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, 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 amount of the Insured’s liability or alleged liability is greater than the amount recoverable under this bond, or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, the liability of the Underwriter under this General Agreement is limited to the proportion of court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred and paid by the Insured or by the Underwriter that the amount recoverable under this bond bears to the total of such amount plus the amount which is not so recoverable. Such indemnity shall be in addition to the Limit of Liability for the applicable Insuring Agreement or Coverage.

D. FORMER EMPLOYEE

Acts of an 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.

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, 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 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 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, stationery, 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 of 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

41206 (9/84) 8 © All rights reserved.

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 BLANKET 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 with respect to all loss resulting from

(a) any one act of burglary, robbery or holdup, or attempt thereat, in which no Partner or Employee is concerned or implicated shall be deemed to be one loss, or

(b) any one unintentional or negligent act on the part of any one person resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of Property, shall be deemed to be one loss, or

(c) all wrongful acts, other than those specified in (a) above, of any one 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

41206 (9/84) 9 © All rights reserved.

from period to period.

Sub- section (c) is not applicable to any situation to which the language of sub-section (d) applies.

SECTION 10. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

With respect to any loss set forth in the PROVIDED clause of Section 9 of this bond which is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part under any other bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter to the Insured or to any predecessor in interest of the Insured and terminated or cancelled or allowed to expire and in which the period for discovery has not expired at the time any such loss 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 carried hereunder on such loss or the amount available to the Insured under such other bonds or policies, as limited by the terms and conditions thereof, for any such loss if the latter amount be the larger.

SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE

If the Insured shall hold, as indemnity against any loss covered hereunder, any valid and enforceable insurance or suretyship, the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for such amount of such loss which is in excess of the amount of such other insurance or suretyship, not exceeding, however, the Limit of Liability of this bond applicable to such loss.

SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE

The Underwriter shall not be liable under any of the Insuring Agreements of this bond on account of loss as specified, respectively, in sub- sections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 9, NON-REDUCTION AND NON- ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY, unless the amount of such loss, after deducting the net amount of all reimbursement and/ or recovery obtained or made by the 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) and then for such excess only, but in no event for more than the applicable Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the Declarations.

The Insured will bear, in addition to the

Deductible Amount, premiums on Lost Instrument Bonds as set forth in Section 7.

There shall be no deductible applicable to any loss under Insuring Agreement A sustained by any Investment Company named as Insured herein.

SECTION 13. TERMINATION

The Underwriter may terminate this bond as an entirety by furnishing written notice specifying the termination date which cannot be prior to 60 days after the receipt of such written notice by each Investment Company named as Insured and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. The Insured may terminate this bond as an entirety by furnishing written notice to the Underwriter. When the Insured cancels, the Insured shall furnish written notice to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington. D.C. prior to 60 days before the effective date of the termination. The Underwriter shall notify all other Investment Companies named as Insured of the receipt of such termination notice and the termination cannot be effective prior to 60 days after receipt of written notice by all other Investment Companies. Premiums are earned until the termination date as set forth herein.

This Bond will terminate as to any one Insured immediately upon taking over of such Insured by a receiver or other liquidator or by State or Federal officials, or immediately upon the filing of a petition under any State or Federal statute relative to bankruptcy or reorganization of the Insured, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Insured. or immediately upon such Insured ceasing to exist, whether through merger into another entity, or by disposition of all of its assets.

The Underwriter shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates in accordance with the standard short rate cancellation tables if terminated by the Insured or pro rata if terminated for any other reason.

This Bond shall terminate

(a) as to any Employee as soon as any partner, officer or supervisory Employee of the Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee, shall learn of any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement on the part of such Employee without prejudice to the loss of any Property then in transit in the custody of such Employee (See

41206 (9/84) 10 © All rights reserved.

Section 16[d]), or

(b) as to any Employee 60 days after receipt by each Insured and by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a written notice from the Underwriter of its desire to terminate this bond as to such Employee, or

(c) as to any person, who is a partner, officer or employee of any Electronic Data Processor covered under this bond, from and after the time that the Insured or any partner or officer thereof not in collusion with such person shall have knowledge or information that such person has committed any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement in the service of the Insured or otherwise, whether such act be committed before or after the time this bond is effective.

