Transfers to Affiliates Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1, a Partner may, without the consent of the other Partner, Transfer all or a portion of its Interest to an Affiliate of such Partner, so long as such Affiliate is admitted to the Partnership as a Partner pursuant to Section 7.3, and provided further that such Affiliate is not a Benefit Plan Investor.
Transfers to Permitted Transferees Prior to the transfer of Units to a Permitted Transferee (other than a transfer in connection with or subsequent to a Sale of the Company), the Executive shall deliver to Investors a written agreement of the proposed transferee (a) evidencing such Person's undertaking to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and (b) acknowledging that the Units transferred to such Person will continue to be Units for purposes of this Agreement in the hands of such Person. Any transfer or attempted transfer of Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement or the Securityholders Agreement shall be void, and Investors shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Units as the owner of such Units for any purpose.
Transfers to QIBs The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note constituting a Restricted Security to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):
Permitted Transfers The provisions of Section 8.1 shall not apply to (a) a transfer or an assignment of this Lease in connection with the sale of substantially all the original Tenant’s assets if: (I) such sale of assets occurs on an arms’-length basis, to an unrelated third party, and is for a bona fide business purpose and not primarily to transfer Tenant’s interest in this Lease; and (II) upon the consummation of the transfer or assignment, the transferee or assignee is, in the sole, but reasonable determination of Landlord (and its lender, if applicable), capable of satisfying all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder; (b) an assignment of this Lease to a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar corporate restructuring or to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant; or (c) a subletting of the Premises or any part thereof. In the case of an assignment or sublease that is expressly permitted pursuant to (a) or (c) of this Section 8.3, Tenant shall nevertheless be required to provide Landlord with notice of such assignment or sublease and a true and complete copy of the fully-executed documentation pursuant to which the assignment or sublease, as applicable, has been effectuated within ten (10) business days after the effective date of such assignment or sublease. Any permitted transferee under (a) of this Section 8.3 shall execute and deliver to Landlord any and all documentation reasonably required by Landlord in order to evidence assignee’s assumption of all obligations of Tenant hereunder and to evidence the assignee’s compliance (or ability to comply) with (a)(II) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.3, in no event may Tenant assign, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease this Lease to any entity whatsoever if, at the time of such assignment, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease, a Default has occurred and remains continuing under this Lease.
Exception for Permitted Transfers The conditions of Sections 11.3.A(1) through 11.3.A(4) hereof shall not apply in the case of a Permitted Transfer. It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (whether or not such Transfer is effected during or after the first Fourteen-Month Period) that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Partnership Interest, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any restrictions on ownership and transfer of stock of the General Partner contained in the Charter that may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise its Redemption rights, including, without limitation, the Ownership Limit. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 hereof.
Exempted Transfers Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall not apply: (a) in the case of a Key Holder that is an entity, upon a transfer by such Key Holder to its stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders, (b) to a repurchase of Transfer Stock from a Key Holder by the Company at a price no greater than that originally paid by such Key Holder for such Transfer Stock and pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board, or (c) in the case of a Key Holder that is a natural person, upon a transfer of Transfer Stock by such Key Holder made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his or her lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted), or any other direct lineal descendant of such Key Holder (or his or her spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or to any other person approved by the Board, or to any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company that is solely for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned solely by, such Key Holder or by any such family members; provided that in the case of clause(s) (a) or (c), the Key Holder shall deliver prior written notice to the Company and the Investors of such pledge, gift or transfer and such shares of Transfer Stock shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such issuance, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Key Holder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), including the obligations of a Key Holder with respect to Proposed Key Holder Transfers of such Transfer Stock pursuant to Section 2.
