Transfers Generally (a) No Membership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article IV and Article V. No Transfer of any Membership Interests shall be made if such Transfer would (i) violate the then-applicable federal or state securities laws or rules and regulations of the Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Transfer, (ii) terminate the existence or qualification of the Company under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, (iii) cause the Company to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed) or (iv) constitute a breach or violation of, or a change of control or event of default under, any credit agreement, loan agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other similar instrument or document governing indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any Group Member. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of a Membership Interest not made in accordance with this Article IV and Article V shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, null and void.
(b) No Membership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except for (i) a Permitted Transfer in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Article IV or (ii) Transfers in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article V and this Article IV. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Designating Member’s right to designate a Representative, as provided in Section 9.02(b), shall not be assigned or Transferred (including in a Permitted Transfer) except as part of a Transfer permitted under the terms of this Agreement to one Transferee holding a number of Units constituting an Ownership Percentage of not less than ten percent (10%) provided that such Designating Member expressly elects in writing delivered to the Company prior to such Transfer that such Designating Member will Transfer such right to designate a Representative to such Transferee in connection with such Transfer; provided, however, in no event shall SemStream be entitled to Transfer its right to designate a Representative.

(c) No Transfer (including a Permitted Transfer) may be undertaken unless and until the following have occurred: (i) the proposed Transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and provided to the Board its name, address, taxpayer identification number and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax returns or reasonably requested by the Board and (ii) the Member proposing to make such Transfer shall have delivered to the Company an Opinion of Counsel (reasonably acceptable as to form, substance and identity of counsel to the Company) that no registration under the Securities Act is required in connection with such Transfer (unless the requirement of an opinion is waived by the Board).
(d) By acceptance of the Transfer of any Membership Interest in accordance with this Article IV and Article V, the Transferee of a Membership Interest shall be admitted as a Member with respect to the Membership Interests so Transferred to such Transferee when any such Transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company.
(e) Each Member making a Transfer shall be obligated to pay his or its own expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer, and the Company shall not have any obligation with respect thereto. Subject to Section 5.02(d), each Member making a Transfer shall pay, or reimburse the Company for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Transfer and the admission of the Transferee as a Member, including the legal fees incurred in connection with the legal opinions referred to in Section 4.01(c).
