Transfer Generally (a) The term “transfer,” when used in this Agreement with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction (i) by which the General Partner assigns its General Partner Interest to another Person or by which a holder of Incentive Distribution Rights assigns its Incentive Distribution Rights to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise or (ii) by which the holder of a Limited Partner Interest (other than an Incentive Distribution Right) assigns such Limited Partner Interest to another Person who is or becomes a Limited Partner, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise, including any transfer upon foreclosure of any pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage.
(b) No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article IV. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article IV shall be null and void.
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent a disposition by any stockholder, member, partner or other owner of the General Partner of any or all of the shares of stock, membership interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests in the General Partner.
Management Generally The management of the Company shall be vested exclusively in the Managing Member. Except as authorized by the Managing Member, or as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Non-Managing Members shall have no part in the management of the Company, and shall have no authority or right to act on behalf of the Company in connection with any matter. The Managing Member, and any Affiliate of the Managing Member, may engage in any other business venture, whether or not such business is similar to the business of the Company, and neither the Company nor any Non-Managing Member shall have any rights in or to such ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom.
Additional Partnership Interests If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests in accordance with Section 4.2 or 4.3, the distribution priorities set forth in Section 5.1 shall be amended, as necessary, to reflect the distribution priority of such Partnership Interests and corresponding amendments shall be made to the provisions of Exhibit B.
Right to Acquire Limited Partner Interests (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the General Partner and its Affiliates hold more than 80% of the total Limited Partner Interests of any class then Outstanding, the General Partner shall then have the right, which right it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to the Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner, exercisable at its option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Limited Partner Interests of such class then Outstanding held by Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, at the greater of (x) the Current Market Price as of the date three days prior to the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed and (y) the highest price paid by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates for any such Limited Partner Interest of such class purchased during the 90-day period preceding the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed. As used in this Agreement, (i) “Current Market Price” as of any date of any class of Limited Partner Interests means the average of the daily Closing Prices (as hereinafter defined) per Limited Partner Interest of such class for the 20 consecutive Trading Days (as hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date; (ii) “Closing Price” for any day means the last sale price on such day, regular way, or in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day, regular way, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal National Securities Exchange (other than the Nasdaq Stock Market) on which such Limited Partner Interests are listed or admitted to trading or, if such Limited Partner Interests of such class are not listed or admitted to trading on any National Securities Exchange (other than the Nasdaq Stock Market), the last quoted price on such day or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market or such other system then in use, or, if on any such day such Limited Partner Interests of such class are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such Limited Partner Interests of such class selected by the General Partner, or if on any such day no market maker is making a market in such Limited Partner Interests of such class, the fair value of such Limited Partner Interests on such day as determined by the General Partner; and (iii) “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests of any class are listed or admitted for trading is open for the transaction of business or, if Limited Partner Interests of a class are not listed or admitted for trading on any National Securities Exchange, a day on which banking institutions in New York City generally are open.
Transfers Generally Landlord may sell, assign, transfer or convey, without Tenant’s consent, the entire Leased Property with respect to all of the Facilities hereunder or the entire Leased Property with respect to any individual Facility, in each case, in whole (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) but not in part (unless in part due to a transaction in which multiple Affiliates of a single Person (collectively, “Affiliated Persons”) will own the applicable Leased Property as tenants in common, but only if all such Affiliated Persons execute a joinder to either this Lease or the applicable Severance Lease, as applicable, as “Landlord”, on a joint and several basis, the form and substance of which joinder shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord) to a single transferee (or multiple Affiliated Persons, as applicable) (such transferee, such tenants in common or any other permitted transferee of this Lease, in each case, an “Acquirer”) and, in connection with such transaction, (a) if the subject transaction involves a sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of the entire Leased Property, this Lease shall be assigned to the applicable Acquirer such that the Acquirer shall become successor Landlord as if an original party to this Lease, and (b) if the subject transaction involves a sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of the Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility (or, if at any time additional Facilities (other than the CPLV Facility and the HLV Facility) shall be included in this Lease, with respect to several Facilities but not all Facilities), (except as provided in the third (3rd) sentence of this Section 18.1) (A) this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Facility(ies) not transferred to the Acquirer, and (B) a Severance Lease (and a Severance Guaranty), with the applicable Acquirer, shall be entered into with respect to the transferred Facility(ies) as described in Section 18.2 below. If Landlord (including any permitted successor Landlord) shall convey the entire Leased Property or the entire Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility (or Facilities, as