Common use of Class A Unit Transactions Clause in Contracts

Class A Unit Transactions. If the Partnership or the General Partner shall be a party to any Class A Unit Transaction (as defined below), then the General Partner shall, immediately prior to the Class A Unit Transaction, exercise its right to cause a Class RS LTIP Unit Mandatory Conversion with respect to all or any portion of the Class RS LTIP Units as the General Partner shall determine in its discretion, without regard to whether such Class RS LTIP Units are then eligible for conversion under Section 4.7.B, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the Class A Unit Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Class A Unit Transaction if the assets of the Partnership were sold at the Class A Unit Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed to the Partnership Units in the context of the Class A Unit Transaction (in which case the Class RS LTIP Unit Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Class A Unit Transaction). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Class A Unit Transaction” means any transaction or a series of related transactions (including without limitation an Extraordinary Transaction, merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self-tender offer for all or substantially all of the Class A Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, but excluding any Class A Unit Transaction which constitutes an Adjustment Event) as a result of which Class A Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of such Class A Units shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof.
