Conditions

(a)
|
Prior to any Disposition19 by an Affiliated Entity of a security acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction,
the Adviser to each Regulated Fund that participated in the Co-Investment Transaction will be notified and each such Regulated Fund given the opportunity to participate pro rata based on the proportion of its holdings relative to the other
Affiliated Entities participating in such Disposition.
|
(b)
|
Prior to any Disposition by a Regulated Fund of a security acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction, the Required
Majority will take the steps set forth in Section 57(f) of the 1940 Act, unless: (i) each Affiliated Entity holding the security participates in the Disposition in approximate proportion to its then-current holding of the security; or (ii)
the Disposition is a sale of a Tradable Security.20
|
(a)
|
Each Regulated Fund’s directors will oversee the Regulated Fund’s participation in the co-investment program in the
exercise of their reasonable business judgment.
|
(b)
|
Prior to a Regulated Fund’s participation in Co-Investment Transactions, the Regulated Fund’s Board, including a
Required Majority, will: (i) review the Co-Investment Policies, to ensure that they are reasonably designed to
|
prevent the Regulated Fund from being disadvantaged by participation in the co-investment program; and (ii) approve policies and procedures of the Regulated Fund that are reasonably
designed to ensure compliance with the terms of the Order.
|
(c)
|
At least quarterly, each Regulated Fund’s Adviser and chief compliance officer (as defined in Rule 38a-l(a)(4)) will
provide the Regulated Fund Boards with reports or other information requested by the Board related to a Regulated Fund’s participation in Co-Investment Transactions and a summary of matters, if any, deemed significant that may have arisen

|
(d)

Every year, each Regulated Fund’s Adviser and chief compliance officer will provide the Regulated Fund’s Board with
reports or other information requested by the Board related to the Regulated Fund’s participation in the co-investment program and any material changes in the Affiliated Entities’ participation in the co-investment program, including changes
to the Affiliated Entities’ Co-Investment Policies.
|
(e)
|
The Adviser and the chief compliance officer will also notify the Regulated Fund’s Board of a compliance matter
related to the Regulated Fund’s participation in the co-investment program and related Co-Investment Policies or the Regulated Fund’s policies and procedures approved pursuant to (b) above that a Regulated Fund’s chief compliance officer
