(3) Whether the parties who are involved in the conflict derive any special advantage from it; and

(a) the arrangement is necessary and beneficial to the operations of the listing applicant;
(b) the terms of the arrangement are the same or better than those that can be obtained from third parties;
(c) the arrangement will be reviewed at regular intervals and approved by independent directors or shareholders;
