The General Partner may issue additional Series C-1 Preferred Units from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, and in connection with any such additional issuance the General Partner shall revise Exhibit A to the Agreement to reflect the total number of Series C-1 Preferred Units then issued and outstanding.
B. Distributions. (i) The holders of the then outstanding Series C-1 Preferred Units, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the General Partner, distributions payable in cash at the rate per annum of $3.25 per Series C-1 Preferred Unit (the "Annual Distribution Rate"). Such distributions shall be cumulative from the date of issuance and shall be payable quarterly, when, as and if authorized and declared by the General Partner, in arrears on each Distribution Payment Date, commencing on the first Distribution Payment Date after the date of issuance of the Series C-1 Preferred Units; provided that distribution amount per Series C-1 Preferred Unit paid in respect of the Initial Distribution Period shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (ii) below. Distributions are cumulative from the most recent Distribution Payment Date to which distributions have been paid. Accrued and unpaid distribution for any past Distribution Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Distribution Payment Date.
(ii) The amount of dividends payable for each full Distribution Period for the Series C-1 Preferred Units shall be computed by dividing the Annual Distribution Rate by four. The amount of distributions payable for the Initial Distribution Period, or any other period shorter or longer than a full Distribution Period, on the Series C-1 Preferred Units shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in such period and a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The holders of the then outstanding Series C-1 Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, property or securities, in excess of cumulative distributions, as herein provided, on
the Series C-1 Preferred Units. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on the Series C-1 Preferred Units that may be in arrears.
(iii) So long as any Series C-1 Preferred Units are outstanding, no distributions, except as described in the immediately following sentence, shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any series or class or classes of Parity Units for any period unless full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series C-1 Preferred Units for all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior to the distribution payment date on such class or series of Parity Units, except in the case of distributions on the Series B-2 Restricted Preferred Units to the extent not paid due to a lack of funds in the Nongovernmental Account. When distributions are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all distributions declared upon Series C-1 Preferred Units and all distributions declared upon any other series or class or classes of Parity Units shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of distributions accumulated and unpaid on the Series C-1 Preferred Units and such Parity Units, except in the case of distributions on the Series B-2 Restricted Preferred Units to the extent not paid due to a lack of funds in the Nongovernmental Account.
(iv) So long as any Series C-1 Preferred Units are outstanding, no distributions (other than distributions paid solely in Junior Units or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase Junior Units) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment or other distribution declared or made upon Junior Units, nor shall any Junior Units be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Junior Units made in respect of a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of Common Shares made for purposes of and in compliance with requirements of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the General Partner or any subsidiary, or as permitted under Article VI of the Declaration of Trust of the General Partner), for any consideration (or any moneys to be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such Junior Units) by the General Partner, directly or indirectly (except by conversion into or exchange for Junior Units), unless in each case (a) the full cumulative distributions on all outstanding Series C-1 Preferred Units and any other Parity Units of the Partnership shall have been paid or set apart for payment for all past Distribution Periods with respect to the Series C-1 Preferred Units and all past distribution periods with respect to such Parity Units, except to the extent that distributions on the Series B-2 Restricted Preferred Units are not then able to be paid owing to a lack of funds in the Nongovernmental Account, and (b) sufficient funds shall have been paid or set apart for the payment of the distribution for the current Distribution Period with respect to the Series C-1 Preferred Units and any Parity Units, except to the extent that distributions on the Series B-2 Restricted Preferred Units are not then able to be paid owing to a lack of funds in the Nongovernmental Account.
C. Liquidation Preference. (i) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership or the General Partner, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Partnership shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Units, holders of the Series C Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per Series C-1 Preferred Unit (the "Liquidation Preference") plus an amount equal to all distributions (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to the holders of such units; but the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any further payment. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership or the General Partner, the assets of the Partnership, or proceeds thereof, distributable to the holders of the Series C Preferred Units shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other Parity Units, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred Units and the holders of any such other Parity Units ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such Series C-1 Preferred Units and any such other Parity Units if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section C, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Partnership or the General Partner with one or more entities, (ii) a statutory share exchange by the Partnership or the General Partner and (iii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Partnership's or the General Partner's assets, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Partnership or General Partner.