SECTION 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION

At any time prior to the termination or cancellation of this bond as an entirety, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, the Insured may give to the Underwriter notice that it desires under this bond an additional period of 12 months within which to discover loss sustained by the Insured prior to the effective date of such termination or cancellation and shall pay an additional premium therefor.

Upon receipt of such notice from the Insured, the Underwriter shall give its written consent thereto; provided, however, that such additional period of time shall terminate immediately;

(a) on the effective date of any other insurance obtained by the Insured, its successor in business or any other party, replacing in whole or in part the insurance afforded by this bond, whether or not such other insurance provides coverage for loss sustained prior to its effective date, or

(b) upon takeover of the Insured’s business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed for this purpose

without the necessity of the Underwriter giving notice of such termination. In the event that such additional period of time is terminated, as provided above, the Underwriter shall refund any unearned

premium.

The right to purchase such additional period for the discovery of loss 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 for the operation or for the liquidation thereof or for any other purpose.

SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES

Securities included in the systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by Depository Trust Company, Midwest Depository Trust Company, Pacific Securities Depository Trust Company, and Philadelphia 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 company, while such officers, partners, clerks and other employees and employees of service companies perform services for such Corporations in the operation of such systems. For the purpose of the above definition a recognized service company shall be any company providing clerks or other personnel to said Exchanges or Corporation on a contract basis.

The Underwriter shall not be liable on account of any loss(es) in connection with the central handling of securities within the systems established and maintained by such Corporations, unless such loss(es) shall be in excess of the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of insurance indemnifying such Corporations, against such loss(es), and then the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the Insured’s share of such excess loss(es), but in no event for more than the Limit of Liability applicable hereunder.

41206 (9/84) 11 © All rights reserved.

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 Corporations 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 purposes 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.

Failure to give the required notice shall result in termination of coverage of this bond,

41206 (9/84) 12 © All rights reserved.

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.

2. Nothing herein contained shall be held to vary, alter, waive or extend any of the terms, limitations, conditions or agreements of the attached policy other than as above stated.

EXCESS INSURANCE POLICY

Words defined in the Followed Policy have the same meaning in this Policy even if not defined herein. In consideration of the payment of the premium and in reliance upon the applications submitted to the Insurer or any insurer of the Underlying Insurance, and any other material submitted in connection with such applications (all of which are deemed attached hereto and made a part hereof) the Insurer and the Insureds agree as follows:

I.    FOLLOW FORM EXCESS COVERAGE

The Insurer shall provide coverage in accordance with all of the terms, conditions and limitations (including, but not limited to the exclusions and notice requirements) of the policy scheduled in Item 4.A. of the Declarations (hereafter “Followed Policy”) except as otherwise set forth herein. Coverage hereunder shall attach only after all of the aggregate Limits of Liability, as set forth in Item 4. of the Declarations have been exhausted through payment of covered loss under all policies scheduled in Item 4. of the Declarations (hereafter “Underlying Insurance”) by or on behalf of the insurers of such Underlying Insurance, or by or on behalf of the Insureds. The risk of uncollectibility of any Underlying Insurance (in whole or in part), whether because of financial impairment or insolvency of an underlying insurer or for any other reason, is expressly retained by the Insureds and is not insured by or assumed by the Insurer.

II.    LIMIT OF LIABILITY

The amount set forth in Item 3. of the Declarations shall be the maximum aggregate Limit of Liability of the Insurer for all loss under this Policy, regardless of the number of claims made against the Insureds or the time of payment and regardless of whether or not an extended reporting period applies. If the Limit of Liability under this Policy is exhausted by payment of loss, the Insurer’s obligations under this Policy shall be deemed completely fulfilled and extinguished.

III.    CHANGES TO UNDERLYING INSURANCE/DEPLETION OF SUB-LIMITS

If, subsequent to the inception date of this Policy, there is a change to any Underlying Insurance which expands coverage, then this Policy shall become subject to such change only if the Insurer agrees thereto by written endorsement to this Policy. If any loss under any Underlying Insurance is subject to a sub-limit, then this Policy provides no coverage excess of such Underlying Insurance sub-limit, but the Underlying Insurance shall be deemed depleted by payment of any such sub-limit.

