. 157 BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES Since we will generally acquire and dispose of our investments in privately negotiated transactions, we will infrequently use brokers in the normal course of our business. Subject to policies established by the Board, if any, the Advisers will be primarily responsible for the execution of any publicly -tradedsecurities portfolio transactions and the allocation of brokerage commissions. The Advisers do not expect to execute transactions through any particular broker or dealer, but will seek to obtain the best net results for us, taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of order, difficulty of execution, and operational facilities of the firm and the firm’s risk and skill in positioning blocks of securities. While the Advisers generally will seek reasonably competitive trade execution costs, we will not necessarily pay the lowest spread or commission available. Subject to applicable legal requirements, the Advisers may select a broker based partly upon brokerage or research services provided to it and us and any other clients. In return for such services, we may pay a higher commission than other brokers would charge if the Advisers determine in good faith that such commission is reasonable in relation to the services provided. 158 LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the securities offered hereby and certain legal matters for us in connection with the offering will be passed upon for us by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, Washington, D.C. and New York, New York and by Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., Wilmington, Delaware.
