Requirement and Characterization of Distributions; Distributions to Record Holders (a) Within 45 days following the end of each Quarter commencing with the Quarter ending on September 30, 2005, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter shall, subject to Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act, be distributed in accordance with this Article VI by the Partnership to the Partners as of the Record Date selected by the General Partner. All amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on any date from any source shall be deemed to be Operating Surplus until the sum of all amounts of Available Cash theretofore distributed by the Partnership to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.4 equals the Operating Surplus from the Closing Date through the close of the immediately preceding Quarter. Any remaining amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on such date shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.5, be deemed to be “Capital Surplus.” All distributions required to be made under this Agreement shall be made subject to Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a), in the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, all receipts received during or after the Quarter in which the Liquidation Date occurs, other than from borrowings described in (a)(ii) of the definition of Available Cash, shall be applied and distributed solely in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 12.4.
(c) The General Partner may treat taxes paid by the Partnership on behalf of, or amounts withheld with respect to, all or less than all of the Partners, as a distribution of Available Cash to such Partners.
(d) Each distribution in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be paid by the Partnership, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.
Taxation of Distributions The taxation of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ distributions depends on whether the distribution is a qualified distribution or a nonqualified distribution.
How Are Distributions from a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Taxed for Federal Income Tax Purposes Amounts distributed to you are generally excludable from your gross income if they (i) are paid after you attain age 59½, (ii) are made to your beneficiary after your death, (iii) are attributable to your becoming disabled, (iv) subject to various limits, the distribution is used to purchase a first home or, in limited cases, a second or subsequent home for you, your spouse, or you or your spouse’s grandchild or ancestor, or (v) are rolled over to another ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. Regardless of the foregoing, if you or your beneficiary receives a distribution within the five-taxable-year period starting with the beginning of the year to which your initial contribution to your ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ applies, the earnings on your account are includable in taxable income. In addition, if you roll over (convert) funds to your ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ from another individual retirement plan (such as a Traditional IRA or another ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ into which amounts were rolled from a Traditional IRA), the portion of a distribution attributable to rolled-over amounts which exceeds the amounts taxed in connection with the conversion to a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ is includable in income (and subject to penalty tax) if it is distributed prior to the end of the five-tax-year period beginning with the start of the tax year during which the rollover occurred. An amount taxed in connection with a rollover is subject to a 10% penalty tax if it is distributed before the end of the five-tax-year period. As noted above, the five-year holding period requirement is measured from the beginning of the five-taxable-year period beginning with the first taxable year for which you (or your spouse) made a contribution to a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ on your behalf. Previously, the law required that a separate five-year holding period apply to regular ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ contributions and to amounts contributed to a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ as a result of the rollover or conversion of a Traditional IRA. Even though the holding period requirement has been simplified, it may still be advisable to keep regular ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ contributions and rollover/ conversion ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ contributions in separate accounts. This is because amounts withdrawn from a rollover/conversion ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ within five years of the rollover/conversion may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. As noted above, a distribution from a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ that complies with all of the distribution and holding period requirements is excludable from your gross income. If you receive a distribution from a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ that does not comply with these rules, the part of the distribution that constitutes a return of your contributions will not be included in your taxable income, and the portion that represents earnings will be includable in your income. For this purpose, certain ordering rules apply. Amounts distributed to you are treated as coming first from your non-deductible contributions. The next portion of a distribution is treated as coming from amounts which have been rolled over (converted) from any non-▇▇▇▇ IRAs in the order such amounts were rolled over. Any remaining amounts (including all earnings) are distributed last. Any portion of your distribution which does not meet the criteria for exclusion from gross income may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Note that to the extent a distribution would be taxable to you, neither you nor anyone else can qualify for capital gains treatment for amounts distributed from your account. Similarly, you are not entitled to the special five- or ten- year averaging rule for lump-sum distributions that may be available to persons receiving distributions from certain other types of retirement plans. Rather, the taxable portion of any distribution is taxed to you as ordinary income. Your ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ is not subject to taxes on excess distributions or on excess amounts remaining in your account as of your date of death. You must indicate on your distribution request whether federal income taxes should be withheld on a distribution from a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. If you do not make a withholding election, we will not withhold federal or state income tax. Note that, for federal tax purposes (for example, for purposes of applying the ordering rules described above), ▇▇▇▇ IRAs are considered separately from Traditional IRAs.
