REIT Provisions. Tenant and Landlord intend that all amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord shall qualify as “rents from real property,” and will otherwise not constitute “unrelated business taxable income” or “impermissible tenant services income,” all within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”). In the event that Landlord determines that there is any risk that any amount payable under this Lease may not qualify as “rents from real property” or will otherwise constitute impermissible tenant services income within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code and the Regulations, Tenant agrees to (a) cooperate with Landlord, at no material expense to Tenant, by entering into such amendment or amendments as Landlord deems necessary to qualify all amounts payable under this Lease as “rents from real property,” and (b) permit (and, upon request, to acknowledge in writing) an assignment of the obligation to provide certain services under the Lease, and, upon request, to enter into direct agreements with the parties furnishing such services (which shall include, but not be limited to, a taxable REIT subsidiary of Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence (including acknowledging in writing an assignment of services pursuant thereto) if such action would result in (i) Tenant incurring more than de minimis additional liability under this Lease, or (ii) more than a de minimis negative change in the quality or level of Building operations or services rendered to Tenant under this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt: (A) if Tenant does not acknowledge in writing an assignment as described in clause (b) above (it being agreed that Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such acknowledgment so long as the criteria in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove are satisfied), then Landlord shall not be released from liability under this Lease with respect to the services so assigned; and (B) nothing in this Section shall limit or otherwise affect Landlord’s ability to assign its entire interest in this Lease to any party as part of a conveyance of Landlord’s ownership interest in the Building.
REIT Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Members hereby acknowledge the status of M-C Corp. as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). The Members further agree that the Company (and any subsidiaries) and the Project shall be managed in a manner so that: (a) the Company’s gross income meets the tests provided in Section 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code as if the Company were a REIT; (b) the Company’s assets meet the tests provided in Section 856(c)(4) of the Code as if the Company were a REIT; and (c) the Company minimizes federal, state and local income and excise taxes that may be incurred by M-C Corp or any of its affiliates, including taxes under Code Sections 857(b), 860(c) or 4981 (collectively and together with other REIT provisions of the Code or Regulations, the “REIT Requirements”) provided that such minimization does not unreasonably increase taxes or costs for the other Members. The Members hereby acknowledge, agree and accept that, pursuant to this Section 9.5(a), the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) may be precluded from taking, or may be required to take, an action which it would not have otherwise taken, even though the taking or not taking of such action might otherwise be advantageous to the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and/or to one or more of the Members (or one or more of their subsidiaries or affiliates).
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Manager nor any Member will require the Company to take any material action which may, in the reasonable opinion of MCG’s tax advisors or legal counsel, result in the loss of M-C Corp.’s status as a REIT. Furthermore, the Manager shall take reasonable steps to structure the Company’s (or any subsidiary’s) transactions to eliminate any prohibited transactions tax or other taxes that may be applicable to MCG and/or M-C Corp to the extent such actions do not impose an unreasonable cost or tax on other Members.
(c) If MCG’s counsel reasonably determines that a taxable REIT subsidiary (as described in Section 856(l) of the Code) (a “TRS”) should be established to hold MCG’s Membership Interest, or to provide services at the Project, then M-C Corp., MCG or the Members (or any of their affiliates), as applicable, may form, or cause to be formed, such TRS only if it (i) provides at least five (5) days prior written notice thereof to the Members and (ii) prepares forms for election under Section 856(l)(l)(B) of the Code (in accor...
REIT Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of the Act, any action of the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or any decision by the Managing Member to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company, based on an opinion of tax counsel selected by the Managing Member (and reasonably acceptable to the other Members, the other Members agreeing that, for this purpose, an opinion of counsel issued by any of the following law firms is deemed to be acceptable until the fifth anniversary of the close of the Company’s taxable year in which the certificate of occupancy is issued for the Property (as may be extended with the mutual approval of the Members): [***], or their successors) that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order to: (i) protect the ability of LPT to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, or (ii) avoid LPT incurring any material taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Members.
