GENERAL AGREEMENTS

A. ADDITIONAL OFFICES OR EMPLOYEES-CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER-NOTICE

1. If the Insured shall, while this bond is in force, establish any additional office or offices, such office or offices shall be automatically covered hereunder from the dates of their establishment, respectively. No notice to the Underwriter of an increase during any premium period in the number of offices or in the number of Employees at any of the offices covered hereunder need be given and no additional premium need be paid for the remainder of such premium period.

2. If an Investment Company, named as Insured herein, shall, while this bond is in force, merge or consolidate with, or purchase the assets of another institution, coverage for such acquisition shall apply automatically from the date of acquisition. The Insured shall notify the Underwriter of such acquisition within 60 days of said date, and an additional premium shall be computed only if such acquisition involves additional offices or employees.

B. WARRANTY

No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the application or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a warranty of anything except that it is true to the best of the knowledge and belief of the person making the statement.

C. COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES

(Applicable to all Insuring Agreements or Coverages now or hereafter forming part of this bond)

The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense, whether or not successful, whether or not fully litigated on the merits and whether or not settled of any suit or legal proceeding brought against the Insured to enforce the Insured’s liability or alleged liability on account of any loss, claim or dam age which, if established against the Insured, would constitute a loss sustained by the Insured covered under the terms of this bond provided, however, that with respect to Insuring Agreement (A) this indemnity shall apply only in the event that

(1) an Employee admits to being guilty of any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement; or

(2) an Employee is adjudicated to be guilty of any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement;

(3) in the absence of (1) or (2) above an arbitration panel agrees, after a review of an agreed statement of facts, that an Employee would be found guilty of dishonesty if such Employee were prosecuted.

The Insured shall promptly give notice to the Underwriter of any such suit or legal proceeding and at the request of the Underwriter shall furnish it with copies of all pleadings and other papers therein. At the Underwriter’s election the Insured shall perm it the Underwriter to conduct the defense of such suit or legal proceeding, in the Insured’s name, through attorneys of the Underwriter’s selection. In such event, the Insured shall give all reasonable information and assistance which the Underwriter shall deem necessary to the proper defense of such suit or legal proceeding.

If the amount of the Insured’s liability or alleged liability is greater than the amount recoverable under this bond, or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, the liability of the Underwriter under this General Agreement is limited to the proportion of court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred and paid by the Insured or by the Underwriter that the amount recoverable under this bond bears to the total of such amount plus the amount which is not so recoverable. Such indemnity shall be in addition to the Limit of Liability for the applicable Insuring Agreement or Coverage.

D. FORMER EMPLOYEE

Acts of an Employee, as defined in this bond, are covered under Insuring Agreement (A) only while the Employee is in the Insured’s employ. Should loss involving a former Employee of the Insured be discovered subsequent to the termination of employment, coverage would still apply under Insuring Agreement (A) if the direct proximate cause of the loss occurred while the former Employee performed duties within the scope of his/her employment.

loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured unless the Insured, in its sole discretion and at its option, shall include such loss in the Insured’s proof of loss.

Legal proceedings for recovery of any loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to the expiration of sixty days after such proof of loss is filed with the Underwriter nor after the expiration of twenty-four months from the discovery of such loss, except that any action or proceeding to recover hereunder on account of any judgment against the Insured in any suit mentioned in General Agreement C or to recover attorneys’ fees paid in any such suit, shall be begun within twenty-four months from the date upon which the judgment in such suit shall become final.

Discovery occurs when the Insured

In case of any loss or dam age 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.

(b) any one unintentional or negligent act on the part of any one person resulting in dam age to or destruction or misplacement of Property, shall be deemed to be one loss, or

(e) any one casualty or event other than those specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d) preceding, shall be deemed to be one loss, and

shall be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond irrespective of the total amount of such loss or losses and shall not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or

NEW YORK AMENDATORY ENDORSEMENT - NY STATUTE 3420

Wherever used in this endorsement: 1) “we”, “us”, “our” and “Insurer” mean the insurance company which issued this policy; 2) “you”, “your”, “Insured” and “first Named Insured” mean the Named Corporation, Named Entity, Named Organization, Named Sponsor, Named Insured, or Insured stated in the declarations page; 3) “other insured(s)” means all other persons or entities afforded coverage under the policy; 4) “Discovery Period” means Discovery Period or Extended Reporting Period, as defined in the policy; and 5) “Claim” means Claim or Suit as defined in the policy.

