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)
PREJUDICE:
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 Insurers 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 Insureds 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.
INSOLVENCY/ BANKRUPTCY OF INSURED:
The insolvency or bankruptcy of the Insured shall not relieve the Insurer of its obligations under this policy as long as all policy requirements are met by Insured, its trustee or receiver in bankruptcy. Should a covered judgment be rendered against an insolvent or bankrupt Insured, the Insurer shall be liable for the amount of such judgment not to exceed the applicable limit of liability under this policy.
B. | The Clause entitled, Action Against Us or Action Against Company is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
No one may bring an action against us unless there has been full compliance with all the terms of this policy and the amount of the Insureds obligation to pay has been finally determined either by:
1. | judgment against the Insured which remains unsatisfied at the expiration of thirty (30) days from the service of notice of entry of the judgment upon the Insured and upon us; or |
2. | written agreement of the Insured, the claimant and us. |
Any person or organization or legal representative thereof who has secured such judgment or written agreement shall thereafter be entitled to recover under this policy to the extent of the insurance afforded by this policy. We may not be impleaded by the Insured or its legal representative in any legal action brought against the Insured by any person or organization.
ALL OTHER TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED.

(3) | upon written request of the Insured made to the department within ten days from the Insureds receipt of notice of cancellation on this ground, the department shall undertake a review of the ground for cancellation to determine whether or not the Insurer has satisfied the criteria for cancellation specified in this subparagraph; if after such review the department finds no sufficient cause for cancellation on this ground, the notice of cancellation on this ground shall be deemed null and void. |
Notice of cancellation by the Insurer shall specify the grounds for cancellation.

Approval of Fidelity Bond
WHEREAS, Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), and Rule 17g-1(a) thereunder, require each business development company (BDC), such as Solar Capital Ltd. (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 BDC 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, or (iii) a bond which names the Company and one or more other parties as insureds in a joint insured bond, as permitted by Rule 17g-1; and
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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).

AGREEMENT REGARDING THE ALLOCATION OF
FIDELITY BOND RECOVERIES
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of February 24, 2016, 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. |
[Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank]
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. 01-174-34-33. 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 Capital Ltd. |
$ | 1,620,300,000 | $ | 1,500,000 | ||||
Solar Senior Capital Ltd. |
$ | 362,577,000 | $ | 750,000 | ||||
|
|
|||||||
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, |
