v. | The Partnership, TPG Cayman and the unit holders of the Partnership listed on Schedule IV hereto (i) shall, and each hereby agrees to, enter into an TPG Cayman Class A Unit Rollover Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N, in connection with the contribution by holders of Class A-T Units of the Partnership and Class A-T2 Units of the Partnership in exchange for Class A-T Units of TPG Cayman and Class A-T2 Units of TPG Cayman, promptly following Pricing and prior to the IPO Effective Time. |
w. | The Partnership, New TMM and the unit holders of the Partnership listed on Schedule IV hereto (i) shall, and each hereby agrees to, enter into a New TMM Cayman Limited Partnership Incentive Unit Exchange Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O, promptly following Pricing and prior to the IPO Effective Time. |

4. Exchange of Units of TMM for Units of New TMM.
a. | The number of common units of New TMM that will be issued in exchange for any Class A-O Unit, Class A-O2 Unit, Class A-T Unit, Class A-T2 Unit, Class M-O Unit, Class M-O2 Unit, Class M-T Unit, Class M-T2 Unit, Class J1-O Unit, Class J2-O Unit, Class J3-O Units Class J1-T Unit, Class J2-T Unit or Class J3-T Unit of the Partnership will be calculated as follows: |
i. | The number of outstanding common units of New TMM immediately following the Second Initial New TMM Contribution and Second New TMM Contribution will equal [] and [], respectively. |
15
ii. | The value of the Partnership immediately prior to the [IPO Effective Time] (the Pre-IPO Partnership Value) will be equal to the product of (a) the number of outstanding common units of New TMM immediately following the Second New TMM Contribution, multiplied by (b) the IPO Price Per Share. |
iii. | Each Class A-O Unit, Class A-O2 Unit, Class A-T Unit, Class A-T2 Unit, Class M-O Unit, Class M-O2 Unit, Class M-T Unit, Class M-T2 Unit, Class J1-O Unit, Class J2-O, Class J3-O Units, Class J1-T Unit, Class J2-T Unit and Class J3-T Unit of the Partnership will be exchanged for a number of common units of New TMM calculated by dividing (i) the amount of cash that would be required to be distributed in respect of such unit of the Partnership (if any) if all assets of the Partnership were sold for a total cash value equal to the Pre-IPO Partnership Value and the proceeds from such sale were distributed in accordance with Section 5.1(b) of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, as in effect as of the date hereof (the Original LPA), by (ii) the IPO Price Per Share. No fractional common units of New TMM will be issued. In lieu of any fractional common units of New TMM, a Party otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in a common unit of New TMM, shall receive the nearest whole number of common units of New TMM (with fractions equal to exactly 0.5 being rounded up). |
5. Consent to the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO.
a. | Each of the Parties hereto hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents to all of the Reorganization Transactions. Each of the Parties hereto shall take all action necessary or appropriate in order to effect, or cause to be effected, to the extent within its control, each of the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO. |
b. | The Parties hereto shall deliver to each other, as applicable, as soon as practicable prior to the IPO Effective Time, each of the Reorganization Documents to which it is a Party, together with any other documents and instruments necessary or desirable to be delivered in connection with the Reorganization Transactions. |
c. | The Parties hereto intend that the JHI O Unit Contribution, the JHI T Unit Contribution, the Canadian Management O Unit Contribution, the Canadian Management T Unit Contribution and the Initial New TMM Contributions be treated for Canadian federal income tax purposes as dispositions of property to a partnership that qualify for the election under subsection 97(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as amended (the ITA) and the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial statute. The elected amount in such elections shall be determined by the disposing |
16
partner in its sole discretion, but such elected amount shall not be less than its cost amount (as defined in the ITA) of the property disposed of to the applicable partnership and, in the case of the Initial New TMM Contribution, shall be equal to its cost amount of the property. The Parties further agree to jointly make the necessary elections and to execute and file, within the prescribed delays, the prescribed election forms and any other documents required to give effect to the foregoing. All the members of each of Oaktree Cayman, TPG Cayman and New TMM hereby give authorization to each of Oaktree Cayman GP, TPG Cayman GP and New TMM GP specifically to act on their behalf regarding the execution, signing and filing of such prescribed election forms and documents and agree to sign an authorizing agreement to confirm such authority of each of Oaktree Cayman GP, TPG Cayman GP and New TMM GP. |
d. | The Parties hereto intend that (i) the JHI O Unit Contribution, the JHI T Unit Contribution, the Canadian Management O Unit Contribution, the Canadian Management T Unit Contribution, the Oaktree Cayman Contribution, and the TPG Cayman Contribution each be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a contribution to a partnership under Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code); and (ii) New TMM be treated as a continuation of the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Parties will not take a position on a tax return filed with a taxing authority inconsistent with the foregoing except in the case of a final determination by such taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) New TMM shall file an election described in Treasury Regulation Section  ###-###-####-3 to be classified, as of a date no later than the date hereof, as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and any similar election under state, local or non-U.S. law), and it shall not file any election to be classified as other than a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
e. | Each Party hereto shall, no later than the date hereof, execute and deliver a copy of each FIRPTA Notice (as defined in Exhibit R) set forth opposite such Partys name in Exhibit R in a form reasonably acceptable to TPG Cayman GP and Oaktree Cayman GP. Each Party shall, within five (5) days of the date hereof, deliver to the address specified in Exhibit R two (2) original copies of each FIRPTA Notice executed by such Party. It is the expectation of the Parties that no withholding will be required under Section 1445 of the Code in connection with the Reorganization Transactions, except with respect to the Canadian Management O Unit Contribution and the Canadian Management T Unit Contribution, in each case to the extent that Oaktree Cayman or TPG Cayman, as the case may be, does not receive a final Notice of Nonrecognition (as defined in Exhibit R) from the relevant Canadian Management Party prior to the time that Oaktree Cayman or TPG Cayman, as the case may be, submits such withholding tax to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Parties will not take a position on a tax return filed with a taxing authority inconsistent with the foregoing except in the case of a final determination by such taxing authority. |
