Form of FIRPTA Certificate
(See attached)
FIRPTA CERTIFICATE
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by TravelCenters of America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Transferor”), pursuant to the Development Property Agreement, dated as of June , 2016, between TA Operating LLC and HPT TA Properties LLC, Transferor hereby certifies to HPT TA Properties LLC (“Transferee”) the following:
1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and income tax regulations thereunder);
2. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);
3. TA Operating LLC, which has legal title to one or more transferred U.S. real property interests under local law, is disregarded as an entity separate from Transferor for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
4. Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is 00-0000000; and
5. Transferor’s office address is 00000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000.
The undersigned and Transferor understand that this certificate may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
[Remainder of page intentionally left blank; signature page follows.]
Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have the authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
