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.
Settlement of Units Subject to Section 8 below, as soon as practicable after any date on which Units vest (but no later than the 15th day of the third calendar month following the applicable vesting date), the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to you (or to your personal representative or your designated beneficiary or estate in the event of your death, as applicable) one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Unit. Delivery of the Shares shall be effected by the issuance of a stock certificate to you, by an appropriate entry in the stock register maintained by the Company’s transfer agent with a notice of issuance provided to you, or by the electronic delivery of the Shares to a brokerage account, and shall be subject to the tax withholding provisions of Section 7 and compliance with all applicable legal requirements as provided in Section 17(c) of the Plan, and shall be in complete satisfaction and settlement of such vested Units. The Company will pay any original issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of Shares to you pursuant to this Agreement, and all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection therewith. If the Units that vest include a fractional Unit, the Company shall round the number of vested Units to the nearest whole Unit prior to issuance of Shares as provided herein.
Fractional Interests In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.
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 Sections 4.1(c) and 10.2(b), 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 Sections 4.1(c) and 10.2(b), 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 Sections 4.1(c) and 10.2(b), additional Units may be Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units or other Units.
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.
Default Not Exceeding 10% of Firm Units or Option Units If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase the Firm Units or the Option Units, if the Over-allotment Option is exercised, hereunder, and if the number of the Firm Units or Option Units with respect to which such default relates does not exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of Firm Units or Option Units that all Underwriters have agreed to purchase hereunder, then such Firm Units or Option Units to which the default relates shall be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder.
Preferred Units Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of Section 14.3 are not applicable to Preferred Units or the holders of Preferred Units. Holders of Preferred Units shall have no voting, approval or consent rights under this Article XIV. Voting, approval and consent rights of holders of Preferred Units shall be solely as provided for and set forth in Article XVI.
Fractional Units For purposes of this Agreement, any fractional LTIP Units that vest or become entitled to distributions pursuant to the Partnership Agreement shall be rounded as determined by the Company or the Partnership; provided, however, that in no event shall such rounding cause the aggregate number of LTIP Units that vest or become entitled to such distributions to exceed the total number of LTIP Units set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement.
Membership Units The Company is initially organized with One (1) class of Membership Interests, designated in Units, which Units are initially the only class of equity in the Company. The Units shall have no par value and shall be of a single class with identical rights. The Company shall have a first lien on the Units of any Member for any debt or liability owed by such Member to the Company. Additional and different classes of Membership Interests represented by different Units may be created and issued to new or existing Members on such terms and conditions as the Governors may determine. Such additional and different classes may have different rights, powers and preferences (including, without limitation, voting rights and distribution preferences), which may be superior to those of existing Members. Members shall have no preemptive rights to acquire additional or newly created Units.
Dividend Equivalent Units On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a) the product of (i) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii) the total number of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