(b) At any time when a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Company is owned by an entity that has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall without the prior written consent of Liberty: (i) except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Project, acquire any asset that is not described in Section 856(c)(4)(a) of the Code or any successor provision; (ii) enter into a loan secured by an interest in real property in which the Company would receive income from a “shared appreciation provision” as defined in Section 856(j)(5) of the Code; (iii) enter into a loan in which the interest income depends, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, on the income or profits of any person for purposes of Section 856(f) of the Code; (iv) enter into any lease involving real property where any portion of the rents would be excluded from the definition of “rents from real property” under Section 856(d)(2) of the Code; (v) sell any property which, when sold, would constitute property described in Section 1221(1) of the Code, except when the net selling price is less than $10,000; except with respect to a taxable REIT subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) and securities described in Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code, acquire securities of any single issuer having a value greater than four percent (4%) of the value of the Compa...
REIT Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other document governing the management and operation of the Company, Venture Corp. shall have the right to direct the Manager to cause the Company to take any reasonable action or to refrain from taking any action (including but not limited to using a protective trust to own assets) to (i) preserve the continued qualification of IRC as a real estate investment trust under Section 856 of the Code (a “REIT”), (ii) preserve the continued qualification of any Affiliates of IRC as taxable REIT subsidiaries and (iii) avoid the imposition of additional taxes on IRC and its Affiliates under Section 857 of the Code or Section 4981 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively the “REIT Rules”). The Members agree that in the event that Venture Corp. proposes to have the Manager take any action (or cause the Company to take any action) to ensure the continued qualification of IRC as a REIT, to preserve the continued qualification of any Affiliates of IRC as taxable REIT subsidiaries or to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under the REIT Rules on IRC, Venture Corp. shall (x) notify and consult with the Manager regarding, and prior to directing, such proposed action and (y) not have liability to the other Member for monetary damages or otherwise for losses sustained or liabilities incurred in connection with such actions provided that Venture Corp. acts in good faith to determine and implement a course of action that preserves IRC’s REIT status or avoids the imposition of additional taxes on IRC or Venture Corp. in a manner which minimizes the adverse effects on any other Member’s rights and obligations hereunder.
REIT Provisions. If Landlord or any assignee of the beneficial rights of Landlord is ever a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”), then Tenant acknowledges and confirms that the obligations of Landlord hereunder are not and will not be binding on a trustee of the REIT, any registered or beneficial holder of one or more units of a REIT (“Unitholder”) or any annuitant under a plan of which such a Unitholder acts as trustee or carrier, or any officers, employees or agents of the REIT and that resort shall not be had to, nor shall recourse or satisfaction be sought from, any of the foregoing or the private property of any of the foregoing but recourse shall be had against the assets of the REIT only. Any obligation of the REIT set out in this Agreement or the Lease shall to the extent necessary to give effect to such obligation be deemed to constitute, subject to the provisions of the previous sentence, an obligation of the trustees of the REIT in their capacity as trustees of the REIT only. If the beneficial owner of the Shopping Centre is a Person other than the registered owner of the Shopping Centre, the Tenant’s recourse to such beneficial owner hereunder shall be limited only to such beneficial owner’s right, title and interest in and to the Shopping Centre and all rights appurtenant thereto and all proceeds resulting therefrom.
REIT Provisions. Section 20.1 The Company and the Series generally intend to carry out the investment program by making a portion of its investments through one or more REITs (each, a “REIT Subsidiary”).
(a) To the extent permitted by law, but notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit B shall be applied to the Company and the Series in the same manner as to any REIT Subsidiary mutatis mutandis. Specifically, but without limiting the application of the provisions of Exhibit B, in the event that (i) any Share is Transferred or any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Shareholder is Transferred and (ii) as a result of such Transfer, the interests in any REIT Subsidiary that are held, directly or indirectly, by the Company and/or Series would otherwise be subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit B, then provisions similar to those set forth in Exhibit B shall apply to Shares to which such purported Transfer relates. The Shareholders agree that the Shares that were the subject of the purported Transfer shall be automatically transferred to a trust for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary in such amount as shall be sufficient to ensure that no equity interests of a REIT Subsidiary shall be automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust (or similar) under the applicable REIT Subsidiary Agreement. In the event of a transfer of Shares to a Charitable Trust (or similar), provisions comparable to Sections 2.1.1(b) and 2.2 of Exhibit B shall apply to the transferred Shares and such trust. The intention of this Section 20.2 is to cause each Shareholder to bear the consequences of direct and indirect Transfers that relate to such Shareholder’s Shares that otherwise would have caused equity interests of a REIT Subsidiary to be automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust (or similar) under the applicable REIT Subsidiary Agreement.
