Pre-clearance may be denied following the consideration of a number of factors including, for example, whether the trade creates the appearance of trading with the possession of material non-public information. Pre-clearance will be evidenced by an email from the CCO or her designee. Following receipt of the pre-clearance email, such employees or Access Persons are to make the investment via Blackstone Securities Partners L.P. by completing the appropriate subscription documents.

When used in this Attachment 1, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

A. Terms Defining the Scope of a Beneficial Interest

“Beneficial Interest” means the opportunity, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, to profit, or share in any profit derived from, a transaction in the subject Securities.

An Independent Fund Trustee is deemed to have a Beneficial Interest in the following:

1. any Security owned individually by the Independent Fund Trustee;

2. any Security owned jointly by the Independent Fund Trustee with others (for example, joint accounts, spousal accounts, partnerships, trusts and controlling interests in corporations); and

3. any Security in which a member of the Independent Fund Trustee’s Immediate Family has a Beneficial Interest if:

(a) the Security is held in an account over which the Independent Fund Trustee has decision making authority (for example, the Independent Fund Trustee acts as trustee, executor, or guardian); or

(b) the Security is held in an account for which the Independent Fund Trustee acts as a broker or investment adviser representative.

An Independent Fund Trustee is presumed to have a Beneficial Interest in the following:

1. any Security in which a member of the Independent Fund Trustee’s Immediate Family has a Beneficial Interest if the Immediate Family member resides in the same household as the Independent Fund Trustee. This presumption may be rebutted if the Independent Fund Trustee provides the CCO with satisfactory assurances that the Independent Fund Trustee does not have an ownership interest, individual or joint, in the Security and exercises no influence or control over investment decisions made regarding the Security. The presumption will not be deemed rebutted unless and until the CCO approves the petition in writing.

2

Any uncertainty as to whether an Independent Fund Trustee has a Beneficial Interest in a Security should be brought to the attention of the CCO for resolution. An Independent Fund Trustee may appeal any such resolution to the full Board, the decision of which shall be final. Such questions will be resolved in accordance with, and this definition shall be interpreted in accordance with, the definition of “beneficial owner” found in Rules 16a-1(a) (2) and (5) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“Immediate Family” of an Independent Fund Trustee means any of the following persons:

child	grandparent	son-in-law
stepchild	spouse	daughter-in-law
grandchild	sibling	brother-in-law
parent	mother-in-law	sister-in-law
stepparent	father-in-law

Immediate Family includes adoptive relationships and other relationships (whether or not recognized by law) that the CCO determines could lead to the possible conflicts of interest, diversions of corporate opportunity, or appearances of impropriety which this Code is intended to prevent.

B. Terms Defining the Scope of a Reportable Securities Transaction

“Reportable Security” means any Security other than (1) direct obligations of the Government of the United States; (2) bankers acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements; and (3) shares issued by open-end funds (other than exchange-traded funds).

“Securities Transaction” means a purchase or sale of a Reportable Security in which an Independent Fund Trustee acquires or has a Beneficial Interest.

“Security” includes stock, notes, bonds, debentures, and other evidences of indebtedness (including loan participations and assignments), limited partnership interests, investment contracts, closed-end investment companies, and all derivative instruments of the foregoing, such as options and warrants. “Security” does not include futures or options on futures, but the purchase and sale of such instruments are nevertheless subject to the reporting requirements of the Code.

3

“Security Held or to be Acquired by the Fund” means (A) any Reportable Security which, within the most recent 15 days, (i) is or has been held by the applicable Fund, or (ii) is being or has been considered by the applicable Fund or the applicable Fund Adviser for purchase by the applicable Fund, or (B) any option to purchase or sell, and any Security convertible into or exchangeable for, a Reportable Security described above in clause (A) of this definition.
