Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, no restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer or registration of transfer of a beneficial interest in any Certificate that is a Global Certificate of a Class to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate of such Class provided that each such transferee shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties contained in the Rule 144A Certificate as are sufficient to establish that it is a QIB. In the case of a proposed transfer of any Certificate to a transferee other than a QIB, the Trustee may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transaction is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The cost of such opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund.

Any purported or attempted Transfer of Partnership Interests made other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be void ab initio and the last holder of record who acquired such Partnership Interests in a manner not contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be recognized as the holder of such Partnership Interests for all purposes and the Partnership Interests shall continue to be treated as Partnership Interests for all purposes under this Agreement, shall be deemed owned by such recognized holder for purposes of the operation of this Agreement and shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The substitution of a trustee of a Partner shall not be prohibited by this Section 8.2, provided that the substitute trustee has executed and delivered to the Partnership a counterpart of this Agreement agreeing to be subject to the restrictions and obligations of a Partner hereunder and to hold all Partnership Interests then owned or later acquired by such Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