(b) In the event that (i) any Share is Transferred or any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Shareholder is Transferred and (ii) notwithstanding Section 20.2(a), above, as a result of such Transfer, the interests in any REIT Subsidiary that are held by the Company and/or Series are subject to Section 2.1.1 of Exhibit B, then (A) the Shareholder who is the transferee of the Shares or whose Shares are the subject of the Transfer of the direct or indirect ownership interest, as the case may be, shall (1) repay to the Company and/or Series the amount
REIT Provisions. (a) The Company and the Members acknowledge and agree that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, which owns CVOP and therefore an indirect interest in the Company, is treated as a “real estate investment trust,” within the meaning of Code Section 856, and is therefore subject to the requirements set forth in Code Sections 856 through 859.
(b) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, without the prior written approval of CVOP, the Company shall not take any action that would result in any of the following consequences to the Company (treating the Company as if it were a REIT, but only with respect to assets and operational matters as opposed to ownership), without the prior written consent of CVOP:
(i) to recognize any income that would cause the Company to fail to satisfy either the “75 percent gross income test” set forth in Code Section 856(c)(3) or the “95 percent gross income test” set forth in Code Section 856 (c)(2);
(ii) to hold any property that would cause the Company to fail to satisfy on the last day of each calendar quarter (determined taking into account the cure period rules set forth in Code Section 856(c)(4)) any of (A) the “75 percent asset test” set forth in Code Section 856(c)(4)(A), (B) the “25 percent asset test” set forth in Code Section 856(c)(4)(B)(i), (C) the “25 percent value limitation” set forth in Code Section 856(c)(4)(B)(ii), (D) the “5 percent value limitation” set forth in Code Section 856(c)(4)(B)(iii)(I), or (E) the “10 percent vote and value limitations” set forth in Code Sections 856(c)(4)(B)(iii)(II) and (III); and
(iii) to engage in a transaction that reasonably could be expected to be treated as a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Code Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) unless the transaction qualifies for the safe harbor with respect to a “prohibited transaction” set forth in Code Section 857(b)(6)(C) (taking into account any other “safe harbor” transactions engaged in by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or any Affiliate (including any joint venture, partnership or limited liability company in which the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or an Affiliate invests), which information CVOP will provide to the Company upon written request).

FBR Asset shall make an election as provided in Section 856(l)(1) of the Code, together with FBR Group, to treat FBR Group and each first-tier subsidiary of FBR Group in existence on the effective date of such election as a "taxable REIT subsidiary" effective as of the first business day preceding the FBR Asset Effective Time (provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof (or otherwise), FBR Asset shall promptly join FBR Group and each such subsidiary in a revocation of each such election). FBR Asset shall (i) not elect to treat Newco as a "taxable REIT subsidiary" and (ii) maintain ownership of 100% of the common stock and any other equity securities of Newco at all times prior to the FBR Asset Effective Time. Newco shall (i) elect, in the time and manner provided by Section 856(c)(1) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, to be a "real estate investment trust" for the taxable year ending on December 31st of the calendar year in which the Closing Date falls, (ii) timely make, and cause each first-tier subsidiary of FBR Group in existence immediately prior to the Effective Time to join in timely making, a joint election under Section 856(l)(1) on Form 8875 (or a successor form) to treat each first-tier subsidiary of FBR Group in existence immediately prior to the Effective Time as a "taxable REIT subsidiary" effective as of the FBR Asset Effective Time and (iii) not make a deemed sale election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-7T(c) with respect to the assets of FBR Group.
REIT Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 or any other provision of this Warrant, there shall be no limitation on a holder's sale or other disposition of this Warrant, any Registrable Securities or other securities issued or to be issued pursuant to this Warrant if the holder intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes and believes (as determined in the holder's sole discretion) that continued ownership of such securities could have an adverse impact on its ability to qualify as a real estate investment trust.
