Effect of Conversion All shares of Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 5.2 and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.
Effect of Merger, Consolidation or Conversion (a) At the effective time of the merger:
(i) all of the rights, privileges and powers of each of the business entities that has merged or consolidated, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of those business entities and all other things and causes of action belonging to each of those business entities, shall be vested in the Surviving Business Entity and after the merger or consolidation shall be the property of the Surviving Business Entity to the extent they were of each constituent business entity;
(ii) the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in any of those constituent business entities shall not revert and is not in any way impaired because of the merger or consolidation;
(iii) all rights of creditors and all liens on or security interests in property of any of those constituent business entities shall be preserved unimpaired; and
(iv) all debts, liabilities and duties of those constituent business entities shall attach to the Surviving Business Entity and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if the debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it.
(b) At the effective time of the conversion:
(i) the Partnership shall continue to exist, without interruption, but in the organizational form of the converted entity rather than in its prior organizational form;
(ii) all rights, title, and interests to all real estate and other property owned by the Partnership shall continue to be owned by the converted entity in its new organizational form without reversion or impairment, without further act or deed, and without any transfer or assignment having occurred, but subject to any existing liens or other encumbrances thereon;
(iii) all liabilities and obligations of the Partnership shall continue to be liabilities and obligations of the converted entity in its new organizational form without impairment or diminution by reason of the conversion;
(iv) all rights of creditors or other parties with respect to or against the prior interest holders or other owners of the Partnership in their capacities as such in existence as of the effective time of the conversion will continue in existence as to those liabilities and obligations and may be pursued by such creditors and obligees as if the conversion did not occur;
(v) a proceeding pending by or against the Partnership or by or against any of Partners in their capacities as such may be continued by or against the converted entity in its new organizational form and by or against the prior Partners without any need for substitution of parties; and
(vi) the Partnership Interests that are to be converted into partnership interests, shares, evidences of ownership, or other securities in the converted entity as provided in the plan of conversion shall be so converted, and Partners shall be entitled only to the rights provided in the Plan of Conversion.
Certificate of Merger or Conversion Upon the required approval by the Manager of a Merger Agreement or a Plan of Conversion, as the case may be, a certificate of merger or certificate of conversion, as applicable, shall be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in conformity with the requirements of the Delaware Act.
Exchange in Lieu of Conversion (a) When a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Conversion Agent to deliver, on or prior to the Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, such Notes to one or more financial institutions designated by the Company (each, a “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the Designated Financial Institution(s) must agree to timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, the cash, shares of Common Stock or combination thereof that would otherwise be due upon conversion pursuant to Section 14.02 or such other amount agreed to by the Holder and the Designated Financial Institution(s) (the “Conversion Consideration”). If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company shall, by the close of business on the Trading Day following the relevant Conversion Date, notify in writing the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion that the Company has made the Exchange Election, and the Company shall promptly notify the Designated Financial Institution(s) of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration and the type of Conversion Consideration to be paid and/or delivered, as the case may be.
(b) Any Notes delivered to the Designated Financial Institution(s) shall remain outstanding, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary. If the Designated Financial Institution(s) agree(s) to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the related Conversion Consideration, or if such Designated Financial Institution(s) does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Company shall pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the relevant Conversion Consideration, as, and at the time, required pursuant to this Indenture as if the Company had not made the Exchange Election.
(c) The Company’s designation of any Designated Financial Institution(s) to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not require such Designated Financial Institution(s) to accept any Notes.

Mechanics and Effect of Conversion No fractional shares of the Company’s capital stock will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company will pay to the Holder in cash the amount of the unconverted principal and interest balance of this Note that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of the Company or any transfer agent of the Company. At its expense, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder, at such principal office, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such conversion, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as described herein. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with regard to that portion of the principal amount and accrued interest being converted, including without limitation the obligation to pay such portion of the principal amount and accrued interest.
Mechanics of Conversion (1) Before any holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Ordinary Shares such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor at the Office and shall give written notice to the Company of the election to convert the same (or any part thereof) and shall state therein the name or names of any nominee for such holder in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Ordinary Shares are to be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter unless such notice states that conversion is to be effective on any later date or when any conditions specified in the notice have been fulfilled in which case conversion shall take effect on such other date or when such conditions have been fulfilled, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Shares, or subject to the transfer restrictions contained in these Articles to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Ordinary Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Shares to be converted, or on any later date or when any conditions specified in the notice have been fulfilled and the person or persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with a QIPO, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Shares for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. In the event that the certificate(s) representing the Preferred Shares to be converted as aforesaid are not delivered to the Company, then the Company shall not be obligated to issue any certificate(s) representing the Ordinary Shares issued upon such conversion, unless the holder of such Preferred Shares notifies the Company in writing that such certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.
(2) A conversion of Preferred Shares pursuant to one of the events described in Article 9(a)(2) shall be deemed to have taken place automatically regardless of whether the certificates representing such shares have been tendered to the Company but from and after such conversion any such certificates not tendered to the Company shall be deemed to evidence solely the Ordinary Shares received upon such conversion and the right to receive a certificate for such Ordinary Shares.
Conversion of Company Shares As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any Company Share or Acquiror Share, each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (a) shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.2 and (b) Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive in cash from Acquiror, without interest, an amount equal to $16.00 (the "Merger Consideration").
Conversion of Company Securities At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the following securities:
(a) Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) and of each series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Preferred Stock” and, together with the Company Common Stock, the “Company Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Company Stock owned beneficially by the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary and other than Dissenting Shares (as defined below)), shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Section 1.6) such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the applicable “Conversion Ratio” specified with respect to such class or series on Schedule 1.5(a) hereto (the “Applicable Conversion Ratio”). An aggregate of 22,700,649 shares of Parent Common Stock (including Indemnification Escrow Shares (as defined below) and Dissenting Shares), subject to adjustment as necessary due to rounding as set forth in Section 1.5(b), shall be issuable to the stockholders of record of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Stockholders”) in connection with the Merger. The shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock are converted pursuant to this Section shall be referred to herein as the “Merger Shares.”
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the Closing Date, the Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive immediately only 98% of the shares of Parent Common Stock into which their shares of Company Stock were converted pursuant to Section 1.5(a) (the “Initial Shares”), pro rata in accordance with their respective holdings of Company Stock immediately prior to the Closing; and the remaining 2% of the shares of Parent Common Stock into which their shares of Company Stock were converted pursuant to Section 1.5(a), rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 shares rounded upward to the nearest whole number) (the “Indemnification Escrow Shares”), shall be deposited in escrow pursuant to the Indemnification Escrow Agreement and shall be held and released in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement.
(c) The Parent shall deliver certificates for the Initial Shares to each Company Stockholder entitled thereto who shall have presented a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Stock to be converted into Merger Shares pursuant to this Section 1.5 (the “Company Stock Certificates”) to the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or the Parent’s transfer agent.
(d) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Acquisition Subsidiary shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
