EXHIBIT A

Resolutions approved by the Board of Directors
of Main Street Capital Corporation
on October 13, 2009

Approval of Fidelity Bond

WHEREAS, Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), and Rule 17g-1(a) thereunder, require a business development company (“BDC”), such as Main Street Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation (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 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, Rule 17g-1 requires that a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) 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 Rule 17g-1; and

WHEREAS, the Board, including all of the Non-Interested Directors, have considered the expected aggregate value of the securities and funds of the Company to which the Company’s officers and employees 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, the requirements of Section 17(g) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17g-1 thereunder, and all other factors deemed relevant by the Board, including such Non-Interested Directors;

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 Federal Insurance Company, a Chubb Group Insurance Company, 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 any and all previous lawful 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; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appropriate officers of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to file a copy of the Fidelity Bond with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and

Insuring Clauses         
 
 
Dishonesty  1.  A.  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. 
 
    B.  Trade or Loan 
 
      Loss resulting directly from dishonest acts of any Employee, committed 
      alone or in collusion with others except with a director or trustee of the

      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

      such improper personal financial gain provided that the ASSURED 
      establishes that the Employee intended to receive such improper personal 
      financial gain.

      Loss, in excess of the Financial Interest in the ASSURED of a Partner,

      interest, or 
 
    (2)  a change in ownership of voting stock or voting rights which results in direct 
      or indirect ownership by a stockholder or an affiliated group of stockholders 
      of ten (10%) percent or more of such stock or voting rights.

    Concurrent with such notice, and as requested thereafter, the ASSURED shall 
    furnish copies of all pleadings and pertinent papers to the COMPANY. 
 
    The COMPANY may, at it sole option, elect to conduct the defense of all or part of 
    such legal proceeding. The defense by the COMPANY shall be in the name of the 
    ASSURED through attorneys selected by the COMPANY. The ASSURED shall 
    provide all reasonable information and assistance as required by the COMPANY 
    for such defense. 
 
    If the COMPANY elects to defend all or part of any legal proceeding, the court 
    costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the COMPANY and any settlement or 
    judgment on that part defended by the COMPANY shall be a loss under the 
    applicable INSURING CLAUSE of this Bond. In addition, if the amount demanded

    court costs and attorney's fees incurred in defending all or part of such legal 
    proceeding is limited to the proportion of such court costs and attorneys' fees 
    incurred that the amount recoverable under this Bond bears to the total of the

                                                 (for policies with no terrorism exclusion or sublimit) 
You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (the “Act”), effective 
December 26, 2007, this policy makes available to you insurance for losses arising out of 
certain acts of terrorism. Terrorism is defined as any act certified by the Secretary of the 
Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the 
United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to 
human life, property or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United 
States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises 
of a United States Mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as 
part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the 
policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion. 
 
You should know that the insurance provided by your policy for losses caused by acts of 
terrorism is partially reimbursed by the United States under the formula set forth in the 
Act. Under this formula, the United States pays 85% of covered terrorism losses that 
exceed the statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company 
providing the coverage. 
 
However, if aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act 
exceed $100 billion in a Program Year (January 1 through December 31), the Treasury 
shall not make any payment for any portion of the amount of such losses that exceeds 
$100 billion.

If aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act exceed 
$100 billion in a Program Year (January 1 through December 31) and we have met our 
insurer deductible under the Act, we shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of 
the amount of such losses that exceeds $100 billion, and in such case insured losses up 
to that amount are subject to pro rata allocation in accordance with procedures 
established by the Secretary of the Treasury. 
 
The portion of your policy’s annual premium that is attributable to insurance for such acts 
of terrorism is: $ -0-.

Re: Financial Strength 
  Insuring Company: FEDERAL INSURANCE COMPANY 
 
Dear MAIN STREET CAPITAL CORPORATION 
 
Chubb continues to deliver strong financial performance. Our financial strength, as reflected in 
our published reports and our ratings, should give you peace of mind that Chubb will be there 
for you when you need us most. 
 
  Chubb’s financial results during calendar year 2008 stand out in the industry. 
 
  Chubb’s balance sheet is backed with investments that we believe emphasize quality, 
  safety, and liquidity, with total invested assets of $38.7 billion as of December 31, 2008. 
 
  With 127 years in the business, Chubb is here for the long term, which is why we vigorously 
  guard our financial strength and take what we believe is a prudent approach to assuming 
  risk - on both the asset and liability sides of our balance sheet. 
 
  Chubb is one of the most highly rated property and casualty companies in the industry, 
  which is a reflection of our overall quality, strong financial condition, and strong capital 
  position. 
  o  Chubb’s financial strength rating is “A++” from A.M. Best Company, “AA” from Fitch, 
    “Aa2” from Moody’s, and “AA” from Standard & Poor’s – the leading independent 
    evaluators of the insurance industry. 
  o  Chubb’s senior unsecured corporate debt rating from Standard & Poor’s was upgraded 
    from “A” to “A+” on December 15, 2008. Standard & Poor’s also reaffirmed all of 
    Chubb’s ratings with a “stable” outlook. 
  o  A.M. Best, Fitch, and Moody’s recently affirmed all of Chubb’s ratings with a “stable” 
    outlook. (For reference, A.M. Best reaffirmed us on 12/23/08, Fitch on 2/13/09, and 
    Moody’s on 2/4/09.) 
  o  For more than 50 years, Chubb has remained part of an elite group of insurers that have 
    maintained A.M. Best’s highest ratings. 
 
  Chubb was named to Standard & Poor’s list of S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats, one of 52 
  companies in the S&P 500 index that have increased dividends every year for at least 25 
  consecutive years. 
 
  Chubb’s investment portfolio has held up extremely well. Chubb takes what we believe is a 
  conservative approach to selecting and managing our assets. Furthermore, Chubb does not 
  have any direct exposure to the subprime mortgage-backed securities market, and we 
  stopped doing new credit derivative business in 2003 and put existing business in runoff. 

99-10-0100 (06/2009)

Rarely has Chubb’s business philosophy – to underwrite conservatively and invest judiciously – 
been more important than it is today. By adhering to this philosophy, we now have the capacity 
and flexibility to respond to opportunities, especially when you engage us in fully understanding 
your business risks. 
 
 
We want you to know that Chubb is well-positioned to continue serving your needs with our 
underwriting expertise; broad underwriting appetite across all property, casualty, and specialty 
lines; and claim services. If you have any questions, feel free to call your agent or broker or 
your local Chubb underwriter. As always, we appreciate the trust you place in us as your 
insurance partner.
