The Advisor shall not consult with the investment adviser of any other series of the Trust concerning transactions for the Fund or any other series of the Trust.

• Limitation on Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service) with any holder (or any Affiliate of such holder) of 5% or more of any class of Capital Stock of the Company or with any Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person that is not such a holder or an Affiliate. The foregoing limitation does not limit, and shall not apply to:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any holder of 5% or more of any class of Capital Stock of Euramax or any of its Subsidiaries or with any Affiliate of Euramax or of any such holder, on terms that are less favorable to Euramax or that Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that might be obtained at the time from a Person who is not such a holder or Affiliate; provided, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to (a) any transaction between or among Credit Parties; (b) reasonable and customary fees paid to Independent Outside Directors (provided that no fees shall be paid to directors other than Independent Outside Directors), and indemnities provided on behalf of, officers or members of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of Euramax and its Subsidiaries; (c) any employment or compensation arrangement or agreement, employee benefit plan or arrangement, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement or other compensation arrangement entered into by and among Credit Parties in the Ordinary Course of Business; (d) Reserved; (e) other Restricted Junior Payments and Investments that are permitted by the provisions of Sections 6.5 or 6.7, respectively (including, without limitation, payments permitted thereunder with respect to the $125,000,000 Unsecured Debt); (f) transactions described in Schedule 6.12; (g) the grant of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards or similar rights to employees, directors and consultants approved by the board of directors; (h) transactions and payments of fees, costs and expenses in connection with the Transactions and the Permitted Restructuring and payment of the Transaction Costs otherwise permitted hereunder; (i) transactions with Affiliates solely in their capacity as holders of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of Euramax or any of its Subsidiaries, so long as such transaction is with all holders of such class (and there are such non-Affiliate holders) and such Affiliates are treated no more favorably than all other holders of such class generally; (j) transactions with Affiliates that are customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services (including pursuant to joint venture agreements) in the Ordinary Course of Business on terms not materially less favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from a Person that is not an Affiliate of Euramax, as determined in good faith by Holdings or Euramax; and (k) sales of accounts receivables, or participations therein, or any related transaction, pursuant to the terms of a Permitted Receivables Financing.
