I. AMENDMENT. Effective at (and subject to the occurrence of) the
Effective Time (as defined in Section 2 below), Section 4.2 of the Partnership
Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new subsection 4.2.7 at
the end of such Section:
"4.2.7 PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND UNITS IN CONNECTION WITH
SERIES A CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK.
4.2.7.1 Pursuant to the provisions of, and upon the Capital
Contribution called for by, Section 4.2.2, there are hereby from time to time
issued to the General Partner additional Partnership Interests and,
corresponding thereto, a number of Partnership Units (the "SERIES A PREFERRED
UNITS") equal to the number of shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Stock of the General Partner, as classified and
designated by Articles Supplementary (the "ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY") filed with
the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation on November 13, 1997
(the "SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES"), from time to time outstanding. The Series
A Preferred Units shall have such designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties, including
rights, powers and duties senior to Limited Partnership Interests, as further
provided in Section 4.2.7.2 and Section 4.2.7.3) below and as shall be
determined by the General Partner, subject to Illinois law, including, without
limitation, with respect to (a) the allocations of items of Partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, (b) the right to share in Partnership
distributions, and (c) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the
Partnership, all such that the economic interests represented by the Series A
Preferred Units are substantially similar to the designations, preferences and
other rights of the Series A Preferred Shares. To the extent necessary to
give effect to the preceding sentence, (i) the Series A Preferred Units shall
have preference over other Partnership Units with respect to distributions of
Available Cash as provided in clause (i) of Section 5.1, and (ii) the General
Partner shall, with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, have priority
over other Partners and Assignees as to profits, losses and distributions as
authorized by Section 8.4; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing contained in this
Amendment shall be deemed to modify the preferences, rights, powers and
duties of the Class B Units as set forth in the Second Amendment to the
Partnership Agreement, dated as of December 18, 1996.
4.2.7.2 The General Partner shall be entitled to receive
preferential distributions on the Series A Preferred Units corresponding to
the dividends to which holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled.
As set forth in the Articles Supplementary, the dividends to which holders of
Series A Preferred Shares are entitled are as follows (capitalized terms used
in the following subsections (a) through (d) and not defined in this Amendment
are used as defined in the Articles Supplementary):
(a) The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive, when, as and if authorized and declared by the Board out of funds
legally available for that purpose, cumulative dividends payable in cash in an
amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the base dividend of $0.50 per
quarter (the "Base Rate") or (ii) the cash dividends declared on the number of
shares of Common Stock, or portion thereof, into which a share of Series A
Preferred Stock would then be convertible, without regard to any time
restrictions on the convertibility of the Series A Preferred Stock. The amount
referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (a) with respect to each
succeeding Dividend Period shall be determined as of the applicable Dividend
Payment Date by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock, or portion
thereof calculated to the fourth decimal point, into which a share of Series A
Preferred Stock would then be convertible (without regard to any time
restrictions on the convertibility of the Series A Preferred Stock) at the
opening of business on such Dividend Payment Date (based on the Conversion
Price then in effect) by the aggregate cash dividends payable or paid for such
Dividend Period in respect of a share of Common Stock outstanding as of the
record date for the dividend payable on the Common Stock for such Dividend
Period. If (A) the Corporation pays a cash dividend on the Common Stock after
the Dividend Payment Date for the corresponding Dividend Period and (B) the
dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for such Dividend Period calculated
pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (a), taking into account the Common
Stock dividend referenced in clause (A), exceeds the dividend previously
declared on the Series A Preferred Stock for such Dividend Period, the
Corporation shall pay an additional dividend to the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock on the date that the Common Stock dividend referenced in
clause (A) is paid, in an amount equal to the difference between the dividend
calculated pursuant to clause (B) and the dividends previously declared on the
Series A Preferred Stock with respect to such Dividend Period. Such dividends
shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period
or Periods such dividends are declared or there are funds of the Corporation
legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the Dividend Payment Dates, commencing on the first
Dividend Payment Date after the Issue Date. Each such dividend shall be
payable in arrears to the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock,
as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of
business on such record date as is fixed by the Board which shall be not more
than 60 days prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date and, within such
60-day period, shall be the same date as the record date for the regular
quarterly dividend payable on the Common Stock for such Dividend Period (or,
if there is no such record date for the Common Stock, then such date as the
Board may fix). Accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends for any past
Dividend Periods may be authorized or declared and paid at any time, without
reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such
record date as may be fixed by the Board which shall be not more than 45 days
prior to the corresponding payment date.
