A Framework for Diversification Clause Samples

A Framework for Diversification. Conclusions‌ In the preceding sections, I have laid out a framework that links selection institu- tions to diversity through a process of citizen learning and accountability. For citizens to hold selectors accountable for (the absence of) diversity, the must be able to (1) make accurate inferences about whether or not bias is occurring in selection, (2) ac- curately attribute blame for perceived bias, and (3) hold those responsible for bias accountable to induce diverse selections. Each of the three steps required for citizens to induce diversification in political offices is mediated by the specific institutional arrangements of the selection process. Prior beliefs in the fairness of institutions will shape how observers interpret information. Institutions that affect the size of the court and turnover shape how much data citizens have with which they can update their beliefs. The presence of multiple actors/steps in selection obscure blame attribu- 12Or, pro-diversity selectors may institutionalize their preferences for diversification through in- stitutional change, such as the imposition of gender or racial/ethnic quotas. tion, and institutions that shelter selectors from sanctions undermine accountability for diversity. In the next chapters, I test implications of this framework. In chapter 3, I test whether institutions affect observers’ prior beliefs. In chapter 4, I test how institutions affect the interpretation of information and blame attribution. Chapter 5 addresses gendered patterns of replacement, which is consistent with selectors responding to popular pressure to maintain minimum levels of diversity on the bench. Chapters 6 and 7 offer extensions to an alternative institution and intersectionally disadvantaged judges, respectively.

  • Removal of a General Partner (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to, or the dissolution of, a General Partner, such General Partner shall be deemed to be removed automatically; provided, however, that if a General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death or dissolution of, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of, a partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of the General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners. The Limited Partners may not remove the General Partner, with or without cause. (b) If a General Partner has been removed pursuant to this Section 7.4 and the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.3, such General Partner shall promptly transfer and assign its General Partnership Interest in the Partnership to the substitute General Partner approved by the Limited Partners in accordance with Section 7.3(b) and otherwise admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 7.2. At the time of assignment, the removed General Partner shall be entitled to receive from the substitute General Partner the fair market value of the General Partnership Interest of such removed General Partner as reduced by any damages caused to the Partnership by such General Partner. Such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the General Partner and the Limited Partners holding a majority of the Percentage Interests of all Limited Partners within 10 days following the removal of the General Partner. If the parties are unable to agree upon an appraiser, the removed General Partner and the Limited Partners holding a majority of the Percentage Interests of all Limited Partners each shall select an appraiser. Each such appraiser shall complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest within 30 days of the General Partner’s removal, and the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two appraisals; provided, however, that if the higher appraisal exceeds the lower appraisal by more than 20% of the amount of the lower appraisal, the two appraisers, no later than 40 days after the removal of the General Partner, shall select a third appraiser who shall complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest no later than 60 days after the removal of the General Partner. In such case, the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two appraisals closest in value. (c) The General Partnership Interest of a removed General Partner, during the time after default until transfer under Section 7.4(b), shall be converted to that of a special Limited Partner; provided, however, such removed General Partner shall not have any rights to participate in the management and affairs of the Partnership, and shall not be entitled to any portion of the income, expense, profit, gain or loss allocations or cash distributions allocable or payable, as the case may be, to the Limited Partners. Instead, such removed General Partner shall receive and be entitled only to retain distributions or allocations of such items that it would have been entitled to receive in its capacity as General Partner, until the transfer is effective pursuant to Section 7.4(b). (d) All Partners shall have given and hereby do give such consents, shall take such actions and shall execute such documents as shall be legally necessary, desirable and sufficient to effect all the foregoing provisions of this Section.
