2.    Restrictions on Units. Neither this Award nor the Units subject to this Award may be assigned or transferred other than (i) a transfer upon your death in accordance with your will, by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a beneficiary designation submitted in accordance with Section 6(d) of the Plan (to the extent such designation is valid under applicable law), (ii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, or (iii) by gift to any “family member” (as defined in General Instruction A.1(a)(5) to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933). Following any such transfer, this Award and the Units subject to this Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to them immediately prior to the transfer.
