FIRPTA CERTIFICATE FOR ENTITIES


Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue 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), 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 transfer of a U.S. real property interest by COSMOS PROPERTIES, LP to the transferee, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of ________________________________________:

1)           COSMOS PROPERTIES, LP 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);

2)           COSMOS PROPERTIES, LP is not a disregarded entity as defined in Reg. §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

3)           The U.S. employer identification number of COSMOS PROPERTIES, LP is __________; and

4)           The office address of COSMOS PROPERTIES, LP is  _______________________________________________________________.

The undersigned understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the 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, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of ________________________________________.

Re:
Judgment in the Approximate Amount of $_____________ , Pursuant to Case No. 2011-04805-JD, Court of Common Pleas, Chester County, Pennsylvania (the “Judgment”) Against Cosmos Properties, LP (“Cosmos”) in Favor of Susquehanna Bank (the “Bank”)

Dear Mr. Lymberis:

The Bank agrees to accept $_____________  (the “Payoff Amount”) in full satisfaction of the Judgment, pursuant to the following terms.

The Bank recognizes that Cosmos is currently negotiating, and intends to enter into, an Agreement for Sale and Purchase (“Real Estate Agreement”) with Self Storage Group I, LLC (“SSG I”) for the sale and purchase of certain real property with improvements located at 21 Aim Boulevard, Sadsburyville, Pennsylvania (the “Sadsburyville Property”).  In consideration of the Payoff Amount and the benefit to the Bank of the sale of the Sadsburyville Property by Cosmos to SSG I, the Bank shall forbear from commencing or continuing any further action respecting the Sadsburyville Property during the term of the Real Estate Agreement.  The Bank acknowledges that SSG I relies on the terms of this letter as an inducement to enter into the Real Estate Agreement.

It is understood by the Bank that, on or before the closing date under the Real Estate Agreement, Cosmos shall deliver the entire Payoff Amount to the Bank.  Upon receipt of the Payoff Amount, the Bank shall unconditionally release the Sadsburyville Property from the lien of the Judgment and record a release with the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in and for Chester County, Pennsylvania.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Bank (and the Bank’s affiliates, successors and assigns) shall not commence any action against, or seek any damages from, SSG I or any principal, member or affiliate of SSG I (including, without limitation, Global Income Fund, Inc.) in connection with the Judgment or the Sadsburyville Property.
