SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following is a summary of the 

application. The complete application 

may be obtained via the Commission’s

Company name box, at http:// 

www.sec.gov/search/search.htm or by 

calling (202) 551–8090. 

Applicant’s Representations 

1. The Company is an internally 

managed, non-diversified, closed-end 

investment company that has elected to 

be regulated as a business development 

company (‘‘BDC’’) under the Act. The 

Company is currently permitted to (i) 

issue shares of Restricted Stock to 

certain of its Employees and Nonemployee Directors, and (ii) issue 

options to purchase shares of the 

Company’s common stock to certain of 

its Employees and Non-employee 

Directors, under the terms of the Plans 

in reliance on the Prior Orders. 

Applicant seeks to amend the Prior 

Orders in order to permit the Company, 

pursuant to the Amended Plans, to 

withhold shares of the Company’s 

common stock or purchase shares of the 

Company’s common stock from its 

Employees and Non-employee Directors 

to satisfy tax withholding obligations 

related to the vesting of Restricted Stock 

that were or will be granted pursuant to 

the Plans or the Amended Plans.2 In 

addition, the Company seeks to amend 

the Prior Orders to permit Participants 

to pay the exercise price of options to 

purchase shares of the Company’s 

common stock that were or will be 

granted to them pursuant to the Plans or 

the Amended Plans with shares of the 

Company’s common stock already held 

by them or pursuant to a net share 

settlement feature.3 The Company will 

continue to comply with all of the terms 

and conditions of the Prior Orders. 

2. The Plans and the Amended Plans 

authorize the issuance to Participants of 

shares of Restricted Stock, subject to 

certain forfeiture restrictions, and 

options that may be subject to forfeiture 

conditions to purchase shares of the 

Company’s common stock. On the date 

that any Restricted Stock vests, such 

vested shares of the Restricted Stock are 

released to the Participant and are 

available for sale or transfer.4 For 

Participants who are Employees, the 

value of the vested shares is deemed to 

be wage compensation for the 

Employee. As discussed more fully in 

the application, upon the exercise of 

certain options the amount by which the 

current market value of the shares of the 

Company’s common stock, determined 

as of the date of exercise, exceeds the 

exercise price will be treated as ordinary 

income to the recipient of the option in 

the year of exercise. Applicant states 

that any compensation income 

recognized by an employee generally is 

subject to Federal withholding for 

income and employment tax purposes. 

The Amended Plans provide that each 

grant or exercise of an Award is subject 

to the Participant making arrangements 

to satisfy all applicable Federal, State, 

and local or other income and 

employment tax withholding 

obligations. 

3. The Amended Plans will be subject 

to approval by the Company’s board of 

directors (‘‘Board’’) as well as the 

required majority of the Company’s 

directors with the meaning of section 

57(o) of the Act. The Amended Plans 

explicitly permit the Company to
