The foregoing limitation does not limit, and shall not apply to (i) transactions (A) approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors, or (B) for which the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm stating that the transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; (ii) any transaction solely between the Company and any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or solely between Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries; (iii) the payment of reasonable and customary regular compensation (whether in cash or securities) and expense reimbursements to directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company; (iv) any payments or other transactions pursuant to any tax-sharing agreement between the Company and any other Person with which the Company files a consolidated tax return or with which the Company is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes; or (v) any Restricted Payments not prohibited by Section 4.04. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction or series of related transactions covered by the first paragraph of this Section 4.08 and not covered by clauses (ii) through (v) of this paragraph, (a) the aggregate amount of which exceeds $1 million in value, must be approved or determined to be fair in the manner provided for in clause (i)(A) or (B) above and (b) the aggregate amount of which exceeds $3 million in value, must be determined to be fair in the manner provided for in clause (i)(B) above.
Transactions with the Company Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement and with the prior approval of the Manager, a Member may lend money to and transact other business with the Company. Subject to other applicable law, such Member has the same rights and obligations with respect thereto as a Person who is not a Member.
Trustee Dealings with the Issuers The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any transaction with any Affiliate upon terms which would be any less favorable than those obtainable by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person which is not an Affiliate. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any transaction (or series of related transactions) involving in the aggregate $1,000,000 or more with any Affiliate except for (i) the making of any Restricted Payment, (ii) any transaction or series of transactions between the Company and one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that no more than 5% of the equity interest in any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is owned by an Affiliate), and (iii) the payment of compensation (including, without limitation, amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of officers, directors and employees of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, so long as the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith shall have approved the terms thereof and deemed the services theretofore or thereafter to be performed for such compensation or fees to be fair consideration therefor; and provided further that for any Asset Sale, or a sale, transfer or other disposition (other than to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) of an interest in a Restricted Investment, involving an amount greater than $25,000,000, such Asset Sale or transfer of interest in a Restricted Investment is for fair value as determined by an opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm filed with the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not prohibit any such transaction which is determined by the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company, in their reasonable, good faith judgment (as evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) to be (a) in the best interests of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, and (b) upon terms which would be obtainable by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person which is not an Affiliate.
Trustee Dealings with the Issuer The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) that involves an aggregate fair market value of more than $5.0 million shall be approved by the Board of Managers of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that such Board of Managers has determined that such transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) that involves an aggregate fair market value of more than $10.0 million, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.
RELATIONS WITH TRUST Subject to and in accordance with the Master Trust Agreement and By-laws of the Trust and the Articles of Organization and By-laws of the Manager, it is understood that Trustees, officers, agents and shareholders of the Trust are or may be interested in the Manager (or any successor thereof) as directors, officers or otherwise, that directors, officers, agents and shareholders of the Manager (or any successor thereof) are or may be interested in the Trust as Trustees, officers, agents, shareholders or otherwise, that the Manager (or any such successor thereof) is or may be interested in the Trust as a shareholder or otherwise and that the effect of any such adverse interests shall be governed by said Master Trust Agreement, Articles of Organization and By-laws.
