Successors, Assigns and Transferees (a) Subject to Section 2.03, the rights and obligations of each party hereto may not be assigned, in whole or in part, without the written consent of (i) the Company and (ii) Investor Holdco, or, if Investor Holdco is no longer a Holder of Registrable Securities, then the Majority Holders; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights and obligations of Investor Holdco set forth herein may be assigned, in whole or in part, by Investor Holdco, to any transferee of Registrable Securities held by Investor Holdco (including the members of Investor Holdco and their Affiliates) and to any Affiliate of a member of Investor Holdco that otherwise acquires Company Shares or Company Share Equivalents in accordance with this Agreement, including in accordance with Section 2.03) (each Person to whom the rights and obligations are assigned in compliance with this Section 4.08 is a “Permitted Assignee” and all such Persons, collectively, are “Permitted Assignees”); provided further, that such transferee shall only be admitted as a party hereunder upon its, his or her execution and delivery of a joinder agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if such Person were a party hereto (together with any other documents the Company reasonably determines are necessary to make such Person a party hereto), whereupon such Person will be treated as a Holder for all purposes of this Agreement, with the same rights, benefits and obligations hereunder as the transferring Holder with respect to the transferred Registrable Securities (except that if the transferee was a Holder prior to such transfer, such transferee shall have the same rights, benefits and obligations with respect to the such transferred Registrable Securities as were applicable to Registrable Securities held by such transferee prior to such transfer). Nothing herein shall operate to permit a transfer of Registrable Securities otherwise restricted by the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Investor Holdco, as amended from time to time, or any other agreement to which any Holder may be a party.
(b) If the Company is a party to any merger, amalgamation, consolidation, exchange or other similar transaction (a “Conversion Event”) pursuant to which Registrable Securities are converted into or exchanged for securities or the right to receive Equity Securities of any other Person (“Conversion Securities”), the issuer of such Conversion Securities (a “Conversion Security Issuer”) shall assume (in a writing delivered to the Company and the Investor Holders), with respect to such Conversion Securities, all rights and obligations of the Company hereunder (which assumption shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder to the extent that any Registrable Securities issued by the Company continue to be outstanding and held by a Holder following a Conversion Event) and this Agreement shall apply with respect to such Conversion Securities, mutatis mutandis. The Company will not effect any Conversion Event unless the issuer of the Conversion Securities complies with this Section 4.08(b).
Transferees Any permitted transferee to whom rights under this Agreement are transferred shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument by which such transferee agrees to be bound by the obligations imposed upon the Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were a Purchaser hereunder.
Permitted Transferees (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.8, each Limited Partner shall, subject to Section 7.1(b) and Section 7.1(c), have the right to Transfer (but not to substitute the transferee as a substitute Partner in such Partner’s place, except in accordance with Section 7.3), by a written instrument, all or any part of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Group Interest or Class B Units to a Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Permitted Transferee is such because it was an Affiliate of the transferring Limited Partner at the time of such Transfer or the Transfer was a Permitted Transfer under clause (a) of the definition herein of “Permitted Transfer” and, at any time after such Transfer, such Permitted Transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of such Limited Partner or such Transfer or such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify under such clause (a) (a “Non-Qualifying Transferee”), such Transfer shall be deemed to not be a Permitted Transfer and shall be subject to Section 7.8. Pursuant to Section 7.8, such transferring Limited Partner or such transferring Limited Partner’s legal representative shall deliver the First Refusal Notice promptly after the time when such transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of such transferring Limited Partner or such Transfer or such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify under clause (a) of the definition herein of “Permitted Transfer”, and such transferring Limited Partner shall otherwise comply with the terms of Section 7.8 with respect to such Transfer; provided, that the purchase price for such Transfer for purposes of Section 7.8 shall be the Agreed Value of the Partnership Group Interests subject to the Transfer as of the close of business on the date the transferee ceased to be an Affiliate of such transferring Limited Partner or such Transfer or such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify under clause (a) of the definition herein of “Permitted Transfer” (such date, the “Non-Qualifying Date”). In the event the Non-Qualifying Date is not a Business Day, the Non-Qualifying Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the first Business Day following such original Non-Qualifying Date. If such transferring Limited Partner fails to comply with all the terms of Section 7.8, such Transfer shall be null and void and of no force and effect. No Non-Qualifying Transferee shall be entitled to receive any distributions from the Partnership with respect to any period on or after the Non-Qualifying Date and any distributions made in respect of the Partnership Interests with respect to any period on or after the Non-Qualifying Date and held by such Non-Qualifying Transferee shall be paid to the Limited Partner who attempted to transfer such Partnership Group Interests or otherwise to the rightful owner thereof as reasonably determined by the General Partner.
(b) Unless and until admitted as a substitute Limited Partner pursuant to Section 7.3, a transferee of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Group Interests or Class B Units, in whole or in part, shall be an assignee with respect to the Transferred Partnership Interest comprising the Transferred part of such Partnership Group Interests or Class B Units and shall not be entitled to become, or to exercise the rights of, a Limited Partner, including the right to vote, the right to require any information or accounting of the Partnership’s business, or the right to inspect the Partnership’s books and records. Such transferee shall only be entitled to receive, to the extent of the Partnership Interests Transferred to such transferee, the share of distributions and profits to which the transferor would otherwise be entitled with respect to the Transferred Partnership Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(b), the transferor shall have the right to vote such Transferred Partnership Interest until the transferee is admitted to the Partnership as a substitute Limited Partner with respect to the Transferred Partnership Interest.