IV.    INSURER RIGHTS/COOPERATION CLAUSE

The Insurer has the same rights and protections as has the insurer of the Followed Policy and has the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to elect to participate in the investigation, settlement, prosecution or defense of any claim reasonably likely to attach to and be covered under this Policy or any Underlying Insurance, even if the Underlying Insurance has not been exhausted. The Insureds shall cooperate with the Insurer in such investigation, settlement, prosecution or defense and shall do nothing that prejudices the Insurer’s position or rights of recovery.

V.	NOTICES
	Where notice is permitted or required by the Followed Policy, the Insureds have the same rights and obligations to notify the Insurer under this Policy, except that such notice shall be given to the Insurer at the applicable address specified in Item 6. of the Declarations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Insurer has caused this Policy to be executed by its Chairman and Secretary, but this Policy shall not be binding upon us unless completed by the attachment of the Declarations:

The defense by the Insurer shall be in the Named Entity’s name through attorneys selected by the Insurer. The Named Entity shall provide all reasonable information and assistance required by the Insurer for such defense.

If the Insurer elects to defend the Named Entity, in whole or in part, any judgment against the Named Entity on those counts or causes of action which the Insurer defended on behalf of the Named Entity or any settlement in which the Insurer participates and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Insurer in the defense of the litigation shall be a loss under this Policy.

• DEFINITIONS

Single Loss shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Followed Policy; provided, however, if the Followed Policy does not define Single Loss, Single Loss shall mean all covered loss, including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Insurer, as described in the section titled DEFENSE COSTS WITHIN LIMITS of this Endorsement, resulting from:

(a) any one act or series of related acts of burglary, robbery or attempt thereat, in which no employee is implicated, or

(b) any one act or series of related unintentional or negligent acts or omissions on the part of any person whether an employee or not) resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of Property, or

(c) all acts or omissions other than those specified in (a) and (b) preceding, caused by any person (whether an employee or not) or in which such person is implicated, or

(d) any one casualty or event not specified in (a), (b) or (c) preceding.

EXCESS FOLLOW-FORM BOND

THE POLICY’S LIMIT OF LIABILITY WILL BE REDUCED BY CLAIM EXPENSES.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POLICY CAREFULLY.

Throughout this bond the words “you” and “your” refer to the “Insureds”. The words “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the Insurer providing this bond.

It is represented by the “Insureds” and it is agreed by and among the “Insureds” and us that the particulars and statements contained in the information furnished to us or to the issuers of any “Underlying Bond” in connection with underwriting this bond or any “Underlying Bond”, including statements made in the application and its attachments submitted herewith, are true and are the basis of this bond and are considered as incorporated into and constituting a part of this bond.

In consideration of the payment of premium and subject to all terms, definitions, conditions, exclusions, and limitations of this bond (including any endorsements hereto), the “Insurer” and the “Insureds” agree as follows:

SECTION I – INSURING AGREEMENT

We will provide the “Insured” with coverage in excess of the “Underlying Bond” for loss covered during the “Bond Period.” It is expressly agreed that liability for any covered loss shall attach to us only after the issuers of the “Underlying Bond” have paid the full amounts of the applicable limits of insurance of the “Underlying Bond”, and any applicable retention under the “Primary Bond” has been satisfied. Except as otherwise provided in this bond, coverage under this bond shall apply in conformity with and subject to the warranties, limitations, conditions, provisions, and other terms of the “Primary Bond”.

SECTION II – LIMIT OF LIABILITY

B. Exhaustion of Limit of Liability of Underlying Bond

This bond shall drop down only in the event of reduction or exhaustion of the limit(s) of liability of the “Underlying Bond” by reason of payment of covered loss under the “Underlying Bond”, and shall not drop down for any other reason including, but not limited to, uncollectibility (in whole or in part) of any “Underlying Bond”. The risk of uncollectibility of the “Underlying Bond” (in whole or in part) whether because of financial impairment or insolvency of an underlying insurer or for any other reason, is expressly retained by the “Insureds” and is not in any way or under any circumstances insured or assumed by us.

Upon the exhaustion of all the limit(s) of liability of such “Underlying Bond” solely as a result of payment of loss thereunder, the remaining limits available under this bond shall, subject to the other terms, conditions and limitations of this bond, continue for subsequent losses as a primary bond and any single loss deductible amount specified in the Primary Bond shall be imposed under this bond as to each single loss; otherwise no single loss deductible amount shall be imposed under this bond.