applicable) (subject, in each case, to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) in accordance with the terms of this Lease, other than as security for a debt, and the applicable Acquirer expressly assumes all obligations of Landlord arising after the date of the conveyance, Landlord shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Lease with respect to the transferred portion of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations relating to such transferred Leased Property shall thereupon be binding upon such applicable Acquirer. Without limitation of the preceding provisions of this Section 18.1, any or all of the following shall be freely permitted to occur (and, for the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of subclause (b) of the following clause (i), neither a Severance Lease nor a Severance Guaranty shall be required to be entered into with respect thereto): (i) any transfer of (a) the entire Leased Property or (b) the entire Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility to a Fee Mortgagee (in each case, subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including any transfer of the direct or indirect equity interests in Landlord), which transfer may include, without limitation, a transfer by foreclosure brought by the Fee Mortgagee or a transfer by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other transaction in lieu of foreclosure; (ii) a merger transaction or other similar disposition affecting Landlord REIT or a sale by Landlord REIT directly or indirectly involving the Leased Property (so long as (x) upon consummation of such transaction, all of the Leased Property (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) is owned by a single Person (or multiple Affiliated Persons as tenants in common) and (y) such surviving Person(s) execute(s) an assumption of this Lease and all Lease Related Agreements to which Landlord is a party, assuming all obligations of Landlord hereunder and thereunder (if any) (in the case of multiple Affiliated Persons, on a joint and several basis), the form and substance of which assumption shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord); (iii) a sale/leaseback transaction by Landlord with respect to all of the Leased Property pertaining to any Facility or Facilities (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) (provided (x) the overlandlord under the resulting xxxxxxxxx agrees that, in the event of a termination of such xxxxxxxxx, this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease between such overlandlord and Tenant and (y) the xxxxxxxxx shall not impose any new, additional or more onerous obligations on Tenant without Tenant’s prior written consent in Tenant’s sole discretion (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the xxxxxxxxx shall not impose any additional monetary obligations (whether for payment of rents under such xxxxxxxxx or otherwise) on Tenant), subject to and in accordance with all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease; (iv) any sale of any indirect interest in the Leased Property in respect of any Facility or Facilities that does not change the identity of Landlord hereunder, including without limitation a participating interest in Landlord’s interest (or the interest of any of the fee owning entities comprising Landlord) under this Lease or a sale of Landlord’s (or any such fee owning entity’s or entities’) reversionary interest in the Leased Property (or the applicable Leased Property pertaining to any individual Facility) so long as Landlord remains the only party with authority to bind Landlord under this Lease, or (v) a sale or transfer to an Affiliate of Landlord or a joint venture entity in which any Affiliate of Landlord is the managing member or partner, so long as (x) upon consummation of such transaction, all of the Leased Property (in the case of a sale or transfer of the Leased Property with respect to all of the Facilities), or all of the Leased Property pertaining to an individual Facility (in the case of a sale or transfer of the Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility) (subject, in each case, to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) is owned by a single Person or multiple Affiliated Persons as tenants in common and (y) such Person(s) execute(s) an assumption of this Lease and all Lease Related Agreements to which Landlord is a party, assuming all obligations of Landlord hereunder and thereunder (if any) (in the case of multiple Affiliated Persons, on a joint and several basis), the form and substance of which assumption shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not sell, assign, transfer or convey any Leased Property, or assign this Lease, to (I) a Tenant Prohibited Person or (II) any Person that is associated with a Person who has been found “unsuitable”, denied a Gaming License or otherwise precluded from participation in the Gaming Industry by any Gaming Authority where such association would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, any of Tenant’s or its Affiliates’ Gaming Licenses or Tenant’s or its Affiliates’ then-current standing with any Gaming Authority. Any transfer by Landlord under this Article XVIII shall be subject to all applicable Legal Requirements, including any Gaming Regulations, and no such transfer shall be effective until any applicable approvals with respect to Gaming Regulations, if applicable, are obtained. Tenant shall attorn to and recognize any successor Landlord in connection with any transfer(s) permitted under this Article XVIII as Tenant’s “landlord” with respect to the applicable Facility(ies).
COOPERATIVE PURCHASING PROGRAM PARTICIPATION Arkansas' Purchasing Law provides that local public procurement units (counties, municipalities, school districts, certain nonprofit corporations, etc.) may participate in state purchasing contracts. The contractor therefore agrees to sell to Cooperative Purchasing Program participants at the option of the program participants. Unless otherwise stated, all standard and special terms and conditions listed within the contract must be equally applied to such participants.
Transfer of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest (a) Subject to Section 4.6(c) below, prior to the first day of the first Quarter beginning after the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date, the General Partner shall not transfer all or any part of its General Partner Interest to a Person unless such transfer (i) has been approved by the prior written consent or vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Common Units (excluding Common Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates) or (ii) is of all, but not less than all, of its General Partner Interest to (A) an Affiliate of the General Partner (other than an individual) or (B) another Person (other than an individual) in connection with the merger or consolidation of the General Partner with or into such other Person or the transfer by the General Partner of all or substantially all of its assets to such other Person.
