Minimum Liability Allocation. (a) During the Tax Protection Period, the Partnership will offer to each Protected Partner the opportunity, in the Partnership’s discretion, either (i) to enter into a “bottom dollar guarantee” of certain liabilities of the Partnership (substantially in the form set forth in Schedule 2.1(c)) pursuant to which the lender for the guaranteed liability is required to pursue all other collateral and security for the guaranteed liability (other than any “bottom dollar guarantees”) prior to seeking to collect on such a guarantee, and the lender shall have recourse against the guarantor only if, and solely to the extent that, the total amount recovered by the lender with respect to the guaranteed liability after the lender has exhausted its remedies is less than the aggregate of the guaranteed amounts with respect to such liability, and the maximum aggregate liability of each partner for all guaranteed liabilities shall be limited to the amount actually guaranteed by such partner (a “Bottom Guarantee”) or (ii) to enter into a Deficit Restoration Obligation, in such amount or amounts so as to cause a special allocation of partnership liabilities to such Protected Partner for purposes of Section 752 of the Code such that the Protected Partner’s allocable share of Partnership liabilities equals such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount and to cause a special allocation of partnership liabilities for purposes of Section 465 of the Code that increases the Protected Partner’s “at risk” amount by an amount equal to such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount (determined as of the Closing Date). In order to minimize the need for the Protected Partner to enter into such Bottom Guarantees or Deficit Restoration Obligations, the Protected Partner will use the additional method under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) to allocate Nonrecourse Liabilities to the Indirect Owners to the maximum extent possible. In the event that applicable Treasury Regulations (the “Applicable Rules”) are issued which modify the requirements for bottom dollar guarantees to be effective in causing special allocations of partnership liabilities to Protected Partners for purposes of Section 752 of the Code and/or Section 465 of the Code, the Partnership, at its option and in its sole discretion, may agree to work with the Protected Partners together to modify any Bottom Guarantees to the extent necessary such that they will be effective under the Applicable Rules.

In order to minimize the need for Protected Partners to enter into Qualified Guarantees or DROs, the Partnership will use the optional method under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) to allocate Nonrecourse Liabilities considered secured by a Gain Limitation Property to the Protected Partners to the extent that the “built-in gain” with respect to those properties exceeds the amount of the Nonrecourse Liabilities considered secured by such Gain Limitation Property allocated to the Protected Partners under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(2).

During the Tax Protection Period, the Partnership will offer to each Protected Partner at the Protected Partner’s option the opportunity (i) to enter into a “bottom dollar guarantee” (whether individually or as part of a group of partners) of indebtedness of the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership or (ii) in the event the Partnership has sufficient recourse debt outstanding and the Protected Partner agrees in lieu of entering into a bottom dollar guarantee pursuant to clause (i) above, to enter into a Deficit Restoration Obligation, in such amount or amounts so as to cause the amount of Partnership liabilities allocated to such Protected Partner for purposes of Section 752 of the Code to be not less than such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount and to cause the amount of Partnership liabilities with respect to which such Protected Partner will be considered to be “at risk” for purposes of Section 465 of the Code to be not less than such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount. In order to minimize the need for Protected Partners to enter into guarantees or DROs, the Partnership will use the optional method under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) to allocate Nonrecourse Liabilities considered secured by any property acquired by the Partnership pursuant to the Transaction to and for the benefit of the Protected Partners to the extent that the “built-in gain” allocable to the Protected Partner under Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to those properties exceeds the amount of the Nonrecourse Liabilities considered secured by such property allocated to the Protected Partners under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(2). A bottom dollar guarantee or a DRO shall be presumed to cause a Protected Partner to be allocated an amount of liabilities equal to such Protected Partner’s Guaranteed Amounts of Guaranteed Debt or such Protected Partner’s DRO amount, as applicable, for purposes of Sections 465 and 752 of the Code.

Minimum Liability Allocation. During the term of the Protected Period, the REIT, the Partnership and the Companies agree for the benefit of the Protected Members that each Company will maintain an amount of indebtedness sufficient to allow each Protected Member, after taking advantage of the provisions of this Article III (including, without limitation the guarantee opportunities in Section 3.2), to be allocated liabilities of the Company for purposes of Section 752 of the Code, and to be “at risk” with respect to liabilities of the Company for purposes of Section 465 of the Code, in each case in an amount no less than such Protected Member’s Minimum Liability Amount.
Minimum Liability Allocation. Immediately following the Closing and during the entire Tax Protection Period, each Protected Partner will be allocated Nonrecourse Liabilities by the Partnership at least equal to the Minimum Liability Amount for such Protected Partner; provided further that the Partnership shall not, during or with respect to the Tax Protection Period, take any position contrary or inconsistent to such allocation in any federal or state income tax returns (including, without limitation, information returns, such as Schedules K-1, provided to partners in the Partnership and returns of Subsidiaries of the Partnership) or any dealings involving the Internal Revenue Service (including, without limitation, any audit, administrative appeal or any judicial proceeding involving the income tax returns of the Partnership or the tax treatment of any holder of partnership interests the Partnership).

Minimum Liability Allocation. It is the Partnership’s expectation that each Protected Partner will not be allocated Nonrecourse Liabilities in accordance with Section 752 of the Code at least equal to the Minimum Liability Amount for such Protected Partner during the Tax Protection Period. Accordingly, during the Tax Protection Period, the Partnership will make available to each such Protected Partner the opportunity to enter into Qualified Guarantees of Qualified Guarantee Indebtedness.
