customer, shareholder or subscriber of the Insured, or any Authorized
Representative of such customer, shareholder or subscriber.
(H) UNCOLLECTIBLE ITEMS OF DEPOSIT
Loss resulting from payments of dividends or fund shares, or withdrawals

loss resulting from any item of Deposit processed through an Automated
Clearing House which is reversed by the customer, shareholder or subscriber and

examinations required by any governmental regulatory authority to be conducted

discovery of loss sustained by the Insured through any dishonest or fraudulent
act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement of any of the Employees. The total
liability of the Underwriter for such expense by reason of such acts of any
Employee or in which such Employee is concerned or implicated or with respect to
any one audit or examination is limited to the amount stated opposite Audit
Expense in Item 3 of the Declarations; it being understood, however, that such
expense shall be deemed to be a loss sustained by the Insured through any
dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement of one or more
of the Employees and the liability under this paragraph shall be in addition to
the Limit of Liability stated in Insuring Agreement (A) in Item 3 of the
Declarations.
(J) TELEFACSIMILE TRANSMISSIONS
Loss resulting by reason of the Insured having transferred, paid or
delivered any funds or Property, established any credit, debited any account, or
given any value relying on any fraudulent instructions sent by a customer or
financial institution by Telefacsimile Transmission directed to the Insured,
authorizing or acknowledging the transfer, payment, or delivery of funds or
property, the establishment of a credit, debiting of any account, or the giving
of value by the Insured, but only if such telefacsimile instructions:
(i) bear a valid test key exchanged between the Insured and a customer or
another financial institution with authority to use such test key for
Telefacsimile instructions in the ordinary course of business, but
which test key has been wrongfully obtained by a person who was not
authorized to initiate, make, validate or authenticate a test key
arrangement; and
(ii) fraudulently purport to have been sent by such customer or financial
institution, but which telefacsimile instructions are transmitted
without the knowledge or consent of such customer or financial
institution by a person other than such customer or financial
institution and which bear a forged signature.
"Telefacsimile" means a system of transmitting written documents by
electronic signals over telephone lines to equipment maintained by the

any check or withdrawal order, draft, made or drawn on a customer's account
which bears the signature or endorsement of one other than a person whose name
and signature is on the application on file with the Insured as a signatory on
such account.
It shall be a condition precedent to the Insured's right to recovery under
this Insuring Agreement that the Insured shall have on file signatures of all
persons who are authorized signatories on such account.
GENERAL AGREEMENTS
(A) ADDITIONAL OFFICES OR EMPLOYEES-CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER-NOTICE
(1) If the Insured shall, while this bond is in force, establish any
additional office or offices, such office or offices shall be
automatically covered hereunder from the dates of their establishment,
respectively. No notice to the Underwriter of an increase during any
premium period in the number of offices or in the number of Employees
at any of the offices covered hereunder need be given and no
additional premium need be paid for the remainder of such premium
period.
(2) If an Investment Company, named as Insured herein, shall, while this
bond is in force, merge or consolidate with, or purchase the assets of
another institution, coverage for such acquisition shall apply
automatically from the date of acquisition. The Insured shall notify
the Underwriter of such acquisition within 60 days of said date, and
an additional premium shall be computed only if such acquisition
involves additional offices or employees.
(B) WARRANTY
No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the
application or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a warranty of anything except
that it is true to the best of the knowledge and belief of the person making the
statement.
(C) COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES (Applicable to all Insuring Agreements or
Coverages now or hereafter forming part of this bond)
The Underwriter will Indemnify the Insured against court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense, whether
or not successful, whether or not fully litigated on the merits and whether or
not settled of any suit or legal proceeding brought against the Insured to
enforce the Insured's liability or alleged liability on account of any loss,
Page 3 of 10
claim or damage which, if established against the Insured, would constitute a
loss sustained by the Insured covered under the terms of this bond provided,
however, that with respect to Insuring Agreement (A) this indemnity shall apply
only in the event that
(1) an Employee admits to being guilty of any dishonest or fraudulent
act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement; or
(2) an Employee is adjudicated to be guilty of any dishonest or fraudulent
act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement;
(3) in the absence of (1) or (2) above an arbitration panel agrees, after
a review of an agreed statement of facts, that an Employee would be
found guilty of dishonesty if such Employee were prosecuted.
The Insured shall promptly give notice to the Underwriter of any such suit
or legal proceeding and at the request of the Underwriter shall furnish it with
copies of all pleadings and other papers therein. At the Underwriter's election
the Insured shall permit the Underwriter to conduct the defense of such suit or
legal proceeding, in the Insured's name, through attorneys of the Underwriter's
selection. In such event, the Insured shall give all reasonable information and
assistance which the Underwriter shall deem necessary to the proper defense of
such suit or legal proceeding.
If the Insured's liability or alleged liability is greater than the amount
recoverable under this bond, or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, the
liability of the Underwriter under this General Agreement is limited to that
percentage of litigation expense determined by pro ration of the bond limit of
liability to the amount claimed, after the application of any deductible. This
litigation expense will be in addition to the Limit of Liability for the
applicable Insuring Agreement.
(D) FORMER EMPLOYEE
Acts of Employee, as defined in this bond, are covered under Insuring
Agreement (A) only while the Employee is in the Insured's employ. Should loss
involving a former Employee of the Insured be discovered subsequent to the
termination of employment, coverage would still apply under Insuring Agreement
(A) if the direct proximate cause of the loss occurred while the former Employee
performed duties within the scope of his/her employment.

