3.                                      Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a)                                 Exercise Procedure.  The Holder may cause the Partnership to issue all of the Warrant Units issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant during the Exercise Period.  The Holder may exercise this Warrant only upon the surrender of this Warrant to the Partnership at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with an Exercise Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Agreement”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Units to be issued) and executed.  No purchase price shall be payable in connection with the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(b)                                 Settlement of Warrant Units.  Upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, the Partnership shall deliver to the Holder, subject to Section 3(c), a Certificate or Certificates representing a number of each class of Junior Securities (including Common Units but excluding Excluded Junior Securities) equal to ten percent (10%) of the Junior Securities Deemed Outstanding for such class as of the Exercise Date (collectively, the “Warrant Units”).

 

(c)                                  Delivery of Certificates.  Upon receipt by the Partnership of the Exercise Agreement and surrender of this Warrant (in accordance with Section 3(a)) the Partnership shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder a Certificate or Certificates representing the Warrant Units, as adjusted for fractional units, if any, pursuant to Section 3(d).  Certificates shall be transmitted by the Partnership’s transfer agent by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit / Withdrawal at Custodian system if the Partnership is a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Exercise Agreement.  The Certificate or Certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Agreement and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 6 below, such other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Agreement.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Certificate or Certificates of Warrant Units shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Units for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

(d)                                 Fractional Units.  The Partnership shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Unit upon exercise of any Warrant.  If the exercise of this Warrant would result in the issuance of fractional Warrant Units, then such fractional Warrant Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Warrant Unit (with a fractional Warrant Unit equal to or greater than 0.5 Warrant Unit rounded to the next higher Warrant Unit).

 

(e)                                  Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Units; Payment of Taxes.  With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Partnership hereby represents, covenants and agrees:

 

(i)                                     This Warrant is, and shall be upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

 

(ii)                                  All Warrant Units issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Partnership shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Units are, when issued, validly issued, fully paid (to the extent required under applicable law and the Partnership Agreement) and non-assessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act), issued free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges (other than restrictions on transfer in the Partnership Agreement or arising under applicable securities laws).

 

(iii)                               The Partnership shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Units are, when issued, issued without violation by the Partnership of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which Common Units may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Partnership upon each such issuance).

 

(iv)                              The Partnership shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Warrant Units, when issued upon such exercise, to be listed or admitted to trading on any domestic securities exchange upon which Common Units are listed at the time of such exercise.

 

(v)                                 The Partnership shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Units upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Partnership shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Units to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Partnership the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Partnership that such tax has been paid.

 

4











 

(f)                                   Conditional Exercise.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a sale of the Partnership (pursuant to a merger, sale of units, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction or registered offering.

 

4.                                      Effect of Certain Events on Warrant Units.

 

(a)                                 Adjustment to Warrant Units Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Partnership, (ii) reclassification of Partnership Interests (other than a change as a result of a unit dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of units), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction, in each case which entitles the holders of any class of Junior Securities other than Excluded Junior Securities to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) units, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for such class of Junior Securities (each such transaction, an “Adjustment Transaction”), this Warrant shall, immediately after such Adjustment Transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Units then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of units or other securities or assets of the Partnership or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such Adjustment Transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such Adjustment Transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Units then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to any units, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4(a) shall similarly apply to successive Adjustment Transactions. The Partnership shall not effect any such Adjustment Transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Partnership) resulting from such Adjustment Transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such units, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Adjustment Transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4(a), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such Adjustment Transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 3 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 4(a) with respect to this Warrant.

 

(b)                                 Notices.  In the event:

 

5











 

(i)                                     the Partnership shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common Units of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Units or of any other subscription rights or warrants;

 

(ii)                                  the Partnership shall authorize the distribution to all holders of Common Units of evidences of its indebtedness or assets;

 

(iii)                               of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Units by the Partnership;

 

(iv)                              of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Partnership; or

 

(v)                                 the Partnership proposes to consummate any Adjustment Transaction.