Transfers Generally Landlord may sell, assign, transfer or convey, without Tenant’s consent, the Leased Property, in whole (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) but not in part (unless in part due to a transaction in which multiple Affiliates of a single Person (collectively, “Affiliated Persons”) will own the Leased Property as tenants in common, but only if this Lease remains as a single, indivisible Lease and all such Landlord Affiliated Persons execute a joinder to this Lease as “Landlord”, on a joint and several basis, the form and substance of which joinder shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord) to a single transferee (such transferee, such tenants in common or any other permitted transferee of this Lease, in each case, an “Acquirer”) and, in connection with such transaction, if the Acquirer is not an Affiliate of Landlord, (a) Landlord shall amend the minimum capital expenditure requirements hereunder (such amendment to be limited solely to the amount of such minimum capital expenditure requirements) such that, in the aggregate such minimum capital expenditure requirements hereunder (taken together with the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements under and as defined in the Other Leases, after taking into consideration applicable reductions of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements under and as defined in the Other Leases in the amount of the Minimum Cap Ex Reduction Amount), shall be no greater than the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements under this Lease and the Other Leases prior to such sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance; and (b) such minimum capital expenditure requirements shall be calculated on an individual, standalone basis under this Lease and under the Other Leases; except, however, the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall not apply to any transaction described in clause (iii) below. All Acquirers shall execute a joinder to the Intercreditor Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to all parties thereto. If Landlord (including any permitted successor Landlord) shall convey the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease, other than as security for a debt, and the applicable Acquirer expressly assumes all obligations of Landlord arising after the date of the conveyance, Landlord shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Lease arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon such applicable Acquirer. Without limitation of the preceding provisions of this Section 18.1, any or all of the following shall be freely permitted to occur: (i) any transfer of the Leased Property, in whole but not in part (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis), to a Fee Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including any transfer of the direct or indirect equity interests in Landlord), which transfer may include, without limitation, a transfer by foreclosure brought by the Fee Mortgagee or a transfer by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other transaction in lieu of foreclosure; (ii) a merger transaction or other similar disposition affecting Landlord REIT or a sale by Landlord REIT directly or indirectly involving the Leased Property (so long as (x) upon consummation of such transaction, all of the Leased Property (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) is owned by a single Person (or multiple Affiliated Persons as tenants in common) and (y) such surviving Person(s) execute(s) an assumption of this Lease, the MLSA and all Lease/MLSA Related Agreements to which Landlord is a party, assuming all obligations of Landlord hereunder and thereunder) (in the case of multiple Affiliated Persons, on a joint and several basis), the form and substance of which assumption shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord); (iii) a sale/leaseback transaction by Landlord with respect to the entire Leased Property (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) (provided (x) the overlandlord under the resulting xxxxxxxxx agrees that, in the event of a termination of such xxxxxxxxx, this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease between such overlandlord and Tenant and (y) the xxxxxxxxx shall not impose any new, additional or more onerous obligations on Tenant without Tenant’s prior written consent in Tenant’s sole discretion (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the xxxxxxxxx shall not impose any additional monetary obligations (whether for payment of rents under such xxxxxxxxx or otherwise) on Tenant), subject to and in accordance with all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease; (iv) any sale of any indirect interest in the Leased Property that does not change the identity of Landlord hereunder, including without limitation a participating interest in Landlord’s interest under this Lease or a sale of Landlord’s reversionary interest in the Leased Property so long as Landlord remains the only party with authority to bind Landlord under this Lease, or (v) a sale or transfer to an Affiliate of Landlord or a joint venture entity in which any Affiliate of Landlord is the managing member or partner, so long as (x) upon consummation of such transaction, all of the Leased Property (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) is owned by a single Person or multiple Affiliated Persons as tenants in common and (y) such Person(s) execute(s) an assumption of this Lease, the MLSA and all Lease/MLSA Related Agreements to which Landlord is a party, assuming all obligations of Landlord hereunder and thereunder (in the case of multiple Affiliated Persons, on a joint and several basis), the form and substance of which assumption shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not sell, assign, transfer or convey the Leased Property, or assign this Lease, to (I) a Tenant Prohibited Person (as defined in the MLSA), (II) a Manager Prohibited Person (as defined in the MLSA), or (III) any Person that is associated with a Person who has been found “unsuitable”, denied a Gaming License or otherwise precluded from participation in the Gaming Industry by any Gaming Authority where such association may adversely affect, any of Tenant’s or its Affiliates’ Gaming Licenses or Tenant’s or its Affiliates’ then-current standing with any Gaming Authority. Any transfer by Landlord under this Article XVIII shall be subject to all applicable Legal Requirements, including any Gaming Regulations, and no such transfer shall be effective until any applicable approvals with respect to Gaming Regulations, if applicable, are obtained. Tenant shall attorn to and recognize any successor Landlord in connection with any transfer(s) permitted under this Article XVIII as Tenant’s “landlord”.
Conditions to Permitted Transfers A Transfer shall not be treated as a Permitted Transfer under Section 10.2 hereof unless and until the following conditions are satisfied:
Certain Permitted Transfers The restrictions in this Section 4 will not apply with respect to any Transfer of Carried Shares made (i) pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or to such Person’s legal guardian in the case of any mental incapacity or among such Person’s Family Group, (ii) in connection with the Company’s initial Public Offering of the Common Shares upon the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional Common Shares to the extent set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-120444) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2004, as amended, or (iii) at such time as the Investors sell Common Shares to any unaffiliated third party, but in the case of this clause (iii) only an amount of shares (the “Transfer Amount”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Vested Shares owned by Executive and (B) the number of Common Shares owned by Executive multiplied by a fraction (the “Transfer Fraction”), the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares sold by the Investors in such sale and the denominator of which is the total number of Common Shares held by the Investors prior to the sale; provided that, if at the time of such sale of Common Shares by the Investors, Executive chooses not to Transfer the Transfer Amount, Executive shall retain the right to Transfer an amount of Common Shares at a future date equal to the lesser of (x) the number of Vested Shares owned by Executive at such future date and (y) the number of Common Shares owned by Executive at such future date multiplied by the Transfer Fraction; provided further that the restrictions contained in this Section 4 will continue to be applicable to the Carried Shares after any Transfer of the type referred to in clause (i) above and the transferees of such Carried Shares must agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Any transferee of Carried Shares pursuant to a Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b)(i) is herein referred to as a “Permitted Transferee.” Upon the Transfer of Carried Shares pursuant to this Section 4(b), the transferring holder of Carried Shares will deliver a written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) to the Company. In the case of a Transfer pursuant to clause (i) hereof, the Transfer Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the Permitted Transferee(s).
