Rollover of Units (a) If the Depositor shall offer a subsequent series of the Trusts, (the "New Series"), the Trustee shall, at the Depositor's sole cost and expense, include in the notice sent to Unit holders specified in Section 8.02 a form of election whereby Unit holders, whose redemption distribution would be in an amount sufficient to purchase at least one Unit of the New Series, may elect to have their Unit(s) redeemed in kind in the manner provided in Section 5.02, the Securities included in the redemption distribution sold, and the cash proceeds applied by the Distribution Agent to purchase Units of a New Series, all as hereinafter provided. The Trustee shall honor properly completed election forms returned to the Trustee, accompanied by any Certificate evidencing Units tendered for redemption or a properly completed redemption request with respect to uncertificated Units, by its close of business on the Rollover Notification Date. The notice and form of election to be sent to Unit holders in respect of any redemption and purchase of Units of a New Series as provided in this section shall be in such form and shall be sent at such time or times as the Depositor shall direct the Trustee in writing and the Trustee shall have no responsibility therefor. The Distributions Agent acts solely as disbursing agent in connection with purchases of Units pursuant to this Section and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute the Distribution Agent a broker in such transactions All Units so tendered by a Unit holder (a "Rollover Unit holder") shall be redeemed and cancelled during the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period on such date or dates specified by Depositor. Subject to payment by such Rollover Unit holder of any tax or other governmental charges which may be imposed thereon, such redemption is to be made in kind pursuant to Section 5.02 by distribution of cash and/or Securities to the Distribution Agent on the redemption date equal to the net asset value (determined on the basis of the Trust Fund Evaluation as of the redemption date in accordance with Section 4.01) multiplied by the number of Units being redeemed (herein called the "Rollover Distribution"). Any Securities that are made part of the Rollover Distribution shall be valued for purposes of the redemption distribution as of the redemption date. All Securities included in a Unit holder's Rollover Distribution shall be sold by the Distribution Agent during the Special Redemption and Liquidation Period specified in the Prospectus pursuant to the Depositor's direction, and the Distribution Agent shall, unless directed otherwise by the Depositor, employ the Depositor as broker in connection with such sales. For such brokerage services, the Depositor shall be entitled to compensation at its customary rates, provided however, that its compensation shall not exceed the amount authorized by applicable securities laws and regulations. The Depositor shall direct that sales be made in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Prospectus under the heading "Special Redemption, Liquidation and Investment in a New Trust." Should the Depositor fail to provide direction, the Distribution Agent shall sell the Securities in the manner provided in the prospectus. The Distribution Agent shall have no responsibility for any loss or depreciation incurred by reason of any sale made pursuant to this Section. Upon completion of all sales of Securities included in the Rollover Unit holder's Rollover Distribution, the Distribution Agent shall, as agent for such Rollover Unit holder, enter into a contract with the Depositor to purchase from the Depositor Units of a New Series (if any), at the Depositor's public offering price for such Units on such day, and at such reduced sales charge as shall be described in the prospectus for such Trust. Such contract shall provide for purchase of the maximum number of Units of a New Series whose purchase price is equal to or less than the cash proceeds held by the Distribution Agent for the Unit holder on such day (including therein the proceeds anticipated to be received in respect of Securities traded on such day net of all brokerage fees, governmental charges and any other expenses incurred in connection with such sale), to the extent Units are available for purchase from the Depositor. In the event a sale of Securities included in the Rollover Unit holder's redemption distribution shall not be consummated in accordance with its terms, the Distribution Agent shall apply the cash proceeds held for such Unit holder as of the settlement date for the purchase of Units of a New Series to purchase the maximum number of Units which such cash balance will permit, and the Depositor agrees that the settlement date for Units whose purchase was not consummated as a result of insufficient funds will be extended until cash proceeds from the Rollover Distribution are available in a sufficient amount to settle such purchase. If the Unit holder's Rollover Distribution will produce insufficient cash proceeds to purchase all of the Units of a New Series contracted for, the Depositor agrees that the contract shall be rescinded with respect to the Units as to which there was a cash shortfall without any liability to the Rollover Unit holder or the Distribution Agent. Any cash balance remaining after such purchase shall be distributed within a reasonable time to the Rollover Unit holder by check mailed to the address of such Unit holder on the registration books of the Trustee. Units of a New Series will be uncertificated unless and until the Rollover Unit holder requests a certificate. Any cash held by the Distribution Agent shall be held in a non-interest bearing account which will be of benefit to the Distribution Agent in accordance with normal banking procedures. Neither the Trustee nor the Distribution Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for loss or depreciation resulting from any reinvestment made in accordance with this paragraph, or for any failure to make such reinvestment in the event the Depositor does not make Units available for purchase.
