SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-67506; File No. SR-OCC-2012-12]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Amend OCC's By-Laws To
Allow the Corporation To Approve OCC's Form of Clearing Member
Application and Form of Clearing Agreement

July 26, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on July 16, 2012, The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'' or the
``Corporation'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II
and III below, which Items have been prepared primarily by OCC. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change would amend OCC's By-Laws to allow the
Corporation to approve OCC's form of clearing member application and
form of clearing agreement. The proposed rule change also amends the
Agreement for OCC Services to reflect operational changes OCC made
since OCC first created the agreement.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. OCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend OCC's By-Laws
to allow the Corporation to approve OCC's form of clearing member
application and form of clearing agreement. Currently, OCC's Board of
Directors must approve the form of these documents. OCC is also
proposing general updates to its Agreement for OCC Services which has
not been updated for several years.
    OCC requires applicants for clearing membership at OCC to complete
an application and, once an applicant becomes a clearing member,
requires clearing members to enter into a clearing member agreement.
Currently, OCC's By-Laws and Rules set forth the qualifications and
requirements for clearing membership at OCC. The clearing member
application is designed to elicit relevant information from an
applicant for clearing membership in order for OCC to determine if the
applicant meets OCC's qualifications for clearing membership. The
clearing member agreement is a contract between OCC and a clearing
member whereby the clearing member agrees to meet all of the
requirements of clearing membership at OCC. The By-Laws require OCC's
Board of Directors to

approve both the form of clearing member application and the form of
clearing member agreement.
    In addition to the clearing member agreement, clearing members may
also enter into an Agreement for OCC Services. The Agreement for OCC
Services sets forth certain ancillary services OCC provides to its
clearing members that are in addition to those services set forth in
the By-Laws and Rules. The Agreement for OCC Services is set up as a
master agreement. Clearing members may then choose the specific
ancillary services they desire and then execute the appropriate
ancillary services supplement. Such ancillary services may include, for
example, access to OCC's Data Distribution Services, internet access to
OCC information and data systems, and OCC's theoretical profit and loss
values service.
Proposed By-Law and Rule Changes
    OCC proposes to amend the applicable provisions of its By-Laws to
state that both the form of clearing member application and the form of
clearing member agreement be specified by OCC generally, rather than
its Board of Directors. The requirement that the Board of Directors
approve the form of such documents is overly ministerial given that
OCC's By-Laws specify the substantive requirements of both the clearing
member application and the clearing member agreement.
    OCC also proposes to amend its Agreement for OCC Services (see
Exhibit 5 to OCC's proposed rule filing) to reflect operational changes
OCC made since OCC first created the agreement. These changes include
broader references to ``clearing services'' provided by OCC and not
only to ``options'' clearing services. Advanced notice of 90 days of
fee changes would be eliminated because fee changes to the ancillary
services program are filed as rule changes and are infrequent in
nature. Language would be added to the Agreement for OCC Services such
that the clearing member authorizes OCC to withdraw funds from the
clearing member's firm account, on or after the fifth business day
following the end of the calendar month. This language conforms to OCC
Rules. In addition, a provision referring to the exclusivity of the
warranties set forth in the Agreement for OCC Services would be
eliminated because the agreement contains no warranty provisions. Any
applicable warranty provisions would be contained within the ancillary
supplements to the Agreement for OCC Services.
    OCC believes that the proposed changes to its By-Laws and Agreement
for OCC Services are consistent with the purposes and requirements of
Section 17A of the Act because they are designed to remove impediments
to, and perfect the mechanism of, a national system for the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions.\3\ The
proposed changes eliminate inefficient and burdensome administrative
procedures which unnecessarily require OCC's Board approval for the
form of clearing member application and agreement. The proposed rule
change is not inconsistent with any rules of OCC, including those
proposed to be amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    OCC does not believe that the proposed rule change would impose any
burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments were not and are not intended to be solicited with
respect to the proposed rule change and none have been received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove the proposed rule change or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Airbus Model A300 B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 airplanes; Airbus
Model A300 B4-600 series airplanes; and Airbus Model A300 B4-600R
series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports indicating
that, on airplanes that received a certain repair following crack
findings, cracks can re-initiate. This proposed AD would require
repetitive inspections for cracking of the frame (FR) 40 forward
fittings for airplanes previously repaired. We are proposing this AD to
detect and correct cracking on the FR 40 forward fittings, which could
result in rupture of the forward fittings and reduction of in-flight
structural strength.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 30, 2015.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0199, dated September 05, 2014 (referred
to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model
A300 B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 airplanes; Airbus Model A300 B4-600
series airplanes; and Airbus Model A300 B4-600R series airplanes. The
MCAI states:

    During routine inspection on an A300-600 aeroplane, a crack was
found in the right-hand frame (FR) 40 forward fitting between
stringer (STRG) 32 and STRG 33. The subject aeroplane had previously
been modified, as a crack prevention measure, in accordance with
Airbus SB A300-57-6053 (mod 10453).
    To ensure the structural integrity of FR 40, pending completion
of the full root cause analysis using a refined Finite Element Model
(FEM), EASA issued AD 2009-0094 [dated April 21, 2009, http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2009-0094], to require, a one-time Detailed
Visual Inspection (DVI) of A300 and A300-600 aeroplanes on which
Airbus SB A300-53-0297 or SB A300-57-6053, as applicable, was
embodied as a crack prevention measure.
    Thereafter, cracks were found during maintenance check in the FR
40 forward fitting on two aeroplanes, one A300 with Airbus SB A300-
53-0297 embodied and one A300-600 with Airbus SB A300-57-6053
embodied. EASA AD 2009-0094 had been accomplished on both
aeroplanes.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD 2011-0163 [dated August 30, 2011,
http://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2011-0163], superseding EASA AD 2009-
0094, to require, for aeroplanes modified preventively, repetitive
DVI of the FR 40 forward fitting (without nut removal),
accomplishment of a one-time Eddy Current (EC) inspection or liquid
penetrant inspection of this area (with nut removal) and, depending
on findings, the accomplishment of associated corrective actions.
    A detailed FEM study was recently completed which demonstrated
that, on aeroplanes repaired following crack findings in accordance
with the instructions of Airbus SB A300-53-0297 or SB A300-57-6053
at any revision, as applicable, cracks can re-initiate.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive inspections of the FR 40 forward fitting for aeroplanes
repaired in accordance with the instructions of Airbus SB A300-53-
0297 or SB A300-57-6053 following crack findings.

    The corrective actions include a repair using a method approved by
the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane
Directorate, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); or
Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA).
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
0084.

Relevant Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following Airbus service information:
     Airbus A300 Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A53W002-14,
dated April 02, 2014.
     Airbus A300 AOT A57W003-14, Revision 01, dated April 17,
2014.
    Airbus A300 Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A53W002-14, dated
April 02, 2014, describes procedures for repetitive inspections of the
FR40 forward fitting on A300 aircraft post MOD 10453S20571. Airbus A300
AOT A57W003-14, Revision 01, dated April 17, 2014, describes procedures
for repetitive inspections of the FR40 forward fitting on A300-600
aircraft pre MOD 10221S20394 and post MOD 10453S20571. The actions
described in this service information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the MCAI. This service information is
reasonably available; see ADDRESSES for ways to access this service
information.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 26 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 3 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $6,630, or $255
per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Applicants' Representations

    1. The Company, a Delaware corporation, is organized as a closed-
end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a
BDC under section 54(a) of the Act.\2\ The Company's Objectives and
Strategies \3\ are to generate both current income and capital
appreciation through debt and equity investments. The board of

