Section&nbsp;57(i)&nbsp;of the 1940 Act provides that, until the Commission prescribes rules&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;57(a)(4)&nbsp;of the 1940 Act, the Commission&#146;s rules&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;17(d)&nbsp;of the 1940 Act applicable to registered closed-end investment companies will be deemed to apply.

In passing upon applications filed pursuant to Rule&nbsp;17d-1 under the 1940 Act, the Commission is directed by Rule&nbsp;17d-1(b)&nbsp;under the 1940 Act to consider whether the participation of a registered investment company or controlled company thereof in the joint enterprise or joint arrangement under scrutiny is consistent with provisions, policies and purposes of the 1940 Act and the extent to which such participation is on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of other participants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Commission has stated that Section&nbsp;17(d)&nbsp;of the 1940 Act, upon which Rule&nbsp;17d-1 under the 1940 Act is based, and upon which Section&nbsp;54(a)(4)&nbsp;of the 1940 Act was modeled, was designed to protect investment companies from self-dealing and overreaching by insiders. The Commission has also taken notice that there may be transactions subject to these prohibitions that do not present the dangers of overreaching. See <u>Protecting Investors: A Half-Century of Investment Company Regulation</u>, 1504 Fed. Sec. L. Rep., Extra Edition (May&nbsp;29, 1992) at 488 <i>et seq. </i>The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has enunciated a like rationale for the purpose behind Section&nbsp;17(d): &#147;The objective of [Section] 17(d)&nbsp;. . . is to prevent . . . injuring the interest of stockholders of registered investment companies by causing the company to participate on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of such other participants.&#148; <u>Securities and Exchange Commission v. Talley Industries,&nbsp;Inc.</u>, 399 F.2d 396, 405 (2d Cir. 1968), <u>cert. denied</u>, 393 U.S. 1015 (1969). Furthermore, Congress acknowledged that the protective system established by the enactment of Section&nbsp;57 is &#147;similar to that applicable to registered investment companies under section 17 of the 1940 Act, and rules&nbsp;thereunder, but is modified to address concerns relating to unique characteristics presented by business development companies.&#148; H.Rep.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Applicants believe that the terms and conditions of this Application would ensure that the conflicts of interest that Section&nbsp;17(d)&nbsp;and Section&nbsp;54(a)(4)&nbsp;of the 1940 Act were designed to prevent would be addressed and the standards for an order under Rule&nbsp;17d-1 under the 1940 Act are met.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Applicants believe that the proposed conditions, as discussed more fully in Section&nbsp;III.D. of this Application (the &#147;<u>Conditions</u>&#148;), will ensure the protection of shareholders of the Regulated Funds and compliance with the purposes and policies of the 1940 Act with respect to the Co-Investment Transactions.&nbsp;&nbsp;In particular, the Conditions, as outlined below, would ensure that each Regulated Fund would only invest in investments that are appropriate to the interests of shareholders and the investment needs and abilities of that Regulated Fund.&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, each Regulated Fund would be able to invest on equal footing with each other Regulated Fund and any Future Affiliated Funds, including identical terms, conditions, price, class of securities purchased, settlement date, and registration rights.&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Regulated Fund would have the ability to engage in Follow-On Investments in a fair manner consistent with the protections of the other conditions. Each Regulated Fund would have the ability to participate on a proportionate basis, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions in any sale of a security purchased in a Co-Investment Transaction. Fees and expenses of Co-Investment Transactions would be borne by the applicable Adviser, or shared pro-rata among the Regulated Funds and Future Affiliated Funds who participate in the Co-Investment Transactions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The conditions would also prevent a Regulated Fund from investing in any current investments of an affiliated person, which eliminates the possibility of a Regulated Fund from being forced to invest in a manner that would benefit an affiliated person&#146;s existing investment.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, sufficient records of the transactions would be maintained to permit the examination staff of the Commission to monitor compliance with the terms of the requested order.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Conditions impose a variety of duties on the Advisers with respect to Co-Investment Transactions and Potential Co-Investment Transactions by the Regulated Funds.&nbsp;&nbsp;These duties include determinations regarding investment appropriateness, the appropriate level of investment, and the provision of information to the Board of any Regulated Fund. In addition, when considering Potential Co-Investment Transactions for any Regulated Fund, the applicable Adviser will consider only the Objectives and Strategies, investment policies, investment positions, capital available for investment, and other pertinent factors applicable to that Regulated Fund.&#160; Each Adviser, as applicable, undertakes to perform these duties consistently for each Regulated Fund, as applicable, regardless of which of them serves as investment adviser or sub-adviser to these entities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In sum, the Applicants believe that the proposed conditions would ensure that each Regulated Fund that participates in a Co-Investment Transaction does not participate on a basis different from, or less advantageous than, that of such other participants.