Payment of Distributions Subject to the preferential rights of Holders of any class or series of Partnership Interests of the Partnership now or hereafter issued and outstanding, ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to the payment of distributions, pursuant to Section 5.1, the General Partner, as holder of the Series B Preferred Units, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the General Partner, out of Available Cash, cumulative cash distributions in an amount equal to the aggregate Series B Priority Return attributable to such Series B Preferred Units in accordance with this Article 19. Such distributions shall accrue and be cumulative from and including the first date on which any Series B Preferred Units are issued or, if later, the most recent Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date (as defined below) to which distributions have been paid in full (or declared and the corresponding Series B Distribution Record Date has passed), and shall be payable (i) quarterly in arrears, on the last calendar day of March, June, September and December, of each year commencing on or about March 30, 2018, and, (ii), in the event of a redemption of Series B Preferred Units, on the redemption date (each a “Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date”); provided, however, if any Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the distribution which would otherwise have been payable on such Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date may be paid, at the General Partner’s option, on either the immediately preceding Business Day or the next succeeding Business Day, except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if paid on such Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue on the amount so payable from such Series B Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day.
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions; Distributions to Record Holders (a) Within 45 days following the end of each Quarter commencing with the Quarter ending on September 30, 2005, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter shall, subject to Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act, be distributed in accordance with this Article VI by the Partnership to the Partners as of the Record Date selected by the General Partner. All amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on any date from any source shall be deemed to be Operating Surplus until the sum of all amounts of Available Cash theretofore distributed by the Partnership to the Partners pursuant to Section 6.4 equals the Operating Surplus from the Closing Date through the close of the immediately preceding Quarter. Any remaining amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on such date shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.5, be deemed to be “Capital Surplus.” All distributions required to be made under this Agreement shall be made subject to Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a), in the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, all receipts received during or after the Quarter in which the Liquidation Date occurs, other than from borrowings described in (a)(ii) of the definition of Available Cash, shall be applied and distributed solely in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 12.4.
(c) The General Partner may treat taxes paid by the Partnership on behalf of, or amounts withheld with respect to, all or less than all of the Partners, as a distribution of Available Cash to such Partners.
(d) Each distribution in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be paid by the Partnership, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.
Distributions of Distributable Cash Except as otherwise provided in Article VII hereof, Distributable Cash for each Fiscal Year may be distributed to the Holders at such times, if any, and in such amounts as shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustees. In exercising such discretion, the Trustees shall distribute such Distributable Cash so that Holders that are regulated investment companies can comply with the distribution requirements set forth in Code Section 852 and avoid the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4982.
Interim Distributions At such times as may be determined by it in its sole discretion, the Trustee shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, to the Beneficiaries, in proportion to the number of Trust Units held by each Beneficiary relating to the Trust, such cash or other property comprising a portion of the Trust Assets as the Trustee may in its sole discretion determine may be distributed without detriment to the conservation and protection of the Trust Assets in the Trust.
Certain Distributions If the Company elects to:
(I) distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan prior to separation of such rights from the Common Stock) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the date such distribution is announced, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced (determined in the manner set forth in the third paragraph of Section 5.05(A)(ii)); or
(II) distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, assets or securities of the Company or rights to purchase the Company’s securities (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan prior to separation of such rights from the Common Stock), which distribution per share of Common Stock has a value, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then, in either case, (x) the Company will send written notice of such distribution, and of the related right to convert Notes, to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent at least 50 Scheduled Trading Days before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and (y) once the Company has sent such notice, Holders may convert their Notes at any time until the earlier of the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date and the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place; provided, however, that the Notes will not become convertible pursuant to clause (y) above (but the Company will be required to send notice of such distribution pursuant to clause (x) above) on account of such distribution if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder, in such distribution without having to convert such Holder’s Notes and as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution; and (ii) the aggregate principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder on such date; provided, further, that if the Company is then otherwise permitted to settle conversions of Notes by Physical Settlement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company has not elected another Settlement Method to apply, including pursuant to Section 5.03(A)(i)), then the Company may instead elect to provide such notice at least ten Scheduled Trading Days before such Ex-Dividend Date, in which case (x) the Company must settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the date the Company provides such notice and on or before the Business Day immediately before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (or any earlier announcement by the Company that such distribution will not take place) by Physical Settlement; and (y) such notice must state that all such conversions will be settled by Physical Settlement; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01(C)(i)(3)(a), in the case of any separation, from the Common Stock, of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan as set forth in clauses (I) and (II) above, in no event will the Company be required to provide such notice before the Business Day after the date the Company becomes aware of the event causing such separation.