 

then, and in each such case, the Partnership shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable expected effective date for the event, or promptly in the case of events for which there is no record date, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice stating (x) the date as of which the holders of record of Common Units to be entitled to receive any such rights, options, warrants or distribution are to be determined, (y) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender offer or exchange offer for Common Units and the amount per unit and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Units, or (z) the date on which any such Adjustment Transaction, tender offer, exchange offer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or consummated, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common Units shall be entitled to exchange such units for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such Adjustment Transaction, tender offer, exchange offer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 4(b) or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any action..

 

5.                                      Transfer of Warrant.  Subject to the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Partnership at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes described in Section 3(e)(v) in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery and, if required, such payment, the Partnership shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

 

6.                                      Holder Not Deemed a Unitholder; Limitations on Liability.  Except as described in the Partnership Agreement or the GP LLC Agreement, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Units to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise

 

6











 

of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or distributions or be deemed the holder of any Limited Partner Interest for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a unitholder of the Partnership or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any partnership action (whether any reorganization, issue of limited partner interests, reclassification of limited partner interests, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends, distributions or subscription rights, or otherwise.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a unitholder of the Partnership, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Partnership or by creditors of the Partnership.  Notwithstanding this Section 6, (i) the Partnership shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the unitholders of the Partnership generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the unitholders and (ii) the Partnership shall not amend or modify its Partnership Agreement in a manner adverse to any rights or benefits applicable to the Warrant Units thereunder.

 

7.                                      Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

 

(a)                                 Replacement of Warrant on Loss.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement with an affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Partnership, the Partnership, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Units as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Partnership for cancellation.

 

(b)                                 Division and Combination of Warrant.  Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, this Warrant may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant, subsequently combined with other Warrants, upon the surrender of this Warrant or Warrants to the Partnership at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys.  Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, the Partnership shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.  Such new Warrant or Warrants shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant or Warrants and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Units as the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

 

8.                                      No Impairment.  The Partnership shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Limited Partnership or Partnership Agreement, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid

 

7











 

or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the Holder in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant.

 

9.                                      Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act; Legend.  The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 9 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Units to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act.  All Warrant Units issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act, any applicable conditions for the removal of the legend are otherwise satisfied or the legend is no longer necessary) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.  These securities may not be sold or offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder, in each case in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions, and in the case of a transaction exempt from registration, such securities may only be transferred if the transfer agent for such securities has received documentation satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under the Securities Act.”

 

10.                               Opinion of Counsel.  The Partnership shall provide an Opinion of Counsel prior to the issuance of this Warrant, which shall state that (i) the issuance of this Warrant solely in the manner contemplated herein and the issuance of the Warrant Units upon exercise solely in the manner contemplated herein and the applicable Warrant, as applicable, are registered under the Securities Act or are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that such counsel shall express no opinion as to any subsequent sale or resale and (ii)  the Junior Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon such issuance, be validly issued, fully paid (to the extent required under applicable law and the Partnership Agreement) and non-assessable.

 

11.                               Covenants of the Partnership.

 

(a)                                 Warrant Register.  The Partnership shall keep and properly maintain at its principal executive offices books for the registration of the Warrant and any transfers thereof.  The Partnership may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Warrant is registered on such register as the Holder thereof for all purposes, and the Partnership shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except any assignment, division, combination or other transfer of the Warrant effected in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

(ii)                                  Pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Partnership Agreement and in connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the Partnership will make an adjustment to the Capital Accounts of the Partnership’s partners and the Carrying Values of the Partnership’s properties in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5)(v).

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto.  No waiver by the Partnership or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving.  No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver.  No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

 

20.                               Severability.  If any term or provision of this Warrant is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Warrant or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

21.                               Governing Law.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware. Any action against any party relating to the foregoing shall be brought in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Delaware over any such action. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any

such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

22.                               Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Warrant is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

23.                               Counterparts.  This Warrant may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.  A signed copy of this Warrant delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Warrant.

 

24.                               No Strict Construction.  This Warrant shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted.
