Common use of NEW EQUITY FINANCING RIGHTS Clause in Contracts

NEW EQUITY FINANCING RIGHTS. A. If the General Partner determines that it is in the best interests of the Partnership to obtain additional funds through the issuance of additional Partnership Interests, the General Partner shall first offer to the Limited Partners in each of the partnerships comprising the Operating Partnership, including the Partnership, the right of first refusal to purchase that portion of such additional Partnership Interests which their respective numbers of L.P. Units bear to the total number of outstanding L.P. Units in the Operating Partnership. The General Partner shall make this offer pursuant to a written notice describing the offering price, class or series of Partnership Interest, and all other material terms of the offer. Such notice shall be sent to each Limited Partner at the address reflected in Appendix I, as amended. The Limited Partners shall have 10 days from the date of such notice to elect to purchase any such additional Partnership Interests. Such election shall be made pursuant to a written subscription form specifying the number of Units of additional Limited Partnership Interests the Limited Partner intends to acquire and the total purchase price therefor, and shall be signed by the Limited Partner and delivered to the General Partner at the address set forth on Appendix I. After such 10-day period, the General Partner shall be free to offer any additional Limited Partnership Interests on substantially similar terms to non-Partners and Partners alike. B. The foregoing right of the Limited Partners to acquire additional equity interests offered by the Partnership ("New Equity Financing Right") shall not apply to any offering (i) which is part of a transaction in which the Limited Partners had the ability to exercise their New Equity Financing Rights under the Acquisition Agreement with respect to an offering of Equity Securities by the Company, (ii) in connection with a merger or other business combination subject to approval by the L.P. Unit Majority pursuant to Section 8.9, (iii) to a Person in connection with the acquisition of property or services by the Partnership from such Person, or (iv) of any Partnership Interest upon conversion of an outstanding Equity Security of the Partnership, any Partnership Subsidiary, or the Company.
