consideration.

amount of at least its market value (determined as if there were
no provision for transfer, reversion or forfeiture) at the time of
the transfer, reversion or forfeiture.

(6)
This subsection applies to provision under which there is a restriction
35on—

(a) the freedom of the person by whom the right to carried interest
is held to dispose of it or proceeds of its sale,

(b) the right of that person to retain the right to carried interest or
proceeds of its sale, or

(c) 40any other right conferred by the right to carried interest,

not being provision to which subsection (5) applies.

retention of the right to carried interest, or the exercise of a right
conferred by it, may result in a disadvantage to—

(a) 45the person by whom the right to carried interest is held,
