Related to Substituted Members and General Transfer Restrictions
General Transfer Restrictions The right of any Unitholder to Transfer any Shares held by it is subject to the restrictions set forth below. (a) Each Unitholder acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be Transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each Unitholder covenants that the Shares will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state and foreign securities laws. In connection with any Transfer of the Shares other than a Transfer (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require the Unitholder to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the Unitholder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such Transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. (b) Each Unitholder agrees to the affixing, so long as is required by this Section 2.1, of the following legend on any certificate or book-entry position evidencing any of the Shares: Certificates or book-entry positions evidencing the Shares shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement described in Section 3.1) covering the resale of the Shares, (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or if the Shares are transferrable by a person who is not an Affiliate of the Company or the applicable Unitholder pursuant to Rule 144 without any volume or manner of sale restrictions thereunder, (iii) if Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company, six (6) months following the Closing, provided, however, that in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii), above, the Unitholder provides the Company with customary legal representation letters reasonably acceptable to the Company or (iv) if the Unitholder provides the Company with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Shares, the Holder of such securities shall be entitled to receive from the Company upon a written request in writing, without expense, new securities of like tenor not bearing the legend set forth herein. (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following registration of the Shares, each Unitholder agrees not to sell any Shares issued to such Unitholder if the sales of such shares would, when combined with the sale of any other Shares by such Unitholder in any one (1) day period, exceed five percent (5%) of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding such date of sale; provided, however, that if the aggregate number of Shares represents less than fifty percent (50%) of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange over the five (5) trading days preceding the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Average Volume”), such resale volume limitations shall not apply. If the aggregate number of Shares issued to a Unitholder represents more than the Average Volume, the Company may place such legends or stock transfer restrictions on the Shares as shall be appropriate for enforcing the provisions of this Section 2(c).
Additional Transfer Restrictions (a) No transfer of the Residual Certificates shall be made unless the Servicer has consented in writing to such transfer. No Residual Certificate may be transferred to a Disqualified Organization. The Servicer will not consent to any proposed transfer (i) to any investor that it knows is a Disqualified Organization or (ii) if the transfer involves less than an entire interest in a Residual Certificate unless (A) the interest transferred is an undivided interest or (B) the transferor or the transferee provides the Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel obtained at its own expense to the effect that the transfer will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any related REMIC. The Servicer's consent to any transfer is further conditioned the Servicer's receipt from the proposed transferee of (x) a Residual Transferee Agreement, (y) a Benefit Plan Affidavit, and (z) either (A) if the transferee is a Non-U.S. Person, an affidavit of the proposed transferee in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 8-A to Exhibit 8 to the Standard Terms and a certificate of the transferor stating whether the Class R Certificate has "tax avoidance potential" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-3(a)(2), or (B) if the transferee is a U.S. Person, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 8-B to Exhibit 8 to the Standard Terms. In addition, if a proposed transfer involves a Private Certificate, (1) the Servicer or the Trustee shall require that the transferor and transferee certify as to the factual basis for the registration or qualification exemption(s) relied upon to exempt the transfer from registration under the Act and all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, and (2) if the transfer is to be made within three years after the acquisition thereof by a non-Affiliate of the Company from the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, the Servicer or the Trustee also may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration or qualification under the Act and applicable state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Company, the Trustee or the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of the Residual Certificates or their transfer by a broker or dealer, if such broker or dealer was the initial transferee. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of the prerequisites described above, the Servicer may withhold its consent to, or the Trustee may refuse to recognize, a transfer of a Residual Certificate, but only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of disqualification of a related REMIC as a REMIC or the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC. Any attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be null and void and shall not be recognized by the Trustee. (b) If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by a related REMIC as a result of the transfer of the Residual Certificates or any beneficial interest therein, in violation of the restrictions referenced herein, the Transferor shall pay such tax or cost and, if such tax or costs are not so paid, the Trustee, upon notification from the Servicer, shall pay such tax or reporting cost with amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of such Residual Certificates. In that event, neither the Transferee nor the transferor shall have any right to seek repayment of such amounts from the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust, the REMIC or the holders of any other Certificates, and none of such parties shall have any liability for payment of any such tax or reporting cost. In the event that a Residual Certificate is transferred to a Disqualified Organization, the Servicer shall make, or cause to be made, available the information necessary for the computation of the excise tax imposed under section 860E(e) of the Code.
Restrictions on Transfer of Limited Partnership Interests (a) Subject to the provisions of 9.2(b), (c) and (d), no Limited Partner may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its Limited Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s economic rights as a Limited Partner, whether voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise (collectively, a “Transfer”) without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Any such purported transfer undertaken without such consent shall be considered to be null and void ab initio and shall not be given effect. The General Partner may require, as a condition of any Transfer to which it consents, that the transferor assume all costs incurred by the Partnership in connection therewith. (b) No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted Transfer (i.e., a Transfer consented to as contemplated by clause (a) above or clause (c) below or a Transfer pursuant to Section 9.5 below) of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to this Article 9 or pursuant to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.4. Upon the permitted Transfer or redemption of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner. (c) Subject to 9.2(d), (e) and (f) below, a Limited Partner may Transfer, with the consent of the General Partner, all or a portion of its Partnership Units to (i) a parent or parent’s spouse, natural or adopted descendant or descendants, spouse of such descendant, or brother or sister, or a trust created by such Limited Partner for the benefit of such Limited Partner and/or any such Person(s), of which trust such Limited Partner or any such Person(s) is a trustee, (ii) a corporation controlled by a Person or Persons named in (i) above, or (iii) if the Limited Partner is an entity, its beneficial owners. (d) No Limited Partner may effect a Transfer of its Limited Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, if, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, such proposed Transfer would otherwise violate any applicable federal or state securities or blue sky law (including investment suitability standards). (e) No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units, in whole or in part, may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, the transfer would result in the Partnership’s being treated as an association taxable as a corporation (other than a qualified REIT subsidiary within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code), (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, or (iii) such transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. (f) No transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)), without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that as a condition to such consent the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to exchange or redeem for the Cash Amount any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code. (g) Any Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Article 9 shall be void and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or recognized by, the Partnership. (h) Prior to the consummation of any Transfer under this Article 9, the transferor and/or the transferee shall deliver to the General Partner such opinions, certificates and other documents as the General Partner shall request in connection with such Transfer.
Substituted Members Subject to the provisions of Article X hereof, in connection with the Permitted Transfer of a Unit hereunder, the Permitted Transferee shall become a Substituted Member on the effective date of such Transfer, which effective date shall not be earlier than the date of compliance with the conditions to such Transfer, and such admission shall be shown on the books and records of the Company, including the Schedule of Members.
Lock-up; Transfer Restrictions (a) The Sponsor and the Insiders agree that they shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (the “Founder Shares Lock-up”) until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (B) the date following the completion of an initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the closing price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30- trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares shall be released from the Founder Shares Lock-up.

