No Voting Rights; Temporary Withholding of Distributions. If on any date (including any record date) the number of Units that is Owned by Non-U.S. Citizens is in excess of the Permitted Percentage (such Units herein referred to as the “Excess Units”), the General Partner shall determine those Units Owned by Non-U.S. Citizens that constitute such Excess Units. The determination of those Units that constitute Excess Units shall be made by reference to the date or dates Units were acquired by Non-U.S. Citizens, starting with the most recent acquisition of Units by a Non-U.S. Citizen and including, in reverse chronological order of acquisition, all other acquisitions of Units by Non-U.S. Citizens from and after the acquisition of those Units by a Non-U.S. Citizen that first caused the Permitted Percentage to be exceeded. The determination of the General Partner as to those Units that constitute the Excess Units shall be conclusive. Units deemed to constitute such Excess Units shall (so long as such excess exists) not be accorded any voting rights and shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of determining the vote required on any matter properly brought before the Unitholders of the Partnership for a vote thereon. The Partnership shall (so long as such excess exists) withhold the payment of regular distributions, if any, and the sharing in any other distribution (upon liquidation or otherwise) in respect of the Excess Units. At such time as the Permitted Percentage is no longer exceeded, full voting rights shall be restored to any Units previously deemed to be Excess Units and any distribution with respect thereto that has been withheld shall be due and paid solely to the Record Holders of such Units at the time the Permitted Percentage is no longer exceeded.