Underwriter on account of any loss through dishonest or fraudulent act(s)
including Larceny or Embezzlement committed by any of the partners, officers or
employees of such Employers, whether acting alone or in collusion with others,
an assignment of such of the Insured's rights and causes of action as it may
have against such Employers by reason of such acts so committed shall, to the
extent of such payment, be given by the Insured to the Underwriter, and the
Insured shall execute all papers necessary to secure to the Underwriter the
rights herein provided for.
SECTION 4. LOSS-NOTICE-PROOF-LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured named in the
Declarations and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss
sustained by anyone other than the Insured unless the Insured, in its sole
discretion and at its option, shall include such loss in the Insured's proof of
loss. At the earliest 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 particulars. If claim is made under this bond for loss
of securities or shares, the Underwriter shall not be liable unless each of such
securities or shares is identified in such proof of loss by a certificate or
bond number or, where such securities or shares are uncertificated, by such
identification means as agreed to by the Underwriter. The Underwriter shall have
thirty days after notice and proof of loss within which to investigate the
claim, 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 days after such proof of loss is filed with the Underwriter nor after the
expiration of twenty-four months from the discovery of such loss, except that
any action or proceeding to recover hereunder
Page 6 of 10
on account of any judgment against the Insured in any suit mentioned in General
Agreement C or to recover attorneys' fees paid in any such suit, shall be begun
within twenty-four months from the date upon which the judgment in such suit
shall become final. If any limitation embodied in this bond is prohibited by any
law controlling the construction hereof, such limitation shall be deemed to be
amended so as to be equal to the minimum period of limitation permitted by such
law.
Discovery occurs when the Insured
(a) becomes aware of facts, or
(b) receives written notice of an actual or potential claim by a third
party which alleges that the Insured is liable under circumstance
which would cause a reasonable person to assume that a loss covered by the
bond has been or will be incurred even though the exact amount or details
of loss may not be then known.
SECTION 5. VALUATION OF PROPERTY
The value of any Property, except books of accounts or other records used
by the Insured in the conduct of its business, for the loss of which a claim
shall be made hereunder, shall be determined by the average market value of such
Property on the business day next preceding the discovery of such loss;
provided, however, that the value of any Property replaced by the Insured prior
to the payment of claim therefor shall be the actual market value at the time of
replacement; and further provided that in case of a loss or misplacement of
interim certificates, warrants, rights, or other securities, the production
which is necessary to the exercise of subscription, conversion, redemption or
deposit privileges, the value thereof shall be the market value of such
privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof if said loss or
misplacement is not discovered until after their expiration. If no market price
is quoted for such Property or for such privileges, the value shall be fixed by
agreement between the parties or by arbitration.
In case of any loss or damage to Property consisting of books of accounts
or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business, the
Underwriter shall be liable under this bond only if such books or records are
actually reproduced and then for not more than the cost of blank books, blank
pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual transcription or
copying of data which shall have been furnished by the Insured in order to
reproduce such books and other records.
SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PREMISES AND FURNISHINGS
In case of damage to any office of the Insured, or loss of or damage to the
furnishings, fixtures, stationary, supplies, equipment, safes or vaults therein,
the Underwriter shall not be liable for more than the actual cash value thereof,
or for more than the actual cost of their replacement or repair. The Underwriter
may, at its election, pay such actual cash value or make such replacement or
repair. If the Underwriter and the Insured cannot agree upon such cash value or
such cost or replacement or repair, such shall be determined by arbitration.
SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES
If the Insured shall sustain a loss of securities the total value of which
is in excess of the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond, the
liability of the Underwriter shall be limited to payment for, or duplication of,
securities having value equal to the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations
of this bond.
If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of
securities, the Insured shall thereupon assign to the Underwriter all of the
Insured's rights, title and interests in and to said securities.
With respect to securities the value of which do not exceed the Deductible
Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter
may at its sole discretion and option and at the request of the Insured issue a
Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured will
pay the usual premium charged therefor and will indemnify the Underwriter
against all loss or expense that the Underwriter may sustain because of the
issuance of such Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds.
With respect to securities the value of which exceeds the Deductible Amount
(at the time of discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may issue
or arrange for the issuance of a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect
replacement thereof, the Insured agrees that it will pay as premium therefor a
proportion of the usual premium charged therefor, said proportion being equal to
the percentage that the Deductible Amount bears to the value of the securities
upon discovery of the loss, and that it will indemnify the issuer of said Lost
Instrument Bond or Bonds against all loss and expense that is not recoverable
from the Underwriter under the terms and conditions of this INVESTMENT COMPANY
BOND subject to the Limit of Liability hereunder.
SECTION 8. SALVAGE
In case of recovery, whether made by the Insured or by the Underwriter, on
account of any loss in excess of the Limit of Liability hereunder plus the
Deductible Amount applicable to such loss from any source other than suretyship,
insurance, reinsurance, security or indemnity taken by or for the benefit of the
Underwriter, the net amount of such recovery, less the actual costs and expenses
of making same, shall be applied to reimburse the Insured in full for the excess
portion of such loss, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid first in
reimbursement of the Underwriter and thereafter in reimbursement of the Insured
for that part of such loss within the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall
execute all necessary papers to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided
for herein.

SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON- ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY
At all times prior to termination hereof this bond shall continue in force
for the limit stated in the applicable sections of Item 3 of the Declarations of
this bond notwithstanding any previous loss for which the Underwriter may have
paid or be liable to pay hereunder; PROVIDED, however, that regardless of the
number of years this bond shall continue in force and the number of premiums
which shall be payable or paid, the liability of the Underwriter under this bond

resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of Property,
shall be deemed to be one loss, or

person shall be deemed to be one loss, or
(d) all wrongful acts, other than those specified in (a) above, of one or
more persons (which dishonest act(s) or act(s) of Larceny or
Embezzlement include, but are not limited to, the failure of an
Employee to report such acts of others) whose dishonest act or acts
intentionally or unintentionally, knowingly or unknowingly, directly
or indirectly, aid or aids in any way, or permits the continuation of,
the dishonest act or acts of any other person or persons shall be
deemed to be one loss with the act or acts of the persons aided, or
(e) any one casualty or event other than those specified in (a), (b), (c)
or (d) preceding, shall be deemed to be one loss, and
shall be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of
the Declarations of this bond irrespective of the total amount of such loss
or losses and shall not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or from
period to period.

thereunder is discovered, the total liability of the Underwriter under this bond
and under other bonds or policies shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount

other bonds, or policies, as limited by the terms and conditions thereof, for
any such loss if the latter amount be the larger.

of Liability of this bond applicable to such loss.

this bond on account of loss as specified, respectively, in sub-sections (a),

insured, other than from any bond or policy of insurance issued by an insurance
company and covering such loss, or by the Underwriter on account thereof prior
to payment by the Underwriter of such loss, shall exceed the Deductible Amount
set forth in Item 3 of the Declarations hereof (herein called Deductible Amount)

SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES
Securities included in the systems for the central handling of securities

Depository Trust Company, hereinafter called Corporations, to the extent of the
Insured's interest therein as effective by the making of appropriate entries on
the books and records of such Corporations shall be deemed to be Property.
The words "Employee" and "Employees" shall be deemed to include the
officers, partners, clerks and other employees of the New York Stock Exchange,
Boston Stock Exchange, Midwest Stock Exchange, Pacific Stock Exchange and
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, hereinafter called Exchanges, and of the above
named Corporations, and of any nominee in whose name is registered any security
included within the systems for the central handling of securities established
and maintained by such Corporations, and any employee of any recognized service

Page 9 of 10
for the Insured's share of such excess loss(es), but in no event for more than
the Limit of Liability applicable hereunder.
For the purpose of determining the Insured's share of excess loss(es) it
shall be deemed that the Insured has an interest in any certificate representing
any security included within such systems equivalent to the interest the Insured
then has in all certificates representing the same security included within such
systems and that such Corporation shall use their best judgment in apportioning
the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of insurance
indemnifying such Corporations against such loss(es) in connection with the
central handling of securities within such systems among all those having an
interest as recorded by appropriate entries in the books and records of such
Corporations in Property involved in such loss(es) on the basis that each such
interest shall share in the amount(s) so recoverable or recovered in the ratio
that the value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such
interests and that the Insured's share of such excess loss(es) shall be the
amount of the Insured's interest in such Property in excess of the amount(s) so
apportioned to the Insured by such Corporations.
This bond does not afford coverage in favor of such Corporations or
Exchanges or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included
within the systems for the central handling of securities established and
maintained by such Corporations, and upon payment to the Insured by the
Underwriter on account of any loss(Es) within the systems, an assignment of such
of the Insured's rights and causes of action as it may have against such
Corporations or Exchanges shall to the extent of such payment, be given by the
Insured to the Underwriter, and the Insured shall execute all papers necessary
to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.
SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED
If more than one corporation, co-partnership or person or any combination
of them be included as the Insured herein:
(a) the total liability of the Underwriter hereunder for loss or losses
sustained by any one or more or all of them shall not exceed the limit
for which the Underwriter would be liable hereunder if all such loss
were sustained by any one of them.
(b) the one first named herein shall be deemed authorized to make, adjust
and receive and enforce payment of all claims hereunder and shall be
deemed to be the agent of the others for such purposes and for the
giving or receiving of any notice required or permitted to be given by
the terms hereof, provided that the Underwriter shall furnish each
named Investment Company with a copy of the bond and with any
amendment thereto, together with a copy of each formal filing of the
settlement of each such claim prior to the execution of such
settlement,
(c) the Underwriter shall not be responsible for the proper application of
any payment made hereunder to said first named Insured,
(d) knowledge possessed or discovery made by any partner, officer or
supervisory Employee of any Insured shall for the purpose of Section 4
and Section 13 of this bond constitute knowledge or discovery by all
the Insured, and
(e) if the first named Insured ceases for any reason to be covered under
this bond, then the Insured next named shall thereafter be considered
as the first named Insured for the purposes of this bond.
SECTION 17. NOTICE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL
Upon the Insured's obtaining knowledge of a transfer of its outstanding
voting securities which results in a change in control (as set forth in Section
2(a) (9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Insured, the Insured
shall within thirty (30) days of such knowledge give written notice to the
Underwriter setting forth:
(a) the names of the transferors and transferees (or the names of the
beneficial owners if the voting securities are requested in another
name), and
(b) the total number of voting securities owned by the transferors and the
transferees (or the beneficial owners), both immediately before and
after the transfer, and
(c) the total number of outstanding voting securities.
As used in this section, control means the power to exercise a controlling
influence over the management or policies of the Insured.
Failure to give the required notice shall result in termination of coverage
of this bond, effective upon the date of stock transfer for any loss in which
any transferee is concerned or implicated.
Such notice is not required to be given in the case of an Insured which is
an Investment Company.
SECTION 18. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION
This bond or any instrument amending or effecting same may not be changed
or modified orally. No changes in or modification thereof shall be effective
unless made by written endorsement issued to form a part hereof over the
signature of the Underwriter's Authorized Representative. When a bond covers
only one Investment Company no change or modification which would adversely
affect the rights of the Investment Company shall be effective prior to 60 days
after written notification has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Washington, D.C. by the Insured or by the Underwriter. If more than
one Investment Company is named as the Insured herein, the Underwriter shall
give written notice to each Investment Company and to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. not less than 60 days prior to the
effective date of any change or modification which would adversely affect the
rights of such Investment Company.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Underwriter has caused this bond to be executed on the
Declarations Page.

