Purchases and Sales Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary has approved, entered into any agreement in respect of, or has any knowledge of:
Transactions with Related Persons Directly or indirectly enter into any transaction with or for the benefit of a Related Person on terms more favorable to the Related Person than would have been obtainable in an “arms’ length” dealing.
Futures Transactions in futures involve the obligation to make, or to take, delivery of the underlying asset of the contract at a future date, or in some cases to settle the Investment Adviser’s position with cash from a Portfolio or elsewhere. Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk. The “gearing” or “leverage” often obtainable in futures trading means that a small deposit or down payment can lead to large losses as well as gains. It also means that a relatively small market movement can lead to a proportionately much larger movement in the value of the Investment Adviser’s investment, and this can work against the Investment Adviser as well as for the Investment Adviser. Futures transactions have a contingent liability, and the Investment Adviser should be aware of the implications of this, in particular the margining requirements, which are described in paragraph 7.2 below.
Brokerage Transactions Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and absent instructions from the Investment Adviser or the Trust, the Subadviser will have full discretionary authority to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the account of the Fund with such brokers or dealers as it may select. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Subadviser is directed at all times to seek for the Fund the most favorable execution and net price available. It is also understood, however, that it is desirable for the Fund that the Subadviser have access to supplemental investment and market research and security and economic analyses provided by certain brokers who may execute brokerage transactions at higher commissions to the Fund than may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers solely on the basis of seeking the most favorable price and efficient execution. Therefore, the Subadviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund with such certain brokers, subject to applicable laws and regulations and review by the Investment Adviser and the Trusts Board of Trustees from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is understood that the services provided by such brokers may be useful to the Subadviser in connection with its services to other clients. On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of the Fund as well as other clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of securities so sold or purchased, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients. The Subadviser will report on such allocations at the request of the Investment Adviser, the Fund or the Trusts Board of Trustees, providing such information as the number of aggregated trades to which the Fund was a party, the broker(s) to whom such trades were directed and the basis of the allocation for the aggregated trades. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 and at the direction of the Investment Adviser or the Trust, the Subadviser may also consider sales of Fund shares as a factor in the selection of brokers or dealers for a Funds portfolio transactions. In connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the account of the Fund, neither the Subadviser nor any of its affiliated persons, will act as a principal or agent or receive directly or indirectly any compensation in connection with the purchase or sale of investment securities by the Fund, except as permitted by applicable law and with the express written consent of the Trust and the Investment Adviser. The Subadviser will advise the Funds custodian and the Investment Adviser on a prompt basis of each purchase and sale of a portfolio security, specifying the name of the issuer, the description and amount or number of shares of the security purchased or sold, the market price, commission and gross or net price, trade date, settlement date and identity of the effecting broker or dealer, and such other information as may be reasonably required.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH RELATED PERSONS No Seller or any Related Person of Sellers or of any Acquired Company has, or since [the first day of the next to last completed fiscal year of the Acquired Companies] has had, any interest in any property (whether real, personal, or mixed and whether tangible or intangible), used in or pertaining to the Acquired Companies' businesses. No Seller or any Related Person of Sellers or of any Acquired Company is, or since [the first day of the next to last completed fiscal year of the Acquired Companies] has owned (of record or as a beneficial owner) an equity interest or any other financial or profit interest in, a Person that has (i) had business dealings or a material financial interest in any transaction with any Acquired Company [other than business dealings or transactions conducted in the Ordinary Course of Business with the Acquired Companies at substantially prevailing market prices and on substantially prevailing market terms], or (ii) engaged in competition with any Acquired Company with respect to any line of the products or services of such Acquired Company (a "Competing Business") in any market presently served by such Acquired Company [except for less than one percent of the outstanding capital stock of any Competing Business that is publicly traded on any recognized exchange or in the over-the- counter market]. Except as set forth in Part 3.25 of the Disclosure Letter, no Seller or any Related Person of Sellers or of any Acquired Company is a party to any Contract with, or has any claim or right against, any Acquired Company.
Material Transactions or Affiliations Except as disclosed herein and in the IACH Schedules, there exists no contract, agreement or arrangement between IACH and any predecessor and any person who was at the time of such contract, agreement or arrangement an officer or director. IACH has no commitment, whether written or oral, to lend any funds to, borrow any money from, or enter into any other transaction with, any such affiliated person.
Speculative Investment Purchaser’s investment in the Company represented by the Plan Shares is highly speculative in nature and is subject to a high degree of risk of loss in whole or in part. The amount of such investment is within Purchaser’s risk capital means and is not so great in relation to Purchaser’s total financial resources as would jeopardize the personal financial needs of Purchaser or Purchaser’s family in the event such investment were lost in whole or in part.
Related Person Transactions Except for indemnification, compensation or other employment arrangements in the ordinary course of business, there are no Contracts, transactions, arrangements or understandings between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Affiliate (including any director or officer) thereof, but not including any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand, that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC in the Company’s Form 10-K or proxy statement pertaining to an annual meeting of stockholders.
Transactions with Related Parties Enter into or be a party to any transaction or arrangement, including, without limitation, the purchase, sale lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any Related Party, except in the ordinary course of and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Borrower's or the applicable Subsidiary's business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than would obtain in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person not a Related Party.
