Description

The partners are engaged in a particular business and the purpose of this agreement is to provide for the sale by a partner during a partner's lifetime, or by a deceased partner's estate, of his interest in the partnership, and for the purchase of such interest by the partnership at a price fairly established; and to provide all or a substantial part of the funds for the purchase. A Tennessee Buy Sell Agreement Between Partners of a Partnership is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions under which one partner can sell their ownership interest in a partnership to the other partner(s). This agreement helps to maintain stability and continuity within the partnership and ensures that the remaining partner(s) have the opportunity to purchase the departing partner's share. The Buy Sell Agreement typically contains several key provisions and clauses. These may include: 1. Sale Trigger Events: This section specifies the events that can trigger the buy-sell agreement, such as the death, disability, retirement, or voluntary withdrawal of a partner from the partnership. 2. Purchase Price Determination: The agreement outlines the method to determine the purchase price for the departing partner's share. It may establish a predetermined formula, an independent appraisal, or negotiation between partners. 3. Payment Terms: This clause establishes the terms of payment for the purchasing partner(s). It can specify whether the payment will be made through a lump sum, installment payments, or a combination of both. 4. Funding Mechanism: This section outlines how the purchasing partner will finance the buyout. It may involve using cash, loans, or insurance proceeds, among other methods. 5. Restrictions on Transfer: The agreement may include provisions that restrict the transferring partner's ability to sell their ownership interest to third parties or competitors. 6. Right of First Refusal: This clause grants the remaining partner(s) the first opportunity to purchase the departing partner's share before considering offers from outside buyers. 7. Dispute Resolution: It is common for the agreement to include provisions for resolving any disputes that arise during the implementation of the buy-sell agreement, such as through mediation or arbitration. In Tennessee, there are no specific types of Buy Sell Agreements between partners of a partnership outlined by state law. However, there can be variations in the terms and conditions based on the unique needs of the partnership and the preferences of the partners. Therefore, different arrangements may exist depending on the specific partnership's goals, business structure, and nature of their operations. It is important for partners entering into this agreement to consult with legal professionals experienced in partnership agreements and Tennessee state laws to ensure the agreement is drafted accurately and aligned with their intentions.
