Class A Shares and Class B Shares to be Issued. (a) PubCo and the Blue Owl Operating Group Entities covenant that all Class A Shares or Class B Shares (as applicable) issued upon an Exchange will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and shall be transferred free and clear of any Liens, other than restrictions provided in the PubCo Charter and the Investor Rights Agreement or pursuant to the Securities Act or any applicable foreign or state securities laws. PubCo shall at all times keep available, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, out of its authorized but unissued Class A Shares and Class B Shares (as applicable), such number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares (as applicable) that shall be issuable upon the Exchange of all outstanding Blue Owl Units. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude PubCo from satisfying its obligations with respect to an Exchange by delivery of Class A Shares or Class B Shares (as applicable) that are held in treasury of PubCo. (b) Except as otherwise provided in the Investor Rights Agreement, PubCo and the Blue Owl Operating Group Entities covenant and agree that, if a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective and available for Class A Shares or Class B Shares (as applicable) to be delivered with respect to any Exchange, Class A Shares or Class B Shares (as applicable) that have been registered under the Securities Act shall be delivered in respect of such Exchange. If any Exchange in accordance with this Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required registration has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the exchanging Blue Owl Limited Partners requesting such Exchange, PubCo and the Blue Owl Operating Group Entities shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly facilitate such Exchange pursuant to any reasonably available exemption from such registration requirements. PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Class A Shares required to be delivered upon Exchange prior to such delivery upon each National Securities Exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the outstanding Class A Shares may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery. (c) Class A Shares or Class B Shares (as applicable) issued upon an Exchange may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws as PubCo in good faith determines (based on advice of counsel) to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws.
