DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER DISSOLUTION Upon dissolution, the Company must pay its debts before distributing cash, assets, or capital to the Member or the Member’s interests. The Member agrees that any distributions occurring after the dissolution of the Company will follow the process outlined in this Agreement and Section 00-00-000 of the Act.
Distributions in Liquidation Following the dissolution of the Company and the commencement of winding up and the liquidation of its assets, distributions to the Members shall be governed by Section 12.2.
Winding Up, Liquidation and Distribution of Assets (a) Upon dissolution of the Company, no further business shall be conducted except for the taking of such action as shall be necessary for the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution of its assets to the Members pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.04.
(b) Upon dissolution of the Company, an accounting shall be made by the Company’s accountants of the accounts of the Company and of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations, from the date of the last previous accounting until the date of dissolution. The Manager(s), or if none, the Person or Persons selected by Majority Interest of the Members (the “Liquidators”) shall immediately proceed to wind up the affairs of the Company. The Liquidators shall have full authority to wind up the affairs of the Company and to make distributions as provided herein.
(c) Upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidators shall either sell the assets of the Company at the best price available, or the Liquidators may distribute to the Members all or any portion of the Company’s assets in kind. If any assets are to be distributed in kind, the Liquidators shall ascertain the fair market value (by appraisal or other reasonable means) of such assets, and each Member’s Capital Account shall be charged or credited, as the case may be, as if such asset had been sold for cash at such fair market value and the net gain or net loss recognized thereby had been allocated to and among the Members in accordance with Article IX above.
(d) All assets of the Company shall be applied and distributed by the Liquidators in the following order:
(i) First, to the creditors of the Company;
(ii) Next, to setting up the reserves that the Liquidators may deem reasonably necessary for contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company;
(iii) Finally, in accordance with the positive balance (if any) in each Member’s Capital Account (as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Company’s Fiscal Year during which the liquidation occurs), with any balance in excess thereof being distributed in proportion to the Members’ respective Ownership Percentages. Any such distributions in respect to Capital Accounts shall, to the extent practicable, be made in accordance with the time requirements set forth in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Operating Agreement, upon a “liquidation” within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Regulations, if any Member has a deficit Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, allocations and other Capital Account adjustments for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any Capital Contribution, and the negative balance of such Member’s Capital Account shall not be considered a debt owed by such Member to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.
Dissolution Winding Up (a) The Company shall be dissolved upon: (i) the adoption of a plan of dissolution by the Sole Member or (ii) the occurrence of any event required to cause the dissolution of the Company under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.
(b) Any dissolution of the Company shall be effective as of the date on which the event occurs giving rise to such dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate unless and until all its affairs have been wound up and its assets distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.
(c) Upon dissolution of the Company, the Company shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its business and affairs as soon as reasonably practicable. Promptly after the dissolution of the Company, the Sole Member shall designate one or more persons (the “Liquidating Trustees”) to accomplish the winding up of the business and affairs of the Company. Upon their designation, the Liquidating Trustees shall immediately commence to wind up the affairs of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. In winding up the business and affairs of the Company, the Liquidating Trustees may take any and all lawful actions that they determine in their sole discretion to be in the best interests of the Sole Member, including, but not limited to, any actions relating to: (i) causing written notice by registered or certified mail of the Company’s intention to dissolve to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company; (ii) the payment, settlement or compromise of existing claims against the Company; (iii) the making of reasonable provisions for payment of contingent claims against the Company; and (iv) the sale or disposition of the properties and assets of the Company. It is expressly understood and agreed that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the satisfaction of claims against the Company so as to enable the Liquidating Trustees to minimize the losses that may result from a liquidation.
Distributions Upon Liquidation Notwithstanding Section 5.1, proceeds from a Liquidating Event shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 13.2.
Distributions Upon Dissolution Upon the dissolution of the Company, the properties of the Company to be sold shall be liquidated in orderly fashion and the proceeds thereof, and the property to be distributed in kind, shall be distributed as follows:
(a) First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities, to the necessary expenses of liquidation and to the establishment of any cash reserves which the Member determines to create for unmatured and/or contingent liabilities or obligations of the Company.
