B. Follow-On Investments 10. Applicants state that from time to time the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds may have opportunities to make Follow-On Investments 14 in an issuer in which a Regulated Fund and/or one or more other Regulated Funds, and/or one or more Affiliated Funds previously have invested.
11. Applicants propose that FollowOn Investments would be divided into two categories depending on whether the prior investment was a CoInvestment Transaction or a PreBoarding Investment.15 If the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds had previously participated in a CoInvestment Transaction with respect to the issuer, then the terms and approval of the Follow-On Investment would be subject to the Standard Review FollowOns described in Condition 8. If the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds have not previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer but hold a Pre-Boarding Investment, then the terms and approval of the Follow-On Investment would be subject to the Enhanced-Review FollowOns described in Condition 9. All Enhanced Review Follow-Ons require the approval of the Required Majority.

Subsequent CoInvestment Transactions with respect to the issuer would be governed by the 13 The Board of the Regulated Fund will then either approve or disapprove of the investment opportunity in accordance with Condition 2, 6, 7, 8 or 9, as applicable.

requirements of Standard Review Follow-Ons.
12. A Regulated Fund would be permitted to invest in Standard Review Follow-Ons either with the approval of the Required Majority under Condition 8c or without Board approval under Condition 8b if it is i a Pro Rata Follow-On Investment 16 or ii a NonNegotiated Follow-On Investment.17
Applicants believe that these Pro Rata and Non-Negotiated Follow-On Investments do not present a significant opportunity for overreaching on the part of any Adviser and thus do not warrant the time or the attention of the Board.
Pro Rata Follow-On Investments and Non-Negotiated Follow-On Investments remain subject to the Boards periodic review in accordance with Condition 10.
C. Dispositions 13. Applicants propose that Dispositions 18 would be divided into two categories. If the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds holding investments in the issuer had previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer, then the terms and approval of the Disposition would be subject to the Standard Review Dispositions described in Condition 6. If the Regulated Funds and Affiliated Funds have not previously participated in a CoInvestment Transaction with respect to the issuer but hold a Pre-Boarding Investment, then the terms and approval of the Disposition would be subject to the Enhanced Review Dispositions described in Condition 7.

The Regulated Funds Board may refuse to approve, or at any time rescind, suspend or qualify, its approval of Pro Rata Follow-On Investments, in which case all subsequent Follow-On Investments will be submitted to the Regulated Funds Eligible Directors in accordance with Condition 8c.
17 A Non-Negotiated Follow-On Investment is a Follow-On Investment in which a Regulated Fund participates together with one or more Affiliated Funds and/or one or more other Regulated Funds i in which the only term negotiated by or on behalf of the funds is price and ii with respect to which, if the transaction were considered on its own, the funds would be entitled to rely on one of the JT NoAction Letters.
