STANDARDS OFCONDUCT

General Standards.



1) No Access Person shall, in breach of any fiduciary duty he or she owes to the Company and its stockholders:


a) engage, directly or indirectly, in any business investment in a manner detrimental to the Company; or


b) use confidential information gained by reason of his or her employment by or affiliation with the Company in a manner detrimental to the Company.


2) At the time that an Access Person recommends or authorizes the purchase or sale of a Covered Security by the Company, he or she shall disclose to the Designated Officer:




---

a) any Beneficial Ownership in such Covered Security that he or she has or proposes to acquire;


b) any interest he or she has or proposes to acquire in any Third Party Account in which such Covered Security is held; and


c) any interest in or relationship with the issuer of such Covered Security that he or she has or proposes to acquire.


4) Each Access Person must conduct his or her personal securities transactions in a manner that is consistent with this Code of Ethics and that will avoid an abuse of his or her position of trust and responsibility within the Company.


5) No Access Person shall engage in any act, practice, or course of business that is in breach of the fiduciary duty of care, loyalty, honesty and good faith that he or she owes to the Company.


6) No Access Person shall, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, of any Security Held or to be Acquired by the Company, engage in any act, practice or course of business in violation of the Federal Securities Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, note that “Insider Trading”, which is the misuse of material non-public information concerning an issuer, relates not only to the Company but to any company. Reference is made to the Company Insider Trading Policy – Trading of Company Shares for a general discussion of the issue. To that end, No Access Person shall (a) disclose material non-public information received or developed by the Company concerning any issuer to any other person; disclose material non-public information otherwise received to any person; and effect any transaction in any security or commodity on the basis of material non-public information, regardless of whether such information was received or developed by the Company in connection with its business or otherwise.




Prohibited Transactions.



1) General Prohibition . Unless an Access Person shall have obtained prior approval from the Designated Officer, no Access Person shall purchase or sell (or otherwise acquire or dispose of) direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership of any Covered Security if, at the time of such transaction, such Access Person knows or should have known such Covered Security is a Security Held or to be Acquired by the Company.




If an Access Person becomes aware that the Company is considering the purchase or sale of a Covered Security, the Access Person must promptly notify the Designated Officer of:



a) any interest that he or she has in any outstanding Covered Security of the same issuer; and


b) any other interest in or relationship with the issuer that he or she has or proposes to acquire.


2) Insider Trading . No Access Person may buy or sell securities (including but not limited to the Company’s stock) while in possession of material non-public information (“inside information”). In addition, no Access Person may disclose material non-public




---

information to outsiders, including family members and others (tipping), who then trade in the securities or the securities the Company or of another company on the basis of that information.

Rule 10b5-1 under the 1934 Act may permit pre-planned trading in securities about which an individual or entity possesses inside information. By documenting a 10b5-1 plan prior to the receipt of inside information, the Company or its Access Persons may be able to show that trades were not made based on the inside information. A 10b5-1 plan must be established in good faith prior to the receipt of inside information, must define specific trading parameters that will be followed consistently, and must be implemented by a third party. Neither the Company nor any Access Person may establish or trade on a 10b5-1 plan without written pre-approval from the CCO.



3) Gifts . No Access Person may accept any gift, favor, or service from any person with whom he or she transacts business on behalf of the Company, if to do so would conflict with the Company's best interests or would impair the ability of such person to be completely disinterested when required, in the course of business, to make judgments and/or recommendations on behalf of the Company. See the BC Partners Gift and Entertainment Policy.


4) Initial Public Offerings and Limited Offerings . Investment Personnel must obtain approval from the Designated Officer before directly or indirectly acquiring Beneficial Ownership in any Securities in an Initial Public Offering or Limited Offering. If the Designated Officer is the person whose acquisition requires such approval, he or she may obtain such approval from the President of the Company.
