on February 24, 2016

Approval of the Fidelity Bond

WHEREAS, Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and Rule 17g-1(a) thereunder require a BDC, such as the Company, to provide and maintain a bond which 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, unless the officer or employee has such access solely through his position as an officer or employee of a bank (each, a “covered person”); and

WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1 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 requires that a majority of the Board of Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act 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 which are described in the accompanying memorandum attached hereto; 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 of Directors in connection with the bond, and designate an Officer who shall make such filings and give such notices; and

WHEREAS, the Company is presently a party to a single insured bond (the “Current Fidelity Bond”); and

WHEREAS, the Company intends to enter into a new bond upon expiration of the Current Fidelity Bond (the “New Fidelity Bond”);

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 of the Current Fidelity Bond, covering the Officers and employees of the Company and insuring the Company against loss from fraudulent or dishonest acts, including larceny and embezzlement, issued by Marsh, having an aggregate coverage of $10,000,000 (the “Fidelity Bond”), is reasonable, and the Current Fidelity Bond be, and hereby is, approved, ratified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company, including a majority of the Directors that are not “interested persons” of the Company under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”); and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the negotiation, execution and delivery of the New Fidelity Bond by any Officer of the Company, on substantially the same terms and with the same coverage as the Current Fidelity Bond and with annual premiums of up to 110% of the Current Fidelity Bond, be and hereby is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, including a majority of the Independent Directors; and


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

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chief Compliance Officer of the Company be, and hereby is, designated as the party responsible for making the necessary filings and giving the notices with respect to such bond required by paragraph (g) of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.

NOTICE OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

AGAINST INSURED—ELECTION TO DEFEND

F. The Insured shall notify the Underwriter at the earliest practicable moment, not to exceed 30 days after notice thereof, of any legal proceeding brought to determine the Insured’s liability for any loss, claim or damage, which, if established, would constitute a collectible loss under this bond. Concurrently, the Insured shall furnish copies of all pleadings and pertinent papers to the Underwriter.

The Underwriter, at its sole option, may elect to conduct the defense of such legal proceeding, in whole or in part. The defense by the Underwriter shall be in the Insured’s name through attorneys selected by the Underwriter.

If the Insured does not give the notices required in subsection (a) of Section 5 of this bond and in the first paragraph of this General Agreement, or if the Underwriter elects not to defend any causes of action, neither a judgment against the Insured, nor a settlement of any legal proceeding by the Insured, shall determine the existence, extent or amount of coverage under this bond for loss sustained by the Insured, and the Underwriter shall not be liable for any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Insured.

With respect to this General Agreement, subsections (b) and (d) of Section 5 of this bond apply upon the entry of such judgment or the occurrence of such settlement instead of upon discovery of loss.