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result, the Applicants believe that the participation of the Regulated Funds in Co-Investment Transactions done in accordance with the Conditions would be consistent with the provisions, policies, and purposes of the 1940 Act, and would be done in a manner that was not different from, or less advantageous than, the other participants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">With respect to each Wholly-Owned Investment Sub, such a subsidiary would be prohibited from investing in a Co-Investment Transaction with any Future Affiliated Fund or Regulated Fund other than its parent because it would be a company controlled by its parent Regulated Fund for purposes of Section&nbsp;57(a)(4)&nbsp;of the 1940 Act and Rule&nbsp;17d-1 under the 1940 Act. Applicants request that each Wholly-Owned Investment Sub be permitted to participate in Co-Investment Transactions in lieu of its parent Regulated Fund&#160; and that the Wholly-Owned Investment Sub&#146;s participation in any such transaction be treated, for purposes of the 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&#146;s investments and, therefore, no conflicts of interest could arise between the Regulated Fund and the Wholly-Owned Investment Sub. The Regulated Fund&#146;s Board would make all relevant determinations under the conditions with regard to a Wholly-Owned Investment Sub&#146;s participation in a Co-Investment Transaction, and the Regulated Fund&#146;s Board would be informed of, and take into consideration, any proposed use of a Wholly-Owned Investment Sub in the Regulated Fund&#146;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.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Applicants submit that allowing the Co-Investment Transactions described by this Application is justified on the basis of (i)&nbsp;the potential benefits to the Regulated Funds and the shareholders thereof and (ii)&nbsp;the protections found in the terms and conditions set forth in this Application.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the absence of the relief sought hereby, in some circumstances the Regulated Funds would be limited in their ability to participate in attractive and appropriate investment opportunities. Section&nbsp;17(d)&nbsp;and Section&nbsp;54(a)(4)&nbsp;of the 1940 Act and Rule&nbsp;17d-1 under the 1940 Act should not prevent BDCs and registered closed-end investment companies from making investments that are in the best interests of their shareholders.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In cases where the Advisers identify investment opportunities requiring larger capital commitments, they must seek the participation of other entities with similar investment styles.&#160; The ability to participate in Co-Investment Transactions that involve committing larger amounts of financing would enable each Regulated Fund to participate with one or more of the Future Affiliated Funds and the other Regulated Funds in larger financing commitments, which would, in turn, be expected to obtain discounted prices and increase income, expand investment opportunities and provide better access to due diligence information for the Regulated Funds.&#160; Indeed, each Regulated Fund&#146;s inability to co-invest with one or more of the Future Affiliated Funds and the other Regulated Funds could potentially result in the loss of beneficial investment opportunities for such Regulated Fund and, in turn, adversely affect such Regulated Fund&#146;s shareholders. For example, a Regulated Fund may lose investment opportunities if the Adviser cannot provide &#147;one-stop&#148; financing to a potential portfolio company. Portfolio companies may reject an offer of funding arranged by an Adviser due to a Regulated Fund&#146;s inability to commit the full amount of financing required by the portfolio company in a timely manner (i.e., without the delay that typically would be associated with obtaining single-transaction exemptive relief from the Commission).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Each Regulated Fund and its shareholders will benefit from the ability to participate in Co-Investment Transactions. Before participating in Co-Investment Transactions, 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 Co-Investment Transactions because, among other matters, (i)&nbsp;the Regulated Fund will be able to participate in a larger number and greater variety of transactions; (ii)&nbsp;the Regulated Fund will be able to participate in larger transactions; (iii)&nbsp;the Regulated Fund will be able to participate in all opportunities approved by a Required Majority or otherwise permissible under the Order rather than risk underperformance through rotational allocation of opportunities among the Regulated Funds; (iv)&nbsp;the Regulated Fund and any other Regulated Funds participating in the proposed investment will have greater bargaining power, more control over the investment and less need to bring in other external investors or structure investments to satisfy the different needs of external investors; (v)&nbsp;the Regulated Fund will be able to obtain greater attention and better deal flow from investment bankers and others who act as sources of investments; and (vi)&nbsp;the general terms and conditions of the proposed Order are fair to the Regulated Funds and their shareholders. The Board of each of PSEC, PWAY and PRIS, including the Non-Interested Directors, also determined that it is in the best interests of the PSEC, PWAY and PRIS, respectively, and the shareholders of each to obtain the Order at the earliest possible time and instructed the officers of PSEC, PWAY and PRIS, the Advisers and counsel to use all appropriate efforts to accomplish such goal. For these reasons, the Board of each of PSEC, PWAY and PRIS has determined that is proper and desirable for each of PSEC, PWAY and PRIS, respectively, to participate in Co-Investment Transactions with the other Regulated Funds and/or one more Future Affiliated Funds.</font></p>

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)&nbsp;the proposed participation of each Regulated Fund and Future 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)&nbsp;the Board of the Regulated Fund has approved that Regulated Fund&#146;s participation in pro rata dispositions and Follow-On Investments as being in the best interests of the Regulated Fund.&#160; If the Board does not so approve, any such disposition or Follow-On Investment will be submitted to the Regulated Fund&#146;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.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Applicants believe that participation by the Regulated Funds in pro rata dispositions and Follow-On Investments, as provided in conditions 7 and 8, is consistent with the provisions, policies and purposes of the 1940 Act and will not be made on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of other participants. A formulaic approach, such as pro rata dispositions and Follow-On Investments, eliminates the discretionary ability to make allocation determinations, and in turn eliminates the possibility for overreaching and promotes fairness.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Applicants note that the Commission has adopted a similar pro rata approach in the context of Rule&nbsp;23c-2 under the 1940 Act, which relates to the redemption by a closed-end investment company of less than all of a class of its securities, indicating the general fairness and lack of overreaching that such approach provides.</font></p>