(b) The amount of dividends payable per share of Series A
Preferred Stock for the Initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter
than a full Dividend Period, shall be computed ratably on the basis of a 360-
day year of twelve 30-day months. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock,
in excess of cumulative dividends as herein provided on the Series A Preferred
Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in
respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock
which may be in arrears.
(c) So long as any of the Series A Preferred Stock is
outstanding, except as described in the immediately following sentence, no
dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the
Corporation and no other distribution of cash or other property shall be
declared or made directly or indirectly by the Corporation with respect to
any class or series of Parity Stock for any period unless all accumulated,
accrued and unpaid dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and
paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for
payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Series A Preferred
Stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such
payment is not set apart for payment as provided above, all dividends declared
on the Series A Preferred Stock and all dividends declared on any other class
or series of Parity Stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the
respective amounts of dividends accumulated, accrued and unpaid on the Series
A Preferred Stock and on such Parity Stock.
(d) So long as any of the Series A Preferred Stock is
outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends or distributions paid in, or
options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase, Junior Stock) shall
be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation and no other
distribution of cash or other property shall be declared or made directly or
indirectly by the Corporation with respect to any class or series of Junior
Stock, nor shall any Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired
(other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Stock made
for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or
any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made
available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any Junior Stock) directly
or indirectly by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for
Junior Stock), nor shall any other cash or other property otherwise be paid or
distributed to or for the benefit of any holder of Junior Stock in respect
thereof directly or indirectly by the Corporation unless in each case (i) all
dividends (including all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends) have been
or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient
for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods
with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and all past dividend periods
with respect to any Parity Stock and (ii) a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof has been or contemporaneously is paid or set apart for payment of the
dividend for the current Dividend Period with respect to the Series A
Preferred Stock and the current dividend period with respect to any Parity
Stock.
4.2.7.3 Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, the General Partner shall be
entitled to receive preferential distributions with respect to the Series A
Preferred Units corresponding to the liquidation preference to which holders
of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the General Partner. As set forth in the
Articles Supplementary, the liquidation preference to which holders of Series
A Preferred Shares are entitled is as follows (capitalized terms used in the
following subsections (a) and (b) and not defined in this Amendment are used
as defined in the Articles Supplementary.):
(a) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or
distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus)
shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive $33.34 per share of
Series A Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal
to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated, accrued and
unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, if any; but
such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. Until the holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid the Liquidation Preference in
full, plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared)
accumulated, accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to
such holders, no payment shall be made to any holder of Junior Stock upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If, upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the
Corporation, or the proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to pay in full such preferential
amount and liquidating payments on any other class or series of Parity Stock,
then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock ratably
in proportion to the respective amounts which would be payable on such Series
A Preferred Stock and any such other Parity Stock if all amounts payable
thereon were paid in full.
(b) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, after payment has been made in full to the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock as provided in this Section 4.2.7.3, any
other series or class of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms
thereof, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or
distributed, and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity
Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.
(c) For purposes of this Section 4.2.7.3, (i) a consolidation
or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more corporations, (ii) a
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or
(iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.
2. EFFECTIVENESS. The amendment set forth in Section 1 shall become
effective at the time of the first issuance of Series A Preferred Shares (the
"Effective Time").
3. CONTINUING EFFECTIVENESS. As herein amended, the Partnership
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and
confirmed in all respects.
4. GOVERNING LAW. This Amendment shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of Illinois.
5. DEFINED TERMS. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein are
used as defined in the Partnership Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, the General Partner of the
Partnership, has executed this Amendment to the Partnership Agreement as of
the date written above.
