Conflicts of Interests The Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Company's employees, during the term of their employment with the Company, do not engage in activities that would result in a conflict of interest with the Company. The Company's obligations hereunder include, but are not limited to, requiring that the Company's employees devote their primary productive time, ability, and attention, to the business of the Company (provided, however, the Company's employees may engage in other business activity if such activity does not materially interfere with their obligations to the Company), requiring that the Company's employees enter into agreements regarding proprietary information and confidentiality and preventing the Company's employees from engaging or participating in any business that is in competition with the business of the Company.
Potential Conflicts of Interest Except as disclosed in the Filed SEC Documents, there have been no transactions, agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Company or any Company Subsidiary, on the one hand, and their respective affiliates, on the other hand, that would be required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. Except as disclosed in the Filed SEC Documents, to the knowledge of the Company (a) no officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, any interest in (except stock holdings of publicly held and traded companies solely for investment purposes and not in excess of 1% of the outstanding shares of any such class of securities) or is an officer, director, employee or consultant of any person which is, a competitor, lessor, lessee, customer or supplier of the Company and (b) no officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (i) owns, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Intellectual Property which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is using or the use of which is necessary for the business of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, (ii) has any claim, charge, action or cause of action against the Company or any Company Subsidiary, except for claims for accrued vacation pay, accrued benefits under the employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or a Company Subsidiary and similar matters and agreements existing on February 28, 2005, (iii) has made, on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, any payment or commitment to pay any commission, fee or other amount to, or to purchase or obtain or otherwise contract to purchase or obtain any goods or services from, any other person of which any officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or, to the Company’s knowledge, a relative of any of the foregoing, is a partner or stockholder (except stock holdings solely for investment purposes in securities of publicly held and traded companies) or (iv) owes any money to the Company or any Company Subsidiary.
Resolution of Conflicts of Interest (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, any Member or any Assignee, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the Managing Member or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Members, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action is, or by operation of this Agreement is deemed to be, fair and reasonable to the Company. The Managing Member shall be authorized but not required in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution. Any conflict of interest and any resolution of such conflict of interest shall be conclusively deemed fair and reasonable to the Company if such conflict of interest or resolution is (i) approved by Special Approval (as long as the material facts known to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates regarding any proposed transaction were disclosed to the Conflicts Committee at the time it gave its approval), (ii) on terms no less favorable to the Company than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iii) fair to the Company, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Company). The Managing Member may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. The Managing Member (including the Conflicts Committee in connection with Special Approval) shall be authorized in connection with its determination of what is "fair and reasonable" to the Company and in connection with its resolution of any conflict of interest to consider (A) the relative interests of any party to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interest; (B) any customary or accepted industry practices and any customary or historical dealings with a particular Person; (C) any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles; and (D) such additional factors as the Managing Member (including the Conflicts Committee) determines in its sole discretion to be relevant, reasonable or appropriate under the circumstances. Nothing contained in this Agreement, however, is intended to nor shall it be construed to require the Managing Member (including the Conflicts Committee) to consider the interests of any Person other than the Company. In the absence of bad faith by the Managing Member, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Managing Member with respect to such matter shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or a breach of any standard of care or duty imposed herein or therein or, to the extent permitted by law, under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation.
(b) Whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby provides that the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its "sole discretion" or "discretion," that it deems "necessary or appropriate" or "necessary or advisable" or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, except as otherwise provided herein, the Managing Member or such Affiliate shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of, or factors affecting, the MLP, the Company, any Member or any Assignee, (ii) it may make such decision in its sole discretion (regardless of whether there is a reference to "sole discretion" or "discretion") unless another express standard is provided for, or (iii) in "good faith" or under another express standard, the Managing Member or such Affiliate shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, the MLP Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation. In addition, any actions taken by the Managing Member or such Affiliate consistent with the standards of "reasonable discretion" set forth in the definition of Available Cash shall not constitute a breach of any duty of the Managing Member to the Company or the Members. The Managing Member shall have no duty, express or implied, to sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Company Group other than in the ordinary course of business. No borrowing by any Group Member or the approval thereof by the Managing Member shall be deemed to constitute a breach of any duty of the Managing Member to the Company or the Members by reason of the fact that the purpose or effect of such borrowing is directly or indirectly to (A) enable distributions by the MLP to the General Partner or its Affiliates to exceed 2% of the total amount distributed to all partners or (B) hasten the expiration of the Subordination Period or the conversion of any Subordinated Units into Common Units.
(c) Whenever a particular transaction, arrangement or resolution of a conflict of interest is required under this Agreement to be "fair and reasonable" to any Person, the fair and reasonable nature of such transaction, arrangement or resolution shall be considered in the context of all similar or related transactions.
Certain Conflicts of Interest Except as may be provided herein or as otherwise addressed by the Company’s conflicts of interest policies, the Company may not engage in any transaction involving a Conflict of Interest without first submitting such transaction to the Independent Representative for approval to determine whether such transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and the Members; provided, however, that the Company may not purchase investments from Fundrise Lending, LLC, or its Affiliates without a determination by the Independent Representative that such transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and at a price to the Company that is not materially greater than the cost of the asset to Fundrise Lending, LLC, or its Affiliate, as applicable. The resolution of any Conflict of Interest approved by the Independent Representative shall be conclusively deemed to be fair and reasonable to the Company and the Members and not a breach of any duty hereunder at law, in equity or otherwise. Notwithstanding the above, to the extent required by applicable law, any transaction involving certain Conflicts of Interest shall be subject to review and approval by the Independent Representative.

Contractor represents and warrants that it has no actual or potential conflicts of interest in providing the requested goods or services to System Agency under this Contract or any related Solicitation and that Contractor’s provision of the requested goods and/or services under this Contract and any related Solicitation will not constitute an actual or potential conflict of interest or reasonably create an appearance of impropriety.
B.

Conflicts; Defaults The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the performance by the Company of the transactions and obligations contemplated hereby to be performed by it will not (i) materially violate, conflict with, or constitute a default under any of the terms or provisions of, the Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws, or any provisions of, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any material contract, note, debt instrument, security agreement, or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company, or any of their assets is bound (collectively, the “Material Agreements”); (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Liens or claims upon the Company’s assets or upon the Company’s Common Stock; (iii) assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations in Section 4.2, constitute a material violation of any law, statute, judgment, decree, order, rule, or regulation of a Governmental Authority applicable to the Company; or (iv) constitute an event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would result in any of the foregoing. The Company is not presently in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws.
Conflicts and Pending Action There is no agreement to which Purchaser is a party or to Purchaser’s knowledge binding on Purchaser which is in conflict with this Agreement. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser which challenges or impairs Purchaser’s ability to execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement.