Taxation as a Partnership No election shall be made by the Company or any Member for the Company to be excluded from the application of any of the provisions of Subchapter K, Chapter I of Subtitle A of the Code or from any similar provisions of any state tax laws or to be treated as a corporation for federal tax purposes.
OP Units Any portion of the Consideration payable hereunder in the form of common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) shall be registered in the name of Contributor. OP Units will not be delivered to Contributor unless Section 2.2(j) hereof is true and correct as of the Closing Date. No fractional OP Units will be issued and OP Units will be rounded to the nearest whole number. The Consideration payable to Contributor, whether in cash, in OP Units or a combination thereof, may be reduced by the amount the Operating Partnership reasonably determines must be withheld for tax purposes. The rights and obligations of holders of OP Units as of the Closing will be as set forth in the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Amendment No. 1 to the REIT’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-231677), which the REIT filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 31, 2019 (the “IPO Registration Statement”). Although initially the OP Units will not be certificated and the Operating Partnership does not currently expect the OP Units will ever be certificated, any certificates, subsequently issued evidencing the OP Units will bear appropriate legends (i) indicating that the issuance of the OP Units has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) and that the OP Units may not be transferred absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements, (ii) indicating that the Partnership Agreement will restrict the transfer of the OP Units and (iii) describing the ownership limitations and transfer restrictions imposed by the charter of the REIT with respect to shares of the REIT’s capital stock.
Default Exceeding 10% of Firm Units or Option Units In the event that the default addressed in Section 6.1 above relates to more than 10% of the Firm Units or Option Units, the Representative may in its discretion arrange for itself or for another party or parties to purchase such Firm Units or Option Units to which such default relates on the terms contained herein. If, within one (1) Business Day after such default relating to more than 10% of the Firm Units or Option Units, the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of such Firm Units or Option Units, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of one (1) Business Day within which to procure another party or parties satisfactory to the Company and the Representative to purchase said Firm Units or Option Units on such terms. In the event the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of the Firm Units or Option Units to which a default relates as provided in this Section 6, this Agreement may be terminated by the Company without liability on the part of the Company (except as provided in Sections 3.12 and 5 hereof) or the several Underwriters (except as provided in Section 5 hereof); provided, however, that if such default occurs with respect to the Option Units, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Units; and provided further that nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the other several Underwriters and to the Company for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
Trust Not a Partnership; Taxation It is hereby expressly declared that a trust and not a partnership is created hereby. No Trustee hereunder shall have any power to bind personally either the Trust's officers or any Shareholder. All persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against the Trust or the Trustees shall look only to the assets of the appropriate Portfolio or, until the Trustees shall have established any separate Portfolio, of the Trust for payment under such credit, contract or claim; and neither the Shareholders, the Trustees, nor the Trust's officers nor any of the agents of the Trustees whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor. It is intended that the Trust, or each Portfolio if there is more than one Portfolio, be classified for income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation, and the Trustees shall do all things that they, in their sole discretion, determine are necessary to achieve that objective, including (if they so determine), electing such classifications on Internal Revenue Form 8832. The Trustees, in their sole discretion and without the vote or consent of the Shareholders, may amend this Agreement to ensure that this objective is achieved.
Partnership Units Each Partner shall own Partnership Units in the amounts set forth for such Partner in Exhibit A and shall have a Percentage Interest in the Partnership as set forth in Exhibit A, which Percentage Interest shall be adjusted in Exhibit A from time to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately redemptions, additional Capital Contributions, the issuance of additional Partnership Units or similar events having an effect on the number of Partnership Units held by, and the Percentage Interest of, any Partner. Each Partnership Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters on which the Partners (or any portion of the Partners) are entitled to vote under this Agreement.
Tax Partnership It is the intention of the Members that the Company be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Unless otherwise approved by each Member, neither the Company nor any Member shall make an election for the Company to be excluded from the application of the provisions of subchapter K of chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code or any similar provisions of applicable state Law or to be classified as other than a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3.
Default Not Exceeding 10% of Firm Units or Option Units If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase the Firm Units or the Option Units, if the Over-allotment Option is exercised, hereunder, and if the number of the Firm Units or Option Units with respect to which such default relates does not exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of Firm Units or Option Units that all Underwriters have agreed to purchase hereunder, then such Firm Units or Option Units to which the default relates shall be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder.
Vesting of Units For purposes of this Agreement, “Vesting Date” means any date, including the Scheduled Vesting Dates specified in the Vesting Schedule on the cover page of this Agreement, on which Units subject to this Agreement vest as provided in this Section 4.
Taxation as Partnership The Company shall be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
