Preemptive Right The Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree or obligate itself to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, any (i) shares of Common Stock, (ii) any other equity security of the Company, including without limitation, Preferred Stock, (iii) any debt security of the Company (other than debt with no equity feature) including without limitation, any debt security which by its terms is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security of the Company, (iv) any security of the Company that is a combination of debt and equity, or (v) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any such equity security or any debt security of the Company specified in (i)-(iv) above, unless in each case the Company shall have first offered to sell a portion of such securities (the “Offered Securities”) to each Investor who holds at least 5% of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (each an “Offeree” and collectively, the “Offerees”) as follows: each Offeree shall have the right (but not an obligation) to purchase (x) up to that portion of the Offered Securities as the number of shares of capital stock then held by such Offeree (assuming for such purposes exercise, conversion and exchange of all outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities of the Company exercisable, convertible and/or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock) bears to the total number of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (assuming for such purposes exercise, conversion and exchange of all outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities of the Company exercisable, convertible and/or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock) (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) such additional portion of the Offered Securities as such Offeree shall indicate it will purchase should the other Offerees subscribe for less than their respective Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), at a price and on such other terms as shall have been specified by the Company in writing delivered to such Offeree (the “Offer”), which Offer by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of thirty (30) days from receipt thereof. The Offer shall disclose the identity of the proposed transferee, the Offered Securities proposed to be sold, and the terms and conditions (including price) of the proposed sale.
Preemptive Rights Prior to any issuance of Series A Parity Securities permitted under Section 5.11(b)(iii), the Partnership shall, by written notice to the Series A Preemptive Rights Holders (the “Notice of Issuance”), if any, offer to sell such Series A Parity Securities to the Series A Preemptive Rights Holders on terms and subject to conditions determined by the General Partner to be reasonable, which offer shall be made on a Pro Rata basis such that each Series A Preemptive Rights Holder shall be entitled to purchase a portion of such Series A Parity Securities equal to the quotient of (A) the number of Series A Preferred Units held by such Series A Preemptive Rights Holder on the date of the Notice of Issuance divided by (B) the aggregate number of Series A Preferred Units held by all Series A Preemptive Rights Holders on the date of the Notice of Issuance; provided, that the offer of such Series A Parity Securities shall not be on a basis less favorable to the Series A Preemptive Rights Holders than is offered to any purchaser thereof who is not a Series A Preemptive Rights Holder; provided, further that if any Series A Preemptive Rights Holder fails to provide written notice of its intent to exercise its right to purchase Series A Parity Securities within ten (10) Business Days of the Notice of Issuance, such Series A Preemptive Rights Holder shall be deemed to have waived any and all rights to purchase such Series A Parity Securities in such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Partnership be obligated to offer to sell Series A Parity Securities to the Series A Preemptive Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 5.11(b)(viii) in connection with any securities issued to the owners of another entity in connection with the acquisition of such entity by the Partnership by merger, consolidation, sale or exchange of securities, purchase of substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization whereby the Partnership acquires more than 50% of the voting power or assets of such entity.
Limited Preemptive Right Except as provided in this Section 5.9 and in Section 5.2, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to the issuance of any Partnership Security, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created. The General Partner shall have the right, which it may from time to time assign in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates, to purchase Partnership Securities from the Partnership whenever, and on the same terms that, the Partnership issues Partnership Securities to Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, to the extent necessary to maintain the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and its Affiliates equal to that which existed immediately prior to the issuance of such Partnership Securities.
Limited Preemptive Rights Except as provided in Section 5.3, no Person shall have preemptive, preferential or other similar rights with respect to (a) additional Capital Contributions; (b) issuance or sale of any class or series of Partnership Interests, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created; (c) issuance of any obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities of the Partnership convertible into or exchangeable for, or carrying or accompanied by any rights to receive, purchase or subscribe to, any such Partnership Interests; (d) issuance of any right of subscription to or right to receive, or any warrant or option for the purchase of, any such Partnership Interests; or (e) issuance or sale of any other securities that may be issued or sold by the Partnership.