(b) Second, to the Member.
Distribution of Proceeds In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;
(b) Second, to all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Insolvency Law) in such order or preference as the Majority Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2, (iii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13, and (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause (iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses and Hedge Obligations (but excluding the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders and Lender Hedge Providers, pro rata, and as between the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans pro rata; and provided, further that the Majority Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and
(c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
Dissolution and Liquidation (Check One)
Distribution upon Dissolution Upon dissolution, the Partnership shall not be terminated and shall continue until the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership is completed. Upon the winding up of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any other Person designated by the General Partner (the “Liquidation Agent”), shall take full account of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership and shall, unless the General Partner determines otherwise, liquidate the assets of the Partnership as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof. The proceeds of any liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following order:
(a) First, to the satisfaction of debts and liabilities of the Partnership (including satisfaction of all indebtedness to Partners and/or their Affiliates to the extent otherwise permitted by law) including the expenses of liquidation, and including the establishment of any reserve which the Liquidation Agent shall deem reasonably necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual liabilities or obligations of the Partnership (“Contingencies”). Any such reserve may be paid over by the Liquidation Agent to any attorney-at-law, or acceptable party, as escrow agent, to be held for disbursement in payment of any Contingencies and, at the expiration of such period as shall be deemed advisable by the Liquidation Agent for distribution of the balance in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 9.03; and
(b) The balance, if any, to the Partners, pro rata to each of the Partners in accordance with their Total Percentage Interests.
Distribution of Cash (a) Subject to Sections 5.02(c), (d) and (e), the Partnership shall distribute cash at such times and in such amounts as are determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter (or other distribution period) in proportion with their respective Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date.
(b) In accordance with Section 4.04(a)(ii), the LTIP Unitholders shall be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per LTIP Unit equal to the Common Partnership Unit Distribution.
(c) If a new or existing Partner acquires additional Partnership Units in exchange for a Capital Contribution on any date other than a Partnership Record Date, the cash distribution attributable to such additional Partnership Units relating to the Partnership Record Date next following the issuance of such additional Partnership Units shall be reduced in the proportion to (i) the number of days that such additional Partnership Units are held by such Partner bears to (ii) the number of days between such Partnership Record Date and the immediately preceding Partnership Record Date.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code. To the extent that the Partnership is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to a Partner or assignee (including by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), either (i) if the actual amount to be distributed to the Partner (the “Distributable Amount”) equals or exceeds the Withheld Amount, the entire Distributable Amount shall be treated as a distribution of cash to such Partner, or (ii) if the Distributable Amount is less than the Withheld Amount, the excess of the Withheld Amount over the Distributable Amount shall be treated as a Partnership Loan from the Partnership to the Partner on the day the Partnership pays over such amount to a taxing authority. A Partnership Loan shall be repaid upon the demand of the Partnership or, alternatively, through withholding by the Partnership with respect to subsequent distributions to the applicable Partner or assignee. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amount owed to the Partnership with respect to the Partnership Loan within 15 days after demand for payment thereof is made by the Partnership on the Limited Partner, the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such Defaulting Limited Partner. In such event, on the date of payment, the General Partner shall be deemed to have extended a General Partner Loan to the Defaulting Limited Partner in the amount of the payment made by the General Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership against the Defaulting Limited Partner as to that amount. Without limitation, the General Partner shall have the right to receive any distributions that otherwise would be made by the Partnership to the Defaulting Limited Partner until such time as the General Partner Loan has been paid in full, and any such distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been received by the Defaulting Limited Partner and immediately paid to the General Partner. Any amounts treated as a Partnership Loan or a General Partner Loan pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) 300 basis points above the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, or (ii) the maximum lawful rate of interest on such obligation, such interest to accrue from the date the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, is deemed to extend the loan until such loan is repaid in full.
(e) In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of cash with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a cash dividend as the holder of record of a REIT Common Share for which all or part of such Partnership Unit has been or will be redeemed.