directors of the Company (the ``Company Board'') is comprised of six
directors. The Company Board and any board of directors of a Future
Regulated Fund (defined below) (the ``Boards'' and each a ``Board'')
will be comprised of directors, a majority of whom will not be
``interested persons,'' within the meaning of section 2(a)(19) of the
Act (the ``Non-Interested Directors''), of the Company or any Future
Regulated Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Section 2(a)(48) defines a BDC to be any closed-end
investment company that operates for the purpose of making
investments in securities described in sections 55(a)(1) through
55(a)(3) of the Act and makes available significant managerial
assistance with respect to the issuers of such securities.
    \3\ ``Objectives and Strategies'' means a Regulated Fund's
(defined below) investment objectives and strategies, as described
in the Regulated Fund's registration statement on Form N-2, other
filings the Regulated Fund has made with the Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the ``Securities Act'') or under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Regulated Fund's reports to
shareholders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. MMSF is a Delaware limited partnership that is exempt from
registration pursuant to section 3(c)(7) of the Act. MMSF's investment
objective is to generate current income through senior debt
investments.
    3. BlackRock Capital Advisor, a Delaware limited liability company,
intends to be registered with the Commission as an investment adviser
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the ``Advisers Act'').
BlackRock Capital Advisor is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
BlackRock, Inc., a New York based global investment management firm.
BlackRock Capital Advisor will serve as investment adviser to the
Company and MMSF.
    4. Applicants seek an order (``Order'') to permit one or more
Regulated Funds \4\ and/or one or more Affiliated Funds \5\ to
participate in the same investment opportunities through a proposed co-
investment program (the ``Co-Investment Program'') where such
participation would otherwise be prohibited under either or both of
sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) and rule 17d-1 by (a) co-investing with
each other in securities issued by issuers in private placement
transactions in which a BRC Advisor negotiates terms in addition to
price; \6\ and (b) making additional investments in securities,
including loans, of such issuers, including through the exercise of
warrants, conversion privileges, and other rights to purchase
securities of the issuers (``Follow-On Investments''). ``Co-Investment
Transaction'' means any transaction in which a Regulated Fund (or its
Wholly-Owned Investment Sub, defined below) participated together with
one or more other Regulated Funds and/or one or more Affiliated Funds
in reliance on the requested Order. ``Potential Co-Investment
Transaction'' means any investment opportunity in which a Regulated
Fund (or its Wholly-Owned Investment Sub) could not participate
together with one or more Affiliated Funds and/or one or more other
Regulated Funds without obtaining and relying on the Order.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``Regulated Fund'' means the Company and any Future
Regulated Fund. ``Future Regulated Fund'' means any closed-end
management investment company (a) that is registered under the Act
or has elected to be regulated as a BDC, (b) whose investment
adviser is a BRC Advisor, and (c) that intends to participate in the
Co-Investment Program. The term ``BRC Advisor'' means (a) BlackRock
Capital Advisor and (b) any future investment adviser that is
controlled by BlackRock Capital Advisor and is registered as an
investment adviser under the Advisers Act.
    \5\ ``Affiliated Fund'' means MMSF and any Future Affiliated
Fund. ``Future Affiliated Fund'' means any entity (a) whose
investment adviser is a BRC Advisor, (b) that would be an investment
company but for section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Act, and (c) that
intends to participate in the Co-Investment Program.
    \6\ The term ``private placement transactions'' means
transactions in which the offer and sale of securities by the issuer
are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
    \7\ All existing entities that currently intend to rely upon the
requested Order have been named as applicants. Any other existing or
future entity that subsequently relies on the Order will comply with
the terms and conditions of the application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. Applicants state that any of the Regulated Funds may, from time
to time, form one or more Wholly-Owned Investment Subs.\8\ Such a
subsidiary would be prohibited from investing in a Co-Investment
Transaction with any Affiliated Fund or Regulated Fund because it would
be a company controlled by its parent Regulated Fund for purposes of
section 57(a)(4) and rule 17d-1. Applicants request that each Wholly-
Owned Investment Sub be permitted to participate in Co-Investment
Transactions in lieu of its parent Regulated Fund and that the Wholly-
Owned Investment Sub's participation in any such transaction be
treated, for purposes of the requested Order, as though the parent
Regulated Fund were participating directly. Applicants represent that
this treatment is justified because a Wholly-Owned Investment Sub would
have no purpose other than serving as a holding vehicle for the
Regulated Fund's investments and, therefore, no conflicts of interest
could arise between the Regulated Fund and the Wholly-Owned Investment
Sub. The Regulated Fund's Board would make all relevant determinations
under the conditions with regard to a Wholly-Owned Investment Sub's
participation in a Co-Investment Transaction, and the Regulated Fund's
Board would be informed of, and take into consideration, any proposed
use of a Wholly-Owned Investment Sub in the Regulated Fund's place. If
the Regulated Fund proposes to participate in the same Co-Investment
Transaction with any of its Wholly-Owned Investment Subs, the Board
will also be informed of, and take into consideration, the relative
participation of the Regulated Fund and the Wholly-Owned Investment
Sub.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The term ``Wholly-Owned Investment Sub'' means an entity (i)
that is wholly-owned by a Regulated Fund (with the Regulated Fund at
all times holding, beneficially and of record, 100% of the voting
and economic interests); (ii) whose sole business purpose is to hold
one or more investments on behalf of the Regulated Fund; (iii) with
respect to which the Regulated Fund's Board has the sole authority
to make all determinations with respect to the entity's
participation under the conditions of the application; and (iv) that
would be an investment company but for section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of
the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. When considering Potential Co-Investment Transactions for any
Regulated Fund, the applicable BRC Advisor will consider only the
Objectives and Strategies, investment policies, investment positions,
capital available for investment, and other pertinent factors
applicable to that Regulated Fund. Before relying on the requested
Order, the Board of each Regulated Fund, including the Non-Interested
Directors, will have determined that it is in the best interests of the
Regulated Fund to participate in the Co-Investment Transactions.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Regulated Funds, however, will not be obligated to
invest, or co-invest, when investment opportunities are referred to
them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. Other than pro rata dispositions and Follow-On Investments as
provided in conditions 7 and 8, and after making the determinations
required in conditions 1 and 2(a), the BRC Advisor will present each
Potential Co-Investment Transaction and the proposed allocation to the
directors of the Board eligible to vote under section 57(o) of the Act
(``Eligible Directors''), and the ``required majority,'' as defined in
section 57(o) of the Act (``Required Majority'') \10\ will approve each
Co-Investment Transaction prior to any investment by the participating
Regulated Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In the case of a Regulated Fund that is a registered
closed-end fund, the Board members that make up the Required
Majority will be determined as if the Regulated Fund were a BDC
subject to section 57(o).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    8. With respect to the pro rata dispositions and Follow-On
Investments provided in conditions 7 and 8, a Regulated Fund may
participate in a pro rata disposition or Follow-On Investment without
obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if, among other
things: (i) The proposed participation of each Regulated Fund and
Affiliated Fund in such disposition is proportionate to its outstanding
investments in the issuer immediately preceding the disposition or
Follow-On Investment, as the case may be; and (ii) the Board of the
Regulated Fund has approved that Regulated Fund's participation in pro
rata dispositions and Follow-On Investments as being in the best
interests of the Regulated Fund. If the Board does not so approve, any

