Investment Company Act The Company will conduct its affairs in such a manner so as to reasonably ensure that neither it nor its subsidiaries will be or become, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act, assuming no change in the Commission’s current interpretation as to entities that are not considered an investment company.
Investment Company Act; Investments The Company has been advised concerning the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder and has in the past conducted, and intends in the future to conduct, its affairs in such a manner as to ensure that it will not become an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act and such rules and regulations. The Company is not, nor will the Company become upon the sale of the Units and the application of the proceeds therefore as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”, an “investment company” or a person controlled by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. No more than 45% of the “value” (as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act) of the Company’s total assets (exclusive of cash items and “Government Securities” (as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act) consist of, and no more than 45% of the Company’s net income after taxes is derived from, securities other than the Government Securities.
Passive Foreign Investment Company The Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.
Regulated Investment Company Status During the 12-month period following the Closing Time, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify and elect to be treated as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to maintain such qualification and election in effect for each full fiscal year during which it is a business development company under the 1940 Act.
Regulated Investment Company Election If the Prospectus for a Trust states that such Trust intends to elect to be treated and to qualify as a "regulated investment company" as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Trustee is hereby directed to make such elections and take all actions, including any appropriate election to be taxed as a corporation, as shall be necessary to effect such qualification or to provide funds to make any distribution for a taxable year in order to avoid imposition of any income or excise tax on the Trust or on undistributed income in the Trust. The Trustee shall make such reviews of each Trust portfolio as shall be necessary to maintain qualification of a particular Trust as regulated investment company and to avoid imposition of tax on a Trust or undistributed income in a Trust, and the Depositor and Supervisor shall be authorized to rely conclusively upon such reviews."
