Each Subordinated Unit will convert into one Common Unit at the end of the subordination period, which will end once the Issuer meets certain financial tests set forth in the agreement of limited partnership of the Issuer. These financial tests require the Issuer to have earned and paid the minimum quarterly distribution and arrearages (if any) on all of its outstanding units for any three consecutive four quarter periods or have earned and paid 150% of the minimum quarterly distribution on all outstanding units for one four quarter period. Also, if GP LP is removed as general partner of the Issuerunder circumstances where cause does not exist and units held by affiliates of the general partner are not voted in favor of such removal, the subordinated units will convert into common units on a one-for-one basis. The Subordinated Units have no expiration date. |