such disposition or Follow-On Investment will be submitted to the
Regulated Fund's Eligible Directors. The Board of any Regulated Fund
may at any time rescind, suspend or qualify its approval of pro rata
dispositions and Follow-On Investments with the result that all
dispositions and/or Follow-On Investments must be submitted to the
Eligible Directors.
    9. No Non-Interested Director of a Regulated Fund will have a
financial interest in any Co-Investment Transaction, other than through
share ownership in one of the Regulated Funds.
    10. Applicants also represent that if a BRC Advisor or its
principals, or any person controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with a BRC Advisor or its principals, and the Affiliated Funds
(collectively, the ``Holders'') own in the aggregate more than 25% of
the outstanding voting shares of a Regulated Fund (the ``Shares''),
then the Holders will vote such Shares as required under condition 14.

Applicants' Legal Analysis

    1. Section 57(a)(4) of the Act prohibits certain affiliated persons
of a BDC from participating in joint transactions with the BDC or a
company controlled by a BDC in contravention of rules as prescribed by
the Commission. Under section 57(b)(2) of the Act, any person who is
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with a BDC is subject to section 57(a)(4). Applicants submit
that each of the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds could be deemed
to be a person related to each Regulated Fund in a manner described by
section 57(b) by virtue of being under common control. Section 57(i) of
the Act provides that, until the Commission prescribes rules under
section 57(a)(4), the Commission's rules under section 17(d) of the Act
applicable to registered closed-end investment companies will be deemed
to apply to transactions subject to section 57(a)(4). Because the
Commission has not adopted any rules under section 57(a)(4), rule 17d-1
also applies to joint transactions with Regulated Funds that are BDCs.
Section 17(d) of the Act and rule 17d-1 under the Act are applicable to
Regulated Funds that are registered closed-end investment companies.
    2. Section 17(d) of the Act and rule 17d-1 under the Act prohibit
affiliated persons of a registered investment company from
participating in joint transactions with the company unless the
Commission has granted an order permitting such transactions. In
passing upon applications under rule 17d-1, the Commission considers
whether the company's participation in the joint transaction is
consistent with the provisions, policies, and purposes of the Act and
the extent to which such participation is on a basis different from or
less advantageous than that of other participants.
    3. Applicants state that in the absence of the requested relief,
the Regulated Funds would be, in some circumstances, limited in their
ability to participate in attractive and appropriate investment
opportunities. Applicants believe that the proposed terms and
conditions will ensure that the Co-Investment Transactions are
consistent with the protection of each Regulated Fund's shareholders
and with the purposes intended by the policies and provisions of the
Act. Applicants state that the Regulated Funds' participation in the
Co-Investment Transactions will be consistent with the provisions,
policies, and purposes of the Act and on a basis that is not different
from or less advantageous than that of other participants.

