RESOLVED, that the officers of the Corporation be, and each of them hereby is, authorized to obtain said fidelity bond in substantially the form discussed at the meeting with the other named insured under said Bond providing that in the event that any recovery is received under the Bond as a result of a loss sustained by the Corporation and also by the other named insured, the Corporation shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but in no event less than the amount it would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act;
RESOLVED, that the proposed Joint Fidelity Bond Agreement among the Corporation, the Adviser and the Administrator is approved, with such further changes therein as the officers of the Corporation may determine to be necessary or desirable and proper, with the advice of Corporation counsel, the execution of said Joint Fidelity Bond Agreement by such officers to be conclusive evidence of such determination; and

RESOLVED, that the Corporations participation in the above-referenced joint liability insurance policy is in the best interest of the Corporation; and
RESOLVED, that the share of the premium to be allocated to the Corporation for the joint liability insurance policy, which is based upon the Corporations proportionate share of the sum of the premiums that would have been paid if such insurance coverage were purchased separately by the Corporation be, and the same hereby is, determined to be fair and reasonable to the Corporation.
