property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group (&#147;ICI Mutual&#148;), are subject
to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;). The Act establishes a federal insurance
backstop under which ICI Mutual and these other insurers may be partially reimbursed by the United States Government for future &#147;insured
losses&#148; resulting from certified &#147;acts of terrorism.&#148; (Each of these bolded terms is defined by the Act.) The Act also

to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified &#147;acts of terrorism&#148; may be partially reimbursed by the United
Sates government under a formula established by the Act. Under this formula, the United States government would generally reimburse ICI
Mutual for the Federal Share of Compensation of ICI Mutual&#146;s &#147;insured losses&#148; in excess of ICI Mutual&#146;s &#147;insurer
deductible&#148; until total &#147;insured losses&#148; of all participating insurers reach $100 billion (the &#147;Cap on Annual
Liability&#148;). If total &#147;insured losses&#148; of all property and casualty insurers reach the Cap on Annual Liability in any
one calendar year, the Act limits U.S. Government reimbursement and provides that the insurers will not be liable under their policies
for their portions of such losses that exceed such amount. Amounts otherwise payable under this Bond may be reduced as a result.</FONT></P>

by and among the Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund, Inc. (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) and Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors, Inc. (the &#8220;Adviser&#8221;).</P>

under the Bond:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 1in 12pt">Proceeds in respect of a claim under the Bond shall be applied
to the unsatisfied claim (or portion thereof) of each Insured by calculating the proportion which the unsatisfied claim (or portion thereof)
of the Fund or the Adviser bears to the total unsatisfied claims (or portions thereof) of all Insureds and applying said portion to the
remaining amount of insurance paid; provided, however, that the Fund shall receive proceeds in an amount at least equal to the amount
which it would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d)
under the Act for the calendar year in which the claims arose.</P>

</FONT>This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first above written, and shall remain in full force and effect as to the Bond
during the bond period as specified in such Bond. Any of the parties may withdraw from this Agreement and the Bond upon sixty (60) days&#8217;
written notice to each of the other parties and the Securities and Exchange Commission.</P>
