GENERAL AGREEMENTS

1. Except as provided in paragraph 2 below, this Bond shall apply to any additional office(s) established by the Insured during the Bond Period and to all Employees during the Bond Period, without the need to give notice thereof or pay additional premiums to the Underwriter for the Bond Period.
2. If during the Bond Period an Insured Investment Company shall merge or consolidate with an institution in which such Insured is the surviving entity, or purchase substantially all the assets or capital stock of another institution, or acquire or create a separate investment portfolio, and shall within sixty (60) days notify the Underwriter thereof, then this Bond shall automatically apply to the Property and Employees resulting from such merger, consolidation, acquisition or creation from the date thereof; provided, that the Underwriter may make such coverage contingent upon the payment of an additional premium.
B. WARRANTY
No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the Application or otherwise, shall be deemed to be an absolute warranty, but only a warranty that such statement is true to the best of the knowledge of the person responsible for such statement.
C. COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES
The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense of any legal proceeding brought against the Insured seeking recovery for any loss which, if established against the Insured, would constitute a loss 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

2. in the absence of such an admission or adjudication, an arbitrator or arbitrators acceptable to the Insured and the Underwriter concludes, after a review of an agreed statement of facts, that an Employee has committed a Dishonest or Fraudulent Act or Theft which caused the loss.
The Insured shall promptly give notice to the Underwriter of any such legal proceeding and upon request shall furnish the Underwriter 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 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 legal proceeding.
If the amount of the Insured’s liability or alleged liability in any such legal proceeding is greater than the amount which the Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond (other than pursuant to this General Agreement C), or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, the indemnity liability of the Underwriter under this General Agreement C is limited to the proportion of court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred and paid by the Insured or by the Underwriter that the amount which the Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond (other than pursuant to this General Agreement C) bears to the sum of such amount plus the amount which the Insured is not entitled to recover. Such indemnity shall be in addition to the Limit of Liability for the applicable Insuring Agreement.
D. INTERPRETATION
This Bond shall be interpreted with due regard to the purpose of fidelity bonding under Rule 17g-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (i.e., to protect innocent third parties from harm) and to the structure of the investment management industry (in which a loss of Property resulting from a cause described in any Insuring Agreement ordinarily gives rise to

direct compensatory damages resulting directly from a misappropriation, or measurable diminution in value, of Property.

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 of such bond against all loss and expense that it may sustain because of the issuance of such 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 of the 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 of this Bond, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability.
SECTION 8. SALVAGE
If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account of any 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. If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account of any loss in excess of the 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 LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY
Prior to its termination, this Bond shall continue in force up to the Limit of Liability 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 LIABILITY 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 of the 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 of the 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 of Liability of this Bond.
SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE 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 of this 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 terminate this Bond as to any Insured or all Insureds only by written notice to such Insured or Insureds and, if this Bond is terminated as to any Investment Company, to each such Investment Company terminated 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 termination specified in such notice.
The Insured may terminate 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 termination shall be not less than sixty (60) days from the date the Underwriter provides written notice of the termination to each such Investment Company terminated thereby and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.
This Bond will terminate 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 of the Insured, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the 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 terminated by the Insured or pro rata if this 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 of the 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 termination 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 termination and shall pay an additional premium therefor as the Underwriter may require.
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 of Liability, the Deductible Amount and the other terms of this 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 of the 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 of the amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by the Depository.
This Bond does not afford coverage in favor of any Depository or Exchange or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the Systems.
SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED
If more than one entity is named as the Insured:
A. the total liability of the 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 of Insured entities which sustain loss as a result of such Single Loss,
B. the Insured first named in Item 1 of the 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 of any 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 of the terms of the settlement of each such claim prior to the execution of such 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 of this 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 of its 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
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.
SECTION 18. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION
This Bond may only be modified by written Rider forming a part hereof over the signature of the 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Underwriter has caused this Bond to be executed on the Declarations Page.

