ITEM 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 13, 2009, the Registrant repaid in full, terminated and satisfied and discharged all other obligations under the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Liberty Street Funding LLC, as conduit lender, and The Bank of Nova Scotia, acting through its New York agency, as secondary lender and agent.

As disclosed in more detail in the Registrant’s most recent Form 10-Q filing, under the Credit Agreement, the Registrant was permitted to borrow on a revolving basis up to $10 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions including compliance with a borrowing base test and asset coverage limits. The Credit Agreement imposed stricter limitations than the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requiring generally that asset coverage be at least 300% after a borrowing. The Registrant paid a commitment fee at the annual rate of 1.25% on the total commitment amount, and a utilization fee at the annual rate of 0.75% on outstanding borrowings. The Credit Agreement was secured by substantially all of the assets in the Registrant’s portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents. The Credit Agreement was scheduled to have matured on May 29, 2009. The Registrant, after considering the commitment fees paid under the Credit Agreement, determined that it would be beneficial to terminate the Credit Agreement in advance of the May 29, 2009 maturity date.
