SECTION 12.04 Rank
The Series B Preferred Mirror Units shall rank, with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event:
(a) junior to all of the Partnership’s existing and future indebtedness and any equity securities, including Preferred Units, that the Partnership may authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities shall rank senior to the Series B Preferred Mirror Units with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event;

SECTION 12.06 Distribution Rate
If the distribution rate per annum on the 6.50% Series B Preferred Units issued by the Issuer shall increase pursuant to Section 17.6 of the Issuer Limited Partnership Agreement, then the distribution rate per annum on the Series B Preferred Mirror Units shall increase by the same amount beginning on the same date as set forth in Article XVII of the Issuer Limited Partnership Agreement.
SECTION 12.07 Voting
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Act, the Series B Preferred Mirror Units shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other voting, consent or approval rights or powers, and the vote, consent or approval of the Series B Holders shall not be required for the taking of any Partnership action. The Partnership may, from time to time, issue additional Series B Preferred Mirror Units.

Upon a Dissolution Event, or in the event that any Group Partnership liquidates, dissolves or winds up, no Group Partnership may declare or pay or set apart payment on its Junior Units unless the outstanding liquidation preference on all outstanding GP Mirror Units of each Group Partnership have been repaid via redemption or otherwise.
(b) Upon a Dissolution Event, after each Series B Holder receives a payment equal to the positive balance in its Capital Account (to the extent such positive balance is attributable to ownership of the Series B Preferred Mirror Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary Income to the Series B Holders pursuant to Section 5.5(e) of this Agreement for the taxable year in which the Dissolution Event occurs), such Series B Holder shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Partnership.
(c) For the purposes of this Section 12.08, a Dissolution Event shall not be deemed to have occurred in connection with (i) a Substantially All Merger or a Substantially All Sale whereby a Group Partnership is the surviving Person or the Person formed by such transaction is organized under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction and has expressly assumed all of the obligations under the GP Mirror Units, (ii) the sale or disposition of a Group Partnership (whether by merger, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets) if such sale or disposition is not a Substantially All Merger or Substantially All Sale, (iii) the sale or disposition of a Group Partnership should such Group Partnership not constitute a “significant subsidiary” of the Issuer under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, (iv) an event where the Series B Preferred Units of the Issuer have been fully redeemed pursuant to the terms of the Issuer Limited Partnership Agreement or if proper notice of redemption of the Series B Preferred Units of the Issuer has been given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the Series B Preferred Units of the Issuer called for redemption have been set aside for payment pursuant to the terms of the Issuer Limited Partnership Agreement, (v) transactions where the assets of the Group Partnership being liquidated, dissolved or wound up are immediately contributed to another Group Partnership, and (vi) with respect to a Group Partnership, a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Reorganization.
