Contractual Obligations and Similar Investments From time to time, the Fund's Investments may include Investments that are not ownership interests as may be represented by certificate (whether registered or bearer), by entry in a Securities Depository or by Book-Entry Agent, registrar or similar agent for recording ownership interests in the relevant Investment. If the Fund shall at any time acquire such Investments, including without limitation deposit obligations, loan participations, repurchase agreements and derivative arrangements, the Custodian shall (a) receive and retain, to the extent the same are provided to the Custodian, confirmations or other documents evidencing the arrangement; and (b) perform on the Fund's account in accordance with the terms of the applicable arrangement, but only to the extent directed to do so by Instruction. The Custodian shall have no responsibility for agreements running to the Fund as to which it is not a party other than to retain, to the extent the same are provided to the Custodian, documents or copies of documents evidencing the arrangement and, in accordance with Instruction, to include such arrangements in reports made to the Fund.
Required or Permitted Disclosure In the event that any requests or demands are made for the disclosure of Confidential Information, other than requests to Agent for Shareholder records pursuant to standard subpoenas from state or federal government authorities (e.g., divorce and criminal actions), the party receiving such request will promptly notify the other party to secure instructions from an authorized officer of such party as to such request and to enable the other party the opportunity to obtain a protective order or other confidential treatment, unless such notification is otherwise prohibited by law or court order. Each party expressly reserves the right, however, to disclose Confidential Information to any person whenever it is advised by counsel that it may be held liable for the failure to disclose such Confidential Information or if required by law or court order.
Payment Permitted If No Default Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time, except during the pendency of the conditions described in paragraph (a) of Section 12.2 or of any Proceeding referred to in Section 12.2, from making payments at any time of principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge (in accordance with Section 12.8) that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article XII, except as provided in Section 12.8.
Permitted Transactions The Member is free to engage in any activity on its own or by the means of any entity. The Member’s fiduciary duty of loyalty, as it applies to outside business activities and opportunities, and the “corporate opportunity doctrine,” as such doctrine may be described under general corporation law, is hereby eliminated to the maximum extent allowed by the Act.
Subordinated Disposition Fee If the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more Properties, the Advisor or an Affiliate shall receive a Subordinated Disposition Fee equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a Competitive Real Estate Commission or (ii) 3% of the sales price of such Property or Properties. The Subordinated Disposition Fee will be paid only if Stockholders have received total Distributions in an amount equal to the sum of their aggregate Invested Capital and their aggregate Stockholders' 8% Return. To the extent that Subordinated Disposition Fees are not paid by the Company on a current basis due to the foregoing limitation, the unpaid fees will be accrued and paid at such time as the subordination conditions have been satisfied. The Subordinated Disposition Fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions paid to all Persons by the Company shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the Contract Sales Price of a Property or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to such time as the Stockholders have received total Distributions in an amount equal to 100% of Invested Capital plus an amount sufficient to pay the Stockholders' 8% Return through the Termination Date, an appraisal of the Properties then owned by the Company shall be made and the Subordinated Disposition Fee on Properties previously sold will be deemed earned if the Appraised Value of the Properties then owned by the Company plus total Distributions received prior to the Termination Date equals 100% of Invested Capital plus an amount sufficient to pay the Stockholders' 8% Return through the Termination Date. Upon Listing, if the Advisor has accrued but not been paid such Subordinated Disposition Fee, then for purposes of determining whether the subordination conditions have been satisfied, Stockholders will be deemed to have received a Distribution in the amount equal to the product of the total number of Shares outstanding and the average closing price of the Shares over a period, beginning 180 days after Listing, of 30 days during which the Shares are traded.
