Common Units The capital structure of the Company shall consist of one class of common interests (the "Common Units"). The Company shall have authority to issue one thousand (1,000) Common Units. Each Common Unit shall have one vote and shall otherwise be identical with each other Common Unit in every respect.
Class B Units Class B Unitholders shall not be entitled to vote in any matters relating to the Company, unless otherwise reserved to the Members by the Act. In addition to the other rights and obligations of Class B Unitholders hereunder, Class B Units shall entitle the holder of such Class B Units to (i) Tax Distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b), and (ii) a preferred return equal to the Class B Preferred Return Amount. The Class B Preferred Return Amount shall not be required to be paid annually but shall accrue and become payable at the earlier of (x) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Time, or (y) a liquidation of, or a taxable sale of substantially all of the assets of, the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event referenced in clause (y) above, each Class B Unitholder shall also be paid such Class B Unitholder’s Class B Preferred Return Base Amount, in addition to all of the outstanding, accrued and unpaid Class B Preferred Return Amount. On the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Time, each Class B Unitholder may, at its option and in accordance with the notice and other procedural provisions set forth in Section 11.01(a) (the “7 Year Put Option”), sell all (but not less than all) of its Class B Units to the Company for an amount equal to such Class B Unitholder’s Class B Preferred Return Base Amount plus any outstanding and accrued Class B Preferred Return Amount of such Class B Unitholder (the “Class B Option Consideration”) and, upon the exercise of the 7 Year Put Option by any Class B Unitholder, the Company shall purchase all of such holder’s Class B Units for the Class B Option Consideration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Class B Preferred Return Amount shall be due and payable with respect to such Class B Units pursuant this Section 3.02(b) at such time or times specified in this Section 3.02(b) unless such Class B Units remain issued and outstanding at such time or times and no Redemption or Direct Exchange of such Class B Units described in Article XI hereof has occurred.
Partnership Units Each Partner shall own Partnership Units in the amounts set forth for such Partner in Exhibit A and shall have a Percentage Interest in the Partnership as set forth in Exhibit A, which Percentage Interest shall be adjusted in Exhibit A from time to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately redemptions, additional Capital Contributions, the issuance of additional Partnership Units or similar events having an effect on the number of Partnership Units held by, and the Percentage Interest of, any Partner. Each Partnership Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters on which the Partners (or any portion of the Partners) are entitled to vote under this Agreement.
Class A Units If a Warrantholder exercises Warrants in connection with a tender offer for settlement prior to the First Regular Call Date, each Class A Unit called in connection with such exercise shall receive, in addition to principal and accrued interest, $1.50 per Class A Unit from the proceeds of the Warrant exercise. Class B Payments: If a Warrantholder exercises Warrants, then the Class B Units designated to be called in connection with such exercise shall receive the corresponding portion of the Class B Present Value Amount, adjusted for accrued Class B Payments on the Class B Units otherwise paid. If the Underlying Security Issuer redeems Underlying Securities and the previous paragraph does not apply, then the Class B Units designated for a redemption in connection with such redemption of Underlying Securities shall receive the amount with respect to the Class B Present Value Amount allocated for distribution in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Distribution Priorities below, paid as of the date of such redemption as an additional distribution.
Preferred Units Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of Section 14.3 are not applicable to Preferred Units or the holders of Preferred Units. Holders of Preferred Units shall have no voting, approval or consent rights under this Article XIV. Voting, approval and consent rights of holders of Preferred Units shall be solely as provided for and set forth in Article XVI.
Units Interests in the Partnership shall be represented by Units. The Units initially are comprised of one Class: Class A Units. The General Partner may establish, from time to time in accordance with such procedures as the General Partner shall determine from time to time, other Classes, one or more series of any such Classes, or other Partnership securities with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing Classes and series of Units or other Partnership securities), as shall be determined by the General Partner, including (i) the right to share in Profits and Losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may or shall be required to redeem the Units or other Partnership securities (including sinking fund provisions); (v) whether such Unit or other Partnership security is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Unit or other Partnership security will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Total Percentage Interest as to such Units or other Partnership securities; and (viii) the right, if any, of the holder of each such Unit or other Partnership security to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such Units or other Partnership securities. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to “Units” shall include the Class A Units and any other Classes that may be established in accordance with this Agreement. All Units of a particular Class shall have identical rights in all respects as all other Units of such Class, except in each case as otherwise specified in this Agreement.
Ltip Units (a) The General Partner may from time to time issue LTIP Units to Persons who provide services to the Partnership, for such consideration as the General Partner may determine to be appropriate, and admit such Persons as Limited Partners. Subject to the following provisions of this Section and the special provisions of Sections 4.5, 5.1(e), and 8.6, LTIP Units shall be treated as Limited Partnership Units, with all of the rights, privileges and obligations attendant thereto. For purposes of computing the Partners’ Percentage Interests, LTIP Units shall be treated as Common Units.
(b) The Partnership shall maintain at all times a one-to-one correspondence between LTIP Units and Limited Partnership Units for conversion, distribution and other purposes, including without limitation complying with the following procedures: If an Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain a one-for-one conversion and economic equivalence ratio between Limited Partnership Units and LTIP Units. The following shall be “Adjustment Events:”
Membership Units The Company is initially organized with One (1) class of Membership Interests, designated in Units, which Units are initially the only class of equity in the Company. The Units shall have no par value and shall be of a single class with identical rights. The Company shall have a first lien on the Units of any Member for any debt or liability owed by such Member to the Company. Additional and different classes of Membership Interests represented by different Units may be created and issued to new or existing Members on such terms and conditions as the Governors may determine. Such additional and different classes may have different rights, powers and preferences (including, without limitation, voting rights and distribution preferences), which may be superior to those of existing Members. Members shall have no preemptive rights to acquire additional or newly created Units.
OP Units Any portion of the Consideration payable hereunder in the form of common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) shall be registered in the name of Contributor. OP Units will not be delivered to Contributor unless Section 2.2(j) hereof is true and correct as of the Closing Date. No fractional OP Units will be issued and OP Units will be rounded to the nearest whole number. The Consideration payable to Contributor, whether in cash, in OP Units or a combination thereof, may be reduced by the amount the Operating Partnership reasonably determines must be withheld for tax purposes. The rights and obligations of holders of OP Units as of the Closing will be as set forth in the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Amendment No. 1 to the REIT’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-231677), which the REIT filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 31, 2019 (the “IPO Registration Statement”). Although initially the OP Units will not be certificated and the Operating Partnership does not currently expect the OP Units will ever be certificated, any certificates, subsequently issued evidencing the OP Units will bear appropriate legends (i) indicating that the issuance of the OP Units has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) and that the OP Units may not be transferred absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements, (ii) indicating that the Partnership Agreement will restrict the transfer of the OP Units and (iii) describing the ownership limitations and transfer restrictions imposed by the charter of the REIT with respect to shares of the REIT’s capital stock.
Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Company or to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company.
