WHEREAS, Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and Rule 17g-1(a) thereunder, requires a business development company (a “BDC”) to provide and maintain a bond that shall be issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company, authorized to do business in the place where the bond is issued, to protect the Company against larceny and embezzlement, covering each officer and employee of the BDC who may singly, or jointly with others, have access to the securities or funds of the BDC, either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds of, or to direct generally, the disposition of such securities (each, a “Covered Person”); and
WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act specifies that the bond may be in the form of (i) an individual bond for each Covered Person, or a schedule or blanket bond covering such persons, (ii) a blanket bond which names the Company as the only insured (a “single insured bond”) or (iii) a bond which names the Company and one or more other parties as insureds (a “joint insured bond”), as permitted by Rule 17g-1; and
WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1(d) requires that a majority of directors who are not “interested persons” of the BDC approve periodically (but not less than once every 12 months) the reasonableness of the form and amount of the bond, with due consideration to the value of the aggregate assets of the Company to which any Covered Person may have access, the type and terms of the arrangements made for the custody and safekeeping of such assets, and the nature of securities and other investments to be held by the Company, and pursuant to factors contained in the Rule; and
WHEREAS, under Rule 17g-1, the Company is required to make certain filings with the SEC and give certain notices to each member of the Board in connection with the bond, and designate an officer who shall make such filings and give such notices.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that having considered the expected aggregate value of the securities and funds of the Company to which officers or employees of the Company may have access (either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such securities), the type and terms of the arrangements made for the custody of such securities and funds, the nature of securities and other investments to be held by the Company, the accounting procedures and controls of the Company, the nature and method of conducting the operations of the Company, and
the requirements of Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17g-1 thereunder, it is determined that the amount, type, form, premium and coverage, covering the officers and employees of the Company and insuring the Company against loss from fraudulent or dishonest acts, including larceny and embezzlement, issued in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “Fidelity Bond”) are hereby approved; and it is further
RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company be, and they hereby are, authorized to take all appropriate actions, with the advice of legal counsel to the Company, to provide and maintain the Fidelity Bond on behalf of the Company; and it is further
RESOLVED, that the Chief Compliance Officer of the Company be, and hereby is, designated as the officer of the Company who shall make the filings with the SEC and give the notices to each member of the Board, as required by Rule 17g-1(g) under the 1940 Act; and it is further
RESOLVED, that the Chief Compliance Officer of the Company is hereby authorized and directed, to make the filings and give the notices referenced in the preceding resolution, including the filing with the SEC, within 10 days after the Company receives the executed Fidelity Bond, or any amendment thereto, of the documents specified in Rule 17g-1(g)(1); and it is further
RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed to take all other actions as they may deem necessary, advisable or appropriate to effectuate or carry out the purposes and intent of the foregoing resolutions; and it is further
RESOLVED, that any and all actions taken prior to the adoption of these resolutions by any officer of the Company in connection with the Fidelity Bond and the matters contemplated thereby or by the foregoing resolutions, are hereby ratified and confirmed as authorized actions of the Company.

If no market price is quoted for such Property or for such privileges, the value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties.
The value of any loss of Property consisting of books of account or other records used by the INSURED in the conduct of its business shall be the amount paid by the INSURED for blank books, blank pages, or other materials which replace the lost books of account or other records, plus the cost of labor paid by the INSURED for the actual transcription or copying of data to reproduce such books of account or other records.
8. VALUATION OF PREMISES AND FURNISHINGS
In the case of loss or damage to any office of the INSURED or to the furnishings, fixtures, stationery, supplies, equipment, safes or vaults, the UNDERWRITER shall not be liable for more than the actual cash value thereof, or for more than the actual cost of replacement or repair. The UNDERWRITER may, at its election, pay such actual cash value or make such replacement or repair. If the UNDERWRITER and the INSURED cannot agree upon the actual cash value or the cost of replacement or repair, it shall be determined by arbitration.
9. SECURITIES SETTLEMENT
In the event of a loss of securities covered under this bond, the UNDERWRITER may, at its sole discretion, purchase replacement securities, tender the value of the securities in money, or issue its indemnity to effect replacement securities.
The indemnity required from the INSURED under the terms of this Section against all loss, cost or expense arising from the replacement of securities by the UNDERWRITER'S indemnity shall be:
a. for securities having a value less than or equal to the applicable DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT one hundred (100% percent);
G-131697-A (ED. 06/98) Copyright © CNA All Rights Reserved. 7
b. for securities having a value in excess of the DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT but within the applicable LIMIT OF LIABILITY- the percentage that the DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT bears to the value of the securities;
c. for securities having a value greater than the applicable LIMIT OF LIABILITY the percentage that the DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT and portion in excess of the applicable LIMIT OF LIABILITY bears to the value of the securities.
The value referred to in a., b., and c. above is the value in accordance with SECTION 7., VALUATION OF PROPERTY, regardless of the value of such securities at the time the loss under the UNDERWRITER'S indemnity is sustained.

Loss resulting directly from the INSURED having, in good faith, transferred or delivered Funds, certificated securities or uncertificated securities through a Computer System covered under the terms of the Computer Systems Coverage in reliance upon a fraudulent instruction received through a Telefacsimile Device, and which instruction
(1) purports and reasonably appears to have originated from
(a) a Customer of the INSURED,
(b) another financial institution, or
(c) another office of the INSURED
but, in fact, was not originated by the Customer or entity whose identification it bears and
(2) contains a valid test code which proves to have been used by a person who was not authorized to make use of it and,

Proof of loss for claim under the Telefacsimile Transfer Fraud Insuring Clause must include a copy of the document reproduced by the Telefacsimile Device.
