Transfers of Common Units Clause Samples

The "Transfers of Common Units" clause defines the rules and procedures governing how ownership interests, known as common units, can be sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred by holders. Typically, this clause outlines any restrictions on transfers, such as requiring prior approval from the company or other unit holders, and may specify conditions under which transfers are permitted or prohibited. Its core practical function is to maintain control over the ownership structure of the entity, prevent unwanted parties from acquiring interests, and ensure compliance with regulatory or contractual obligations.
Transfers of Common Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Transfers of Common Units may only be made by Limited Partners (x) in accordance with the other provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions in Section 8.4, except as expressly set forth in this Section 8.1(a) in respect of Transfers by Original Related Trusts), and (y) subject to Section 2.13(g). During the Restricted Period, no Limited Partner shall be permitted to Transfer Common Units unless, immediately following such Transfer, the relevant Individual Limited Partner continues to hold a number of Common Units no less than 10% of the Common Units of such Partner that have vested on or before the date of such Transfer, without regard to dispositions, or such greater percentage determined by the General Parner in its sole discretion (such requirements, the “Minimum Retained Ownership Requirements”). A Limited Partner may not Transfer all or any of such Partner’s Units without the prior written approval of the General Partner, which approval may be granted or withheld, with or without reason, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that, without the prior written approval of the General Partner, (i) an Original Related Trust may Transfer its Interest (including any unvested Units) in accordance with its Related Trust Supplementary Agreement to the relevant Subsequent Related Trust (provided, however, that such Subsequent Related Trust remains subject to the same vesting requirements in accordance with Section 8.4 as the transferring Original Related Trust had been before its Withdrawal), (ii) the Related Trust of any Individual Limited Partner may, at any time, subject to Section 2.13(g), Transfer such Related Trust’s Common Units (including any unvested Units) to such Individual Limited Partner as authorized by the terms of the relevant trust agreement (provided, however, that such Individual Limited Partner remains subject to the same vesting requirements in accordance with Section 8.4 as the transferring Related Trust had been before the Transfer), and (iii) any Limited Partner may, at any time, subject to the Minimum Retained Ownership Requirements and Section 2.13(g), and provided further that the relevant Units have vested in accordance with Section 8.4 (other than in the case of any unvested Tag-Along Securities or unvested Drag-Along Securities), (A) Transfer any of such Partner’s Units in accordance with the Exchange Agreem...

Subject to this Section 3.2(b) and Section 3.2(d), on or after FERC Approval, Common Units may be Transferred only if such Transfer constitutes a Permitted Summit Holdco Sell-Down. Any such Transfer permitted by the foregoing sentence may be in any amount by the Holder thereof to any Person or Persons, subject further to any restrictions, or other terms and conditions, the Board deems necessary or appropriate to impose on the transferee of Common Units in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Holder or Holders of Common Units be entitled to Transfer any Common Units if such Transfer would constitute a Change of Control unless such Transfer and the related Change of Control is conducted in strict compliance with Section 6.8(b)(xii) and Section 10.2(c).

Transfers of Common Units. No holder of Common Units may Transfer any interest in any Common Units, except Transfers (a) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.04 or (b) approved in writing by the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Transfer” shall not include an event that does not terminate the existence of such Limited Partner under applicable state law (or, in the case of a trust that is a Limited Partner, does not terminate the trusteeship of the fiduciaries under such trust with respect to all the Limited Partner Interests of such trust that is a Limited Partner). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.01 shall not apply to any Common Redemption or Direct Exchange pursuant to Article XI.

