Contracts with Affiliates (a) (i) The Partnership may lend or contribute funds or other assets to its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which it has an equity investment and such Subsidiaries and Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner.
Agreements with Affiliates Except for agreements or arrangements with Affiliates wherein the Borrower or one or more of the Restricted Subsidiaries provides services to such Affiliates for fair consideration and which are set forth on Schedule 9 attached hereto, neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries has (i) any agreements or arrangements of any kind with any Affiliate or (ii) any management or consulting agreements of any kind with any Affiliate.
Burdensome Contracts With Affiliates The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any contract, agreement or business arrangement with any of its Affiliates on terms and conditions which are less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than would be usual and customary in similar contracts, agreements or business arrangements between Persons not affiliated with each other.
Dealings with Affiliates No officer, Trustee or agent of the Trust and no officer, director or agent of any investment advisor shall deal for or on behalf of the Trust with himself as principal or agent, or with any partnership, association or corporation in which he has a material financial interest; provided that the foregoing provisions shall not prevent (a) officers and Trustees of the Trust from buying, holding or selling shares in the Trust, or from being partners, officers or directors of or financially interested in any investment advisor to the Trust or in any corporation, firm or association which may at any time have a distributor’s or principal underwriter’s contract with the Trust; (b) purchases or sales of securities or other property if such transaction is permitted by or is exempt or exempted from the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) or any Rule or Regulation thereunder and if such transaction does not involve any commission or profit to any security dealer who is, or one or more of whose partners, shareholders, officers or directors is, an officer or Trustees of the Trust or an officer or director of the investment advisor, manager or principal underwriter of the Trust; (c) employment of legal counsel, registrar, transfer agent, shareholder services, dividend disbursing agent or custodian who is, or has a partner, stockholder, officer or director who is, an officer or Trustee of the Trust; or (d) sharing statistical, research and management expenses, including office hire and services, with any other company in which an officer or Trustee of the Trust is an officer or director or financially interested.
Transactions with Affiliates Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower, except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person.
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.
Relationships with Affiliates The Series may enter into any agreement or contract with the Manager, any Affiliate of the Manager, any other series, any Member, any Affiliate of a Member or any agent of the Manager or the Series without the prior approval of any Member, provided that the agreement or contract must be substantially on terms as would be contained in a similar agreement or contract entered into by the Series as the result of arm’s-length negotiations from a comparable unaffiliated and disinterested third party. Each Member acknowledges that each relationship among the Series, the Manager and/or any Affiliate thereof that is described in any Company budget or other document satisfies the requirements of this Section 4.9.
Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an "Affiliate Transaction"), other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under paragraph (b) below and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are no less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm's-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary. 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.
Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders Enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of transactions with any officer, director or Affiliate of such Person other than (a) advances of working capital to any Loan Party, (b) transfers of cash and assets to any Loan Party, (c) intercompany transactions expressly permitted by Section 8.02, Section 8.03, Section 8.04, Section 8.05 or Section 8.06, (d) normal and reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses of officers and directors in the ordinary course of business and (e) except as otherwise specifically limited in this Agreement, other transactions which are entered into in the ordinary course of such Person’s business on terms and conditions substantially as favorable to such Person as would be obtainable by it in a comparable arms-length transaction with a Person other than an officer, director or Affiliate.
Transactions With Affiliates and Employees Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(r), none of the officers or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner, in each case in excess of $120,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.
