See also General Agreement C (Court Costs and Attorneys' Fees).

The Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss of Securities unless each of the Securities is
identified in such proofof loss by a certificate or bond number or by such identification means as the
Underwriter may require. The Underwriter shall have a reasonable period after receipt of a proper
affirmative proof of loss within which to investigate the claim, but where the Property is Securities
and the loss is clear and undisputed, settlement shall be made within forty-eight (48) hours even ifthe
loss involves Securities ofwhich duplicates may be obtained.

The Insured shall not bring legal proceedings against the Underwriter to recover any loss hereunder
prior to sixty (60) days after filing such proof of loss or subsequent to twenty-four (24) months after
the discovery of such loss or, in the case ofa legal proceeding to recover hereunder on account ofany
judgment against the Insured in or settlement of any suit mentioned in General Agreement C or to
recover court costs or attorneys' fees paid in any such suit, twenty-four (24) months after the date of
the final judgment in or settlement of such suit. If any limitation in this Bond is prohibited by any
applicable law, such limitation shall be deemed to be amended to be equal to the minimum period of
limitation permitted by such law.

Notice hereunder shall be given to Manager, Professional Liability Claims, ICI Mutual Insurance
Company, 1401 H St. NW, Washington, DC 20005.

SECTION 5. DISCOVERY

For all purposes under this Bond, a loss is discovered, and discovery of a loss occurs, when the
Insured

(1) becomes aware offacts, or

(2) receives notice of an actual or potential claim by a third party which alleges that the Insured is
liable under circumstances,

which would cause a reasonable person to assume that loss covered by this Bond has been or is likely
to be incurred even though the exact amount or details ofloss may not be known.

SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PROPERTY

For the purpose of determining the amount of any loss hereunder, the value of any Property shall be
the market value of such Property at the close of business on the first business day before the
discovery ofsuch loss; except that

(1) the value of any Property replaced by the Insured prior to the payment ofa claim therefor shall be
the actual market value of such Property at the time of replacement, but not in excess of the
market value of such Property on the first business day before the discovery of the loss of such
Property;

(2) the value of Securities which must be produced to exercise subscription, conversion, redemption
or deposit privileges shall be the market value of such privileges immediately preceding the
expiration thereof ifthe loss of such Securities is not discovered until after such expiration, but if
there is no quoted or other ascertainable market price for such Property or privileges referred to in
clauses (1) and (2), their value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by arbitration
before an arbitrator or arbitrators acceptable to the parties; and

(3) the value ofbooks of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct ofits business
shall be limited to the actual cost of blank books, blank pages or other materials if the books or
records are reproduced plus the cost of labor for the transcription or copying ofdata furnished by
the Insured for reproduction.

SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES

The maximum liability of the Underwriter hereunder for lost Securities shall be the payment for, or
replacement of, such Securities having an aggregate value not to exceed the applicable Limit of
Liability. Ifthe Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of Securities, the Insured
shall assign to the Underwriter all ofthe Insured's right, title and interest in and to such Securities. In
lieu of such payment, the Underwriter may, at its option, replace such lost Securities, and in such case
the Insured shall cooperate to effect such replacement. To effect the replacement of lost Securities,
the Underwriter may issue or arrange for the issuance of a lost instrument bond. If the value of such
Securities does not exceed the applicable Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery of the
loss), the Insured will pay the usual premium charged for the lost instrument bond and will indemnify
the issuer ofsuch bond against all loss and expense that it may sustain because ofthe issuance ofsuch
bond.

If the value of such Securities exceeds the applicable Deductible Amount (at the time of discovery of
the loss), the Insured will pay a proportion ofthe usual premium charged for the lost instrument bond,
equal to the percentage that the applicable Deductible Amount bears to the value of such Securities
upon discovery of the loss, and will indemnify the issuer of such bond against all loss and expense
that is not recovered from the Underwriter under the terms and conditions ofthis Bond, subject to the
applicable Limit ofLiability.

SECTION 8. SALVAGE

If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account ofany loss within the
applicable Limit of Liability hereunder, the Underwriter shall be entitled to the full amount of such
recovery to reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts paid hereunder with respect to such loss. Ifany
recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account of any loss in excess ofthe
applicable 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 amount of such recovery, net of the actual costs and expenses of recovery,
shall be applied to reimburse the Insured in full for the portion of such loss in excess of such Limit of
Liability, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid first to reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts
paid hereunder with respect to such loss and then to the Insured to the extent of the portion of such
loss within the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall execute all documents which the Underwriter
deems necessary or desirable to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.

SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABU,ITY AND TOTAL
LIABll,ITY

Prior to its termination, this Bond shall continue in force up to the Limit ofLiability for each Insuring
Agreement for each Single Loss, notwithstanding any previous loss (other than such Single 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 with respect to any
Single Loss shall be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability irrespective of the total amount of
such Single Loss and shall not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or from period to period.

