any Company administrative adjustment or enter into any settlement agreement relating to any Company item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for any Fiscal Year of the Company, in each case, with respect to US federal, state and local tax matters. The TMP shall indemnify and reimburse the Company for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Shareholders or in connection with any audit of the Company’s income tax returns, or in respect of any other obligation on the Company to prepare, maintain or file any accounts, records, returns, elections or other such documents required for US federal, state or local tax purposes.

3.7 Each Indirect Investment Vehicle or other entity in which the Company directly or indirectly owns an interest and that is treated as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes shall comply with each provision of this Schedule 9. For the purpose of any such entity’s compliance with this Schedule 9, any reference to the “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such entity, any reference to a “Shareholder” shall be deemed to refer to the partners of such entity for US federal income tax purpose, and each other term in this Schedule 9 shall be understood to be defined such that the provisions of this Schedule 9 shall apply to such entity in a manner analogous to the application of such provisions to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first sentence of section 3.6 shall not apply to any entity in which RT Princeton CE Holdings, LLC is not a partner for US federal income tax purposes, and the Board shall designate as TMP of each such entity a person that is a partner of such entity for US federal income tax purposes and that is either (i) the Company or (ii) an entity in which the Company holds a direct or indirect equity interest. Any person who is designated a TMP pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall delegate its duties as TMP to RT Princeton Holdings, LLC, and/or follow all instructions of RT Princeton Holdings, LLC with respect to such duties, to the extent consistent with applicable law.
