After the admission of such assignee or transferee as a Substituted Partner, such transferor Partner shall only be primarily and directly liable under this Agreement or otherwise for any obligations or liabilities accruing prior to the effective time of the admission of such Substituted Partner, unless such transferor Partner is released in writing from such obligations or liabilities by the General Partner and such release is Approved by the Partners.
(b) Any Partner making or offering to make a transfer of all or any part of his or its interest in the Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and all other Partners from and against any costs, damages, claims, suits, or fees suffered or incurred by the Partnership or any such other Partner arising out of or resulting from any claims by the transferee of such Partnership interest or any offerees of such Partnership interest in connection with such transfer or offer.
Further Restrictions on Transfer. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, in no event may any transfer or assignment of any Partnership Interest be made (a) to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (b) to any Person whose status as a Partner would have an adverse effect for income tax purposes on the Partnership or any of the continuing Partners (including, without limitation, a constructive termination of the Partnership pursuant to Code Section 708(b)(1)(B)); (c) in violation of any provision of any mortgage or trust deed (or the note or bond secured thereby) constituting a lien against any Partnership property, or other instrument, document or agreement to which the Partnership is a party or otherwise bound; (d) in violation of applicable law; or (e) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, separate and apart from all other components of said Partnership Interest.
Further Restrictions on Transfer.
