Without limiting the foregoing, the term “sale, exchange, transfer or disposition” by the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to include, and the prohibition shall extend to: (a) any direct or indirect disposition by the Operating Partnership of any Gain Limitation Property (or any direct or indirect interest therein) that is subject to Section 704(c)(l)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; and (b) any distribution by the Operating Partnership to a Protected Partner that is subject to Section 737 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
