Overriding Provisions (a) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of this Agreement (including any prohibited indirect Transfers) shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, null and void ab initio, and the provisions of Sections 10.05 and 10.06 shall not apply to any such Transfers. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person to whom a Transfer is made or attempted in violation of this Agreement shall not become a Member and shall not have any other rights in or with respect to any rights of a Member of the Company with respect to the applicable Units. The approval of any Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such approval in any other or future instance. The Manager shall promptly amend the Schedule of Members to reflect any Permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article X.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 10.01 and Article XI and Article XII), in no event shall any Member Transfer any Units to the extent such Transfer would:
(i) result in the violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable federal, state or foreign Laws;
(ii) cause an assignment under the Investment Company Act;
(iii) in the reasonable determination of the Manager, be a violation of or a default (or an event that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in an acceleration of any obligation under any Credit Agreement to which the Company or the Manager is a party; provided that the payee or creditor to whom the Company or the Manager owes such obligation is not an Affiliate of the Company or the Manager;
(iv) be a Transfer to a Person who is not legally competent or who has not achieved his or her majority of age under applicable Law (excluding trusts for the benefit of minors);
(v) reasonably be expected to create a material risk that the Company could be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or could be taxed as a corporation pursuant to Section 7704 of the Code or any successor provision thereto under the Code (as determined in the sole discretion of the Manager); or
(vi) reasonably be expected to create a material risk that the Company would have more than one hundred (100) partners, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1) (determined pursuant to the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)) (as determined in the sole discretion of the Manager); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that in determining whether a Transfer creates a material risk that the Company would have more than one hundred (100) partners, the Manager may assume in its sole discretion the admission of any number of future additional Members.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Member that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code Transfer any Units, unless such Member and the transferee have delivered to the Company, in respect of the relevant Transfer, written evidence that all required withholding under Section 1446(f) of the Code will have been done and duly remitted to the applicable taxing authority or duly executed certifications (prepared in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations or other authorities) of an exemption from such withholding.
(d) Without limiting any of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Member shall Transfer any Units during the 2021 taxable year of the Company unless such Transfer either (x) qualifies as a “block transfer” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e)(2), or (y) is disregarded pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.7704-1(e)(1)(ii).
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Member (or such Member’s estate) attempts to Transfer any Units in connection with the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of such Member, such Transfer shall, to the extent it is in violation of this Agreement (unless otherwise waived by the Manager), be void ab initio and the provisions of Sections 10.05 and 10.06 shall not apply to any such Transfers, such that such Member (or such Member’s estate) remains the owner of the applicable Units.
(f) In the event that, notwithstanding this Section 10.07 or any other provision in this Agreement, a Transfer is required pursuant to applicable Law, immediately prior to such Transfer, the Units subject to such Transfer shall be redeemed in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.01 and Section 11.05, as applicable, such that in no event shall the transferee in respect of such Transfer become a Member of the Company at any time.
Plan Provisions In addition to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Award is subject to and governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, as may be amended from time to time, which are hereby incorporated by reference. Any terms used herein with an initial capital letter shall have the same meaning as provided in the Plan, unless otherwise specified herein. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control.
Section 409A Provisions The payment of Shares under this Agreement is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code by reason of the short-term deferral exemption set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit hereunder that constitutes “deferred compensation” to the Participant under Section 409A is otherwise payable or distributable to the Participant under the Plan or this Agreement solely by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control or due to the Participant’s Disability or separation from service, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or separation from service meet the definition of a change in ownership or control, disability, or separation from service, as the case may be, in Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise (including, but not limited to, a payment made pursuant to an involuntary separation arrangement that is exempt from Section 409A under the “short-term deferral” exception). Any payment or distribution that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and that otherwise would be made to a Participant who is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code on account of separation from service instead shall be made on the earlier of the date that is six months and one day after the date of the specified employee’s separation from service and the specified employee’s death.
