Related to ALLOCATION OF TAXES; SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS

• Allocation of Taxes For purposes of determining the amount of Taxes that relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods for purposes of any obligation to indemnify for Taxes under Section 4.2(b) the parties agree to use the following conventions: (1) Taxes in the form of interest, penalties, additions to tax or other additional amounts that are actually incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on or after the Closing Date but that relate to Taxes that accrued on or before the Closing Date shall be treated as occurring prior to the Closing Date; (2) Except for Taxes for which the Operating Partnership is responsible hereunder and for real estate taxes (apportioned pursuant to Section 1.5), for all Taxes that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that is attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be allocated between the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the period beginning after the Closing Date using the following conventions: (i) in the case of such Taxes resulting from, or imposed on, net or gross income, Taxes resulting from, or imposed on, any sale, receipt, use, transfer or assignments of property or other asset, or Taxes resulting from, or imposed on, any payment or accrual of any amounts (including, without limitation, dividends, interest, or wages), the amount allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be the amount of Tax that would be payable for such portion of the Straddle Period if such Person filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes or Taxes solely for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books” methodology for allocating items of such Tax Return; and (ii) in the case of all other such Taxes, the amount allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall equal to the amount of Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (1), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

• Allocation of Tax Items To the extent permitted by section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction for federal and state income tax purposes shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the corresponding "book" items thereof; however, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to Assets with respect to which there is a difference between "book" value and adjusted tax basis shall be allocated in accordance with the principles of section 704(c) of the IRS Code and section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, if applicable. Where a disparity exists between the book value of an Asset and its adjusted tax basis, then solely for tax purposes (and not for purposes of computing Capital Accounts), income, gain, loss, deduction and credit with respect to such Asset shall be allocated among the Members to take such difference into account in accordance with section 704(c)(i)(A) of the IRS Code and Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i). The allocations eliminating such disparities shall be made using any reasonable method permitted by the Code, as determined by the Manager.

• Special Allocations The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

• Allocation of Tax Liabilities The provisions of this Section 2 are intended to determine each Company's liability for Taxes with respect to Pre-Distribution Periods. Once the liability has been determined under this Section 2, Section 5 determines the time when payment of the liability is to be made, and whether the payment is to be made to the Tax Authority directly or to another Company.

• Allocation of Realized Losses Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, that resulted from any Cash Liquidation, Servicing Modification, Debt Service Reduction, Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition that occurred during the related Prepayment Period or, in the case of a Servicing Modification that constitutes a reduction of the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan, the amount of the reduction in the interest portion of the Monthly Payment due during the related Due Period. The amount of each Realized Loss shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate. All Realized Losses, other than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Extraordinary Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Excess Fraud Losses, shall be allocated as follows: first, to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-3 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-2 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-1 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and, thereafter, if any such Realized Losses are on a Discount Mortgage Loan, to the Class A-P Certificates in an amount equal to the Discount Fraction of the principal portion thereof, and the remainder of such Realized Losses on the Discount Mortgage Loans and the entire amount of such Realized Losses on Non-Discount Mortgage Loans will be allocated among all the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-V Certificates and Class A-P Certificates) in the case of the principal portion of such loss on a pro rata basis and among all of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) in the case of the interest portion of such loss on a pro rata basis, as described below. Any Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Extraordinary Losses on Non-Discount Mortgage Loans will be allocated among the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) and Subordinate Certificates, on a pro rata basis, as described below. The principal portion of such Realized Losses on the Discount Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the Class A-P Certificates in an amount equal to the Discount Fraction thereof and the remainder of such Realized Losses on the Discount Mortgage Loans and the entire amount of such Realized Losses on Non- Discount Mortgage Loans will be allocated among the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P Certificates) and Subordinate Certificates, on a pro rata basis, as described below. As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro rata basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date in the case of the principal portion of a Realized Loss or based on the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon payable on such Distribution Date (without regard to any Compensating Interest for such Distribution Date) in the case of an interest portion of a Realized Loss. Except as provided in the following sentence, any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to a Class of Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which allocation shall be deemed to have occurred on such Distribution Date; provided that no such reduction shall reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates below the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. Any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to the Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the Lowest Priority shall be made by operation of the definition of "Certificate Principal Balance" and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a). Allocations of the interest portions of Realized Losses (other than any interest rate reduction resulting from a Servicing Modification) shall be made in proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest and by operation of the definition of "Accrued Certificate Interest" and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a). Allocations of the interest portion of a Realized Loss resulting from an interest rate reduction in connection with a Servicing Modification shall be made by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a). Allocations of the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions shall be made by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a). All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby; provided that if any Subclasses of the Class A-V Certificates have been issued pursuant to Section 5.01(c), such Realized Losses and other losses allocated to the Class A-V Certificates shall be allocated among such Subclasses in proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest payable on such Distribution Date that would have resulted absent such reductions.

• Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items (a) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts at a depository institution (which may be a depository institution with which the Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary course of its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and to deposit therein any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments, water rates, standard hazard insurance policy premiums, Payaheads, if applicable, or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have been escrowed for such purpose) only in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. Each Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required to be paid to Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer. The Master Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, Standard Hazard Insurance Policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to pay such items), provided that it or the applicable Servicer has determined that the funds so advanced are recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02 or otherwise. (b) Costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by any Servicer in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans may be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note where the terms of the Mortgage Note so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders. Such costs, to the extent that they are unanticipated, extraordinary costs, and not ordinary or routine costs shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02.

• Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law. (b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund. (c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.

• Proration of Taxes For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, (a) Property Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (b) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

• Tax Allocations Each item of income, gain, loss or deduction recognized by the Company shall be allocated among the Members for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes in the same manner that each such item is allocated to the Member’s Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 3.2(d) or as otherwise provided herein, provided that the Board may adjust such allocations as long as such adjusted allocations have substantial economic effect or are in accordance with the interests of the Members in the Company, in each case within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Tax credits and tax credit recapture shall be allocated in accordance with the Members’ interests in the Company as provided in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property (other than cash) contributed to the capital of the Company or revalued shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution or revaluation, as the case may be. All of the Members agree that the Board is authorized to select the method or convention, or to treat an item as an extraordinary item, in relation to any variation of any Member’s interest in the Company described in section 1.706-4 of the Treasury Regulations in determining the Members’ distributive shares of Company items. All matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, including accounting procedures, not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Each Class B Ordinary Share is intended to be treated as a profits interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all of the Members agree to report consistently with, and to take any action requested by the Board to ensure, such treatment.

• General Allocations The items of Profit and Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable period, other than any items allocated under Section 5.1(a), shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner that will, as nearly as possible (after giving effect to the allocations under Section 5.1(a), 5.1(c), 5.1(f), 5.1(g) and 5.2(c)) cause the Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such fiscal year or other applicable period to equal (i) the amount of the hypothetical distribution that such Partner would receive if the Partnership were liquidated on the last day of such period and all assets of the Partnership, including cash, were sold for cash equal to their Carrying Values, taking into account any adjustments thereto for such period, all liabilities of the Partnership were satisfied in full in cash according to their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability) and the remaining cash proceeds (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 5.2, minus (ii) the sum of such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and the amount, if any and without duplication, that the Partner would be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, all computed as of the date of the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may make such allocations as it deems reasonably necessary to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement, taking into account facts and circumstances as the General Partner deems reasonably necessary for this purpose.
