Accounting and Reports to the Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others The Administrator shall deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, or as may be requested by such Certificateholder, such information, reports or statements as may be necessary to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. Consistent with the Trust’s characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a disregarded entity so long as the Depositor or any other Person is the sole Certificateholder, no U.S. federal income tax return shall be filed on behalf of the Trust unless either (i) the Owner Trustee shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel that, based on a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof, or as a result of a transfer permitted by Section 3.04, the Code requires such a filing or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that the Trust is required to file such a return. In the event that there shall be two or more beneficial owners of the Trust, the Administrator shall inform the Indenture Trustee in writing of such event, (x) the Administrator shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared U.S. federal and, if applicable, state or local partnership tax returns, with all such necessary information provided to it, required to be filed by the Trust and shall remit such returns to the Depositor (or if the Depositor no longer owns any Trust Certificates, the Certificateholder designated for such purpose by the Depositor to the Owner Trustee in writing (provided that if no such designation is made, such returns shall be remitted to the Certificateholder that holds the Trust Certificate representing the “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as such term is defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules))) at least (5) days before such returns are due to be filed, and (y) capital accounts shall be maintained by the Administrator for each Certificateholder in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code reflecting each such Certificateholder’s share of the income, gains, deductions, and losses of the Trust and/or guaranteed payments made by the Trust and contributions to, and distributions from, the Trust. The Administrator shall prepare any such return with all elections the Administrator deems appropriate, except that no election shall be made to treat the Trust as an association taxable as a corporation. The Depositor (or such designee Certificateholder, as applicable) shall promptly sign such returns and deliver such returns after signature to the Administrator and such returns shall be filed by the Administrator with the appropriate tax authorities. In the event that a “partnership representative” within the meaning of the “Partnership Tax Audit Rules” (Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code, together with any guidance issued thereunder or successor provisions and any similar provision of state or local tax laws) is required to be appointed with respect to the Trust, the Depositor or its designee is hereby designated as partnership representative or, if the Depositor is not a Certificateholder, the Certificateholder selected by a majority of the Certificateholders (by Percentage Interest) shall be designated as partnership representative; provided that if no such selection is made, the Certificateholder that holds the Certificate representing the “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as such term is defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules) shall be designated as the partnership representative. The partnership representative shall have the power to appoint the “designated individual” as set forth under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, and the designated individual shall have the same responsibilities and powers as the partnership representative, as set forth below; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that the partnership representative shall not appoint the Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity) or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliated individuals. If the Trust is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the partnership representative shall represent the Trust in connection with all examinations of the Trust’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting judicial and administrative proceedings. The Trust will make the election described in Section 6226 of the Code. If the Trust is obligated to pay any amount to a governmental agency or body or to any other Person (or otherwise makes a payment) because of a Certificateholder’s status or otherwise specifically attributable to a Certificateholder (including any taxes arising under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules), then such Certificateholder shall, at the Trust’s sole election, either (i) pay the entire amount (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payment) the Trust is obligated to pay because of such Certificateholder’s status or attributable to such Certificateholder to the Trust at least five days prior to the due date for such payment by the Trust, or (ii) promptly reimburse the Trust in full for the entire amount any and all such amounts paid by or on behalf of the Trust (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payment).