(ii) Subject to the rights of the holders of Partnership Units of any series or class or classes of shares ranking on a parity with or prior to the Series C-1 Preferred Units upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the General Partner or the Partnership, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred Units as provided in this Section, any series or class or classes of Junior Units shall, subject to any respective terms and provisions applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred Units shall not be entitled to share therein.
D. Redemption of the Series C-1 Preferred Units. (i) The Series C-1 Preferred Units shall not be redeemable prior to November 24, 2003. On and after November 24, 2003, the General Partner may, at its option, cause the Partnership to redeem the Series C-1 Preferred Units for Class A Units, in whole or in part, as set forth herein, subject to the provisions described below (the "Redemption Date").
(ii) Upon redemption of Series C-1 Preferred Units by the General Partner on the Redemption Date, each Series C-1 Preferred Unit so redeemed shall be converted into a number of Class A Units equal to the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Series C-1 Preferred Units being redeemed divided by the Conversion Price as of the opening of business on the Redemption Date.
Upon any redemption of Series C-1 Preferred Units, the Partnership shall pay in cash any accrued and unpaid distributions in arrears for any Distribution Period ending on or prior to the Redemption Date. If the Redemption Date falls after the record date for a Distribution Payment Date and before the related Distribution Payment Date, the holder of the Series C-1 Preferred Units to which such redemption applies shall be entitled to such distributions notwithstanding the redemption of such Series C-1 Preferred Units. Except as provided above, the Partnership shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid distributions, whether or not in arrears, on Series C-1 Preferred Units called for redemption or on the Class A Units issued upon such redemption.
(iii) If full cumulative distributions on the Series C-1 Preferred Units and any other series or class or classes of Parity Units of the Partnership have not been paid or declared and set apart for payment, except to the extent that such distributions or amounts distributable on the Series B-2 Restricted Preferred Units may not be payable due to a lack of funds in the Nongovernmental Account, the Series C-1 Preferred Units may not be redeemed in part and the Partnership may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire Series C-1 Preferred Units.
(vi) As promptly as practicable after the surrender of the certificates for any such Series C-1 Preferred Units so redeemed, such Series C-1 Preferred Units shall be exchanged for certificates of Class A Units and any cash (without interest thereon) as provided herein for which such Series C-1 Preferred Units have been redeemed. If fewer than all the Series C-1 Preferred Units represented by any certificate are redeemed, then new certificates representing the unredeemed Series C-1 Preferred Units shall be issued without cost to the holders thereof.
(v) No fractional Partnership Unit shall be issued upon redemption of Series C-1 Preferred Units. Instead of any fractional interest in a Class A Unit that would otherwise be deliverable upon the redemption of Series C-1 Preferred Units, the Partnership shall pay to the holders of the Series C Preferred Units an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) based upon the Current Market Price of Common Shares of the General Partner on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.
(vi) The Partnership covenants that any Class A Unit issued upon redemption of the Series C-1 Preferred Units shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
E. Conversion.
The holders of Series C-1 Preferred Units shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such Series C-1 Preferred Units into Class A Units, converted as follows:
(i) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section
E, the holders of Series C-1 Preferred Units shall have the right, at their
option, at any time and from time to time, to convert all or any portion of such
Series C-1 Preferred Units into the number of fully paid and non-assessable
Class A Units obtained by dividing the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such
Series C-1 Preferred Units by the Conversion Price (as in effect at the time and
on the date provided for in the last paragraph of paragraph (ii) of this Section
E) by surrendering such Series C-1 Preferred Units to the Partnership to be
converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in paragraph (ii) of
this Section E; provided, however, that the right to convert Series C-1
Preferred Units called for redemption pursuant to Section D hereof shall
terminate at the close of business on the Redemption Date fixed for such
redemption, unless the Partnership shall default in making payment of the Class
A Units and any cash payable in lieu of fractional Partnership Units or
otherwise upon such redemption under Section D hereof.
(ii) In order to exercise the conversion right, the holder of each Series C-1 Preferred Unit to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such Series C-1 Preferred Unit to the Partnership.
