The terms of admission or issuance must specify the interests in Partnership capital applicable to the new interests. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to Transfers of Partnership Interests.
5.4. Restrictions on Transfer of Partnership Interests. A Partner may Transfer his or her Partnership Interest to another Person subject to the following restrictions:

Before a Partner (“Transferring Partner”) may Transfer a Partnership Interest to any Person, the Transferring Partner or his or her legal representative shall give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Partnership and the other Partners of his or her intention to do so. For 60 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice, the Partnership shall have the option to purchase all or any part of the Transferring Partner’s Interest at its then fair market value as determined by a qualified, independent appraiser selected by the non-transferring Partners. If the Partnership fails to exercise its option, in whole or in part, for 30 days following the expiration of the Partnership’s option period, each non-transferring Partner shall have the option to purchase (at the same price as applied to the Partnership’s option) a proportionate share (based upon his or her Interest which is not subject to the proposed transfer) of the Transferring Partner’s Interest. If a Partner waives, in whole or in part, his or her option to purchase, the unexercised option, or portion thereof, to which such waiver applies shall inure proportionately (based upon each such non-transferring Partner’s Interest that is not subject to the proposed transfer, exclusive of the Interest of the Partner waiving the option) to other non-transferring Partners. The Transfer Notice may be sent by first class mail to the Partnership at its principal place of business, and to each non-transferring Partner at the address specified for such Partner in paragraph 3.2 or in the Partnership’s records, and shall be deemed to be delivered three days after it is deposited for delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Partnership nor the non-transferring Partners shall have any right of first refusal (and the Transferring Partner shall have no obligation to give a
8
Transfer Notice) under this paragraph 5.4.1 with respect to a transfer between Partners or a gratuitous transfer of a Partner’s Interest for estate planning reasons to a Transferee that is a member of the Partner’s family, a trust for the benefit of the Partner or the members of the Partner’s family (or, if a trust holds a Partnership Interest, to a beneficiary of such trust), or to an entity, such as a family limited liability company, of which the transferring Partner retains control. Such a Transferee, however, shall not be admitted as a substitute Partner without first meeting the requirements of paragraph 5.4.2.
5.4.2. Requirements for Admission of a New or Substitute Partner. No Transferee shall have the right to become a Partner unless and until all of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the written acceptance and adoption by the Transferee of the provisions of this Agreement; (b) the admission is approved by all of the non-transferring Partners, the granting or denial of which shall be within their sole and absolute discretion; and (c) payment by the Transferring Partner or the Transferee of all expenses in connection with the transfer and admission, subject to the non-transferring Partners’ right to waive the payment of these expenses in their sole discretion.
5.4.3. Rights of Mere Assignees. If a Transferee is not admitted as a Partner, the Transferee shall be entitled to receive the allocations and distributions attributable to the transferred Interest, but the Transferee shall not be entitled to inspect the Partnership’s books and records, receive an accounting of the Partnership’s financial affairs, or otherwise take part in the Partnership’s business or exercise the rights of a Partner under this Agreement or the Act.
5.5. Changes in Ownership of Partners that are not Natural Persons.A change in controlling ownership of a Partner that is a corporation, limited liability company, general partnership, limited partnership, or other similar entity shall be considered a Transfer for purposes of paragraph 5.4.