Related to Transfers of Common Units

  • Transfers of Units (a) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between the Managing Member and the applicable Member and reflected in the books and records of the Company or as otherwise provided in this Article IX, no holder of Units may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, distribute, contribute or otherwise dispose of (whether directly or indirectly (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by Transfer or issuance of any Capital Stock of any Member that is not a natural person), whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law) any interest (legal or beneficial) in any Units (a “Transfer”), except Exchanges pursuant to and in accordance with Article XII or Transfers pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9.1(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Member may pledge its Units to secure obligations of Pubco, the Company or its subsidiaries and that the secured party upon foreclosure or any Transferee may be admitted as a Member. (b) The restrictions contained in Section 9.1(a) shall not apply, subject to Section 9.6, to any Transfer of Units by any Member (i) to its Affiliates, (ii) to its members, shareholders, partners or other equity holders, whether as a distribution, a liquidating distribution or otherwise, or (iii) to a trust solely for the benefit of such Member and such Member’s Family Group (or a re-Transfer of such Units by such trust back to such Member upon the revocation of any such trust) or pursuant to the applicable laws of descent or distribution among such Member’s Family Group (each of clauses (i)-(iii), an “Exempt Transfer”); provided that (x) the restrictions contained in this Article IX other than the restrictions contained in Section 9.1(a) shall apply to an Exempt Transfer and (y) the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to apply to the Units after any Exempt Transfer and each transferee of Units shall agree in writing, prior to and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such Exempt Transfer, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, without modification or condition, subject only to the consummation of such Exempt Transfer. Upon the Exempt Transfer of Units, the transferor will deliver written notice to the Company, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of such transferee(s) and shall include original counterparts of this Agreement in a form acceptable to the Managing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto shall avoid the provisions of this Agreement by making one or more Exempt Transfers to one or more transferees and then disposing of all or any portion of such party’s interest in such transferee if such disposition would result in such transferee ceasing to be a Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.1(a), any Member shall be permitted to make an Exempt Pledge; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any exercise by a Lender of its rights to acquire or Transfer any Common Units subject to an Exempt Pledge shall constitute a Transfer of Common Units subject to the restrictions contained in this Article IX and shall not be an Exempt Transfer. (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition to any Transfer: (i) if the transferor of Units who proposes to transfer such Units (or if such transferor is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the first direct or indirect beneficial owner of such transferor that is not a disregarded entity (the “Transferor’s Owner”)) is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then such transferor (or Transferor’s Owner, if applicable) shall complete and provide to both of the transferee and the ​ Company, a duly executed affidavit in the form provided to such transferor by the Company, certifying, under penalty of perjury, that the transferor (or Transferor’s Owner, if applicable) is not a foreign person, nonresident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as such terms are defined under the Code and applicable United States Treasury Regulations) and the transferor’s (or Transferor’s Owner’s, if applicable) United States taxpayer identification number, or (ii) if the transferor of Units who proposes to transfer such Units (or if such transferor is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Transferor’s Owner) is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then such transferor and transferee shall jointly provide to the Company written proof reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member that any applicable withholding tax that may be imposed on such transfer (including pursuant to Sections 864 and 1446 of the Code) and any related tax returns or forms that are required to be filed, have been, or will be, timely paid and filed, as applicable. (d) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary in this Section 9.1, each Member may Transfer Units in Exchanges pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement. (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, it shall be a condition precedent to any Transfer of any Unit that, concurrently with such Transfer such transferring Member shall also Transfer to the transferee an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock.