(b) Subject to Section 4.6(c) below, on or after the first day of the first Quarter beginning after the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date, the General Partner may at its option transfer all or any part of its General Partner Interest without Unitholder approval.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no transfer by the General Partner of all or any part of its General Partner Interest to another Person shall be permitted unless (i) the transferee agrees to assume the rights and duties of the General Partner under this Agreement and to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the Partnership receives an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer would not result in the loss of limited liability under the Delaware Act of any Limited Partner or cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed) and (iii) such transferee also agrees to purchase all (or the appropriate portion thereof, if applicable) of the partnership or membership interest held by the General Partner as the general partner or managing member, if any, of each other Group Member. In the case of a transfer pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 4.6, the transferee or successor (as the case may be) shall, subject to compliance with the terms of Section 10.2, be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner effective immediately prior to the transfer of the General Partner Interest, and the business of the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.
Transfer of General Partner’s Partnership Interest A. Except in connection with a Termination Transaction permitted under Section 11.2.B, the General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership and shall not transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership (whether by sale, statutory merger or consolidation, liquidation or otherwise), other than to an Affiliate, without the Consent of the Limited Partners, which may be given or withheld by each Limited Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, and only upon the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 12.1. Upon any transfer of a Partnership Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2, the transferee shall become a substitute General Partner for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the General Partner, once such transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Partnership Interest so acquired. It is a condition to any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Partnership Interest, and no such transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor General Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the Limited Partners, in their reasonable discretion. In the event the General Partner withdraws from the Partnership, in violation of this Agreement or otherwise, or otherwise dissolves or terminates, or upon the Incapacity of the General Partner, all of the remaining Partners may elect to continue the Partnership business by selecting a substitute General Partner in accordance with the Act.
B. The General Partner shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another person, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any reclassification, recapitalization or change of its outstanding equity interests (“Termination Transaction”) unless (1) the Termination Transaction has been approved by a Consent of the Partners and (2) either clause (a) or (b) below is satisfied:
(a) in connection with such Termination Transaction all Limited Partners either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each Common Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the REIT Shares Amount and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one REIT Share in consideration of one REIT Share in connection with the Termination Transaction; provided, that, if, in connection with the Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding REIT Shares, each Holder of Common Units shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which such holder would have received had it exercised its right to Redemption (as set forth in Section 8.6) and received REIT Shares in exchange for its Common Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer and then such Termination Transaction shall have been consummated; or
(b) the following conditions are met: (i) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity are held directly or indirectly by the Partnership or another limited partnership or limited liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Partnership (in each case, the “Surviving Partnership”); (ii) the holders of Common-Equivalent Units own a percentage interest of the Surviving Partnership based on the relative fair market value of the net assets of the Partnership and the other net assets of the Surviving Partnership immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction; (iii) the rights, preferences and privileges of such holders in the Surviving Partnership are at least as favorable as those in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Partnership; and (iv) such rights of the Limited Partners include at least one of the following: (a) the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Partnership for the consideration available to such persons pursuant to Section 11.2.B(a); or (b) the right to redeem their Common Units for cash on terms equivalent to those in effect with respect to their Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or, if the ultimate controlling person of the Surviving Partnership has publicly traded common equity securities, such common equity securities, with an exchange ratio based on the determination of relative fair market value of such securities and the REIT Shares.
Successor General Partner Upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to a Withdrawal of a General Partner, any remaining General Partner, or, if there be no remaining General Partner, the Withdrawing General Partner or its legal representative, shall promptly notify the Special Limited Partner of such Withdrawal (the "Withdrawal Notice"). Whether or not the Withdrawal Notice shall have been sent as provided herein, the Special Limited Partner shall have the right to become a successor General Partner (and to become the successor managing General Partner if the Withdrawing General Partner was previously the managing General Partner). In order to effectuate the provisions of this Section 13.4 and the continuance of the Partnership, the Withdrawal of a General Partner shall not be effective until the expiration of 120 days from the date on which occurred the event giving rise to the Withdrawal, unless the Special Limited Partner shall have elected to become a successor General Partner as provided herein prior to expiration of such 120-day period, whereupon the Withdrawal of the General Partner shall be deemed effective upon the notification of all the other Partners by the Special Limited Partner of such election.
Successor Investment Company Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Paragraph 11, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall become automatically applicable to any investment company which is a successor to the Trust as a result of reorganization, recapitalization or change of domicile.
