Registration and Transfer of Limited Partner Interests (a) The General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Partnership a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(b), the Partnership will provide for the registration and transfer of Limited Partner Interests.

The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not consummate any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer unless prior thereto the Company and such issuer shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement so providing. The Company shall not enter into any transaction of the kind referred to in this Section 13 if at the time of such transaction there are any rights, warrants, instruments or securities outstanding or any agreements or arrangements which, as a result of the consummation of such transaction, would eliminate or substantially diminish the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. The provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations or sales or other transfers. For purposes hereof, the "earning power" of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors on the basis of the operating earnings of each business operated by the Company and its Subsidiaries during the three fiscal years preceding the date of such determination (or, in the case of any business not operated by the Company or any Subsidiary during three full fiscal years preceding such date, during the period such business was operated by the Company or any Subsidiary).
Registration and Transfer of Shares (a) Any Transfer of any Shares shall only be completed subject to the compliance by the Member and the proposed transferee with all applicable laws; and furthermore may only be completed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Exception for Permitted Transfers The conditions of Sections 11.3.A(1) through 11.3.A(4) hereof shall not apply in the case of a Permitted Transfer. It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (whether or not such Transfer is effected during or after the first Fourteen-Month Period) that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Partnership Interest, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any restrictions on ownership and transfer of stock of the General Partner contained in the Charter that may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise its Redemption rights, including, without limitation, the Ownership Limit. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 hereof.
Certain Permitted Transfers The restrictions in this Section 4 will not apply with respect to any Transfer of Carried Shares made (i) pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or to such Person’s legal guardian in the case of any mental incapacity or among such Person’s Family Group, (ii) in connection with the Company’s initial Public Offering of the Common Shares upon the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional Common Shares to the extent set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-120444) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2004, as amended, or (iii) at such time as the Investors sell Common Shares to any unaffiliated third party, but in the case of this clause (iii) only an amount of shares (the “Transfer Amount”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Vested Shares owned by Executive and (B) the number of Common Shares owned by Executive multiplied by a fraction (the “Transfer Fraction”), the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares sold by the Investors in such sale and the denominator of which is the total number of Common Shares held by the Investors prior to the sale; provided that, if at the time of such sale of Common Shares by the Investors, Executive chooses not to Transfer the Transfer Amount, Executive shall retain the right to Transfer an amount of Common Shares at a future date equal to the lesser of (x) the number of Vested Shares owned by Executive at such future date and (y) the number of Common Shares owned by Executive at such future date multiplied by the Transfer Fraction; provided further that the restrictions contained in this Section 4 will continue to be applicable to the Carried Shares after any Transfer of the type referred to in clause (i) above and the transferees of such Carried Shares must agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Any transferee of Carried Shares pursuant to a Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b)(i) is herein referred to as a “Permitted Transferee.” Upon the Transfer of Carried Shares pursuant to this Section 4(b), the transferring holder of Carried Shares will deliver a written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) to the Company. In the case of a Transfer pursuant to clause (i) hereof, the Transfer Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the Permitted Transferee(s).
Certificates Representing Units; Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates; Registration and Transfer of Units (a) Units shall not be certificated unless otherwise determined by the Manager. If the Manager determines that one or more Units shall be certificated, each such certificate shall be signed by or in the name of the Company, by the Chief Executive Officer and any other officer designated by the Manager, representing the number of Units held by such holder. Such certificate shall be in such form (and shall contain such legends) as the Manager may determine. Any or all of such signatures on any certificate representing one or more Units may be a facsimile, engraved or printed, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Manager agrees that it shall not elect to treat any Unit as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code unless thereafter all Units then outstanding are represented by one or more certificates.