covering any employee of the "insured," as such term is defined by the
Fidelity Bond, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 17g-1 under
the 1940 Act, in the amount of $50.0 million is reasonable in form and
amount, after having given due consideration to the value of the
aggregate assets of the Fund and the other named insureds 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
the securities held by the Fund and the other named insureds; and
further
RESOLVED, That the total amount of coverage under the Fidelity Bond is
at least equal to the amount of coverage which the Fund is required to
provide and maintain individually pursuant to Rule 17g-1(d)(1); and
further
RESOLVED, That the Board hereby ratifies the renewal of the Fidelity
Bond, and authorizes payment by each Fund of its portion of the total
annual premium of $71,018 on the Fidelity Bond, after giving due
consideration to all relevant factors, including, but not limited to,
the number of other insureds, the nature of the business of such other
parties, the amount of coverage under the Fidelity Bond, and the
ratable allocation of the premium among parties named as insureds,
based on the relative assets of such parties; and further
RESOLVED, That in the event that the amount of coverage has to be
increased to satisfy the minimum bonding requirements of Rule 17g-1
under the 1940 Act, any officer of the Fund, be, and hereby is,
authorized to increase the amount of the Fidelity Bond coverage to
comply with such requirements and to allocate any premium payable on
the Fidelity Bond among the Fund and the other named insureds based on
their relative assets; and further
RESOLVED, That the Joint Insured Agreement, to be effective the entire
2010-2011 renewal period, in such form and with such terms as
presented in the Meeting Materials, subject to the final review of
Independent Legal Counsel, be and hereby is approved; and further
RESOLVED, That any officer of the Fund, be, and hereby is, designated
to make all filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to
give all notices on behalf of the Fund required by paragraph (g) of
Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.
JOINT INSURED AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT effective as of August 1, 2010, by and among each of the
Corporations and Trusts listed in Schedule A, each on behalf of their underlying
series. The terms "Fund" or "Funds" are used to refer to the corporation or
trust and the underlying series as context requires.
WHEREAS, the Funds are investment companies registered as such under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Funds are required to provide and maintain a fidelity bond pursuant
to Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act; and
WHEREAS, paragraph (b) of Rule 17g-1 provides that the fidelity bond may be in
the form of a joint insured bond covering the Funds; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors/Trustees of each Fund (the "Directors"),
including a majority of those Directors who are not "interested persons" (as
that term is defined by the 1940 Act) of the Fund, have made the determinations
required by Rule 17g-1, including those provisions specifically applicable to a
joint insured bond;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Funds hereby agree as follows:
1. The Funds will each pay a portion of the premium for the joint insured
fidelity bond which is allocated to each party pro rata according to the
percentage the party's net assets bears to the aggregate net assets of all
the insured parties.
2. In the event recovery is received under the joint insured bond as a result
of a loss sustained by more than one of the insured parties, each party
shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but
such recovery shall be in an amount at least equal to the amount which such
party would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured
bond with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1
under the 1940 Act.
3. Exhibit A hereto may be amended from time to time to reflect the changes in
the funds insured under the bond.
4. For each Fund that is organized as a Massachusetts business trust, a copy
of the Declaration of Trust, together with all amendments, is on file in
the office of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been authorized by the
Trustees and the Agreement has been signed by an authorized officer of the
Fund. It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Fund under this
Agreement shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders,
nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Fund, personally, but bind
only the assets and property of the Fund, as provided in the Declaration of
Trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed the foregoing agreement as
of the day and year first above written.
