Units Interests in the Partnership shall be represented by Units. The Units initially are comprised of one Class: Class A Units. The General Partner may establish, from time to time in accordance with such procedures as the General Partner shall determine from time to time, other Classes, one or more series of any such Classes, or other Partnership securities with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing Classes and series of Units or other Partnership securities), as shall be determined by the General Partner, including (i) the right to share in Profits and Losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may or shall be required to redeem the Units or other Partnership securities (including sinking fund provisions); (v) whether such Unit or other Partnership security is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Unit or other Partnership security will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Total Percentage Interest as to such Units or other Partnership securities; and (viii) the right, if any, of the holder of each such Unit or other Partnership security to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such Units or other Partnership securities. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to “Units” shall include the Class A Units and any other Classes that may be established in accordance with this Agreement. All Units of a particular Class shall have identical rights in all respects as all other Units of such Class, except in each case as otherwise specified in this Agreement.
Restricted Share Units Restricted Share Units means Restricted Share Units granted to Participant under the Plan subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of issuance.
Performance Share Units The Committee may, in its discretion, grant to Executive performance share units subject to performance vesting conditions (collectively, the “Performance Units”), which shall be subject to restrictions on their sale as set forth in the Plan and an associated Performance Unit Grant Letter.
Fractional Units Class A Shareholders holding a number of Subject Class A Shares which would entitle such holders to receive less than one whole BPY Unit pursuant to this Agreement shall receive cash in lieu of fractional units. Fractional BPY Units shall not be distributed to Class A Shareholders or credited to book-entry accounts. With respect to any delivery of BPY Units to a Class A Shareholder under this Agreement, BAM shall promptly instruct the transfer agent for the BPY Units to, as soon as practicable, (a) determine the number of whole BPY Units and fractional BPY Units allocable to each holder of record or beneficial owner of Class A Shares entitled to receive BPY Units at such time, (b) aggregate all such fractional units into whole BPY Units and sell the whole BPY Units obtained thereby in open market transactions, in each case, at then-prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional BPY Units, and (c) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per BPY Unit after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for tax purposes and any brokerage fees incurred in connection with these sales of fractional BPY Units. Neither BAM nor the Rights Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional BPY Units. Neither BAM nor the Rights Agent will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional BPY Units. The transfer agent of the BPY Units acting on behalf of the applicable party will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional BPY Units and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such units, provided that neither the transfer agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional BPY Units are sold shall be Affiliates of BAM.
Performance Units Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) hereof, the Committee may in its discretion grant Performance Units to any Eligible Person and shall evidence such grant in an Award Agreement that is delivered to the Participant which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Award.
Additional Units The General Partner may from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion admit any Person as an additional Limited Partner of the Partnership (each such Person, if so admitted, an “Additional Limited Partner” and, collectively, the “Additional Limited Partners”). A Person shall be deemed admitted as a Limited Partner at the time such Person (i) executes this Agreement or a counterpart of this Agreement and (ii) is named as a Limited Partner in the books of the Partnership. Each Substitute Limited Partner shall be deemed an Additional Limited Partner whose admission as an Additional Limited Partner has been approved in writing by the General Partner for all purposes hereunder. Subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing requirements and Section 4.1(c), the General Partner is hereby expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue additional Units for such consideration and on such terms and conditions, and to such Persons, including the General Partner, any Limited Partner or any of their Affiliates, as shall be established by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, in each case without the approval of any other Partner or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 4.1(c), the General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Units (A) upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of any debt or other securities issued by the Partnership, (B) for less than fair market value or no consideration, so long as the General Partner concludes that such issuance is in the best interests of the Partnership and its Partners, and (C) in connection with the merger of any other Person into the Partnership if the applicable merger agreement provides that Persons are to receive Units in exchange for their interests in the Person merging into the Partnership. The General Partner is hereby expressly authorized to take any action, including without limitation amending this Agreement without the approval of any other Partner, to reflect any issuance of additional Units. Subject to Section 4.1(c), additional Units may be Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units or other Units.
Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units Except as provided in Section 3, if the Employee terminates employment prior to the satisfaction of the vesting requirements set forth in Section 2(a) above, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited. The period of time during which the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Award are forfeitable is referred to as the “Restricted Period.”
Stock Units As used herein, the term “Stock Unit” shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock (“Share”) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Award Agreement. The Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such Stock Units vest pursuant to this Award Agreement. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind.
Common Units The capital structure of the Company shall consist of one class of common interests (the "Common Units"). The Company shall have authority to issue one thousand (1,000) Common Units. Each Common Unit shall have one vote and shall otherwise be identical with each other Common Unit in every respect.
Performance Shares The Performance Shares earned by the Grantee will be determined and delivered to the Grantee as soon as practicable subsequent to the determination of the Corporation’s financial results for the Performance Cycle and approval by the Plan Administrator. The corresponding shares of the Corporation’s common stock will be purchased on the open market.
