The Underwriter, in consideration of an agreed premium, and in reliance upon all statements made and information furnished to the Underwriter by the Insured in applying for this bond, and subject to the Declarations, Insuring Agreements, General Agreements, Conditions and Limitations and other terms hereof, agrees to indemnify the Insured for:
INSURING AGREEMENTS

    Such dishonest or fraudulent acts must be committed by the Employee with the manifest intent:
  (a)   to cause the Insured to sustain such loss; and
 
  (b)   to obtain financial benefit for the Employee or another person or entity.
   
However, if some or all of the Insured’s loss results directly or indirectly from Loans, that portion of the loss is not covered unless the Employee was in collusion with one or more parties to the transactions and has received, in connection therewith, a financial benefit with a value of at least $2,500.
 
   
As used throughout this Insuring Agreement, financial benefit does not include any employee benefits earned in the normal course of employment, including: salaries, commissions, fees, bonuses, promotions, awards, profit sharing or pensions.
ON PREMISES
(B)  (1)    Loss of Property resulting directly from
  (a)  
robbery, burglary, misplacement, mysterious unexplainable disappearance and damage thereto or destruction thereof, or

      while the property is lodged or deposited within

  (b)  
such office resulting from larceny or theft in, or by burglary or robbery of such office or attempt thereat, or to the interior of such office by vandalism or malicious mischief,
      provided that
  (i)  
the Insured is the owner of such furnishings, fixtures, supplies, equipment, or office or is liable for such loss or damage, and
 
  (ii)   the loss is not caused by fire.
IN TRANSIT
(C)  
Loss of Property resulting directly from robbery, common-law or statutory larceny, misplacement, mysterious unexplainable disappearance, being lost or made away with, and damage thereto or destruction thereof, while the Property is in transit anywhere in the custody of
  (a)  
a natural person acting as a messenger of the Insured (or another natural person acting as messenger or custodian during an emergency arising from the incapacity of the original messenger), or
 
  (b)   a Transportation Company and being transported in an armored motor vehicle, or

(D)  
Loss resulting directly from Forgery or alteration of, on, or in any Negotiable Instruments (except registered or bearer obligations) made or drawn by or drawn upon the Insured, or made or drawn by one acting as agent of the Insured, or purporting to have been made as herein before set forth:
 
    A mechanically reproduced facsimile signature is treated the same as a handwritten signature.
SECURITIES
(E)   Loss resulting directly from the Insured having, in good faith, for its own account or for the account of others,
  (1)   acquired, sold or delivered, or given value, extended credit or assumed liability, on the faith of, any original

Actual physical possession of the items listed in (a) through (g) above by the Insured, is a condition precedent to the Insured’s having relied on the faith of such items.
 
     
A mechanically reproduced facsimile signature is treated the same as a handwritten signature.
COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY
(F)  
Loss resulting directly from the receipt by the Insured, in good faith, of any Counterfeit Money of the United States of America, Canada or of any other country in which the Insured maintains a branch office.
GENERAL AGREEMENTS

A.  
If the Insured shall, while this bond is in force, establish any additional offices, other than by consolidation or merger with, or purchase or acquisition of assets or liabilities of, another institution, such offices shall be automatically covered hereunder from the date of such establishment without the requirement of notice to the Underwriter or the payment of additional premium for the remainder of the premium period.
 
   
If the Insured shall, while this bond is in force, consolidate or merge with, or purchase or acquire assets or liabilities of, another institution, the Insured shall not have such coverage as is afforded under this bond for loss which
  (a)   has occurred or will occur in offices or premises, or
 
  (b)   has been caused or will be caused by an employee or employees of such institution, or
 
  (c)  
has arisen or will arise out of the assets or liabilities acquired by the Insured as a result of such consolidation, merger or purchase or acquisition of assets or liabilities unless the Insured shall
  (i)  
give the Underwriter written notice of the proposed consolidation, merger or purchase or acquisition of assets or liabilities prior to the proposed effective date of such action and
 
  (ii)  
obtain the written consent of the Underwriter to extend the coverage provided by this bond to such additional offices or premises, Employees and other exposures, and

B.   When the Insured learns of a change in control, it shall give written notice to the Underwriter.
 
   
As used in this General Agreement, control means the power to determine the management or policy of a controlling holding company or the Insured by virtue of voting-stock ownership. A change in ownership of voting-stock which results in direct or indirect ownership by a stockholder or an affiliated group of stockholders of ten percent (10%) or more of such stock shall be presumed to result in a change of control for the purpose of the required notice.
 