Pre-Emptive Right Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof, in the event the Corporation wishes at any time to issue any Shares (except for the granting of options to employees not to exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation) it shall offer them for purchase by the Shareholders by notice given to each Shareholder. Such notice shall be given within 10 days of the approval of the Board of Directors of a proposal to issue Shares to raise funds and shall set forth a description of the Shares to be offered, the purchase price and the purchase date which shall be a date not earlier than twenty (20) days after the date of such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, each such Shareholder shall have the right to subscribe for and purchase a number of such Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Share offered by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares owned by such Shareholder at the date of such notice and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Conunon Shares outstanding as at the date of such notice. Such right shall be exercised by the Shareholder by giving notice of acceptance to the Corporation within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the notice from the Corporation. In the event that the Shareholder does exercise such right it shall subscribe, purchase and pay for such Shares on the purchase date set forth in the notice of the Corporation. If all the Shareholders do not subscribe for their respective proportions, the unsubscribed Shares shall be used to satisfy the subscriptions of such Shareholders for Shares in excess of their proportion and, ~ 11 ~ if the subscriptions in excess are more than sufficient to exhaust such unsubscribed Shares, the unsubscribed Shares shall be divided pro rata among the Shareholders desiring Shares as nearly as may be in proportion to the number of Common Shares held by them respectively at the date of such notice, but no Shareholder shall be bound to take any such Shares in excess of the amount it desires. It shall be a condition to the issuance of any new shares that the new Shareholder become party to this Agreement or, if agreed by the Board, another shareholder or share restriction agreement approved by the Board. ~ 12 ~
Pre-emptive Rights (a) Subject to Section 6(b) below, if the Company proposes to issue any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents, in each case after the date of this Agreement, the Company will offer to sell to each Stockholder a number of such securities ("Offered Shares") so that the Ownership Ratio for such holder immediately after the issuance of such securities (and assuming the purchase of such Offered Shares) would be equal to the Ownership Ratio for such holder immediately prior to such issuance of securities. The Company shall give each such holder at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of any proposed issuance, which notice shall disclose in reasonable detail the proposed terms and conditions of such issuance (the "Issuance Notice"). Each such Stockholder will be entitled to purchase such securities at the same price, on the same terms (including, if more than one type of security is issued, the same proportionate mix of such securities), and at the same time as the securities are issued by delivery of irrevocable written notice (the "Election Notice") to the Company of such election within ten (10) days after delivery of the Issuance Notice (the "Preemptive Period"). If any such Stockholder has elected to purchase any Offered Shares, the sale of such shares shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the Election Notice. To the extent such Stockholders do not elect to, or are not entitled to purchase all of the Offered Shares, then the Company may issue the remaining Offered Shares at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof specified in the Issuance Notice during the 120-day period following the Preemptive Period.
No Preemptive Rights Except to the extent expressly granted by the Partnership pursuant to another agreement, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to (i) additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership or (ii) issuance or sale of any Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests.
No Preemptive Rights, Registration Rights or Options Except as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no (i) preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any equity interests in the Partnership Entities or (ii) outstanding options or warrants to purchase any securities of the Partnership Entities. Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Units as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights for or relating to the registration of any Common Units or other securities of the Partnership.
Put Right At any time after November 15, 2009 and prior to November 15, 2013, any Partner who has held Units for at least three years (the “Put Partner”) shall have the right to request that the Partnership redeem all of such Units. Such request shall be made in writing, state a requested date for the redemption (the “Requested Redemption Date”) and be delivered to the General Partner at least 60 calendar days in advance of the Requested Redemption Date. The General Partner shall determine whether the Partnership has sufficient funds to grant the request, which determination shall be made prior to the Requested Redemption Date in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are available, the request shall be granted, and the Partnership shall transfer and deliver to the Put Partner no sooner than the Requested Redemption Date, but no later than 60 calendar days thereafter, 92% of the Unreturned Invested Capital of the Put Partner with respect to the redeemed Units determined as of the Requested Redemption Date; provided that the sum of the percentage interests in Partnership capital or profits transferred during the taxable year of the Partnership does not exceed 9% of the total interests in partnership capital or profits as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time during any 12-month period may the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period unless such redemption is otherwise deemed to be a disregarded transfer for purposes of determining whether the Partnership is a publicly traded partnership pursuant to Regulations Section 1.7704-1 as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are not available, or if the requested redemption would cause the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership to exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period, the Partnership shall either (i) decline to perform the requested redemption or (ii) perform the requested redemption solely to the extent such redemption does not violate the provisions of Section 9.3 or this Section 9.4, to be decided in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Each Put Partner covenants and agrees with the Partnership and the General Partner that all Units delivered in connection with the exercise of the put right under this Section 9.4 shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, respectively, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall be under any obligation to acquire any Put Partner’s Units, (1) to the extent that any such Units are subject to any liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or (2) in the event that any such Put Partner shall fail to give the General Partner adequate assurances that such Units are not subject to any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or shall fail to agree to fully indemnify the General Partner from any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind as well as any costs and expenses relating to the Put Partner’s Units or the exercise of the put right. Each Put Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Units to the Partnership or General Partner, respectively, each such Put Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.
