incurred even though the exact amount or details of loss may not be then

known.

SECTION 5. VALUATION OF PROPERTY

If no market price is quoted for such Property or for such privileges, the value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by arbitration.

In case of any loss or damage to Property consisting of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business, the Underwriter shall be liable under this bond only if such books or records are actually reproduced and then for not more than the cost of blank books, blank pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual transcription or copying of data which shall have been furnished by the Insured in order to reproduce such books and other records.

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 such cash value or such cost of replacement or repair, such shall be determined by arbitration.

SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES

If the Insured shall sustain a loss of securities the total value of which is in excess of the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond, the liability of the Underwriter shall be limited to payment for, or duplication of, securities having value equal to the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond.

If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of securities, the Insured shall thereupon assign to the Underwriter all of the Insured 's rights, title and interests in and to said securities.

With respect to securities the value of which do not exceed the Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may at its sole discretion and option and at the request of the Insured issue a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured will pay the usual premium charged therefor and will indemnify the Underwriter against all loss or expense that the Underwriter may sustain because of the issuance of such Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds.

AGREEMENT REGARDING

BNY MELLON FUNDS JOINT INSURED BOND

AGREEMENT among BNY Mellon Large Cap Securities Fund, Inc. (formerly, The Dreyfus Fund Incorporated) and certain other investment companies as to which BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (formerly, The Dreyfus Corporation) or any affiliate (“BNYM Investment Adviser”) now acts as Investment Adviser, Sub-Investment Adviser and/or Administrator (individually, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) and which are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Funds are covered as joint insureds under a Fidelity Bond or Bonds (the “Bond”) which complies with Rule 17g-1 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act (“Rule 17g-1”); and

WHEREAS, the Funds have entered into this Agreement to meet the requirements of paragraph (f) of Rule 17g-1;

NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY AGREED:

1.       In the event that recovery is received under the Bond as a result of a loss sustained by two or more of the Funds, each Fund shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of said recovery, but said recovery shall at least equal the amount that each such Fund would have received had the Fund provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1.

2.       The Funds acknowledge and agree that, upon approval by the Funds’ respective Boards of Directors/Trustees, the amount of the Bond or the carriers issuing the Bond

1

may be changed from time to time, and that any such change shall not affect the rights and obligations of the Funds under this Agreement.

3.       Each Fund shall be responsible for paying its pro-rata share, based on the ratio of its assets to the assets of all of the Funds, of the premium payable in respect of the Bond. The Funds acknowledge and agree that any new Fund added to the Bond or as a party to this Agreement will not be responsible for the foregoing amount incurred prior to the first Bond renewal following the addition of such Fund.

4.       The Funds agree that any registered investment company for which BNYM Investment Adviser in the future becomes the Investment Adviser, Sub-Investment Adviser and/or Administrator added as a joint insured under the Bond may become a party to this Agreement upon the execution of a copy of this Agreement by its duly authorized officer and shall thereafter be deemed a “Fund” hereunder.

5.       This Agreement shall cease to apply to any Fund in respect of any loss that occurs after such Fund (i) ceases to be an investment company by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Act, or (ii) ceases to be advised, sub-advised and/or administered by BNYM Investment Adviser, and such Fund shall, at and after such time, cease to be a party to this Agreement for all purposes.

6.       This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor company of any of the undersigned, or any company into which any of the undersigned may be merged or with which it may be consolidated.

7.       As to each Fund that is organized as a trust, this Agreement has been executed on behalf of the Fund by the undersigned officer of the Fund in her capacity as an officer of the Fund; the obligations of this Agreement shall only be binding upon the assets and property of the Fund and shall not be binding upon any Board member, officer or shareholder of the Fund individually.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Funds listed on Schedule A have caused this

Agreement to be executed by their respective officers, thereunto duly authorized as of the day and

year written below.
