ALTERNATE TRANSACTION. In the event that the Operating Partnership determines that a structure change is necessary, advisable or desirable, the Operating Partnership, may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to effect an Alternate Transaction, provided that the Requisite Consent would be sufficient to approve such Alternate Transaction. In such event, Contributor (i) hereby agrees and consents to such election without the need for the Operating Partnership to seek any further consent or action from Contributor or any Participant in Contributor and (ii) shall, and to the extent practicable, shall cause its Participants and, if applicable, its Subsidiaries to, enter into and perform any agreements as shall be necessary to consummate such Alternate Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Supervisor (on behalf of Contributor) may elect, in its sole discretion, to effect an actual or de facto recapitalization of the Contributor provided that such recapitalization does not change the consideration a Participant in Contributor would receive or the anticipated Tax consequences of the Consolidation Transaction to a Participant in Contributor.
