Portfolio Transactions The Manager is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Portfolio and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available prices and most favorable executions, except as prescribed herein. It is understood that the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached a fiduciary duty to the Fund or to the Portfolio, or be in breach of any obligation owing to the Fund or to the Portfolio under this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the Portfolio to pay a member of a securities exchange, a broker, or a dealer a commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Portfolio in excess of the amount of commission another member of an exchange, broker, or dealer would have charged if the Manager determines in good faith that the commission paid was reasonable in relation to the brokerage or research services provided by such member, broker, or dealer, viewed in terms of that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to its accounts, including the Fund, as to which it exercises investment discretion. The Manager will promptly communicate to the officers and directors of the Fund such information relating to transactions for the Portfolio as they may reasonably request.

Intercompany Transactions 72 Section 9.13
Asset Sale The Company or the Parent shall not and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, in one or a series of related transactions, convey, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of their property, business or assets, including by merger or consolidation (in the case of a Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary), and including any sale or other transfer or issuance of any Equity Interests of any Subsidiary, whether by the Company or the Parent or one of their respective Subsidiaries or through the issuance, sale or transfer of Equity Interests by one of their respective Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries and including any sale and leaseback transaction (any of the foregoing, an "Asset Sale"), unless: (1) at least 75% of the total consideration for such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales consists of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, that with respect to the sale of one or more hotel properties, up to 75% of the consideration may consist of Indebtedness of the purchaser of such hotel properties so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a first priority Lien on the hotel property or properties sold; (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such Asset Sale; and (3) the Parent and the Company determine in good faith that the consideration received by the Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, equals the fair market value for such Asset Sale. In the event and to the extent that immediately following any Asset Sale the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company or the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries from such Asset Sale, plus the Net Cash Proceeds of any other Asset Sale(s) which occurred (i) on or after the Issue Date and (ii) within the 360-day period proceeding such Asset Sale, exceed 10% of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, the Indenture provides that within 360 days following such Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (the "Asset Sale Amount") shall be: (1) invested in assets and property (except in connection with the acquisition of a Subsidiary which is a Guarantor in a Related Business, other than notes, bonds, obligation and securities) which shall immediately constitute or be a part of a Related Business of the Company or the Parent or such Subsidiary (if it continues to be a Subsidiary) immediately following such transaction, or (2) used to retire Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement and to permanently reduce the amount of such Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.7(b) of the Indenture. Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or the Parent may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. The accumulated Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales not applied as set forth above shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within 30 days after the date that the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10 million, which date shall not be prior to 390 days after the Asset Sale that generated such Excess Proceeds, the Company shall apply an amount (the "Asset Sale Offer Amount") equal to the Excess Proceeds to the repurchase of the Notes and such other Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Notes and with provisions requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds from such Asset Sale pursuant to a cash offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any) (pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) of the Notes and such other Indebtedness then outstanding) (the "Asset Sale Offer") at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) (the "Asset Sale Offer Price") together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of payment. Each Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its commencement (the "Asset Sale Offer Period").
Sale-Leaseback Transactions The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, after the date hereof, enter into any Sale-Leaseback Transaction other than Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transactions (as defined below). The following Sale-Leaseback Transactions constitute “Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transactions”:
(a) a Sale-Leaseback Transaction involving the leasing by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of model homes in the Company’s (including its Subsidiaries’) communities;
(b) a Sale-Leaseback Transaction relating to a property entered into within 180 days after the later of the date of acquisition of such property by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full operations on such property, whichever is later;
(c) a Sale-Leaseback Transaction where the Company, within 365 days after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied to the retirement of any Funded Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Funded Debt which by its terms or the terms of the instrument by which it was issued is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes) proceeds of the sale of such property, but only to the extent of the amount of proceeds so applied;
(d) a Sale-Leaseback Transaction where the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary would, on the effective date of such sale or transfer, be entitled, pursuant to this Indenture, to issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon the relevant property, at least equal in amount to the then present value (discounted at the actual rate of interest of the Sale-Leaseback Transaction) of the obligation for the net rental payments in respect of such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes;
(e) a Sale-Leaseback Transaction between the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary or among Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that the lessor shall be the Company or a wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary; and
(f) a Sale-Leaseback Transaction which has a lease of no more than three years in length. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, effect any Sale-Leaseback Transaction involving any real or tangible personal property which is not a Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transaction, provided that the aggregate net sales proceeds from all Sale-Leaseback Transactions which are not Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transactions, together with all Indebtedness secured by Liens other than Permitted Liens, does not exceed 20% of the total consolidated stockholders’ equity of the Company as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet that is contained or incorporated in the latest annual report on Form 10-K (or equivalent report) or quarterly report on Form 10-Q (or equivalent report) filed with the SEC, and is as of a date not more than 181 days prior to the date of determination, in the case of the consolidated balance sheet contained or incorporated in an annual report on Form 10-K, or 135 days prior to the date of determination, in the case of the consolidated balance sheet contained in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