Applicants' Conditions

    Applicants agree that the Order will be subject to the following
conditions:
    1. Each time a BRC Advisor considers a Potential Co-Investment
Transaction for an Affiliated Fund or another Regulated Fund that falls
within a Regulated Fund's then-current Objectives and Strategies, the
Regulated Fund's BRC Advisor will make an independent determination of
the appropriateness of the investment for such Regulated Fund in light
of the Regulated Fund's then-current circumstances.
    2. (a) If the BRC Advisor deems a Regulated Fund's participation in
any Potential Co-Investment Transaction to be appropriate for the
Regulated Fund, it will then determine an appropriate level of
investment for the Regulated Fund.
    (b) If the aggregate amount recommended by the applicable BRC
Advisor to be invested by the applicable Regulated Fund in the
Potential Co-Investment Transaction, together with the amount proposed
to be invested by the other participating Regulated Funds and
Affiliated Funds, collectively, in the same transaction, exceeds the
amount of the investment opportunity, the investment opportunity will
be allocated among them pro rata based on each participant's capital
available for investment in the asset class being allocated, up to the
amount proposed to be invested by each. The applicable BRC Advisor will
provide the Eligible Directors of each participating Regulated Fund
with information concerning each participating party's available
capital to assist the Eligible Directors with their review of the
Regulated Fund's investments for compliance with these allocation
procedures.
    (c) After making the determinations required in conditions 1 and
2(a), the applicable BRC Advisor will distribute written information
concerning the Potential Co-Investment Transaction (including the
amount proposed to be invested by each participating Regulated Fund and
Affiliated Fund) to the Eligible Directors of each participating
Regulated Fund for their consideration. A Regulated Fund will co-invest
with one or more other Regulated Funds and/or one or more Affiliated
Funds only if, prior to the Regulated Fund's participation in the
Potential Co-Investment Transaction, a Required Majority concludes
that:
    (i) The terms of the Potential Co-Investment Transaction, including
the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Regulated
Fund and its shareholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of
the Regulated Fund or its shareholders on the part of any person
concerned;
    (ii) the Potential Co-Investment Transaction is consistent with:
    (A) The interests of the shareholders of the Regulated Fund; and
    (B) the Regulated Fund's then-current Objectives and Strategies;
    (iii) the investment by any other Regulated Funds or Affiliated
Funds would not disadvantage the Regulated Fund, and participation by
the participating Regulated Fund would not be on a basis different from
or less advantageous than that of other Regulated Funds or Affiliated
Funds; provided that, if any other Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund,
but not the Regulated Fund itself, gains the right to nominate a
director for election to a portfolio company's board of directors or
the right to have a board observer or any similar right to participate
in the governance or management of the portfolio company, such event
shall not be interpreted to prohibit the Required Majority from
reaching the conclusions required by this condition (2)(c)(iii), if:
    (A) The Eligible Directors will have the right to ratify the
selection of such director or board observer, if any;
    (B) the applicable BRC Advisor agrees to, and does, provide
periodic reports to the Regulated Fund's Board with respect to the
actions of such director or the information received by such board
observer or obtained through the exercise of any similar right to