17
f. | Each Canadian Management Party acknowledges that such party will be subject to withholding under Section 1445 of the Code in connection with the Canadian Management O Unit Contribution and the Canadian Management T Unit Contribution, in each case to the extent that Oaktree Cayman or TPG Cayman, as the case may be, does not receive a final Notice of Nonrecognition from such Canadian Management Party prior to the time that Oaktree Cayman or TPG Cayman, as the case may be, submits such withholding tax to the IRS. Each Canadian Management Party agrees to take all action necessary to ensure that the Canadian Management O Unit Contribution and the Canadian Management T Unit Contribution qualify for nonrecognition treatment under the Code (including Section 897 of the Code), including, but not limited to, provision of the FIRPTA Notices required by Exhibit R. |
6. No Liabilities in Event of Termination; Certain Covenants. In the event that TMHC determines in writing to abandon the IPO prior to the occurrence of the events described in Section 2, (A) this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect except for this Section 6 and Sections 8(c), (f), (g), (j) and (k) and (B) there shall be no liability on the part of any of the Parties hereto, except that such termination shall not preclude any Party from pursuing judicial remedies for damages and/or other relief as a result of the breach by the other Parties of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein prior to such termination. In the event that TMHC determines to abandon the IPO after the occurrence of some or all of the events described in Section 2, the Parties agree, as applicable, to amend the TMHC Stockholders Agreement, the TMHI Governance Agreement, the Monarch Governance Agreement, the TMHC Registration Rights Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and the limited partnership agreements of New TMM, TPG Cayman, Oaktree Cayman and the Partnership so that the governance, transfer restrictions, liquidity rights and other provisions therein with respect to New TMM, TPG Cayman, Oaktree Cayman, the Partnership and each of their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries correspond in the aggregate in all substantive respects with the provisions contained in the Original LPA, the Canadian Parent Governance Agreement (as defined in the Original LPA), the US Parent Governance Agreement (as defined in the Original LPA), the General Partner Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the Original LPA) and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 13, 2011, by and among the Partnership, Builders, Toeis, Oaktree TM, JHI Holding and the other parties thereto.
7. Representations and Warranties.
a. | Representations and Warranties of all Parties. Each Party hereby represents and warrants to all of the other Parties hereto as follows: |
i. | To the extent such Party is not an individual, such Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation. The execution, |
18
delivery and performance by such Party of this Agreement and of the applicable Reorganization Documents, to the extent a Party thereto and to the extent such Party is not an individual, has been or prior to the IPO Effective Time will be duly authorized by all necessary action; |
ii. | To the extent such Party is not an individual, such Party has or prior to the IPO Effective Time will have the requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Agreement and each of the Reorganization Documents, to the extent a Party thereto, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, as the case may be; |
iii. | This Agreement and each of the Reorganization Documents to which it is a Party has been (or when executed will be) duly executed and delivered by such Party and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and |
iv. | Neither the execution, delivery and performance by such Party of this Agreement and the applicable Reorganization Documents, to the extent a Party thereto, nor the consummation by such Party of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by such Party with the terms and provisions hereof, will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time or both), (i) contravene or conflict with, or result in a breach or termination of, or constitute a default under (or with notice or lapse of time or both, result in the breach or termination of or constitute a default under) the organization documents of such Party (to the extent such Party is not an individual), (ii) constitute a violation by such Party of any existing requirement of law applicable to such Party or any of its properties, rights or assets or (iii) require the consent or approval of any Person, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), as would not reasonably be expected to result in, individual or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the ability of such Party to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. |
v. | Such Party is the record and beneficial owner of any equity interests of TMHC, TMM, New TMM, TPG Cayman and/or Oaktree Cayman, as applicable, that are intended to be transferred by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Reorganization Documents |
19
and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and, as applicable, such Party has good and marketable title to such equity interests, free and clear of all encumbrances. Such Party has full right, power and authority to transfer and deliver to any other Party valid title to such equity interests held by such Party, free and clear of all encumbrances. |
vi. | Such Party (either alone or together with its advisors) has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Reorganization Transactions. Such Party has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Transactions and has had full access to such other information concerning the Reorganization Transactions as it has requested. Such Party has received all information that it believes is necessary or appropriate in connection with the Reorganization Transactions. Such Party is an informed and sophisticated party and has engaged, to the extent such Party deems appropriate, expert advisors experienced in the evaluation of transactions of the type contemplated hereby. Such Party is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. Such Party understands that the transfer of the securities acquired hereunder has not been registered and agrees to resell such securities pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to an available exemption from registration, or, if applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S under the Securities Act. |
vii. | To the extent such Party is an employee of Monarch, he or she is not a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) or purchasing for the account or benefit of a U.S. person, such Party is acquiring securities hereunder in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S and such Party agrees not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act. |