Priorities of Distributions (a) On each Distribution Date, based solely on the information contained in the Servicer's Certificate, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Certificate Account (to the extent funds are available therein) (1) the amount payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.11(b)(ii) and shall pay such funds to itself, and (2) the Pool Distribution Amount for each Loan Group, in an amount as specified in written notice received by the Trustee from the Servicer no later than the Business Day following the related Determination Date, and shall apply such funds (or be deemed to apply such funds, as applicable), first to the payment to itself of the amount payable with respect to such Loan Group pursuant to Section 3.11(b)(i) and then to distributions in respect of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests as specified in this Section 5.02(a) and the Class 1-A-R Certificate in respect of the Class R-L Interest. Distributions shall be made on the Certificates in the fo▇▇▇wing order of priority and to the extent of such funds, paying priorities (i) and (ii) to each Group from the applicable Pool Distribution Amount and priorities (iii) and (iv) from the remaining combined Pool Distribution Amounts, in the following order of priority and to the extent of such funds:
(i) to each Class of Class A Certificates of such Group, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class and any shortfall being allocated among such Classes in proportion to the amount of the Interest Distribution Amount that would have been distributed in the absence of such shortfall;
(ii) to the Class A Certificates of a Group, in an aggregate amount up to the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for such Group, such distribution to be allocated among such Classes in accordance with Section 5.02(b) and;
(iii) to each Class of Subordinate Certificates, subject to paragraph (d) below, in the following order of priority:
(A) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(B) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
(C) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(D) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
(E) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(F) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
(G) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(H) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
(I) to the Class B-5 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(J) to the Class B-5 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
(K) to the Class B-6 Certificates, an amount allocable to interest equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date; and
(L) to the Class B-6 Certificates, an amount allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and
(iv) to the Holder of the Class 1-A-R Certificate, any amounts remaining in the Upper-Tier Certificate Sub-Account and any remaining Pool Distribution Amounts. No Class of Certificates will be entitled to any distributions with respect to the amount payable pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Interest Distribution Amount" after its Class Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. All distributions in respect of the Interest Distribution Amount for a Class will be applied first with respect to the amount payable pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of "Interest Distribution Amount," and second with respect to the amount payable pursuant to clause (ii) of such definition. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute any Reimbursement Amount sequentially to the Classes of Certificates then outstanding which bore the loss to which such Reimbursement Amount relates beginning with the most senior of such Classes of Certificates, up to, with respect to each Class, the amount of loss borne by such Class. Any Reimbursement Amount remaining after the application described in the preceding sentence shall be included in the applicable Pool Distribution Amount.
(b) from Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amounts to Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests beginning with the numeral "2,"
(c) from Loan Group 3 Principal Distribution Amounts to Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests beginning with the numeral "3" and (d) from Loan Group 4 Principal Distribution Amounts to Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests beginning with the numeral "4."
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions Subject to the rights of any Holder of any Partnership Interest set forth in a Partnership Unit Designation, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to distribute such amounts, at such times, as the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine, to the Holders as of any Partnership Record Date: (i) first, with respect to any Partnership Units that are entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of Holders of such class(es) of Partnership Units (and, within each such class, among the Holders of each such class, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests of such class on such Partnership Record Date); and (ii) second, with respect to any Partnership Units that are not entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of Holders of such class(es) of Partnership Units, as applicable (and, within each such class, among the Holders of each such class, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests of such class on such Partnership Record Date). Distributions payable with respect to any Partnership Units, other than any Partnership Units issued to the General Partner in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares by the General Partner, that were not outstanding during the entire quarterly period in respect of which any distribution is made shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Partnership Units were outstanding. The General Partner shall make such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the General Partner’s qualification as a REIT, to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the General Partner, for so long as the General Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”) and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the General Partner, eliminate any U.S. federal income or excise tax liability of the General Partner. Notwithstanding anything in the forgoing to the contrary, a Holder of LTIP Units will only be entitled to distributions with respect to an LTIP Unit as set forth in Article 16 hereof and in making distributions pursuant to this Section 5.1, the General Partner of the Partnership shall take into account the provisions of Section 16.4 hereof.
