Upon completion of the repurchase of any Tendered Class A Shares in accordance with this subsection C(3)(a), the Tendering Class A Shareholder shall have no further right, with respect to any Tendered Class A Shares so repurchased, to receive any dividends on Class A Shares with a Record Date on or after the Specified Exchange Date applicable to such Tendered Class A Shares. Any Exchange Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered to the Corporation by or on behalf of the Tendering Class A Shareholder. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a Notice of Exchange, the Corporation shall promptly, and, in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof, deliver to each of BAM, BPY and BPI a written notification of the Corporation’s receipt of such Notice of Exchange setting forth the identity of the Tendering Class A Shareholder and the number of Tendered Class A Shares. The Corporation shall pay to the Tendering Class A Shareholder, in accordance with instructions set forth in the Notice of Exchange to the Tendering Class A Shareholder, at or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Specified Exchange Date, the Cash Amount with respect to each Tendered Class A Share, but only out of funds legally available therefor, subject to the terms and conditions of subsection C(3)(b).
Exchange Right (a) Subject to Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 hereof, and subject to any limitations under applicable law, the Operating Partnership hereby grants to each Limited Partner and each Limited Partner hereby accepts the right (the “Exchange Right”), exercisable (i) on or after the date that is one (1) year after the closing of the Offering or (ii) upon the liquidation of the Operating Partnership or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Operating Partnership, to exchange on a Specified Exchange Date all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner at an exchange price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount.
(b) The Exchange Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered to the Operating Partnership, with a copy delivered to the Company, by the Limited Partner who is exercising the Exchange Right (the “Exchanging Partner”); provided, however, that the Company, on behalf of the Operating Partnership, may elect, after a Notice of Exchange is delivered, to satisfy the Exchange Right which is the subject of such notice in accordance with Section 2.2.
(c) A Limited Partner may exercise the Exchange Right from time to time with respect to part or all of the Partnership Units that it owns, as selected by the Limited Partner, provided that, except as provided in the Agreement, a Limited Partner may not exercise the Exchange Right for less than one thousand (1,000) Partnership Units unless such Limited Partner then holds less than one thousand (1,000) Partnership Units, in which event the Limited Partner must exercise the Exchange Right for all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner.
(d) An Exchanging Partner shall have no right with respect to any Partnership Units so exchanged to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Exchange Date with respect to such Partnership Units.
(e) Any Assignee of a Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Article 2, and such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have assigned such rights to such Assignee and shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by such Assignee.
(f) In connection with any exercise of such rights by an Assignee on behalf of a Limited Partner, the Cash Amount or the REIT Stock Amount, as the case may be, shall be satisfied by the Operating Partnership or the Company, as the case may be, directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.