8. Miscellaneous.
a. | Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be modified, amended or waived only with the written approval of TPG Cayman and Oaktree Cayman, provided, however that an amendment or modification that would affect any other Party in a manner materially and disproportionately adverse to such Party shall be effective against such Party so materially and adversely affected only with the prior written consent of such Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure of any Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. |
b. | Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. |
20
c. | Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the Party to be notified; (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, provided that a copy of such notice is also sent via nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt; (c) three days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery with written verification of receipt.

d. | Further Assurances; Power of Attorney. |
i. | At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other Party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as another Party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the Parties hereunder. |
ii. | Each Management Party appoints Sheryl Palmer and Darrell Sherman (each an Attorney-in-Fact), and each of them, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as such Management Partys exclusive and irrevocable agent, proxy and attorney-in fact (and such proxy shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest), for all purposes under this Agreement and the Reorganization Documents, including full power and authority to act on such Management Partys behalf with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Attorney-in-Fact, acting in good faith, is authorized and empowered to: |
1. | make all determinations and take all actions with respect to such Management Partys equity interests of TMM, New TMM, TPG Cayman or Oaktree Cayman, including without limitation the exercise of all rights and the performance of all obligations under this Agreement and the Reorganization Documents, and the transfer or other disposition of such interests; |
25
2. | in connection with any such transfer or disposition, execute, endorse and receive all documents, instruments, certificates, statements and agreements on behalf of and in the name of such Management Party necessary to effectuate and consummate the Reorganization Transactions; |
3. | take all actions on such Management Partys behalf in connection with any claims made under this Agreement or any of the Reorganization Documents to defend or settle such claims; |
4. | approve any changes or modifications to the Reorganization Documents from the forms set forth on the Exhibits attached hereto prior to execution and delivery; |
5. | execute and deliver, should it elect to do so in its sole discretion, on such Management Partys behalf, any amendment to this Agreement or any of the Reorganization Documents or any waiver of any of the terms thereof; and |
6. | take all other actions to be taken by or on such Management Partys behalf that are permitted or required under this Agreement or any of the Reorganization Documents. |
iii. | All decisions and actions taken by the Attorney-in-Fact will be binding upon the Management Parties; no Management Party will have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same; and each Party will be able to rely conclusively on the written instructions of the Attorney-in-Fact as to such decisions and actions taken by the Attorney-in-Fact hereunder. The Attorney-in-Fact will not be liable to any Management Party for any action taken by it in good faith pursuant to this Agreement. The Attorney-in-Fact is serving in that capacity solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of any Management Party hereunder. |
26
e. | Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement, together with the Reorganization Documents, embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. |
f. | Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any court or before any similar authority other than in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, and the Parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of such suit, proceeding or judgment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have had to bring such an action in any other court, domestic or foreign, or before any similar domestic or foreign authority. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding in relation to this Agreement and for any counterclaim herein. |
g. | Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. |
h. | Enforcement. Each Party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching Party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. |
i. | No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other Person or entity shall be a third Party beneficiary hereof. |
j. | Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. |
27
k. | Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature(s). |

Re: Certification of Non-Foreign Status of [Party Providing Notice]
Dear Sir or Madam:
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445 of the Code), 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 [Party Providing Notice] (Transferor), the undersigned hereby certifies the following:
1. | Transferor is not a nonresident alien for U.S. income tax purposes; |
2. | Transferors U.S. [social security number/taxpayer identification number] is [ ]; and |
3. | Transferors home address is [ ]. |
Transferor understands that this certification 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.
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.