   
Failure to give the required notice shall result in termination of coverage for any loss involving a transferee, to be effective upon the date of stock transfer.
REPRESENTATION OF INSURED
C.  
The Insured represents that the information furnished in the application for this bond is complete, true and correct. Such application constitutes part of this bond.
 
   
Any misrepresentation, omission, concealment or incorrect statement of a material fact, in the application or otherwise, shall be grounds for the rescission of this bond.
JOINT INSURED
D.  
If two or more Insureds are covered under this bond, the first named Insured shall act for all Insureds. Payment by the Underwriter to the first named Insured of loss sustained by any Insured shall fully release the Underwriter on account of such loss. If the first named Insured ceases to be covered under this bond, the Insured next named shall thereafter be considered as the first named Insured. Knowledge possessed or discovery made by any Insured shall constitute knowledge or discovery by all Insureds for all purposes of this bond. The liability of the Underwriter for loss or losses sustained by all Insureds shall not exceed the amount for which the Underwriter would have been liable had all such loss or losses been sustained by one Insured.
NOTICE OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST INSURED-ELECTION TO DEFEND
E.  
The Insured shall notify the Underwriter at the earliest practicable moment, not to exceed 30 days after notice thereof, of any legal proceeding brought to determine the Insured’s liability for any loss, claim or damage, which, if established, would constitute a collectible loss under this bond. Concurrently, the Insured shall furnish copies of all pleadings and pertinent papers to the Underwriter.

7


 

   
The Underwriter, at its sole option, may elect to conduct the defense of such legal proceeding, in whole or in part. The defense by the Underwriter shall be in the Insured’s name through attorneys selected by the Underwriter. The Insured shall provide all reasonable information and assistance required by the Underwriter for such defense.
   
If the Underwriter elects to defend the Insured, in whole or in part, any judgment against the Insured on those counts or causes of action which the Underwriter defended on behalf of the Insured or any settlement in which the Underwriter participates and all attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Underwriter in the defense of the litigation shall be a loss covered by this bond.
   
If the Insured does not give the notices required in subsection (a) of Section 5 of this bond and in the first paragraph of this General Agreement, or if the Underwriter elects not to defend any causes of action, neither a judgment against the Insured, nor a settlement of any legal proceeding by the Insured, shall determine the existence, extent or amount of coverage under this bond for loss sustained by the Insured, and the Underwriter shall not be liable for any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Insured.
   
With respect to this General Agreement, subsections (b) and (d) of Section 5 of this bond apply upon the entry of such judgment or the occurrence of such settlement instead of upon discovery of loss. In addition, the Insured must notify the Underwriter within 30 days after such judgment is entered against it or after the Insured settles such legal proceeding, and, subject to subsection (e) of Section 5, the Insured may not bring legal proceedings for the recovery of such loss after the expiration of 24 months from the date of such final judgment or settlement.

DISCOVERY
Section 3. This bond applies to loss discovered by the Insured during the Bond Period.

Discovery also occurs when the Insured receives notice of an actual or potential claim in which it is alleged that the Insured is liable to a third party under circumstances which, if true, would constitute a loss under this bond.
LIMIT OF LIABILITY
Section 4.
Aggregate Limit of Liability
The Underwriter’s total liability for all losses discovered during the Bond Period shown in Item 2 of the Declarations shall not exceed the Aggregate Limit of Liability shown in Item 3 of the Declarations. The Aggregate Limit of Liability shall be reduced by the amount of any payment made under the terms of this bond.
Upon exhaustion of the Aggregate Limit of Liability by such payments;
(a)  
The Underwriter shall have no further liability for loss or losses regardless of when discovered and whether or not previously reported to the Underwriter, and

13


 

(b)  
The Underwriter shall have no obligation under General Agreement E to continue the defense of the Insured, and upon notice by the Underwriter to the Insured that the Aggregate Limit of Liability has been exhausted, the Insured shall assume all responsibility for its defense at its own cost.
The Aggregate Limit of Liability shall not be increased or reinstated by any recovery made and applied in accordance with subsections (a), (b) and (c) of Section 7. In the event that a loss of Property is settled by the Underwriter through the use of a lost instrument bond, such loss shall not reduce the Aggregate Limit of Liability.
Single Loss Limit of Liability
Subject to the Aggregate Limit of Liability, the Underwriter’s liability for each Single Loss shall not exceed the applicable Single Loss Limit of Liability shown in Item 4 of the Declarations. If a Single Loss is covered under more than one Insuring Agreement or Coverage, the maximum payable shall not exceed the largest applicable Singel Loss Limit of Liability.
Single Loss Defined
Single Loss means all covered loss, including court costs and attorney’s fees incurred by the Underwriter under General Agreement E, resulting from
(a)  
any one act or series of related acts of burglary, robbery or attempt thereat, in which no Employee is implicated, or
(b)  
any one act or series of related unintentional or negligent acts or omissions on the part of any person (whether an Employee or not) resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of Property, or
(c)  
all acts or omissions other than those specified in (a) and (b) preceding, caused by any person (whether an Employee or not) or in which such person is implicated, or
(d)  
any one casualty or event not specified in (a), (b) or (c) preceding.
NOTICE/PROOF-LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST UNDERWRITER
Section 5.
(a)  
At the earliest practicable moment, not to exceed 30 days, after discovery of loss, the Insured shall give the Underwriter notice thereof.
(b)  
Within 6 months after such discovery, the Insured shall furnish to the Underwriter proof of loss, duly sworn to, with full particulars.

