Right to Exchange (i) Series K Preferred Units will be exchangeable in whole but not in part unless expressly otherwise provided herein at anytime on or after October 30, 2012, at the option of the holders of 51% of all outstanding Series K Preferred Units, for authorized but previously unissued Series K Preferred Shares at an exchange rate of one Series K Preferred Share from the General Partner for one Series K Preferred Unit, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Exchange Price”), provided that the Series K Preferred Units will become exchangeable at any time, in whole but not in part unless expressly otherwise provided herein, at the option of the holders of 51% of all outstanding Series K Preferred Units for Series K Preferred Shares if at any time full distributions shall not have been timely made on any Series K Preferred Unit with respect to six (6) prior quarterly distribution periods, whether or not consecutive, provided, however, that a distribution in respect of Series K Preferred Units shall be considered timely made if made within two (2) Business Days after the applicable Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date if at the time of such late payment there shall not be any prior quarterly distribution periods in respect of which full distributions were not timely made. Furthermore, the Series K Preferred Units, if the holders of 51% of all outstanding Series K Preferred Units so determine, may be exchanged in whole but not in part (regardless of whether held by one or more holders) for Series K Preferred Shares if (1) the holders of 51% of all outstanding Series K Preferred Units conclude based on results or projected results that there exists (in the reasonable judgment of such holder) an imminent and substantial risk that the holder’s interest in the Partnership represents or will represent more than the 19.5% Limit, (2) such holders deliver to the General Partner an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that there is a substantial risk that its interest in the Partnership does not or will not satisfy the 19.5% Limit and (3) the General Partner agrees with the conclusions referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of this sentence, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if, as a result of such conclusion, such holders’ interest in the Partnership is reduced pursuant to the last sentence of Section 19.7 hereof (which procedure shall be available to such holders to the exclusion of the procedure under this sentence for so long as, on a cumulative basis, sales of 10% or fewer of the Series K Preferred Units originally issued by the Partnership would in the opinion of the above-referenced counsel reduce the risk that such holders’ interest in the Partnership would not satisfy the 19.5% Limit to less than a substantial risk, and thereafter shall be a permitted alternative to the procedure pursuant to this sentence) or the risk of such holder not satisfying the 19.5% Limit otherwise is reduced below a substantial risk, then an exchange in whole under this sentence shall not be permitted unless and until a change in facts occurs and a further determination by such holders is made under this sentence. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 19.8.A(i), if an Exchange Notice (as defined herein) has been delivered to the General Partner, then the General Partner may, at its option, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Exchange Notice, elect to cause the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding Series K Preferred Units for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital Contribution per Series K Preferred Unit and all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption. If the General Partner elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Series K Preferred Units, the number of Series K Preferred Units held by each holder to be redeemed shall equal such holder’s pro rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate number of outstanding Series K Preferred Units that the total number of Series K Preferred Units held by such holder represents) of the aggregate number of Series K Preferred Units being redeemed. (iii) In the event an exchange of all Series K Preferred Units pursuant to Section 19.8.A would violate the provisions on ownership limitation of the General Partner set forth in Section 7 of the Third Article of the Articles Supplementary to the Charter with respect to Series K Preferred Shares (the “Series K Articles Supplementary”), each holder of Series K Preferred Units shall be entitled to exchange, pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.8.B, a number of Series K Preferred Units which would comply with the provisions on the ownership limitation of the General Partner set forth in such Section 7 of the Series K Articles Supplementary, with respect to such holder, and any Series K Preferred Units not so exchanged (the “Excess Units”) shall be redeemed by the Partnership for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital Contribution per Excess Unit, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption subject to any restriction thereon contained in any debt instrument or agreement of the Partnership. In the event an exchange would result in Excess Units, as a condition to such exchange, each holder of such units agrees to provide representations and covenants reasonably requested by the General Partner relating to (i) the widely held nature of the interests in such holder, sufficient to assure the General Partner that the holder’s ownership of stock of the General Partner (without regard to the limits described above) will not cause any individual to own in excess of 9.0% of the stock of the General Partner; and (ii) to the extent such holder can so represent and covenant without obtaining information from its owners, the holder’s ownership of tenants of the Partnership and its affiliates. For purposes of determining the number of Excess Units under this Section 19.8.A(iii), the “Beneficial Ownership Limit” and “Constructive Ownership Limit” set forth in the Series K Articles Supplementary shall be deemed to be 9.0%. To the extent the General Partner would not be able to pay the cash set forth above in exchange for the Excess Units, and to the extent consistent with the Charter, the General Partner agrees that it will grant to the holders of the Series K Preferred Units exceptions to the Beneficial Ownership Limit and Constructive Ownership Limit set forth in the Series K Articles Supplementary sufficient to allow such holders to exchange all of their Series K Preferred Units for Series K Preferred Stock, provided such holders furnish to the General Partner representations acceptable to the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion which assure the General Partner that such exceptions will not jeopardize the General Partner’s tax status as a REIT for purposes of federal and applicable state law. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Series K Limited Partner shall be entitled to effect an exchange of Series K Preferred Units for Series K Preferred Shares to the extent that ownership or right to acquire such shares would cause the Partner or any other Person or, in the opinion of counsel selected by the General Partner, may cause the Partner or any other Person, to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of Series K Preferred Shares set forth in the Charter, taking into account any exceptions thereto granted by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Charter. To the extent any such attempted exchange for Series K Preferred Shares would be in violation of the previous sentence, it shall be void ab initio and such Series K Limited Partner shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the Series K Preferred Shares otherwise issuable upon such exchange. (iv) The redemption of Series K Preferred Units described in Section 19.8.A(ii) and (iii) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 19.5.B(i) and Section 19.5.C(ii); provided, however, that the term “Redemption Price” in such Sections 19.5.B(i) and 19.5.C(ii) shall be read to mean the original Capital Contribution per Series K Preferred Unit being redeemed as set forth on Exhibit A plus all accrued and unpaid distributions to the redemption date.
