Tax and Accounting Treatment Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, and for accounting purposes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by applicable Requirements of Law or GAAP.
Accounting Reports (a) By February 20 of each calendar year the General Partner shall provide to the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner all tax information necessary for the preparation of their federal and state income tax returns and other tax returns with regard to the jurisdiction(s) in which the Partnership is formed and in which the Apartment Housing is located.
(b) By March 1 of each calendar year the General Partner shall send to the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner: (1) a balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal year and statements of income, Partners' equity and changes in cash flow for such fiscal year prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and accompanied by an auditor's report containing an opinion of the Partnership's Accountants; (2) a report (which need not be audited) of any Distributions made at any time during the fiscal year, separately identifying Distributions from Net Operating Income for the fiscal year, Net Operating Income for prior years, Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, and reserves; and (3) a report setting forth the amount of all fees and other compensation and Distributions and reimbursed expenses paid by the Partnership for the fiscal year to the General Partner or Affiliates of the General Partner and the services performed in consideration therefor, which report shall be verified by the Partnership's Accountants, with the method of verification to include, at a minimum, a review of the time records of individual employees, the costs of whose services were reimbursed, and a review of the specific nature of the work performed by each such employee, all in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, including such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as the Accountants consider appropriate in the circumstances.
(c) Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter in which a Sale or Refinancing of the Apartment Housing occurs, the General Partner shall send to the Limited Partner and the Special Limited Partner a report as to the nature of the Sale or Refinancing and as to the Income and Losses for tax purposes and proceeds arising from the Sale or Refinancing.
Accounting and Financial Determinations Unless otherwise specified, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations and computations hereunder or thereunder (including under Clause 9.4 (Financial Condition)) shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder or thereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (or, if not consistently applied, accompanied by details of the inconsistencies); provided that if the Borrower elects to apply or is required to apply IFRS accounting principles in lieu of GAAP, upon any such election and notice to the Facility Agent, references herein to GAAP shall thereafter be construed to mean IFRS (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement); provided further that if, as a result of (a) any change in GAAP or IFRS or in the interpretation thereof or (b) the application by the Borrower of IFRS in lieu of GAAP, in each case, after the date of any financial statements referred to in Clause 8.1 (Financial Information, Reports, Notices, etc.), there is a change in the manner of determining any of the items referred to herein or thereunder that are to be determined by reference to GAAP, and the effect of such change would (in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower or the Facility Agent) be such as to affect the basis or efficacy of the financial covenants contained in Clause 9.4 (Financial Condition) in ascertaining the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Borrower notifies the Facility Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate such change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), then such item shall for the purposes of Clause 9.4 (Financial Condition) continue to be determined in accordance with GAAP relating thereto as if GAAP were applied immediately prior to such change in GAAP or in the interpretation thereof until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all obligations of any person that are or would be characterized as operating lease obligations in accordance with GAAP on the B34 Facility Amendment Date (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) shall continue to be accounted for as operating lease obligations for the purposes of this Agreement regardless of any change in GAAP following the B34 Facility Amendment Date that would otherwise require such obligations to be recharacterized (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) as capital leases.
