Portuguese term or phrase: ou por se encontrar sob os efeitos dela, a pena que vede
Part 2 of two questions from a very bad written contract amendment. Need some light!

O(s) administrador(es) declara(m), sob as penas da lei, que não está impedido de exercer a administração da sociedade, por lei especial ou em virtude de condenação criminal, ou por se encontrar sob os efeitos dela, a pena que vede, ainda que temporariamente, o acesso a cargos públicos, ou por crime falimentar, de prevaricação, peita ou suborno, concussão, peculato ou contra a economia popular, contra o sistema financeiro nacional, contra normas de defesa da concorrência, contra as relações de consumo, fé pública ou propriedade.

English translation:or because he/she/they are subject to the effects of a penalty
Explanation:
O(s) administrador(es) declara(m), sob as penas da lei, que não está impedido de exercer a administração da sociedade, por lei especial ou em virtude de condenação criminal, ou por se encontrar sob os efeitos DELA, a PENA que vede, ainda que temporariamente, o acesso a cargos públicos,

The key point in the disentanglement of this poorly drafted clause is that DELA refers to PENA and not to CONDENAÇÃO CRIMINAL.

or, as a result of falling under the conditions thereof, imposes punishment (or: a penalty) barring


Explanation:
I believe "exercer" is paired with "a pena que vede (...) o acceso a cargos públicos" --> imposing punishing / a penalty barring them from (running?) public office

agree  Seth Phillips: I like your answer better. Do you have any idea why they failed to draft as "efeitos da pena (...)"?

  -> Probably the near-fatal effect of a morbid attraction for legalese. Clarity is not at the top of the list for this type of draftsman, the most important thing is for the peacock to show off his bedraggled feathers.
