Preferential Purchase Rights No later than 5 Business Days after the Execution Date, Seller shall prepare and send notices to the holders of any preferential rights to purchase any part of the Assets that would be triggered by the transfer of the Assets by Seller to Buyer, all of which preferential rights are described in Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedule. If Buyer discovers other preferential rights to purchase any part of the Assets that would be triggered by the transfer of the Assets by Seller to Buyer (other than preferential rights that are described in Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedule) during the course of Buyer’s Due Diligence Review, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of such preferential rights and Seller shall prepare and send notices to the holders of any such preferential rights no later than 5 Business Days after Buyer notifies Seller of such preferential rights. If after the Execution Date Seller discovers other preferential rights to purchase any part of the Assets that would be triggered by the transfer of the Assets by Seller to Buyer (other than preferential rights that are described in Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedule), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of such preferential rights and Seller shall prepare and send notices to the holders of any such preferential rights no later than 5 Business Days after Seller notifies Buyer of such preferential rights. If, prior to Closing, any of such Persons asserting a preferential purchase right notifies Seller that it intends to consummate the purchase of that portion of the Assets to which it holds a preferential purchase right pursuant to the terms and conditions of such notice and this Agreement, then such Assets shall be excluded from the Assets identified in this Agreement and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Values of such Assets; provided that if the holder of such preferential right fails to consummate the purchase of such Assets prior to the Closing Date, then Seller shall notify Buyer, and Seller shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, the Assets to which the preferential purchase right was asserted for the Allocated Values of such Assets. All Assets for which a preferential purchase right is outstanding but has not been asserted prior to Closing, or with respect to which closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date following the assertion of a preferential purchase right shall be sold to Buyer at Closing pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. If one or more of the holders of any preferential purchase rights validly notifies Seller subsequent to Closing that it intends to assert its preferential purchase right, Seller shall immediately give notice thereof to Buyer, whereupon Buyer shall perform all valid preferential purchase right obligations of Seller to such holders and Buyer shall be entitled to receive (and Seller hereby assigns to Buyer all of Seller’s rights to) all proceeds received from such holders in connection with such preferential purchase rights. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from any claim by the holder of a preferential right with respect to the allocation of the Base Purchase Price among the Assets, including the Asset(s) subject to such preferential right.
No Registration Rights to Third Parties Without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Section 2, or otherwise) relating to any securities of the Company which are senior to, or on a parity with, those granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities.
Preferential Rights to Purchase Sellers shall use all reasonable efforts to comply with all preferential right to purchase provisions encumbering any Asset prior to the Closing, if any. Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall notify Buyer of the existence of any unrecorded preferential purchase rights and if any preferential purchase rights are exercised or if the requisite period has elapsed without said rights having been exercised. If a third party who has been offered an interest in any Asset pursuant to a preferential right to purchase elects prior to the Closing to purchase such Asset pursuant to the aforesaid offer, the interest so affected will be eliminated from the Assets and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Asset. Otherwise, the interest offered as aforesaid shall be conveyed to Buyer at the Closing subject to any preferential right to purchase of any third party for which notice has been given but the time period for response by the holder of such preferential right extends beyond the Closing and Buyer shall assume all duties, obligations and liabilities arising from such preferential right to purchase. Without limiting the foregoing, if any such third party timely and properly elects to purchase an interest in any Asset subject to a preferential right to purchase after the Closing Date, Buyer shall be obligated to convey said interest to such third party and shall be entitled to the consideration for the sale of such interest.
NO ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS The rights under this Agreement shall not be assignable.
Transfers to Permitted Transferees Prior to the transfer of Units to a Permitted Transferee (other than a transfer in connection with or subsequent to a Sale of the Company), the Executive shall deliver to Investors a written agreement of the proposed transferee (a) evidencing such Person's undertaking to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and (b) acknowledging that the Units transferred to such Person will continue to be Units for purposes of this Agreement in the hands of such Person. Any transfer or attempted transfer of Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement or the Securityholders Agreement shall be void, and Investors shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Units as the owner of such Units for any purpose.
Conditions to Permitted Transfers A Transfer shall not be treated as a Permitted Transfer under Section 10.2 hereof unless and until the following conditions are satisfied:
Limited Partners Rights to Transfer (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d), 11.3(e), 11.4 and 11.6, a Limited Partner may, without the consent of the General Partner, Transfer all or any portion of its Limited Partner Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s economic right as a Limited Partner. In order to effect such transfer, the Limited Partner must deliver to the General Partner a duly executed copy of the instrument making such transfer and such instrument must evidence the written acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and represent that such assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Subsequent Registration Rights Until the Initial Registration Statement required hereunder is declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person without the written consent of Holders representing no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities; provided, that this Section 7(c) shall not prohibit the Company from fulfilling its obligations under any other registration rights agreements existing as of the date hereof.
Exception for Permitted Transfers The conditions of Sections 11.3.A(1) through 11.3.A(4) hereof shall not apply in the case of a Permitted Transfer. It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (whether or not such Transfer is effected during or after the first Fourteen-Month Period) that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Partnership Interest, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any restrictions on ownership and transfer of stock of the General Partner contained in the Charter that may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise its Redemption rights, including, without limitation, the Ownership Limit. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 hereof.
Certain Permitted Transfers The restrictions in this Section 4 will not apply with respect to any Transfer of Carried Shares made (i) pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or to such Person’s legal guardian in the case of any mental incapacity or among such Person’s Family Group, (ii) in connection with the Company’s initial Public Offering of the Common Shares upon the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional Common Shares to the extent set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-120444) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2004, as amended, or (iii) at such time as the Investors sell Common Shares to any unaffiliated third party, but in the case of this clause (iii) only an amount of shares (the “Transfer Amount”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Vested Shares owned by Executive and (B) the number of Common Shares owned by Executive multiplied by a fraction (the “Transfer Fraction”), the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares sold by the Investors in such sale and the denominator of which is the total number of Common Shares held by the Investors prior to the sale; provided that, if at the time of such sale of Common Shares by the Investors, Executive chooses not to Transfer the Transfer Amount, Executive shall retain the right to Transfer an amount of Common Shares at a future date equal to the lesser of (x) the number of Vested Shares owned by Executive at such future date and (y) the number of Common Shares owned by Executive at such future date multiplied by the Transfer Fraction; provided further that the restrictions contained in this Section 4 will continue to be applicable to the Carried Shares after any Transfer of the type referred to in clause (i) above and the transferees of such Carried Shares must agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Any transferee of Carried Shares pursuant to a Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b)(i) is herein referred to as a “Permitted Transferee.” Upon the Transfer of Carried Shares pursuant to this Section 4(b), the transferring holder of Carried Shares will deliver a written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) to the Company. In the case of a Transfer pursuant to clause (i) hereof, the Transfer Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the Permitted Transferee(s).
