Priority as to Distributions (i) Except as provided in Section 16.2.C.(ii) below, no distributions shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared or made on or with respect to any Parity Preferred Unit or Junior Unit as to distributions (other than a distribution paid in Junior Units as to distributions and upon liquidation) for any period, nor shall any Junior Units or Parity Preferred Units as to distributions or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (and no funds shall be paid or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of such units) and no other distribution of cash or other property may be made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect thereto by the Partnership (except by conversion into or exchange for Junior Units as to distributions and upon liquidation, and except for the redemption of Partnership Interests corresponding to any REIT Series A Preferred Shares or any other REIT shares of any other class or series of capital stock ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock to be purchased by the General Partner pursuant to the Charter to the extent necessary to preserve the General Partner’s status as a real estate investment trust, provided that such redemption shall be upon the same terms as the corresponding stock purchase pursuant to the Charter), unless full cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Units for all past periods and the then current period shall have been or contemporaneously are (i) declared and paid in cash or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for such payment.
(ii) When distributions are not paid in full (and a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series A Preferred Units and any other Parity Preferred Units as to distributions, all distributions declared upon the Series A Preferred Units and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Units as to the payment of distributions shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of distributions declared per Series A Preferred Unit and each such other class or series of Parity Preferred Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued distributions per Series A Preferred Unit and such other class or series of Parity Preferred Units (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid distribution on such other class or series of Parity Preferred Units for prior distribution periods if such other class or series of Parity Preferred Unit does not have a cumulative distribution) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Units which may be in arrears.
No Right to Distributions in Kind No Partner shall be entitled to demand property other than cash in connection with any distributions by the Partnership.
Liquidating Distributions Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII or in Section 8.3 of the Master Agreement, upon the sale of the Property or the dissolution and liquidation of the Series in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and of Section 8.3 of the Master Agreement, the proceeds of liquidation of the Series or the sale of the Property will be distributed within ninety (90) days of the date of sale of the Property or the dissolution and liquidation in the following order and priority:
(i) First, to creditors of the Series, including the Members who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof) of all debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses of the Series, including, without limitation, the expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation of the Series; and
(ii) Second, to the Members pro rata in proportion to their holdings of Shares, with such Distributions to be made by the end of the Fiscal Year during which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation).
Adjustment for Other Distributions In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Ordinary Shares evidences of its indebtedness (other than evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for, with or without payment of additional consideration in cash or property, Ordinary Shares, either upon the occurrence of a specified date or a specified event (in any case, "Convertible Securities")), assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions payable out of consolidated retained earnings and dividends or distributions referred to in Section 5(a) or in Section 5(c)), shares of capital stock (other than Ordinary Shares), or rights, options or warrants containing the right to subscribe for or purchase debt securities, assets or securities of the Company (other than Convertible Securities or Ordinary Shares) (collectively "Assets"), then in each case the number of Ordinary Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby shall be determined by multiplying the number of Ordinary Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant evidenced hereby by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the market price per Ordinary Share (as defined in Section 5(f)) on the date of such distribution, and the denominator of which shall be such market price per Ordinary Share less the fair value as of such record date (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the Assets applicable to one Ordinary Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. A reclassification of the Ordinary Shares (other than a change in par value, from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into Ordinary Shares and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Ordinary Shares of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 5(b) and, if the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be changed into larger or smaller number of Ordinary Shares as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combina- tion, as the case may be, of the outstanding Ordinary Shares within the meaning of Section 5(a). No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 5(b) unless, on the record date for such distribution, the market price per Ordinary Share exceeds the fair market value of the Assets applicable to each outstanding Ordinary Share. In the event, and each time, that the Company distributes Assets to all holders of its Ordinary Shares and the market price per Ordinary Share on the record date for such distribution is less than or equal to the fair market value of the Assets applicable to each outstanding Ordinary Share on such date, the Company shall either (i) distribute Assets to the Warrant Holder on the record date for such distribution when such Assets are distributed to the holders of Ordinary Shares as though all Warrants evidenced hereby had been exercised as of such record date or (ii) deposit such Assets in trust with a trustee. If the Company elects to distribute Assets to the Warrant Holder, the Company shall, on the date Assets are distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares, distribute to such Warrant Holder the Assets that it would have been entitled to receive on such date if it had exercised the Warrants evidenced hereby immediately prior to the record date for such distribution. If, however, the Company elects to deposit the Assets due the Warrant Holder in trust, the Company shall, on the date Assets are distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares, place in trust the Assets that the Warrant Holder would have been entitled to receive on such date if all of the Warrants evidenced hereby had been exercised immediately prior to the record date for such distribution; and the Warrant Holder shall be entitled upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, the Assets placed in trust in respect of such Warrants, and the interest and dividends paid on such Assets since being placed in trust. In the event any Warrants evidenced hereby have not been exercised prior to the termination of the Expiration Date, any assets remaining in such trust after distributions have been made in respect of Warrants exercised shall be returned to the Company.
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.
Adjustments for Other Distributions In the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other Persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other Persons, assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions to the holders of Common Stock paid out of current or retained earnings and declared by the Company’s Board of Directors) or options or rights not referred to in Sections 4.2 or 4.3 then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 4.4, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the Holder was the actual record holder of the number of Warrant Shares as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.
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.
Other Distributions In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends, dividends of its Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 13(A)), in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock (such amount and/or Fair Market Value, the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash dividend that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share Fair Market Value would be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the cash dividend that would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.
No Distributions Make any Distribution except Permitted Distributions.