participate in the governance or management of the portfolio company;
and
    (C) any fees or other compensation that any Affiliated Fund or any
Regulated Fund or any affiliated person of any Affiliated Fund or any
Regulated Fund receives in connection with the right of an Affiliated
Fund or a Regulated Fund to nominate a director or appoint a board
observer or otherwise to participate in the governance or management of
the portfolio company will be shared proportionately among the
participating Affiliated Funds (who each may, in turn, share its
portion with its affiliated persons) and the participating Regulated
Funds in accordance with the amount of each party's investment; and
    (iv) the proposed investment by the Regulated Fund will not benefit
the BRC Advisors, the Affiliated Funds or the other Regulated Funds or
any affiliated person of any of them (other than the parties to the Co-
Investment Transaction), except (A) to the extent permitted by
condition 13, (B) to the extent permitted by section 17(e) or 57(k) of
the Act, as applicable, (C) indirectly, as a result of an interest in
the securities issued by one of the parties to the Co-Investment
Transaction, or (D) in the case of fees or other compensation described
in condition 2(c)(iii)(C).
    3. Each Regulated Fund has the right to decline to participate in
any Potential Co-Investment Transaction or to invest less than the
amount proposed.
    4. The applicable BRC Advisor will present to the Board of each
Regulated Fund, on a quarterly basis, a record of all investments in
Potential Co-Investment Transactions made by any of the other Regulated
Funds or Affiliated Funds during the preceding quarter that fell within
the Regulated Fund's then-current Objectives and Strategies that were
not made available to the Regulated Fund, and an explanation of why the
investment opportunities were not offered to the Regulated Fund. All
information presented to the Board pursuant to this condition will be
kept for the life of the Regulated Fund and at least two years
thereafter, and will be subject to examination by the Commission and
its staff.
    5. Except for Follow-On Investments made in accordance with
condition 8,\11\ a Regulated Fund will not invest in reliance on the
Order in any issuer in which another Regulated Fund, Affiliated Fund,
or any affiliated person of another Regulated Fund or Affiliated Fund
is an existing investor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ This exception applies only to Follow-On Investments by a
Regulated Fund in issuers in which that Regulated Fund already holds
investments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. A Regulated Fund will not participate in any Potential Co-
Investment Transaction unless the terms, conditions, price, class of
securities to be purchased, settlement date, and registration rights
will be the same for each participating Regulated Fund and Affiliated
Fund. The grant to an Affiliated Fund or another Regulated Fund, but
not the Regulated Fund, of the right to nominate a director for
election to a portfolio company's board of directors, the right to have
an observer on the board of directors or similar rights to participate
in the governance or management of the portfolio company will not be
interpreted so as to violate this condition 6, if conditions
2(c)(iii)(A), (B) and (C) are met.
    7. (a) If any Affiliated Fund or any Regulated Fund elects to sell,
exchange or otherwise dispose of an interest in a security that was
acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction, the applicable BRC Advisors
will:
    (i) Notify each Regulated Fund that participated in the Co-
Investment Transaction of the proposed disposition at the earliest
practical time; and
    (ii) formulate a recommendation as to participation by each
Regulated Fund in the disposition.
    (b) Each Regulated Fund will have the right to participate in such
disposition on a proportionate basis, at the same price and on the same
terms and conditions as those applicable to the participating
Affiliated Funds and Regulated Funds.
    (c) A Regulated Fund may participate in such disposition without
obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if: (i) The proposed
participation of each Regulated Fund and each Affiliated Fund in such
disposition is proportionate to its outstanding investments in the
issuer immediately preceding the disposition; (ii) the Board of the
Regulated Fund has approved as being in the best interests of the
Regulated Fund the ability to participate in such dispositions on a pro
rata basis (as described in greater detail in the application); and
(iii) the Board of the Regulated Fund is provided on a quarterly basis
with a list of all dispositions made in accordance with this condition.
In all other cases, the BRC Advisor will provide its written
recommendation as to the Regulated Fund's participation to the Eligible
Directors, and the Regulated Fund will participate in such disposition
solely to the extent that a Required Majority determines that it is in
the Regulated Fund's best interests.
    (d) Each Affiliated Fund and each Regulated Fund will bear its own
expenses in connection with any such disposition.
    8. (a) If any Affiliated Fund or any Regulated Fund desires to make
a Follow-On Investment in a portfolio company whose securities were
acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction, the applicable BRC Advisors
will:
    (i) Notify each Regulated Fund that participated in the Co-
Investment Transaction of the proposed transaction at the earliest
practical time; and
    (ii) formulate a recommendation as to the proposed participation,
including the amount of the proposed Follow-On Investment, by each
Regulated Fund.
    (b) A Regulated Fund may participate in such Follow-On Investment
without obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if: (i) The
proposed participation of each Regulated Fund and each Affiliated Fund
in such investment is proportionate to its outstanding investments in
the issuer immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment; and (ii) the
Board of the Regulated Fund has approved as being in the best interests
of the Regulated Fund the ability to participate in Follow-On
Investments on a pro rata basis (as described in greater detail in the
application). In all other cases, the BRC Advisor will provide its
written recommendation as to the Regulated Fund's participation to the
Eligible Directors, and the Regulated Fund will participate in such
Follow-On Investment solely to the extent that a Required Majority
determines that it is in the Regulated Fund's best interests.
    (c) If, with respect to any Follow-On Investment:
    (i) The amount of the opportunity is not based on the Regulated
Funds' and the Affiliated Funds' outstanding investments immediately
preceding the Follow-On Investment; and
    (ii) the aggregate amount recommended by the BRC Advisor to be
invested by each Regulated Fund in the Follow-On Investment, together
with the amount proposed to be invested by the participating Affiliated
Funds in the same transaction, exceeds the amount of the opportunity;
then the amount invested by each such party will be allocated among
them pro rata based on each participant's capital available for
investment in the asset class being allocated, up to the amount
proposed to be invested by each.
    (d) The acquisition of Follow-On Investments as permitted by this
condition will be considered a Co-