14


 

(c)  
Lost Certified Securities listed in a proof of loss shall be identified by certificate or bond numbers if such securities were issued therewith.
(d)  
Legal proceedings for the recovery of any loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to the expiration of 60 days after the original proof of loss is filed with the Underwriter or after the expiration of 24 months from the discovery of such loss.
(e)  
If any limitation embodied in this bond is prohibited by any law controlling the construction hereof, such limitation shall be deemed to be amended so as to equal the minimum period of limitation provided by such law.
(f)  
This bond affords coverage only in favor of the Insured. No suit, action or legal proceedings shall be brought hereunder by any one other than the named Insured.
VALUATION
Section 6. Any loss of Money, or loss payable in Money, shall be paid, at the option of the Insured, in the Money of the country in which the loss was sustained or in the United States of America dollar equivalent thereof determined at the rate of exchange at the time of payment of such loss.
Securities
The Underwriter shall settle in kind its liability under this bond on account of a loss of any securities or, at the option of the Insured, shall pay to the Insured the cost of replacing such securities, determined by the market value thereof at the time of such settlement. In case of a loss of subscription, conversion or redemption privileges through the misplacement or loss of securities, the amount of such loss shall be the value of such privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof, if such securities cannot be replaced or have no quoted market value, or if such privileges have no quoted market value, their value shall be determined by agreement or arbitration.
If the applicable coverage of this bond is subject to a Deductible Amount and/or is not sufficient in amount to indemnify the Insured in full for the loss of securities for which claim is made hereunder, the liability of the Underwriter under this bond is limited to the payment for, or the duplication of, so much of such securities as has a value equal to the amount of such applicable coverage.
Books of Account and Other Records
In case of loss of, or damage to, any books of account or other records used by the Insured in its business, the Underwriter shall be liable under this bond only if such books or records are actually reproduced and then for more than the cost of the 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.

     WHEREAS, the Board has reviewed the renewal of the Company’s Investment Company Bond, issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA (the “Fidelity Bond”), which includes as joint insured the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Triangle Mezzanine Fund LLLP (the “Fund”); and
     WHEREAS, the Board has considered, among other things: (i) the required amount of fidelity bond coverage for a joint insured bond under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”); (ii) the form and amount of fidelity bond coverage in light of the value of the aggregate assets of the Company and the Fund; (iii) the number of the insured parties; (iv) the amount of premium for the Fidelity Bond allocable to the Company and the Fund, in the amounts of $8,970 and $2,990, respectively, such premium allocable to the Company having been paid for the period of February 21, 2011 through February 21, 2012; and (v) the comparative amount that the Company would have had to pay if it had provided and maintained a single insured bond, such amount being $8,970.
     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the members of the Board approving these resolutions, each of whom is not an interested person under the 1940 Act, hereby acknowledge and agree that the Fidelity Bond is reasonable in form and amount.
     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appropriate officers of the Company be, and they hereby are, authorized to enter into the Fidelity Bond for the Company.
     FURTHER RESOLVED, that any and all previous actions taken by the Company’s officers, principals or agents in connection with the Fidelity Bond be, and hereby are, approved and ratified as duly authorized actions of the Company.

AGREEMENT REGARDING FIDELITY BONDING
     This Agreement Regarding Fidelity Bonding is dated effective as of the 21st day of February, 2011, by and among Triangle Capital Corporation and Triangle Mezzanine Fund LLLP (the parties are collectively referred to herein as the “Insureds”).

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Rule 17g-1(f) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), the Insureds desire to document their agreement regarding any future recovery due to either or both of the Insureds under the Bond;
     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth the Insureds hereby agree as follows:
     Each of the Insureds acknowledges and agrees that in the event recovery of any amounts is received under the Bond as a result of a loss sustained by both of the Insureds, the Insureds shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but at least equal to the amount which either Insured would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d)(1) under the Act.
