Common use of Redemption at the Option of the Operating Partnership Clause in Contracts

Redemption at the Option of the Operating Partnership. (a) The 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units are not redeemable prior to the Redemption Date (as defined below). (b) (i) On and after the occurrence of a Permissible Transaction (as defined below), or (ii) absent the occurrence of a Permissible Transaction, on or after January 1, 2011, the Operating Partnership may, at its option, at any time thereafter, redeem the 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units, in whole or in part, at a redemption price per 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Unit equal to the Liquidation Preference, plus accrued and unpaid distributions and accumulation thereon, if any, to and including the date of redemption (the "Redemption Price"). In the case of a redemption following the occurrence of a Permissible Transaction, the Redemption Price shall be payable in cash. In the case of a redemption absent the occurrence of a Permissible Transaction, the Redemption Price payable following January 1, 2011 shall be payable in the form of interests in one or more properties identified by the holders of the 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units and otherwise agreed upon by the Operating Partnership and such holders. (c) In the case of a redemption of the 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units for interests in one or more properties, to the extent that the value of such property or properties is greater than the Redemption Price, then the holders of the 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units shall pay the difference to the Operating Partnership in cash. If the holders and the Operating Partnership are unable to agree upon such properties, such redemption shall not occur and the 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units shall remain outstanding in full force and effect as if no Redemption Notice had been given. (d) The Operating Partnership shall give the holders of the 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units written notice ("Redemption Notice") of a redemption pursuant to this Section 5 not less than 30 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date"), at the address of such holders on the books of the Operating Partnership (provided that failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for a redemption except as to the holder to whom the Operating Partnership has failed to give such notice or whose notice was defective). Each such notice shall state, as appropriate: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the number of 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units to be redeemed; (3) the Redemption Price; (4) the place or places at which certificates for such units are to be surrendered; and (5) that distributions on the 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate on such Redemption Date. On or before the Redemption Date, the Operating Partnership shall have (A) set apart the funds necessary to pay the Redemption Price on all the 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units then called for redemption or (B) delivered, or cause to be delivered, to the holders of the 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units, all instruments, documents and agreements that are necessary and appropriate to consummate such redemption for interests in one or more properties. The 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units for which the Redemption Price has been paid shall no longer be deemed outstanding from and after the date of payment and all rights with respect to such units shall forthwith cease and terminate. In case fewer than all of the outstanding 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units are called for redemption, such units shall be redeemed pro rata, as nearly as practicable, among all holders of 7.75%/8.00% Preferred Units.