Investment Transaction for all purposes and subject to the other
conditions set forth in the application.
    9. The Non-Interested Directors of each Regulated Fund will be
provided quarterly for review all information concerning Potential Co-
Investment Transactions and Co-Investment Transactions, including
investments made by other Regulated Funds or Affiliated Funds that the
Regulated Fund considered but declined to participate in, so that the
Non-Interested Directors may determine whether all investments made
during the preceding quarter, including those investments that the
Regulated Fund considered but declined to participate in, comply with
the conditions of the Order. In addition, the Non-Interested Directors
will consider at least annually the continued appropriateness for the
Regulated Fund of participating in new and existing Co-Investment
Transactions.
    10. Each Regulated Fund will maintain the records required by
section 57(f)(3) of the Act as if each of the Regulated Funds were a
BDC and each of the investments permitted under these conditions were
approved by the Required Majority under section 57(f) of the Act.
    11. No Non-Interested Director of a Regulated Fund will also be a
director, general partner, managing member or principal, or otherwise
an ``affiliated person'' (as defined in the Act) of an Affiliated Fund.
    12. The expenses, if any, associated with acquiring, holding or
disposing of any securities acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction
(including, without limitation, the expenses of the distribution of any
such securities registered for sale under the Securities Act) will, to
the extent not payable by the BRC Advisors under their respective
investment advisory agreements with Affiliated Funds and the Regulated
Funds, be shared by the Regulated Funds and the Affiliated Funds in
proportion to the relative amounts of the securities held or to be
acquired or disposed of, as the case may be.
    13. Any transaction fee \12\ (including break-up or commitment fees
but excluding broker's fees contemplated by section 17(e) or 57(k) of
the Act, as applicable), received in connection with a Co-Investment
Transaction will be distributed to the participating Regulated Funds
and Affiliated Funds on a pro rata basis based on the amounts they
invested or committed, as the case may be, in such Co-Investment
Transaction. If any transaction fee is to be held by a BRC Advisor
pending consummation of the transaction, the fee will be deposited into
an account maintained by such BRC Advisor at a bank or banks having the
qualifications prescribed in section 26(a)(1) of the Act, and the
account will earn a competitive rate of interest that will also be
divided pro rata among the participating Regulated Funds and Affiliated
Funds based on the amounts they invest in such Co-Investment
Transaction. None of the Affiliated Funds, the BRC Advisors, the other
Regulated Funds or any affiliated person of the Regulated Funds or
Affiliated Funds will receive additional compensation or remuneration
of any kind as a result of or in connection with a Co-Investment
Transaction (other than (a) in the case of the Regulated Funds and the
Affiliated Funds, the pro rata transaction fees described above and
fees or other compensation described in condition 2(c)(iii)(C); and (b)
in the case of an BRC Advisor, investment advisory fees paid in
accordance with the agreement between the BRC Advisor and the Regulated
Fund or Affiliated Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Applicants are not requesting and the staff is not
providing any relief for transaction fees received in connection
with any Co-Investment Transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    14. If the Holders own in the aggregate more than 25 percent of the
Shares of a Regulated Fund, then the Holders will vote such Shares as
directed by an independent third party when voting on (1) the election
of directors; (2) the removal of one or more directors; or (3) any
other matter under either the Act or applicable State law affecting the
Board's composition, size or manner of election.
    15. Each Regulated Fund's chief compliance officer, as defined in
rule 38a-1(a)(4), will prepare an annual report for its Board each year
that evaluates (and documents the basis of that evaluation) the
Regulated Fund's compliance with the terms and conditions of the
application and the procedures established to achieve such compliance.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.