In consideration of the premium charged for this Bond, it is hereby understood and agreed that notwithstanding Section 2.Q of this Bond, this Bond is amended by adding an additional Insuring Agreement J as follows:
J. COMPUTER SECURITY
Loss (including loss of Property) resulting directly from Computer Fraud; provided, that the Insured has adopted in writing and generally maintains and follows during the Bond Period all Computer Security Procedures. The isolated failure of the Insured to maintain and follow a particular Computer Security Procedure in a particular instance will not preclude coverage under this
Insuring Agreement, subject to the specific exclusions herein and in the Bond.
1. Definitions. The following terms used in this Insuring Agreement shall have the following meanings:
a. "Authorized User" means any person or entity designated by the Insured (through contract, assignment of User Identification, or otherwise) as authorized to use a Covered Computer System, or any part thereof. An individual who invests in an Insured Fund shall not be considered to be an Authorized User solely by virtue of being an investor.
b. "Computer Fraud" means the unauthorized entry of data into, or the deletion or destruction of data in, or change of data elements or programs within, a Covered Computer System which:
(1) is committed by any Unauthorized Third Party anywhere, alone or in collusion with other Unauthorized Third Parties; and
(2) is committed with the conscious manifest intent (a) to cause the Insured to sustain a loss, and (b) to obtain financial benefit for the perpetrator or any other person; and
(3) causes (x) Property to be transferred, paid or delivered; or (y) an account of the Insured, or of its customer, to be added, deleted, debited or credited; or (z) an unauthorized or fictitious account to be debited or credited.
c. "Computer Security Procedures" means procedures for prevention of unauthorized computer access and use and administration of computer access and use as provided in writing to the Underwriter.
d. "Covered Computer System" means any Computer System as to which the Insured has possession, custody and control.
e. "Unauthorized Third Party" means any person or entity that, at the time of the Computer Fraud, is not an Authorized User.
f. "User Identification" means any unique user name (i.e., a series of characters) that is assigned to a person or entity by the Insured.
2. Exclusions. It is further understood and agreed that this Insuring Agreement J shall not cover:
a. Any loss covered under Insuring Agreement A, "Fidelity," of this Bond; and
b. Any loss resulting directly or indirectly from Theft or misappropriation of confidential or proprietary information, material or data (including but not limited to trade secrets, computer programs or customer information); and
c. Any loss resulting from the intentional failure to adhere to one or more Computer Security Procedures; and
d. Any loss resulting from a Computer Fraud committed by or in collusion with:
(1) any Authorized User (whether a natural person or an entity); or
(2) in the case of any Authorized User which is an entity, (a) any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such Authorized User, or (b) any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Authorized User ("Related Entity"), or (c) any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such Related Entity; or
(3) in the case of any Authorized User who is a natural person, (a) any entity for which such Authorized User is a director, officer, partner, employee or agent ("Employer Entity"), or (b) any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such Employer Entity, or (c) any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Employer Entity ("Employer-Related Entity"), or (d) any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such Employer-Related Entity;
and
e. Any loss resulting from physical damage to or destruction of any Covered Computer System, or any part thereof, or any data, data elements or media associated therewith; and
f. Any loss resulting from Computer Fraud committed by means of wireless access to any Covered Computer System, or any part thereof, or any data, data elements or media associated therewith; and
g. Any loss not directly and proximately caused by Computer Fraud (including, without limitation, disruption of business and extra expense); and
h. Payments made to any person(s) who has threatened to deny or has denied authorized access to a Covered Computer System or otherwise has threatened to disrupt the business of the Insured.
For purposes of this Insuring Agreement, "Single Loss," as defined in Section 1.X of this Bond, shall also include all loss caused by Computer Fraud(s) committed by one person, or in which one person is implicated, whether or not that person is specifically identified. A series of losses involving unidentified individuals, but arising from the same method of operation, may be deemed by the
Underwriter to involve the same individual and in that event shall be treated as a Single Loss.
It is further understood and agreed that nothing in this Rider shall affect the exclusion set forth in Section 2.0 of this Bond.
Coverage under this Insuring Agreement shall terminate upon termination of this Bond. Coverage under this Insuring Agreement may also be terminated without terminating this Bond as an entirety:
(a) by written notice from the Underwriter not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination specified in such notice; or
(b) immediately by written notice from the Insured to the Underwriter.
Except as above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend any of the terms of this 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 (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 insurers.
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 90% 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 of the premium that is attributable to any coverage potentially available under the bond for “acts of terrorism” is one percent (1%).

