WHEREAS, the Contributions shall be structured to be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the Blackstone Entities shall be disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as well as for any analogous state or local tax purposes).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

 

1.     Words and phrases which are introduced by initial capitals and which are not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as in the Partnership Agreement.

3.     Section 6 of the Partnership Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and amended to read as follows:

 

6.             References.  To the extent appropriate for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as well as for analogous state or local tax purposes), references in this Agreement to a person that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for such tax purposes shall be deemed to refer to such owner.