[Address]
Re: Notice of nonrecognition transaction from [Party Providing Notice] to [Transferee]
Dear Sir or Madam:
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest (a USRPI) must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. Under Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-2(d)(2), a transferee shall not be required to withhold under section 1445 of the Code with respect to a USRPI if the transferor notifies the transferee that by reason of the operation of a nonrecognition provision of the Code, the transferor is not required to recognize gain or loss with respect to the transfer. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the transfer of USRPIs by [Party Providing Notice] (Transferor) to [Transferee] (Transferee), the undersigned hereby certifies the following [if Party Providing Notice is an entity: on behalf of Transferor]:
A. | Notice. To inform the Transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a USRPI by Transferor, the undersigned hereby submits this notice of a nonrecognition transaction pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-2(d)(2). |
B. | Transferor. |
1. | The name of the Transferor submitting this Notice is [Party Providing Notice]; |
2. | The taxpayer identification number of the Transferor is [ ]; and [Note: If the Party Providing Notice does not have a TIN as of the day prior to the date of the Notice, the initial Notice provided should read The Transferor does not currently have a taxpayer identification number and has applied for one on IRS Form W-7, requesting processing under Exception 4.] |
3. | The [home/office] address of the Transferor is [ ]. |
C. | Statement. Transferor is not required to recognize any gain or loss with respect to the transfer described herein. |
D. | Description of the Transfer. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement executed by Transferor and Transferee on [ ] (the Reorganization Agreement), Transferor will transfer to Transferee a partnership interest (the Transferred Interest) in [Partnership] |
-65-
(the Partnership) in exchange for a partnership interest in Transferee (the Received Interest). The Partnership may hold a USRPI. Immediately after the exchange of the Transferred Interest for the Received Interest, the Transferee will indirectly hold the same potential USRPI. |
E. | Summary of Facts and Law Supporting Nonrecognition. Code section 721(a) provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized to a partnership or to any of its partners in the case of a contribution of property to the partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership. Code section 721(b) provides that subsection (a) does not apply in the case of a contribution to a partnership which would be treated as an investment company (within the meaning of section 351 of the Code) if the partnership were incorporated. |
In the present case, Transferor will transfer the Transferred Interest to the Transferee in exchange for the Received Interest. Transferee would not be treated as an investment company (within the meaning of section 351 of the Code) if Transferee were incorporated. Therefore, under Code section 721(a), no gain or loss is recognized to Transferor or Transferee as a result of the contribution of the Transferred Interest in exchange for the Received Interest.
Code section 897(e) provides that a nonrecognition provision of the Code shall apply only in the case of an exchange of a USRPI for an interest the sale of which would be subject to taxation. Code section 897(g) provides that the transfer of a partnership interest is taxable to the extent that the partnership interest is attributable to USRPIs. Immediately after the exchange of the Transferred Interest for the Received Interest, the Transferee will indirectly hold the same potential USRPI that the Transferor currently holds indirectly. Therefore, the transfer of the Received Interest would be taxable to the extent that the Received Interest is attributable to a USRPI. Furthermore, the extent the Received Interest is attributable to a USRPI will be the same as the extent the Transferred Interest is attributable to a USRPI. Therefore, the requirement of section 897(e) is met and the nonrecognition provision of Code section 721(a) applies to the transfer described herein.
Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-2(d)(2)(ii) provides that a transferee may not rely upon this Notice of Nonrecognition Transfer, and must withhold under section 1445(a) with respect to the transfer of a USRPI, if the Transferor qualifies for nonrecognition treatment with respect to part, but not all, of the gain realized by the Transferor upon the transfer. In the present case, Transferor is transferring the Transferred Interest solely in exchange for the Received Interest. Therefore, the Transferor qualifies for nonrecognition treatment with respect to all of the gain realized by the transferor upon the transfer of the Transferred Property pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement and Transferee may rely upon the rule set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-2(d)(2)(i).
Transferor understands that this certification will be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

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 [if Party Providing Notice is an entity:, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor].

Re: FIRPTA Status of TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership
Dear Sir or Madam:
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest (USRPI) must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. Under Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-11T(d)(2), no withholding under section 1445 of the Code is required upon the disposition by a foreign partner of an interest in a domestic or foreign partnership if the transferee is provided a statement, issued by the partnership and signed by a general partner under penalties of perjury no earlier than 30 days before the transfer, certifying that fifty percent or more of the value of the gross assets of the partnership does not consist of USRPIs, or that ninety percent or more of the value of the gross assets of the partnership does not consist of USRPIs plus cash or cash equivalents.
Pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-11T(d)(2), the undersigned hereby certifies on behalf of TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership (the Partnership) that ninety percent or more of the value of the gross assets of the Partnership does not consist of USRPIs plus cash or cash equivalents.
The Partnership understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
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 authority to sign this document on behalf of the Partnership.
