EXHIBIT A

MAIN STREET CAPITAL CORPORATION

RESOLUTION APPROVING FIDELITY BOND

WHEREAS, Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 17g-1(a) thereunder, requires a business development company, such as 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 Company against larceny and embezzlement, covering each officer and employee of the business development company (“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 (a “single insured bond”), or (iii) a bond which names the Company and one or more other parties as insureds (a “joint insured bond”), as permitted by Rule 17g-1; and

WHEREAS, the Rule requires that a majority of directors who are not “interested persons” of the BDC (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 the Rule which are described in the accompanying memorandum attached hereto; and

WHEREAS, under the Rule, the Company is required to make certain filings with the SEC and give certain notices to each member of the Board in connection with the bond, and designate an officer who shall make such filings and give such notices;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that having considered the expected aggregate value of the securities and funds of the Company to which officers or employees of the Company 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, and the requirements of Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17g-1 thereunder, it is determined 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 Chubb Insurance having an aggregate coverage of $5,000,000 is reasonable, and the Fidelity Bond be, and hereby is, approved by a majority of the Non-Interested Directors; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company be, and they hereby are, authorized to take all appropriate actions, including adjusting the terms of the Fidelity Bond as necessary, with the advice of legal counsel to the Company, to provide and maintain the Fidelity Bond on behalf of the Company; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chief Executive Officer of the Company be and hereby is, designated as the party responsible for making the necessary filings and giving the notices with respect to such bond required by paragraph (g) of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.

Employee Loss resulting directly from dishonest acts, other than stated in 1.B. below, of any Employee, committed alone or in collusion with others except with a director or trustee of the ASSURED who is not an Employee, which result in improper personal financial gain to either such Employee or other natural person acting in collusion with such Employee, or which acts were committed with the intent to cause the ASSURED to sustain such loss.

			provided, however, the ASSURED shall first establish that the loss was directly caused by dishonest acts of any Employee which result in improper personal financial gain to such Employee and which acts were committed with the intent to cause the ASSURED to sustain such loss.

			Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a loss is covered under this INSURING CLAUSE and the Employee was acting in collusion with others and intended to receive improper personal financial gain, but said Employee failed to derive such improper personal financial gain, such loss will nevertheless be covered under this INSURING CLAUSE as if the Employee had obtained such improper personal financial gain provided that the ASSURED establishes that the Employee intended to receive such improper personal financial gain.

		C.	Partner

			Loss, in excess of the Financial Interest in the ASSURED of a Partner, resulting directly from dishonest or fraudulent acts of such Partner, committed alone or in collusion with others, which acts must be committed with the intent:
