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.

In the event a distribution is delayed pursuant to this Section, the originally scheduled distribution shall be delayed for six (6) months, and shall commence instead on the first day of the seventh month following Separation from Service. If payments are scheduled to be made in installments, the first six (6) months of installment payments shall be delayed, aggregated, and paid instead on the first day of the seventh month, after which all installment payments shall be made on their regular schedule.
