The President, or any other officer of the Company, is hereby authorized to file any tax elections necessary to achieve these results. The Company will not make any election to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation. No transfer of an interest in the Company shall be effective if such transfer would cause a taxable event to holders of Notes.

The Company shall not permit a direct or indirect assignment, participation, pledge, hypothecation, rehypothecation, exchange or other disposition or transfer of (each a “Transfer”) of any Tax Restricted Securities if the Transfer of such Tax Restricted Securities would cause the aggregate number of persons treated as owning all Tax Restricted Securities then outstanding to exceed ninety (90) within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h), unless the Company has received an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel that such Transfer will not cause the Company to be a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes. The Company will not participate in any direct or indirect interest in a Tax Restricted Security being (A) listed on, established on, or included on or in (x) a United States national, regional or local securities exchange, (y) a foreign securities exchange or (z) an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations by identified brokers or dealers (including, without limitation, the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System) ((x), (y) and (z), collectively, an “Exchange”) or (B) marketed on or through an Exchange. The Company will not recognize any Transfers made on any Exchange with respect to any direct or indirect interest in a Tax Restricted Security (including any Transfers of any financial instrument or contract the value of which is determined in whole or in part by reference to the Company). The Company shall treat Transfers in violation of this Section 34(b) as null, void and of no effect.
