C. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees) shall be borne by the Partnership.

The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset.