Cash Distributions Whenever the Depositary receives confirmation from the Custodian of the receipt of any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, or receives proceeds from the sale of any Deposited Securities or any other entitlements held in respect of Deposited Securities under the terms hereof, the Depositary will (i) if at the time of receipt thereof any amounts received in a Foreign Currency can in the judgment of the Depositary (pursuant to Section 4.8) be converted on a practicable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, promptly convert or cause to be converted such cash dividend, distribution or proceeds into Dollars (on the terms described in Section 4.8), (ii) if applicable, establish the ADS Record Date upon the terms described in Section 4.9, and (iii) distribute promptly the amount thus received (net of (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes withheld) to the Holders entitled thereto as of the ADS Record Date in proportion to the number of ADSs held as of the ADS Record Date. The Depositary shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Holder a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributed shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and become part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to Holders of ADSs outstanding at the time of the next distribution. If the Company, the Custodian or the Depositary is required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an amount on account of taxes, duties or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to Holders on the ADSs representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. Such withheld amounts shall be forwarded by the Company, the Custodian or the Depositary to the relevant governmental authority. Evidence of payment thereof by the Company shall be forwarded by the Company to the Depositary upon request.
Waiver of Liquidation Distributions; Redemption Rights In connection with the Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distributions by the Company from the trust account which will be established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders and into which substantially all of the proceeds of the IPO will be deposited (the “Trust Account”), in the event of a liquidation of the Company upon the Company’s failure to timely complete an initial business combination. For purposes of clarity, in the event the Subscriber purchases Shares in the IPO or in the aftermarket, any additional Shares so purchased shall be eligible to receive any liquidating distributions by the Company. However, in no event will the Subscriber have the right to redeem any Shares into funds held in the Trust Account upon the successful completion of an initial business combination.
Non-Cash Distributions If the Security Agent or any other Secured Party receives a distribution in a form other than in cash in respect of any of the Liabilities, the Liabilities will not be reduced by that distribution until and except to the extent that the realisation proceeds are actually applied towards the Liabilities.
Conditions to Distribution (a) The consummation of the Distribution will be subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by Covidien in its sole and absolute discretion, of the following conditions:
(i) The continued validity of a private letter ruling received by Covidien from the IRS (the “IRS Ruling”) prior to the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, which shall continue in full force and effect and which shall not be modified or amended in any respect adversely affecting the intended tax-free treatment of the Distribution and certain related transactions.

(iii) The receipt of one or more opinions from Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx or another independent firm acceptable to Covidien in its sole and absolute discretion, confirming the solvency and financial viability of each of Covidien and Mallinckrodt and the satisfaction of any legal capital requirements in connection with the Separation, which opinions shall be in form and substance acceptable to Covidien in its sole and absolute discretion and which opinions shall not have been withdrawn or rescinded.

(xiv) No other events or developments shall exist or shall have occurred that, in the judgment of the Covidien Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, makes it inadvisable to effect the Separation, the Distribution or the transactions related thereto.
(b) The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Covidien and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of Covidien or the Covidien Board to waive or not waive such conditions or in any way limit Covidien’s right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Article X or alter the consequences of any such termination from those specified in such Article. Any determination made by the Covidien Board prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.3 shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.
