40. Financial assistance by corporation in respect of acquisition of members' interests

 

A corporation may give financial assistance (whether directly or indirectly and whether by means of a loan, guarantee, the provision of security or otherwise) for the purpose of, or in connection with, any acquisition of a member's interest in that corporation by any person, only—

(a) with the previously obtained written consent of every member of the corporation for the specific assistance;
(b) if, after such assistance is given, the corporation's assets, fairly valued, exceed all its liabilities;
(c) if the corporation is able to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of its business; and