SECTION 10. MAXIMUM LIABll,ITY OF UNDERWRITER; OTHER BONDS OR POLICIES

The maximum liability of the Underwriter for any Single Loss covered by any Insuring Agreement
under this Bond shall be the Limit of Liability applicable to such Insuring Agreement, subject to the
applicable Deductible Amount and the other provisions of this Bond. Recovery for any Single Loss
may not be made under more than one Insuring Agreement. If any Single Loss covered under this
Bond is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part because of an unexpired discovery period under
any other bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter to the Insured or to any predecessor in interest
of the Insured, the maximum liability of the Underwriter shall be the greater of either (1) the
applicable Limit of Liability under this Bond, or (2) the maximum liability ofthe Underwriter under
such other bonds or policies.

SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any loss covered by this Bond shall also be
covered by other insurance or suretyship for the benefit ofthe Insured, the Underwriter shall be liable
hereunder only for the portion of such loss in excess of the amount recoverable under such other
insurance or suretyship, but not exceeding the applicable Limit ofLiability ofthis Bond.

SECTION 12. DEDUCTffiLE AMOUNT

The Underwriter shall not be liable under any Insuring Agreement unless the amount of the loss
covered thereunder, after deducting the net amount of all reimbursement and/or recovery received by
the Insured with respect to such loss (other than from any other bond, suretyship or insurance policy
or as an advance by the Underwriter hereunder) shall exceed the applicable Deductible Amount; in
such case the Underwriter shall be liable only for such excess, subject to the applicable Limit of
Liability and the other terms ofthis Bond.

No Deductible Amount shall apply to any loss covered under Insuring Agreement A sustained by any
Investment Company named as an Insured.

SECTION 13. TERMINATION

The Underwriter may tenninate this Bond as to any Insured or all Insureds only by written notice to
such Insured or Insureds and, if this Bond is tenninated as to any Investment Company, to each such
Investment Company tenninated thereby and to the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Washington, D.C., in all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of tennination
specified in such notice.

The Insured may tenninate this Bond only by written notice to the Underwriter not less than sixty (60)
days prior to the effective date of the termination specified in such notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, when the Insured terminates this Bond as to any Investment Company, the effective date of
tennination shall be not less than sixty (60) days from the date the Underwriter provides written
notice of the termination to each such Investment Company tenninated thereby and to the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.

This Bond will tenninate as to any Insured that is a Non-Fund immediately and without notice upon
(1) the takeover of such Insured's business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any
receiver or liquidator, or (2) the filing of a petition under any State or Federal statute relative to
bankruptcy or reorganization ofthe Insured, or assignment for the benefit ofcreditors ofthe Insured.

Premiums are earned until the effective date of termination. The Underwriter shall refund the
unearned premium computed at short rates in accordance with the Underwriter's standard short rate
cancellation tables if this Bond is tenninated by the Insured or pro rata ifthis Bond is terminated by
the Underwriter.

Upon the detection by any Insured that an Employee has committed any Dishonest or Fraudulent
Act(s) or Theft, the Insured shall immediately remove such Employee from a position that may enable
such Employee to cause the Insured to suffer a loss by any subsequent Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s)
or Theft. The Insured, within two (2) business days of such detection, shall notify the Underwriter
with full and complete particulars ofthe detected Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.

For purposes of this section, detection occurs when any partner, officer, or supervisory employee of
any Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee, becomes aware that the Employee has
committed any Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.

This Bond shall terminate as to any Employee by written notice from the Underwriter to each Insured
and, if such Employee is an Employee of an Insured Investment Company, to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, in all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of
tennination specified in such notice.

SECTION 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION

At any time prior to the effective date of termination of this Bond as to any Insured, such Insured
may, by written notice to the Underwriter, elect to purchase the right under this Bond to an additional
period of twelve (12) months within which to discover loss sustained by such Insured prior to the
effective date of such tennination and shall pay an additional premium therefor as the Underwriter
may reqmre.

Such additional discovery period shall terminate immediately and without notice upon the takeover of
such Insured's business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator.
Promptly after such termination the Underwriter shall refund to the Insured any unearned premium.

The right to purchase such additional discovery period may not be exercised by any State or Federal
official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over the Insured's
business.

SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES

The Underwriter shall not be liable for loss in connection with the central handling of securities
within the systems established and maintained by any Depository ("Systems"), unless the amount of
such loss exceeds the amount recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy or participants' fund
insuring the Depository against such loss (the "Depository's Recovery"); in such case the Underwriter
shall be liable hereunder only for the Insured's share of such excess loss, subject to the applicable
Limit ofLiability, the Deductible Amount and the other terms ofthis Bond.

For determining the Insured's share of such excess loss, (1) the Insured shall be deemed to have an
interest in any certificate representing any security included within the Systems equivalent to the
interest the Insured then has in all certificates representing the same security included within the
Systems; (2) the Depository shall have reasonably and fairly apportioned the Depository's Recovery
among all those having an interest as recorded by appropriate entries in the books and records ofthe
Depository in Property involved in such loss, so that each such interest shall share in the Depository's
Recovery in the ratio that the value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such interests;
and (3) the Insured's share of such excess loss shall be the amount of the Insured's interest in such
Property in excess ofthe amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by the Depository.

