The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the MLLCA, including Section 4A-709 of the MLLCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest of the Company and the Merger Sub, shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and the Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.
Section 1.2 Effective Time of the Merger. The Company and Merger Sub shall cause a duly executed articles of merger or other appropriate documents to be filed with and accepted for record by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”) in accordance with Section 4A-703 of the MLLCA and shall make all other filings, records and publications required under the MLLCA in respect of the Merger (the “Merger Filings”). The time at which the Merger shall become effective (the “Effective Time”) shall be the time that the Merger Filings are accepted for record by the SDAT or such later time as the Company and the Merger Sub shall have agreed and as shall be designated in the Merger Filings in accordance with the MLLCA as the effective time of the Merger.
Section 1.3 Organizational Documents.
(a) Following the Effective Time, the articles of organization of the Company shall be the articles of organization of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law.
(b) At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the operating agreement of the Company, which shall be amended and restated in connection with the Merger in a form to be determined by the Company, shall become the operating agreement of the Surviving Company.
Section 1.4 Consideration and Exchange of Equity.
(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any holder of Company Interests (each such holder, a “Former Member”) or any of the Parties, the Company Interests held by each Former Member that are issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the following (the resulting amount, each Former Member’s “Merger Consideration”), in each case, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.4(e), a number of OP Units equal to 1.0 for each 50.0% Company Interest.
(b) No fractional OP Units shall be issued in connection with the Merger and all fractional OP Units that a Former Member would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of OP Units (with 0.5 or greater of an OP Unit rounded up and less than 0.5 of an OP Unit rounded down), as applicable.
(c) All Company Interests, when so converted at the Effective Time, no longer shall be outstanding and automatically shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each Former Member shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive such Former Member’s Merger Consideration therefor, without interest.
(d) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any of the Parties, each previously issued membership interest in Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the membership interests of the surviving entity and shall constitute the only outstanding membership interests of the surviving entity.
(e) The Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into MAMP Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of shares of MAMP Common Stock or OP Units outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time so as to provide the holders of Company Interests with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Merger Consideration.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, MAMP, the Operating Partnership or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, may withhold and pay over to a Governmental Entity a portion of any payments or other consideration otherwise to be made to any Former Member, in each case as required by the Code, or other applicable Law. To the extent amounts are so deducted and withheld and duly paid over to the applicable Tax Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.
(g) The aggregate number of OP Units to be issued hereunder in connection with the Merger is 2 OP Units as Merger Consideration, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.4(e).
Section 1.5 Further Assurances. As soon as reasonably practicable at or immediately following the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall deliver to each Former Member such Former Member’s Merger Consideration.
Section 1.6 Tax Treatment. The Merger is intended to qualify as an “assets over” partnership merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(3), pursuant to which the Company is treated as contributing all of its assets and liabilities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units in a transaction governed by section 721(a) of the Code, and the immediate liquidation of the Company and distribution of such OP Units to the Former Members in a transaction governed by Section 731 of the Code. Each Party shall file (and cause their Affiliates to file) their respective Tax Returns in a manner that is consistent with the above-described Tax treatment.
Section 1.7 Other Transactions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger or the Other Merger Transactions, as applicable, the Company and/or certain BSV Entities will effect the transactions described on Schedule 1.7.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Merger Sub and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of Merger Sub enforceable against Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
