		(1) made at the direction of another person, including a parent organization, subsidiary, division, department, branch, or local unit of a business, labor union, or group;

		(3) made by an employee, agent, or other person if an employer, principal, supervisor, or contractor reimburses the employee, agent, or other person for the contribution in money or anything of value;