The holders of Series C-1 Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive the distribution payable on such Series C-1 Preferred Units on a Distribution Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof following the record date for such Distribution Payment Date and prior to such Distribution Payment Date. However, Series C-1 Preferred Units surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on the record date of any Distribution Payment Date and the opening of business on the corresponding Distribution Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the distribution payable on such Series C-1 Preferred Units on such Distribution Payment Date, to the extent such distribution amount has been received, or when such amount is thereafter received, by the holder of the Series C-1 Preferred Units. Except as provided above, the Partnership shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid distributions, whether or not in arrears, on converted Series C-1 Preferred Units or for distributions on the Class A Units issued upon such conversion.
As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for
Series C-1 Preferred Units as aforesaid, the General Partner shall receive a
certificate or certificates for the number of full Class A Units issuable upon
the conversion of Series B Preferred Units surrendered in accordance with the
provisions of this Section E, and any fractional interest in respect of a Class
A Unit arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in paragraph
(iii) of this Section E.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the certificates for Series C-1 Preferred Units shall have been surrendered (and if applicable, payment of an amount equal to the
distribution payable on such Series C-1 Preferred Units) and received by the Partnership as aforesaid, and the General Partner shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Class A Units represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time and on such date unless the stock transfer books of the Partnership shall be closed on that date, in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such partnership transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such Series C-1 Preferred Units shall have been surrendered and received by the General Partner.
(iii) No fractional Partnership Unit shall be issued upon conversion of the Series C-1 Preferred Units. Instead of any fractional interest in a Class A Unit that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a Series C-1 Preferred Unit, the Partnership shall pay to the holder of such Series C-1 Preferred Unit an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of Common Shares of the General Partner on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion.
(iv) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in a manner comparable to the adjustment of the conversion price applicable to the Series A Preferred Shares of the General Partner as provided in Section 7(d) of the Articles Supplemental ($3.25 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares) of the Declaration of Trust of the General Partner.
F. Ranking. (i) Any class or series of Partnership Units shall be deemed to rank:
(a) prior to the Series C-1 Preferred Units, as to the payment of distributions and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the General Partner or the Partnership, if the holders of such class or series of Preferred Units shall be entitled to the receipt of distributions or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Series C-1 Preferred Units;
(b) on a parity with the Series C-1 Preferred Units, as to the payment of distributions and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the General Partner or the Partnership, whether or not the distribution rates, distribution payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per Partnership Unit be different from those of the Series C-1 Preferred Units, if the holders of such Partnership Units of such class or series and the Series C-1 Preferred Units shall be entitled to the receipt of distributions and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid distributions per Partnership Unit or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other, except to the extent that such distributions or amounts distributable on the
Series B-2 Restricted Preferred Units may not be payable due to a lack of funds in the Nongovernmental Account ("Parity Units"); and
(c) junior to the Series C-1 Preferred Units, as to the payment of distributions or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the General Partner or the Partnership, if such class or series of Partnership Units shall be Common Partnership Units or if the General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of Series C-1 Preferred Units, shall be entitled to receipt of distribution or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Partnership Units of such class or series, and such class or series of Partnership Units shall not in either case rank prior to the Series C-1 Preferred Units ("Junior Units").
(ii) The Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units shall be Parity Units with respect to the Series C-1 Preferred Units and the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred Units, the Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units shall be entitled to the receipt of distributions and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid distributions per Partnership Unit or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other, except in the case of distributions on the Series B-2 Restricted Preferred Units to the extent not payable due to a lack of funds in the Nongovernmental Account and except that:
(a) For so long as the Class C Units are outstanding, the Series C-1 Preferred Units shall not rank senior to the Class C Units as to preferential distributions or redemption or voting rights and shall receive: (i) accumulated and unpaid distributions pari passu with distributions made to the holders of Class C Units pursuant to Subsection 5.1.B(iv) of the Agreement and (ii) other distributions pari passu with distributions made to the holders of Class C Units pursuant to Subsection 5.1.B(v) of the Agreement.
(b) For so long as the Class D Units are outstanding, the Series C-1 Preferred Units shall not rank senior to the Class D Units as to preferential distributions or redemption or voting rights. For so long as the Class D Units are outstanding (and the Class C Units are no longer outstanding), the Series C-1 Preferred Units shall receive: (i) accumulated and unpaid distributions pari passu with distributions made to the holders of any outstanding Class D Units pursuant to Subsection 5.1.B(ii) of the Agreement and (ii) other distributions pari passu with distributions made to the holders of any outstanding Class D Units pursuant to Subsection 5.1.B(iii) of the Agreement.
