Except as set forth in this Section 19 , the rights and benefits hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable, and any purported transfer, sale, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance or disposition or attachment of any payments or benefits hereunder other than by operation of law, shall not be permitted or recognized. Oaktree may assign this Agreement to any of its affiliates as Oaktree may deem desirable in which case you shall become an employee of that affiliate, rather than Oaktree, on the same terms and conditions set forth herein; provided that no such assignment shall materially affect the benefits to you or Oaktree of this Agreement. You agree to take any such actions and to execute any such documents as Oaktree may reasonably request in order to further implement and evidence any such assignment. You may, with the consent of Oaktree, designate in writing, on forms prescribed by and filed with Oaktree, one or more beneficiaries to receive any payments payable after your death and may at any time amend or revoke any such designation; provided that if you designate a person other than your spouse as a beneficiary, your spouse must sign a statement specifically approving such designation. Any payments to which you would be entitled by virtue of this Agreement while alive shall be paid, following your death, to the designated beneficiary. If no beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of death, or in the absence of a spouse’s approval as herein above provided, payments to which you are entitled hereunder shall be made to your personal representative.