This Bond does not afford coverage in favor ofany Depository or Exchange or any nominee in whose
name is registered any security included within the Systems.

SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED

Ifmore than one entity is named as the Insured:

A. the total liability ofthe Underwriter hereunder for each Single Loss shall not exceed the Limit of
Liability which would be applicable if there were only one named Insured, regardless of the
number ofInsured entities which sustain loss as a result ofsuch Single Loss,

B. the Insured first named in Item 1 ofthe Declarations shall be deemed authorized to make, adjust,
and settle, and receive and enforce payment of, all claims hereunder as the agent of each other
Insured for such purposes and for the giving or receiving ofany notice required or permitted to be
given hereunder; provided, that the Underwriter shall promptly furnish each named Insured
Investment Company with (1) a copy of this Bond and any amendments thereto, (2) a copy of
each formal filing of a claim hereunder by any other Insured, and (3) notification ofthe terms of
the settlement ofeach such claim prior to the execution ofsuch settlement,

C. the Underwriter shall not be responsible or have any liability for the proper application by the
Insured first named in Item 1 of the Declarations of any payment made hereunder to the first
named Insured,

D. for the purposes of Sections 4 and 13, knowledge possessed or discovery made by any partner,
officer or supervisory Employee of any Insured shall constitute knowledge or discovery by every
named Insured,

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, and

F. each named Insured shall constitute "the Insured" for all purposes ofthis Bond.

SECTION 17. NOTICE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL

Within thirty (30) days after learning that there has been a change in control of an Insured by transfer
ofits outstanding voting securities the Insured shall give written notice to the Underwriter of:

A. the names of the transferors and transferees (or the names of the beneficial owners if the voting
securities are registered in another name), and

beneficial owners), both immediately before and after the transfer, and

C. the total number ofoutstanding voting securities.

management or policies ofthe Insured.

Underwriter's authorized representative. Any Rider which modifies the coverage provided by
Insuring Agreement A, Fidelity, in a manner which adversely affects the rights of an Insured
Investment Company shall not become effective until at least sixty (60) days after the Underwriter has
given written notice thereof to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., and to
each Insured Investment Company affected thereby.

SECTION 19. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE TRADE AND ECONOMIC SANCTIONS

This Bond shall not be deemed to provide any coverage, and the Underwriter shall not be required to
pay any loss or provide any benefit hereunder, to the extent that the provision of such coverage,
payment of such loss or provision of such benefit would cause the Underwriter to be in violation of
any applicable trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, any
sanctions, laws or regulations administered and enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office
ofForeign Assets Control (OFAC).

meanmgs:

a. "Authorized User" means any person or entity designated by the Insured (through

In the event that one or more Insureds under this Bond and one or more Insureds under ICI Mutual Investment Company Blanket Bond No. 87117214B ("Associated Bond" and, together with this Bond, the "ICI Mutual Bonds") sustain losses that would constitute a Single Loss (assuming, for this purpose, that the ICI Mutual Bonds were deemed to be a single bond), the total liability of the Underwriter for such losses under the ICI Mutual Bonds in combination shall in no event exceed the highest ofthe applicable Limits of Liability for the relevant Insuring Agreement as established under the ICI Mutual Bonds. In no event shall the applicable Limit of Liability of each of the ICI Mutual Bonds be added together or otherwise combined to determine the total liability ofthe Underwriter.

By way of example, if (1) one or more Insureds were to sustain losses covered under Insuring Agreement A (Fidelity) of this Bond and one or more Insureds under the Associated Bond were to sustain losses covered under Insuring Agreement A (Fidelity) of the Associated Bond, and (2) such losses were caused by one or more Dishonest or Fraudulent Acts committed by the same person, then the total liability of the Underwriter for such losses could in no event exceed Four Hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000), regardless of the total amount of such losses or how such losses are allocable as between this Bond and the Associated Bond. The foregoing example is included solely for convenience, and shall not itselfbe deemed to be a term or condition ofcoverage.

Except as above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend any ofthe terms ofthis Bond.

Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group ("ICI Mutual"), are subject to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (the "Act"). The Act establishes a Federal insurance backstop under which ICI Mutual and these other insurers will be partially reimbursed for future "insured losses" resulting from certified "acts of terrorism." (Each of these bolded terms is defined by the Act.) The Act also places certain disclosure and other obligations on ICI Mutual and these other msurers.

Pursuant to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified "acts of terrorism" will be partially reimbursed by the United States government under a formula established by the Act. Under this formula, the United States government will reimburse ICI Mutual for 85% of ICI Mutual's "insured losses" in excess of a statutorily established deductible until total insured losses of all participating insurers reach $100 billion. If total "insured losses" of all property and casualty insurers reach $100 billion during any applicable period, the Act 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.

This bond has no express exclusion for "acts of terrorism." However, coverage under this bond remains subject to all applicable terms, conditions and limitations of the bond (including exclusions) that are permissible under the Act. The portion ofthe premium that is attributable to any coverage potentially available under the bond for "acts of terrorism" is one percent (1 %).
