Affiliate Transactions Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of the partners, members or shareholders, as applicable, of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms which are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party.

Limitation on Affiliate Transactions (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, make, amend or conduct any transaction (including making a payment to, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service), contract, agreement or understanding with or for the benefit of any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless:
Affiliate Transfers (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2(b) hereof, and subject in each case to the prior written approval of each Member (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), any Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Interest in the Company at any time to an Affiliate of such Member, provided that such Affiliate shall remain an Affiliate of such Member at all times that such Affiliate holds such Interest. If such Affiliate shall thereafter cease being an Affiliate of such Member while such Affiliate holds such Interest, such cessation shall be a non-permitted Transfer and shall be deemed void ab initio, whereupon the Member having made the Transfer shall, at its own and sole expense, cause such putative transferee to disgorge all economic benefits and otherwise indemnify the Company and the other Member(s) against loss or damage under any Collateral Agreement.
Non-Arm’s Length Transactions Except in respect of transactions between or among the Borrower and/or one or more of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any contract, agreement or transaction whatsoever, including for the sale, purchase, lease or other dealing in any property or the provision of any services (other than office and administration services provided in the ordinary course of business), with any Related Party except upon fair and reasonable terms, which terms are not less favourable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries than it would obtain in an arm’s length transaction and, if applicable, for consideration which equals the fair market value of such property or other than at a fair market rental as regards leased property.
Employee Loans and Affiliate Transactions (a) Other than a Permitted Sale-Leaseback, no Credit Party shall enter into or be a party to any transaction with any other Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof except in the ordinary course of and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of such Credit Party’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to such Credit Party than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate of such Credit Party. In addition, if any such transaction or series of related transactions involves payments in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate, the terms of these transactions must be disclosed in advance to Agent and Lenders.

Dealers’ Commissions Except for volume discounts described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, which volume discounts shall be the responsibility of the Dealer to provide to investors who qualify, and except as otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Dealer’s sales commission applicable to the Shares sold by Dealer which it is authorized to sell hereunder is 7.0% of the gross proceeds of Shares sold by it and accepted and confirmed by the Company, which commission will be payable by the Dealer Manager. No sales commissions shall be paid with respect to Shares issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. For these purposes, shares shall be deemed to be “sold” if and only if a transaction has closed with a subscriber for Shares pursuant to all applicable offering and subscription documents, the Company has accepted the subscription agreement of such subscriber, and such Shares have been fully paid for. The Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for commissions payable is limited solely to the proceeds of commissions receivable from the Company, and the Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of commissions due until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the commission from the Company. In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, reallow a portion of its dealer manager fee to Dealers participating in the offering of Shares as marketing fees, reimbursement of costs and expenses of attending educational conferences or to defray other distribution-related expenses. The parties hereby agree that the foregoing commission is not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission received in the sale of securities similar to the Shares, that Dealer’s interest in the offering is limited to such commission from the Dealer Manager and Dealer’s indemnity referred to in Section 4 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, and that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such commission to the Dealer. In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager may reimburse Dealer up to 0.5% of gross proceeds for bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by such Dealer. The Dealer Manager shall have the right to require the Dealer to provide a detailed and itemized invoice as a condition to the reimbursement of any such due diligence expenses.