FURTHER RESOLVED: That the form and amount of said bond applicable to each Fund, are hereby determined to be reasonable, due consideration having been given to the value of the aggregate assets of each Fund to which covered persons 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 in each Fund's portfolio; and
FURTHER RESOLVED: That (i) the premium (the "Pro Rata Premium") in the amount indicated for each Fund, under the column "Premium 12/01/2011 - 11/30/2012" in the Allocation Schedule, and (ii) the reserve

JOINT INSURED AGREEMENT – BLANKET BOND
Agreement made as of December 12, 2011 (except as otherwise indicated below) by and among the investment companies listed on Schedules A and B hereto (collectively, the "Funds"), together with certain other insured parties listed on Schedule C (the "Private Funds") and on Schedule D hereto (the "Managers"), which are described in part (b) of Rule 17g-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, ("Rule 17g-1") and which, together with the Funds, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Assureds";
WHEREAS, each of the Assureds is jointly insured against specified fidelity and other losses under an investment Company Blanket Bond currently issued in the aggregate amount of $130.0 million, by ICI Mutual Insurance Company (the "Bond");
WHEREAS, certain of the Funds, the Managers and other entities, were parties to a Joint Insured Agreement by and among them as of November 30, 2010; and
WHEREAS, since November 30, 2010, the Bond was renewed, and the listing of Funds insured by the Bond was changed;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth below, the Assureds agree as follows:
1. Except as stated in paragraph 3 of this Agreement, each Fund agrees to maintain fidelity coverage under the Bond in an amount (i) equal to that required under paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1, or (ii) for multi-series Funds, the sum of the coverage assigned to each series that is equal to that required under paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1. All Assureds agree to maintain aggregate coverage for all other losses insured against under the Bond in the amounts set forth in the Bond, unless otherwise agreed by the Assureds. The premium cost for the Bond (the "Bond Premium") will be shared as follows: (a) the Managers will, in the aggregate, share in the premium cost in an amount equal to the ratio of the amount of coverage assigned in the aggregate to the Managers (as determined from time to time) to the total amount of coverage under the Bond, and the Managers shall also pay 15% of the Bond Premium on behalf of its transfer agent division and subsidiaries named in Schedule C, and (b) each of the Funds will share in the balance of the Bond Premium in the ratio of the amount of its respective coverage as so determined from time to time pursuant to the procedure set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3 hereof.
2. In the event that any Assured determines that the amount of its coverage should be reduced, such reduction will be effected and a return of the reallocated premium made if and to the extent that one or more of the other participating Assureds requires or desires an increased amount of insurance coverage.
3. Any Fund may, pursuant to a resolution or policy of its Board, have a greater amount of fidelity insurance and have other insurance coverages in additional amounts provided by the Bond if the total coverage under the Bond (including any increase or adjustment) can include such insurance and the allocation of premium to such Fund for the remaining term of the Bond will be based on the ratio of its elected coverage to the total amount of coverage under the Bond.
4. In the event a loss is sustained by two or more of the Assureds that exceeds the Bond's limit of liability, the amount of such recovery will be prorated in the ratio of the insurance coverage of such Assureds under the Bond, provided that for fidelity losses under the Bond, such recovery for a Fund will be at least equal to the amount it would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required of that Fund by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1.
5. An investment company (a "New Fund") having an investment adviser or subadvisor that is, or is affiliated with, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. ("OFI") and either having the same Board of Directors, Board of Trustees, Board of Managing General Partners or Board of Managers as any of the Funds, or serving as an underlying investment for any of the Funds, may become a named insured under the Bond, provided that the Assureds agree to any increase in aggregate coverage under the Bond if necessary, and provided that the New Fund causes this Agreement to be signed on its behalf as of the date it agrees to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; such New Fund shall be deemed to be added to the appropriate Schedule, according to its Board. A party that is an affiliate, or an affiliate of an affiliate, of OFI (a "New Manager") may become a named insured under the Bond, provided that the New Manager causes this Agreement to be signed on its behalf as of the date it agrees to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; such New Manager shall be deemed to be added to Schedule D.
6. Each of the Assureds understands and agrees that the obligations of the Assureds under this Agreement are not binding upon any shareholder or Director of the Assureds personally, but bind only the Assureds and their respective property. Each of the Assureds represents that it has notice of the provisions of the Declarations of Trust of the Assureds that are organized as Massachusetts business trusts and the Agreements of Limited Partnership of the Assureds that are organized as Delaware limited partnerships, disclaiming shareholder, trustee and managing general partner liability for acts or obligations of such Assureds.
7. This Agreement supersedes the aforesaid Joint Insured Agreement dated November 30, 2010.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date and year above written.