(d) During the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, Transfer any Units, Ordinary Shares, Warrants or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares held by it, her or him, as applicable, subject to certain exceptions enumerated in Section [6(h)] of the Underwriting Agreement.

(b) The General Partner shall not recognize any transfer of Limited Partner Interests evidenced by Certificates until the Certificates evidencing such Limited Partner Interests are duly endorsed and surrendered for registration of transfer. No charge shall be imposed by the General Partner for such transfer; provided, however, that as a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.5, the General Partner may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto. Upon surrender of a Certificate for registration of transfer of any Limited Partner Interests evidenced by a Certificate, and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.5(b), the appropriate officers of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall execute and deliver, and in the case of Certificates evidencing Limited Partner Interests for which a Transfer Agent has been appointed, the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and type of Limited Partner Interests as was evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered. Upon the proper surrender of a Certificate, such transfer shall be recorded in the Partnership Register. (c) Upon the receipt of proper transfer instructions from the Record Holder of uncertificated Partnership Interests, such transfer shall be recorded in the Partnership Register.

Any such purported Transfer undertaken without such consent shall be considered to be null and void ab initio and shall not be given effect.

Until the transferee is admitted as a Member, the Member shall continue to be the sole member of the Company (subject to Section 1.02) and to be entitled to exercise any rights or powers of a Member of the Company with respect to the Membership Interest transferred. (b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any purported transfer of any Membership Interest in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be wholly void and shall not effectuate the transfer contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Member may not transfer any Membership Interest in violation of any provision of this Agreement or in violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws.
No Transfer Restrictions The Depositor has not created, incurred or suffered to exist any restriction on transferability of the Receivables except for the restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement. The transfer of the Receivables and the Receivable Files by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement is not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.
Removal of Transfer Restrictions Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Indenture (including Section 3.04), the Restricted Note Legend affixed to any Note will be deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.12 and the footnote to such Restricted Note Legend, to be removed therefrom upon the Company’s delivery to the Trustee of notice, signed on behalf of the Company by one (1) of its Officers, to such effect (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such notice need not be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in order to be effective to cause such Restricted Note Legend to be deemed to be removed from such Note). If such Note bears a “restricted” CUSIP or ISIN number at the time of such delivery, then, upon such delivery, such Note will be deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.12 and the footnotes to the CUSIP and ISIN numbers set forth on the face of the certificate representing such Note, to thereafter bear the “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers identified in such footnotes; provided, however, that if such Note is a Global Note and the Depositary thereof requires a mandatory exchange or other procedure to cause such Global Note to be identified by “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers in the facilities of such Depositary, then (i) the Company will effect such exchange or procedure as soon as reasonably practicable; and (ii) for purposes of Section 3.04 and the definition of Freely Tradable, such Global Note will not be deemed to be identified by “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers until such time as such exchange or procedure is effected.
