RESOLVED, that the estimated premium to be paid by each applicable Fund under the Bond be, and hereby is, approved by vote of a majority of the Board of Directors of each applicable Fund (all Directors voting) and separately by a majority of the Independent Directors, after having given due consideration to, among other things, the number of other parties insured under the Bond, the nature of business activities of those other parties, the amount of the Bond and the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to a Fund under the Bond is less than the premium that the Fund would have had to pay had it maintained a single insured bond; and further

RESOLVED, that the appropriate officers of each Fund be, and they hereby are, authorized and directed to prepare, execute, and file such amendments and supplements to the aforesaid agreement, and to take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to conform to the provisions of the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder; and further