It is hereby understood and agreed that the policy is amended as follows: A.

The following provisions are hereby added to the policy:

FAILURE TO GIVE NOTICE WITHIN PRESCRIBED TIME:

Failure to give any notice required to be given by this policy, or any policy of which this is a renewal, within the prescribed time shall not invalidate any Claim made against an Insured if: (a) it shall be shown not to have been reasonably possible to give notice within the prescribed time and that notice was given as soon as was reasonably possible thereafter; or (b) the failure to provide timely notice has not prejudiced the Insurer.

Any such Claim shall be deemed to have been first made against the Insured and noticed to the Insurer within the Policy Period or Discovery Period of the policy issued by the Insurer (the “Noticed Policy”) in which the Insurer received notice of the Claim; provided that the coverage afforded with respect to the Noticed Policy shall be in an amount not greater than the amount of coverage afforded with respect to the Policy Period of the policy issued by the Insurer (the “Former Policy”) in which the Claim was actually first made against the Insured. The foregoing sentence may result in (but not be limited to): (1) reducing the limit of liability available for such a Claim to the available limit of liability applicable to the Former Policy; (2) increasing the applicable retention amount to that retention amount applicable to the Former Policy; or (3) reducing or eliminating coverage due to exclusions or other restrictions appearing in the Former Policy but eliminated, in part or in whole, in the Noticed Policy. No coverage shall be afforded under this endorsement if there was not in existence a Former Policy at the time the Claim was actually first made against the Insured. With respect to subsection (b) above, any such Claim must be noticed during the Policy Period or Discovery Period of a Noticed Policy which is a renewal or extension of the Former Policy.

Nothing in this endorsement shall be construed to provide coverage for a Claim under more than one Policy Period or Discovery Period.

ENDORSEMENT# 2 (continued)

In the event that the Insurer alleges that it was prejudiced as a result of a failure to give notice within the time required under the policy, the burden of proof shall be on:

(a) the Insurer to prove that it has been prejudiced, if the notice was provided within two years of the time required under the policy; or

(b) the Insured to prove that the Insurer has not been prejudiced, if the notice was provided more than two years after the time required under the policy.

The Insurer’s rights shall not be deemed prejudiced unless the failure to timely provide notice materially impairs the ability of the Insurer to investigate or defend the Claim.

Notwithstanding the above, an irrebuttable presumption of prejudice shall apply if, prior to the notice, the Insured’s liability has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a binding arbitration; or if the Insured has resolved the Claim by settlement or other compromise.

NOTICE TO AGENT:

Notice given by or on behalf of the Insured, or written notice by or on behalf of the injured party or any other claimant, to any licensed agent of the Insurer in the state of New York, with particulars sufficient to identify the Insured, shall be deemed notice to the Insurer.

WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1 requires that a majority of directors who are not “interested persons” of the BDC, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Non-Interested Directors”), 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 Rule 17g-1, 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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 Board of Directors, including all of the Non-Interested Directors, have considered the expected aggregate value of the securities and funds of the Company to which the Company’s officers and employees 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, the requirements of Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17g-1 thereunder, and all other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors, including the Non-Interested Directors;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that having considered the expected aggregate value of the securities and funds of the Company to which the Company’s officers and employees 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, the requirements of Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17g-1 thereunder, and all other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors, including the Non-Interested Directors, the Board of Directors, including all of the Non-Interested Directors, determine 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 by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the amount of $3,000,000 (the “Joint Fidelity Bond”) be, and hereby are approved; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors, including all of the Non-Interested Directors, have determined the portion of the premium to be paid by the Company be, and it hereby is, approved, taking all relevant factors into consideration including, but not limited to, the number of the other insured parties named as insureds, the nature of business activities of the other insured parties, the amount of the Joint Fidelity Bond and the amount of the premium for such Joint Fidelity Bond, the ratable allocation of the premium among the insureds, and the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to the Company is less than the premium the Company would have had to pay had such joint insured bond not been obtained; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Authorized Officers of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed to cause the Company to pay its ratable allocation of the annual premium payable with respect to the Joint Fidelity Bond and to enter into and execute, on behalf of the Company, an agreement reflecting the provisions of the Joint Fidelity Bond and relating to the division of proceeds in the event of a joint fidelity loss, as required by Rule 17g-1(f) (the “Joint Insured Bond Allocation Agreement”); and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the terms and conditions of the Joint Insured Bond Allocation Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in all respects, with such amendments thereto as an Authorized Officer may approve, and with approval of such further amendments evidenced by their inclusion in the Joint Insured Bond Allocation Agreement; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Authorized Officers be, and each of them hereby is, authorized to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in consultation with counsel to the Company, and to give notices as may be required, from time to time, pursuant to Rule 17g-1(g) and Rule 17g-1(h) under the 1940 Act; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Company’s Authorized Officers be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed to amend the Joint Fidelity Bond, in consultation with counsel to the Company, and to execute such other documents as he or she may deem necessary or appropriate to effect the intent of this resolution; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that each of the Authorized Officers is hereby authorized in the name and on behalf of the Company, to make or cause to be made, and to execute and deliver, all such additional agreements, documents, instruments and certifications and to take all such steps, and to make all such payments, fees and remittances, as any one or more of such officers may at any time or times deem necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the purpose and intent of the foregoing resolutions; and


FURTHER RESOLVED, that any and all actions previously taken by the Company or any of its directors, officers or other employees in connection with the documents, and actions contemplated by the foregoing resolutions be, and they hereby are, ratified, confirmed, approved and adopted in all respects as and for the acts and deeds of the Company; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that for the purposes of the foregoing resolutions, the Authorized Officers of the Company shall be the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Secretary (the “Authorized Officers”).


EXHIBIT C

AGREEMENT REGARDING THE ALLOCATION OF

FIDELITY BOND RECOVERIES

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of February 25, 2014, by and among Solar Capital Ltd. and Solar Senior Capital Ltd. (each, an “Insured,” and, together, the “Insureds”), each acting on behalf of itself.

WHEREAS, each Insured is a closed-end management investment company which has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); and

WHEREAS, each of the Insureds is named as an insured party under a joint fidelity bond (the “Bond”); and

WHEREAS, the Insureds desire to confirm the criteria by which recoveries under the Bond shall be allocated between the Insureds;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

 

1. In the event that recovery is received under the Bond as a result of a loss sustained by more than one Insured, the following rules shall apply for determining the priorities for satisfaction of such claims under the Bond:

 

  a. First, each Insured shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but at least equal to the amount it would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required under Rule 17g-1(d)(1) under the 1940 Act; and

 

  b. Second, the remaining amount of recovery, if any, shall then be applied to each claim of each Insured in proportion to the amount of the unreimbursed loss in excess of such minimums incurred by each Insured.

 

2. The obligations of an Insured under this Agreement are not binding upon any of the board members of an Insured or Insured shareholders individually, but are binding only with respect to the assets of that Insured.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the insured parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.

EXHIBIT D

I have examined the Fidelity Bond limit requirements, as prescribed in Rule 17g-1 for the parties insured under National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Bond No. 02-381-45-24. This limits analysis is based upon the total asset value of each registrant as stated in the relevant renewal application.

The results of the analysis are as follows:

 

Registrant

   Asset value      Required
Limit
 

Solar Senior Capital Ltd.

   $ 272,561,000       $ 750,000   
     

 

 

 

Solar Capital Ltd.

   $ 1,708,442,000       $ 1,500,000   
     

 

 

 
     Total Limit:       $ 2,250,000   

As you are aware, the limit under the current bond is $3,000,000. Therefore, according to these calculations, the bond amount is sufficient to meet requirements of Rule 17g-1.

 

Sincerely,
