Terms Used In Washington Code 25.10.836

  • Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law.

Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.

(2) A partner entitled to dissent and obtain payment for the partner’s partnership interest under this article may not challenge the merger creating the partner’s entitlement unless the merger fails to comply with the procedural requirements imposed by this chapter, Title 23B RCW, chapter 25.05 RCW, chapter 25.15 RCW, or the partnership agreement, or is fraudulent with respect to the partner or the limited partnership.
(3) The right of a dissenting partner to obtain payment of the fair value of the partner’s partnership interest shall terminate upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:
(a) The proposed merger is abandoned or rescinded;
(b) A court having jurisdiction permanently enjoins or sets aside the merger; or
