The Issuer and each Holder Noteholder of a Subject Security Note agrees (and each Applicable Person by virtue of acquiring a beneficial interest in a Subject Security Note (or by virtue of agreeing to act as an agent, representative or intermediary of or with respect to the holder of such a beneficial interest) is deemed to agree) that no Subject Securities Notes may be transferred, and no transfer (or purported transfer) of all or any part of a Subject Security Note (or any direct or indirect economic or beneficial interest therein) (a “Transferred SecurityNote”) whether to the Initial Holderinitial Noteholder, another Holder Noteholder or to a Person that is not a Holder Noteholder (any of these, a “Transferee”) shall be effective, and to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law any such transfer (or purported transfer) shall be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise become a Holder Noteholder of a Subject Security Note (or a holder of any direct or indirect beneficial interest therein), unless: (i) (A) either (I) the Transferee (or, if the Transferee is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the sole owner of the Transferee) is not and will not become for U.S. federal income tax purposes a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust (each such entity, a “flow-through entity”) or (II) if the Transferee (or, if the Transferee is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the sole owner of the Transferee) is or becomes a flow-through entity, then either (x) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in the Transferee have or ever will have all or substantially all the value of its interest in the Transferee attributable to the interest of the Transferee in any Transferred SecurityNote, any other Subject SecuritiesNotes, other interest (direct or indirect) in the Issuer, or any [Master Indenture] interest created under this Master Indenture or (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of the Transferee in any Transferred Security Note to permit any partnership to satisfy the one hundred (100) partner limitation of Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code, (B) the Transferee will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any participating interest in any Subject Security Note or any financial instrument or contract the value of which is determined by reference in whole or in part to any Subject Security Note, and (C) it is not acquiring, and will not sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of, any Transferred Security Note (or interest therein) or cause any Transferred Security Note (or interest therein) to be marketed, on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, including, without limitation, an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations, and (ii) after such transfer there would be no more than ninety (90) members of the limited liability company that is the Issuer (including as members, solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(a), Holders Noteholders of any Subject Security Notes (and holders of any beneficial interest therein) and holders of any other instruments subject to the transfer restrictions of this Section 2.17(a)). Any subsequent transfer of a Transferred Security Note by a Transferee shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 2.17(a) and shall be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise become a Holder Noteholder of such Transferred SecurityNote, unless this Section 2.17(a) is satisfied. In the case of Subject Securities Notes that are Definitive SecuritiesNotes, the Authorized Agent shall not register any transfer of such Subject Security Note unless the Authorized Agent (in consultation with the Issuer) has confirmed that after such transfer, the requirements of this Section 2.17(a) shall have been satisfied. The Issuer shall not recognize any prohibited transfer described in this Section 2.17(a), including without limitation by (i) redeeming the transferor’s interest, or (ii) recognizing the Transferee as a Holder Noteholder or otherwise recognizing any right of the Transferee (including, without limitation, any right of the Transferee to receive payments or other distributions from the Issuer, directly or indirectly). The Series Supplement relating to each Series of Subject Securities Notes may set forth such transfer restrictions (including minimum principal denominations), certification requirements, covenants and other matters applicable to such Subject Securities Notes that the Issuer deems advisable to effectuate the requirements of this Section 2.17(a).
