Common use of Partnership Termination Clause in Contracts

Partnership Termination. Section 708(b) of the Code provides that a partnership terminates for income tax purposes if there is a sale or exchange of 50% or more of the total interest in partnership capital and profits within a twelve-month period (although successive transfers of the same interest within a twelve-month period will be treated as a single transfer for this purpose). In the event of a termination, the Partnership's tax year would close and the Partnership would be treated for income tax purposes as if it had contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a "new" partnership in exchange for an interest in the "new" partnership. The Partnership would then be treated as making a distribution of the interests in the "new" partnership to the new partners and the remaining partners, followed by the liquidation of the Partnership. Because the "new" partnership would be treated as having acquired its assets on the date of the deemed contribution, a new depreciation recovery period would begin on such date, the Partnership's annual depreciation deductions over the next few years would be substantially reduced, and the Partnership would have greater taxable income (or less tax loss) than if no tax termination occurred. In addition, depreciation may be required to be allocated to those Limited Partners that have a higher tax basis. A tax termination of the Partnership would also terminate any partnership in which the Partnership holds a majority interest (50% or more). The Limited Partnership Agreement prohibits transfers of Units if a transfer, when considered with all other transfers during the same applicable twelve-month period, would cause a termination of the Partnership for tax purposes. The Purchaser believes that even if the maximum number of Units is purchased pursuant to the Offer, those transfers will not cause a tax termination of the Partnership.
