C. It is the intent of the Company to restrict the transfer of Membership Interests to preserve the partnership tax status of the Company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Service Treasury Regulations to avoid treatment as a “publicly traded” partnership. Compliance with these provisions requires that Membership Interests not be (a) traded in an established securities market; or (b) readily tradable on a secondary market or its substantial equivalent. The Company intends only to allow transfers of Membership Interests pursuant to “safe harbors” of the Treasury Regulations, which include (i) qualified redemptions and repurchases; (ii) transfers pursuant to a qualified matching service; or (iii) “private” transfers, which include, among others (a) transfers in which the transferee’s tax basis is determined by reference to the transferor’s tax basis in the interest transferred; (b) transfers by reason of death, including transfers from an estate or testamentary trust; (c) transfers, including gifts, between members of a “family” (within the meaning of Section 267(c)(4) of the tax code); (d) transfers from retirement plans qualified under Section 401(a) of the tax code or an ▇▇▇; and (e) “block” transfers. A block transfer is a transfer by a Member and any related person as defined in the tax code in one or more transactions during any 30 calendar day period of interests representing in the aggregate more than two percent of the total interests in Company capital or profits. Transfers pursuant to a qualified redemption or repurchase are disregarded in determining whether Membership Interests are readily tradable on a secondary market if several conditions are met. First, the redemption or repurchase cannot occur until at least 60 days after the Company receives written notice of the Member’s intent to exercise the redemption or repurchase right. Second, either the purchase price is not established until at least 60 days after receipt of notification or the purchase price is established not more than four times during the entity’s tax year. Third, the sum of the interests in capital or profits transferred during the year, other than in private transfers, cannot exceed 10 percent of the total interests in Company capital or profits. Finally, a “lack of trading” safe harbor permits the transfer (without regard to transfers qualifying under one of the specific safe harbors described above) in a taxable year of the Company of interests representing no more than 2 percent of the total interests in Company capital or profits. So long as Membership Interests are transferred in accordance with all laws and regulationsa safe harbor, including securities laws, applicable to such Member they will be treated as not readily tradable in a secondary market or Person, as appropriate, (v) containing representations and warranties by the Person to which such interest is Disposed that are substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 3.3 (it being understood that in connection with any Disposition constituting a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Appendix B hereof that is implemented for estate planning purposes, the transferee shall not be required to make such representations and warranties), and (vi) setting forth the effective date of the Dispositionits substantial equivalent.
