Common use of Limitations on Exchanges Clause in Contracts

Limitations on Exchanges. (a) The General Partner may impose additional limitations and restrictions on Exchanges (including limiting Exchanges or creating priority procedures for Exchanges) to the extent it reasonably determines in good faith that such limitations and restrictions are necessary to avoid: (i) contravention of applicable law, agreements of PubCo, or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Policy and any other written policies related to unlawful or inappropriate trading generally applicable to its directors, board observers, officers or other personnel; (ii) the breach of any debt agreement or other material contract of any Blue Owl Operating Group Entity or PubCo; or (iii) any Blue Owl Operating Group Entity being classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. For purposes of Section 7704 of the Code, each Blue Owl Operating Group Entity and the General Partner shall assume that PubCo is treated as a single partner within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h) (determined taking into account the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)), unless otherwise required by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner may, if reasonably necessary to preserve the application of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(f), limit aggregate Exchanges in any taxable year to 10% of percentage interests in the capital or profits of the Blue Owl Operating Group Entities (disregarding transfers described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e)) (the “Exchange Threshold”). If, in connection with any Exchange pursuant to Section 2.1(a) in which the General Partner has received Exchange Notices from Blue Owl Limited Partners delivered in accordance with Section 2.1(c) covering a number of Blue Owl Units that, together with all other Exchanges in the same taxable year, would exceed the Exchange Threshold for that taxable year and the General Partner intends to impose the limitation on aggregate Exchanges pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then the General Partner shall promptly notify the Blue Owl Limited Partners of such fact and the number of Blue Owl Units to be exchanged on the applicable Quarterly Exchange Date shall be allocated proportionately among the Blue Owl Limited Partners that validly delivered Exchange Notices in respect of such Quarterly Exchange Date based on the number of Common Units owned by each such Blue Owl Limited Partner that are not then subject to the Lock-Up Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PubCo and the General Partner shall not enter into any agreement if a principal purpose of such agreement is to restrict or otherwise impair in any material respect the Blue Owl Limited Partners’ rights to consummate Exchanges. (b) No Seller Earnout Unit shall be Exchanged (including by way of a Direct Exchange), and in no event shall the parties to this Agreement effect an Exchange (including a Direct Exchange) of any such Seller Earnout Unit, in each case, unless and until such Seller Earnout Unit has had a Triggering Event (as defined in and determined in accordance with the BCA).
