RESOLVED, that, with respect to each Fund, it is the determination of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, that the fidelity bond written by Federal Insurance Company in the amount of $8,750,000, insuring each Fund for covered acts or omissions of their respective officers and employees, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 17g-1 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act (the “Bond”), is reasonable in form and amount after having given due consideration to all relevant factors including, but not limited to, the value of the aggregate assets of each Fund to which any such 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 the securities in a Fund’s portfolio or portfolios; and further

RESOLVED, that the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, hereby approves the payment by each Fund of the portion of the premium for coverage under the Bond, which is determined based upon the premium that would have been paid by each Fund if each had provided and maintained a single insured bond, having given due consideration to all relevant factors including, but not limited to, the number of Funds, the nature of the business activities of the Funds, the amount of the Bond, the amount of the premium for the Bond, the ratable allocation of the premium among the Funds and the other parties named as insured parties under the Bond, and the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to a Fund is less than the premium the Fund would have had to pay if each had provided and maintained a single insured bond; and further

increased in order to satisfy the minimum bonding requirements of Rule 17g-1, each of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary be, and hereby is, authorized to take such actions as may be necessary to increase the amount of the Bond coverage to comply with such requirements and to allocate the additional premium payable on the Bond among the Funds based upon the premium that would have been paid by a Fund if each had provided and maintained a single insured bond, determined as of the end of the last business day of the month preceding the effective date of the change in coverage; and further

RESOLVED, that the actions taken by an appropriate officer or officers of the Funds, on behalf of the relevant Portfolio(s), in respect of the matters referred to in the preceding resolutions be, and hereby are, ratified, adopted and confirmed in all respects.