The Exchange (a) The Company agrees, promptly upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2 below, to repay the Subordinated Notes by delivering to the Note Holders the following (the “Exchange Consideration”): (i) a number of shares of Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to $12.8 million (the “Exchange Preferred Shares”); and (ii) a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (as defined below), rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, equal to (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Notes on the date of closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing Date”), plus (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Notes on the Closing Date, minus (z) $12.8 million (the “Exchange Common Shares” and, together with the Exchange Preferred Shares, the “Exchange Shares”). (b) The Note Holders agree to accept the Exchange Consideration as full repayment of all amounts outstanding on the Subordinated Notes. Upon the payment of the Exchange Consideration, the Note Holders will xxxx the Subordinated Notes “Paid in Full” and surrender the Subordinated Notes to the Company. Furthermore, upon the payment of the Exchange Consideration, any security interest held by the Note Holders to secure the repayment of the Subordinated Notes will automatically be released, and the Note Holders hereby irrevocably designate the Company as their attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing and filing any UCC-3 termination statements in connection with such release. (c) Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to modify or amend the terms of the Subordinated Notes, and, until the Subordinated Notes have been repaid in full in accordance with Section 1(a), the Company will, subject to any applicable subordination provisions, continue to comply with its obligations under the Subordinated Notes in accordance with its terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any applicable subordination provisions, the Company will continue to pay interest on the Subordinated Notes and will make any mandatory prepayments required to be made under the terms of the Subordinated Notes. (d) The Exchange Consideration to be delivered to the Note Holders will be allocated between the Note Holders in proportion to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Subordinated Notes held by such Note Holders. At the Closing, the Company will deliver the Exchange Consideration to the Note Holders, free and clear of any liens or security interests. (e) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Fair Market Value” of one share of Common Stock is equal to the volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market during the last ten trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date. (f) For the avoidance of doubt, neither of the Note Holders will be entitled to receive any of the Exchange Shares or any beneficial ownership thereof at any time until all of the conditions set forth in Section 2 have been satisfied or waived by the applicable Party. (g) The Exchange Preferred Shares will have rights and preferences substantially similar to the rights and preferences set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Company may, but is not required to, issue additional shares of preferred stock of the same preferred stock series as the Exchange Preferred Shares in one or more public offerings or private placements. In connection with the first such offering for cash of the same series of preferred stock as the Exchange Preferred Shares to occur after the date hereof, the Company will modify (without being required to obtain the consent of the holders of the Exchange Preferred Shares) the provisions of the Exchange Preferred Shares to be appropriate for that type of offering, and the holders of the Exchange Preferred Shares will be entitled to comparable and proportionate rights, together with the subsequent purchasers of such new shares in such offering. There is no assurance that any additional shares of preferred stock (or any Public Preferred Stock, as defined below) will be issued or that a trading market will develop for such shares. Furthermore, there is no assurance that shares of preferred stock issued by the Company in a different series of preferred stock will have rights and preferences similar to the Exchange Preferred Shares. Depending upon market conditions and other factors at the time that any shares of Public Preferred Stock are issued, the rights, designations and preferences of shares of Public Preferred Stock may differ from the rights, designations and preferences of the Exchange Preferred Shares.
Clear Market During the period from the date hereof through and including the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and having a tenor of more than one year.
