SECRETARY’S CERTIFICATE

The undersigned hereby certify that the following resolutions have been adopted first by those Board Members who are not considered to be “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (“Independent Board Members”) voting separately, and then by the entire Board of each Fund, at the respective meetings duly called and held on November 15 and 16, 2011:

AMENDED AND RESTATED

JOINT INSURED AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT dated December 1, 1999, as most recently amended as of August 17, 2011, among the registered investment companies advised by Gabelli Funds, LLC, Teton Advisors, Inc. and Gabelli Fixed Income LLC (together, the “Advisers”) which are listed on Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, the “Funds”).

WHEREAS, each of the Funds is named as an insured in an investment company blanket bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) which is intended to be in full compliance with Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and

WHEREAS, the Funds desire to enter into an agreement in order to meet the requirements of Rule 17g-1 and to assure that premiums payable with respect to the Fidelity Bond and payments by the Insurer with respect to the Fidelity Bond are allocated in a fair and equitable manner;

Now, THEREFORE, the Funds do hereby agree as follows:

1. Each Fund shall maintain a minimum amount of fidelity insurance one level higher than that specified for its asset size by the table contained in Rule 17g-1(d) (the “Minimum Insurance”). Each Fund shall aggregate the assets of all of its series to calculate the amount of coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fund shall be required to increase the amount of its fidelity insurance unless and until the aggregate amount of fidelity insurance maintained by the Funds exceeds the aggregate amount of fidelity insurance the Funds are required to maintain pursuant to the table contained in Rule 17g-1(d) by $2 million or less.

2. The allocation of the premium to each Fund shall be based on the proportionate share of the sum of the premiums that would have been paid if fidelity insurance was purchased separately by the Funds, and will be based upon the relative Minimum Insurance percentages of the Funds as of the quarter ending prior to the beginning of the first month in the period for which the coverage is obtained, subject to paragraph 4 below.

3. Each Fund is guaranteed a minimum coverage amount with access to the remainder of the total coverage of the Fidelity Bond. In the event that any recovery is received under the Fidelity Bond as a result of the loss sustained by two or more Funds, each Fund shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but in no event less than the amount it would have received had it maintained a single insured bond with minimum coverage.

4. Each Fund may, at any time, increase its allocation described in paragraph 2 upon payment of the premium required for such additional insurance provided that the face amount of the Fidelity Bond can increase accordingly or be supplemented by a policy of excess insurance.


5. Any other registered investment company or additional series of such an investment company for which the Advisers or their affiliates serves as investment adviser (“Additional Fund”) may become a party to this Agreement by executing a copy of this Agreement (a copy of which will be furnished to each of the Funds) and by paying the premium for any required increase in the amount of the Fidelity Bond if the underwriter of the Fidelity Bond is willing to add such Additional Fund as an additional insured and increase the amount of total coverage by the amount of the Minimum Insurance required for such Additional Fund by the provisions hereof.

6. The Agreement shall remain in effect for as long as two or more of the Funds (including any Additional Fund) are insured under the terms of the Fidelity Bond. Any Fund shall, however, have the right to terminate, at any time, its participation in the Fidelity Bond and in this Agreement provided that losses incurred prior to such termination shall be governed by the provision of this Agreement and the amount of any return premium to which such Fund shall be entitled will be limited to the amount actually obtained from the underwriter in respect of such termination.
