G.  Each of the parties now desires to enter into this Agreement, intending to replace the Amended and Restated Joint Insured Bond Agreement dated as of June 12, 2023 among these same parties, with the addition of an entity.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, hereby agree as follows:

1.  Joint Insured Bond. Each party shall maintain in effect a joint fidelity insurance bond(s) (the “Bond”) from a reputable fidelity insurance company, authorized to do business in the place where the Bond is issued, insuring such party against larceny and embezzlement and covering such of its officers and employees who may, singly or jointly with others, have access, directly or indirectly, to its securities or funds. The Bond shall name each party as an insured and shall comply with the requirements for such bonds established by Rule 17g-1.

2.  Ratable Allocation of Premium.

a)  The premium will be allocated ratably among the Funds, provided, however, that should an increase in the Bond be required by reason of an increase in the gross assets of one or more Funds, each party hereto shall pay a share of the increased premium for the increased bond equal to such party’s increase in assets divided by the total increase in assets. With respect to named insureds that may be added to the bonds and this Agreement pursuant to Section 6 hereof subsequent to the inception date of the bonds, any such increases in gross assets for the purpose of this Section 2(a) shall be measured from $0 dollars and prorated from the inception date of coverage under the bonds.

b)  Notwithstanding the provision of Section 2(a), any additional premiums that may become due under any Bond as a result of the addition of a named insured thereunder pursuant to Section 6 hereof, which addition did not require an increase in the amount of any such Bond, shall be payable, with respect to the Funds’ portion of such premium, by the additional named insured.

3.  Ratable Allocation of Proceeds.

a)  If more than one of the parties sustains a single loss (including a loss sustained before the date hereof) for which recovery is received under the Bond, each such party shall receive that portion of the recovery which is sufficient in amount to indemnify that party in full for the loss sustained by it, unless the recovery is inadequate to fully indemnify all such parties sustaining a single loss.

b)  If the recovery is inadequate to fully indemnify all parties sustaining a single loss, the recovery shall be allocated among such parties as follows:

4.  Claims and Settlements. Each party shall, within five days after the making of any claim under the Bond, provide the other parties with written notice of the amount and nature of such claim. Each party shall, within five days after the receipt thereof, provide the other parties with written notice of the terms of settlement of any claim made under the Bond by such party. In the event that two or more parties shall agree to settlement with the fidelity company of a claim made under the Bond with respect to a single loss, such parties shall, within five days after settlement, provide any other party not a party to such claim with written notice of the amounts to be received by each claiming responsible for filing notices required by paragraph (g) of Rule 17g-1 under the Act shall give and receive any notice required hereby.

5.  Modifications and Amendments. Any party may increase the amount of the Bond. Such party must give written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement. If pursuant to Rule 17g-1 any party shall determine that the coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement should otherwise be modified, it shall so notify the other parties hereto, and indicate the nature of the modification which it believes to be appropriate. If, within 45 days of such notice, any necessary amendments to this Agreement shall not have been made and the request for modification shall not have been withdrawn, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such party (except with respect to losses occurring prior to such termination). Any party may withdraw from this Agreement at any time and cease to be a party hereto (except with respect to losses occurring prior to such withdrawal) by giving written notice to the other parties of such withdrawal. Upon withdrawal, a withdrawing party shall be entitled to receive any portion of any premium rebated by the fidelity company with respect to such withdrawal.

6.  Additional Named Insureds. Any newly created investment company managed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of The TCW Group, Inc., and required to maintain a bond pursuant to Rule 17g-1 may be added as an additional named insured to the Bond and as an additional party to this Agreement upon execution of a Schedule I in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. Inclusion of such Company as a party to this Agreement shall be effective as of the date such company is added to the Bond as a named insured. No payment of any portion of the initial premiums shall be required of any additional named insured company, it being hereby agreed that any such reimbursement amount due to each of the other parties to this Agreement would be de minimis. Any additional premium due and payable as a result of, or subsequent to, addition of such investment company under the Bond shall be payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 hereof.

7.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

8.  No Assignment. This Agreement is not assignable.

9.  Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the appropriate party at 515 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071.

Certain of the Funds are comprised of Portfolios. All obligations of any of such respective Funds under this Agreement shall apply only on a Portfolio by Portfolio basis, and the assets of one Portfolio shall not be liable for the obligations of any other Portfolio.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
