practicable moment after discovery of any loss hereunder the Insured shall give
the Underwriter written notice thereof and shall also within six months after
such discovery furnish to the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full

proof of loss within which to investigate the claim, but where the loss is
clear and undisputed, settlement shall be made within forty-eight hours; and
this shall apply notwithstanding the loss is made up wholly or in part of
securities of which duplicates may be obtained. Legal proceedings for recovery
of any loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to the expiration of sixty

expiration of twenty-four months from the discovery of such loss, except that
any action or proceeding to recover hereunder on account of any judgment

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">AGREEMENT
made this 15 day of March&nbsp;2008, by and among H&amp;Q Healthcare Investors,
H&amp;Q Life Sciences Investors, and Hambrecht&nbsp;&amp; Quist Capital
Management, LLC (each an &#147;Insured&#148; and collectively the &#147;Insureds&#148;).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS,
each of H&amp;Q Healthcare Investors and H&amp;Q Life Sciences Investors (each
a &#147;Fund&#148; and collectively the &#147;Funds&#148;) is a management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#147;1940 Act&#148;);
and</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS,
pursuant to the requirements of Rule&nbsp;17g-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund
is required to maintain a fidelity bond against larceny and embezzlement
covering certain of its officers and employees; and</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS,
Rule&nbsp;17g-1 provides that a registered management investment company may obtain
a joint insured bond covering itself and one or more other registered
investment companies which are managed by the same persons and one or more
other parties, provided that each such other party is engaged in the management
or distribution of the shares of such registered investment companies; and</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS,
each Fund is managed by Hambrecht&nbsp;&amp; Quist Capital Management, LLC (&#147;HQCM&#148;);
and</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS,
the Insureds have entered into a joint insured bond issued by [bond issuer]
(the &#147;Bond&#148;); and</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">WHEREAS,
the Insureds desire to provide for: (1)&nbsp;the method by which the amount of
coverage provided under the Bond will be determined from time to time and (2)&nbsp;an
equitable and proportionate allocation of any proceeds received under the Bond
in the event that one or more Insureds suffer loss and consequently are
entitled to recover under the Bond;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NOW
THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed among the parties hereto as follows:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Amount
of Coverage Maintained</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">. The amount of fidelity coverage under the Bond shall at all times be
at least equal in the amount to the total amount of coverage which each Fund
would have been required to provide and maintain individually pursuant to the
schedule set forth in paragraph (d)&nbsp;of Rule&nbsp;17g-1 under the 1940 Act
had each Fund not been a named insured under the Bond.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Allocation
of Recovery</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">. In
the event recovery is received under the Bond as a result of loss sustained by one
or more of the Funds and HQCM, each Fund shall receive an equitable and
proportionate share of the recovery which shall be at least equal to the amount
which each Fund would have received had it provided and maintained a single
insured bond with the minimum coverage required by Rule&nbsp;17g-1(d)(1).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Allocation
of Premiums</font></u><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">. No
premium shall be paid by a Fund under the Bond unless such Fund&#146;s Board of
Trustees, including majority of those Trustees who are not &#147;interested persons&#148;
of the Fund, as defined by Section&nbsp;2(a)&nbsp;(19) of the 1940 Act, shall
approve the portion of the premium to be paid by such Fund.</font></p>