  • Transfers of Membership Interests 8.1. A Member may withdraw from the Company at any time by giving Notice of withdrawal to the Manager at least 180 calendar days before the effective date of withdrawal. Withdrawal will not release a Member from any obligations and liabilities under this Agreement accrued or incurred before the effective date of withdrawal. A withdrawing Member will divest the Member’s entire Membership Interest before the effective date of withdrawal in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Article VIII. 8.2. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, a Member will not Transfer any part of the Member’s Membership Interest in the Company, whether now owned or later acquired, unless: (a) the other Members unanimously approve the transferee’s admission to the Company as a Member on that Transfer; and (b) the Membership Interest to be Transferred, when added to the total of all other Membership Interests Transferred in the preceding 12 months, will not cause the termination of the Company under the Code. No Member may Encumber or permit or suffer any Encumbrance of all or any part of the Member’s Membership Interest in the Company unless the Encumbrance has been approved in writing by the Manager. Approval may be granted or withheld in the Manager’s sole discretion. Any Transfer or Encumbrance of a Membership Interest without that approval will be void. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a Member who is a natural person may Transfer all or any portion of his or her Membership Interest to any revocable trust created for the benefit of the Member, or any combination between or among the Member, the Member’s spouse, and the Member’s issue, provided that the Member retains a beneficial interest in the trust and all of the Voting Interest included in the Membership Interest. A Transfer of a Member’s beneficial interest in the trust, or failure to retain the Voting Interest, will be deemed a Transfer of a Membership Interest. 8.3. If a Member wishes to Transfer any or all of the Member’s Membership Interest in the Company under a Bona Fide Offer (as defined below), the Member will give Notice to the Manager at least 30 days in advance of the proposed sale or Transfer, indicating the terms of the Bona Fide Offer and the identity of the offeror. The Company and the other Members will have the option to purchase the Membership Interest proposed to be transferred at the price and on the terms provided in this Agreement. If the price for the Membership Interest is other than cash, the fair value in dollars of the price will be as established in good faith by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Bona Fide Offer” means an offer in writing setting forth all relevant terms and conditions of purchase from an offeror who is ready, willing, and able to consummate the purchase and who is not an Affiliate of the selling Member. For 30 days after the Notice is given, the Company will have the right to purchase the Membership Interest offered, on the terms stated in the Notice, for the lesser of: (a) the price stated in the Notice (or the price plus the dollar value of noncash consideration, as the case may be); and (b) the price determined under the appraisal procedures set forth in Section 8.8. If the Company does not exercise the right to purchase all of the Membership Interest, then, with respect to the portion of the Membership Interest that the Company does not elect to purchase, that right will be given to the other Members for an additional 30-day period, beginning on the day that the Company’s right to purchase expires. Each of the other Members will have the right to purchase, on the same terms, a part of the interest of the offering Member in the proportion that the Member’s Percentage Interest bears to the total Percentage Interests of all of the Members who choose to participate in the purchase; provided, however, that the Company and the participating Members may not, in the aggregate, purchase less than the entire interest to be sold by the offering Member. If the Company and the other Members do not exercise their rights to purchase all of the Membership Interest, the offering Member may, within 90 days from the date the Notice is given and on the terms and conditions stated in the Notice, sell or exchange that Membership Interest to the offeror named in the Notice. Unless the requirements of Section 8.2 are met, the offeror under this Section 8.3 will become an Assignee, and will be entitled to receive only the share of Profits or other compensation and the return of Capital Contribution to which the assigning Member would have been entitled.

  • Transfers of Limited Partnership Interests 9.1 Restrictions on Transfer of Limited Partnership Interests. (a) No Limited Partner may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any portion of his Limited Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s economic rights as a Limited Partner, whether voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise (collectively, a “Transfer”) without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Any such purported Transfer undertaken without such consent shall be considered to be null and void ab initio and shall not be given effect. (b) No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted Transfer of all of its Partnership Interest pursuant to this Article 9. Upon the permitted Transfer or redemption of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

  • Transfers of Notes In the event that the holder of any Note (including any Lender) shall transfer such Note, it shall immediately advise Administrative Agent and Company of such transfer, and Administrative Agent and Company shall be entitled conclusively to assume that no transfer of any Note has been made by any holder (including any Lender) unless and until Administrative Agent and Company shall have received written notice to the contrary. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by all of the other parties hereto, no Lender shall, by reason of the transfer of a Note or otherwise, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder and any such transfer shall be in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each transferee of any Note shall take such Note subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent and Company of written notice of such transfer, by each previous holder of such Note, and, except as expressly otherwise provided in such transfer, Administrative Agent and Company shall be entitled conclusively to assume that the transferee named in such notice shall hereafter be vested with all rights and powers under this Agreement with respect to the Pro Rata Share of the Loans of the Lender named as the payee of the Note which is the subject of such transfer.