2. We may cancel this bond.

The “Insureds” shall fully cooperate with us in connection with the investigation of any covered loss and the assertion of any claim for recovery of such loss, and shall provide to us all information and assistance reasonably requested by us.

We shall maintain full and complete claims control as respects coverage under this bond for any loss, and no action by any other bond issuer shall bind us under this bond.

FIDELITY BOND ALLOCATION AGREEMENT

This Agreement is dated as of December 15, 2017 and is entered into by and among Natixis Funds Trust I (“Trust I”), Natixis Funds Trust II (“Trust II”), Natixis Funds Trust IV (“Trust IV”), Loomis Sayles Funds I (“LSF I”), Loomis Sayles Funds II (“LSF II”), Gateway Trust (“Gateway”) and Natixis ETF Trust (“Natixis ETF”) each on behalf of its investment portfolios. Trust I, Trust II, Trust IV, LSF I, LSF II, Gateway and Natixis ETF are referred to collectively as the “Parties”.

In order to obtain joint-insureds fidelity bond under one or more asset protection bonds (the “Bond”), and in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth below, the Parties agree as follows:

1. The Bond. The parties agree to secure and maintain the Bond, which will ensure each Party’s respective portfolios, directors/trustees, partners and officers, and may insure such Party’s agents and employees (with each of such insureds being referred to as an “Insured” and any Party and such of its Insureds being referred to as a “Party and its Insureds”).

2. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

(a) “Agent” means Natixis Investment Managers, L.P. or its successor, acting as agent for the Parties.

(b) “Gross Coverage” means the limit of liability under the Bond plus all deductibles applied to Insured Losses relating to the particular Bond Period.

(c) “Insured Loss” means a loss (including all related expenses) of an Insured that is covered under the Bond (including any endorsement thereof) or that would be so covered but for the exhaustion of the applicable limit of liability and any applicable deductible).

(d) “Bond Period” means the period from the initial effective date of the Bond through the next succeeding anniversary date or the period from any anniversary date subsequent to the initial effective date through the next succeeding anniversary date (or any modification of such period as may be agreed to by the parties and the Insurer).

(e) “Proceeds” means the insurance proceeds for all Insured Losses under the Bond relating to a particular Bond Period.

3. Allocation of Premiums. Except as otherwise provided below, the Bond premium for any period shall be allocated among the Parties insured during that period in proportion to their respective net assets. However, in the event that one or more Insureds claim Insured Losses, any increase in

premium in subsequent Bond Periods due to such claims, as determined by the broker, shall be allocated among the Parties that made such claims in proportion to their respective net assets.

4. Allocation of Coverage.

(a) Coverage Sufficient for Insured Losses. If an Insured Loss is no greater than the Gross Coverage, the Proceeds for such Insured Loss shall be allocated among the Insureds according to their respective Insured Losses.

(b) Allocation of Limited Coverage. If an Insured Loss exceeds the Gross Coverage, the Proceeds for such Insured Loss shall be allocated among the respective Insureds who sustained such losses in proportion to the respective amounts of the Insured Losses of such Insureds. Each Party shall receive a share of the recovery at least equal to the amount of recovery it would have received under a single insured bond with the minimum amount coverage required for such bond under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the regulations thereunder.

5. Notices. Each Insured agrees to promptly give the Insurer all notices required under the Bond.

6. Agent. The Agent is hereby appointed as the agent for the Insureds for the purposes of (a) seeking, negotiating and obtaining the Bond, (b) making, adjusting, receiving and enforcing payment of all claims under the bond and (c) otherwise dealing with the Insurer with respect to the Bond. All reasonable expenses incurred by the Agent in its capacity as agent for claims shall be shared by the Parties and their respective Insureds on whose behalf the expenses were incurred in proportion to their Insured Losses.

7. Notification of Agent. Each Party shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of any circumstance that may give rise to a claim by such Party or its Insureds under the Bond.

8. Modification and Termination. This Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time by mutual written agreement among the Parties. It shall terminate with respect to any Insured as of the date such Insured ceases to be an insured under the Bond; provided that such termination shall not affect the Insured’s rights and obligations hereunder with respect to any claims or Insured Losses relating to a period when the Insured was insured under the Bond.

9. Further Assurances. Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effect the purposes hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above.
