1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are "interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio, supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians, depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an investment vehicle.

The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees. The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.

(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received.

The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.

The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.

2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise.

5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser, the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security or other investment instrument.

This Contract shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In addition, the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all other Portfolios.

(hereinafter called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Securities Fund, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of Fidelity Advisor Aggressive Growth Fund (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").

WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment advisory services in connection therewith;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as follows:

1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

(a) Investment Advice: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information may include written and oral reports and analyses.

(b) Investment Management: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock, bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio, including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.

(c) Subsidiaries and Affiliates: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules thereunder.

2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor may deem to be desirable.

3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or to the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.

4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.

(a) Investment Advisory Fee: For services provided under subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.

(b) Investment Management Fee: For services provided under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate (including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor, multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or a portion of such excess reimbursements.

(c) Provision of Multiple Services: If the Sub-Advisor shall have provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period, the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.

5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore; (ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii) expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and (xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.

6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or otherwise.

7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder. The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.

8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

To the extent that waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or a portion of such excess reimbursements.

(c) Provision of Multiple Services: If the Sub-Advisor shall have provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period, the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.

FORM OF

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

between

FMR CO., INC. and

FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY

AGREEMENT made this _____ day of ___________, 200_, by and between FMR Co., Inc., a Massachusetts corporation with principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts (hereinafter called the ´´Sub-Adviser") and Fidelity Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts (hereinafter called the ´´Adviser").

WHEREAS the Adviser has entered into a Management Contract with Fidelity Securities Fund, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the ´´Fund"), on behalf of Fidelity Advisor Aggressive Growth Fund (hereinafter called the ´´Portfolio"), pursuant to which the Adviser is to act as investment manager and adviser to the Portfolio, and

WHEREAS the Sub-Adviser was formed for the purpose of providing investment management of equity and high income funds and advising generally with respect to equity and high income instruments.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser agree as follows:

1. (a) The Sub-Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the Adviser, direct the investments of all or such portion of the Portfolio's assets as the Adviser shall designate in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time (the ´´1940 Act"), and such other limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the Adviser or Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the Sub-Adviser performing services for the Portfolio relating to research, statistical and investment activities. The Sub-Adviser is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio or the Adviser, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

(b) The Sub-Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Fund and the Adviser as the Fund's Board of Trustees or the Adviser may request from time to time or as the Sub-Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Sub-Adviser shall make recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Portfolio policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees. The Sub-Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such other services as the Sub-Adviser shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Agreement and which are not otherwise furnished by the Adviser.

(c) The Sub-Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Adviser or Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the other accounts over which the Sub-Adviser, Adviser or their affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Sub-Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.

2. As compensation for the services to be furnished by the Sub-Adviser hereunder, the Adviser agrees to pay the Sub-Adviser a monthly fee equal to 50% of the management fee (including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated to pay the Adviser under the Portfolio's Management Contract with the Adviser in respect of that portion of the Portfolio's assets managed by the Sub-Adviser during such month. Such fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or fee waivers by the Adviser, if any, in effect from time to time.

3. It is understood that Trustees, officers, and shareholders of the Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise.

4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Adviser hereunder or by the Adviser under the Management Contract with the Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund's Trustees other than those who are ´´interested persons" of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser or the Adviser; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and qualification of the Fund and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser, of 50% of insurance premiums for fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii) expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and (xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.

5. The Services of the Sub-Adviser to the Adviser are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the Sub-Adviser being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the Sub-Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations with respect to rendering investment advice hereunder. The Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Adviser or the Fund.

6. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

7. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of this paragraph 7, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 200_, and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the Fund's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.

(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any rules or regulations adopted by, or interpretive releases of, the Commission.

(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 7, the terms of any continuance or modification of the Agreement must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to such Agreement or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

(d) Either the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or the Portfolio may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of Trustees or Directors, or by vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the termination of the Management Contract between the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

8. The Sub-Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Fund and agrees that any obligations of the Fund or the Portfolio arising in connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Adviser seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.

9. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF.

The terms ´´registered investment company," ´´vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities," ´´assignment," and ´´interested persons," when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

Exhibit e(10)

FORM OF
SELLING DEALER AGREEMENT

We at Fidelity Distributors Corporation invite you (______________________________) to distribute shares of the mutual funds, or the separate series or classes of the mutual funds, listed on Schedule A attached to this Agreement (the "Portfolios"). We may periodically change the list of Portfolios by giving you written notice of the change. We are the Portfolios' principal underwriter and, as agent for the Portfolios, we offer to sell Portfolio shares to you on the following terms:

1. Certain Defined Terms: As used in this Agreement, the term "Prospectus" means the applicable Portfolio's prospectus and related statement of additional information, whether in paper format or electronic format, included in the Portfolio's then currently effective registration statement (or post-effective amendment thereto), and any information that we or the Portfolio may issue to you as a supplement to such prospectus or statement of additional information (a "sticker"), all as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.

2. Purchases of Portfolio Shares for Sale to Customers: (a) In offering and selling Portfolio shares to your customers, you agree to act as dealer for your own account; you are not authorized to act as agent for us or for any Portfolio.

(b) You agree to offer and sell Portfolio shares to your customers only at the applicable public offering price in accordance with the Prospectus. If your customer qualifies for a reduced sales charge pursuant to a special purchase plan (for example, a quantity discount, letter of intent, or right of accumulation) as described in the Prospectus, you agree to offer and sell Portfolio shares to your customer at the applicable reduced sales charge. You agree to deliver or cause to be delivered to each customer, at or prior to the time of any purchase of shares, a copy of the then current prospectus (including any stickers thereto), unless such prospectus has already been delivered to the customer, and to each customer who so requests, a copy of the then current statement of additional information (including any stickers thereto).

(c) You agree to purchase Portfolio shares from us only to cover purchase orders that you have already received from your customers, or for your own investment. You also agree not to purchase any Portfolio shares from your customers at a price lower than the applicable redemption price, determined in the manner described in the Prospectus. You will not withhold placing customers' orders so as to profit yourself as a result of such withholding (for example, by a change in a Portfolio's net asset value from that used in determining the offering price to your customers).

(d) We will accept your purchase orders only at the public offering price applicable to each order, as determined in accordance with the Prospectus. We will not accept from you a conditional order for Portfolio shares. All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by us in our sole discretion. We may, without notice, suspend sales or withdraw the offering of Portfolio shares, or make a limited offering of Portfolio shares.

(e) The placing of orders with us will be governed by instructions that we will periodically issue to you. You must pay for Portfolio shares in New York or Boston clearing house funds or in federal funds in accordance with such instructions, and we must receive your payment on or before the settlement date established in accordance with Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"). If we do not receive your payment on or before such settlement date, we may, without notice, cancel the sale, or, at our option, sell the shares that you ordered back to the issuing Portfolio, and we may hold you responsible for any loss suffered by us or the issuing Portfolio as a result of your failure to make payment as required.

(f) You agree to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and with the rules and regulations of authorized regulatory agencies thereunder. You agree to offer and sell Portfolio shares only in states where you may legally offer and sell such Portfolio's shares. You will not offer shares of any Portfolio for sale unless such shares are registered for sale under the applicable state and federal laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(g) Certificates evidencing Portfolio shares are not available; any transaction in Portfolio shares will be effected and evidenced by book-entry on the records maintained by Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC"). A confirmation statement evidencing transactions in Portfolio shares will be transmitted to you.

(h) You may designate FIIOC to execute your customers' transactions in Portfolio shares in accordance with the terms of any account, program, plan, or service established or used by your customers, and to confirm each transaction to your customers on your behalf. At the time of the transaction, you guarantee the legal capacity of your customers and any co-owners of such shares so transacting in such shares.

3. Your Compensation: (a) Your concession, if any, on your sales of Portfolio shares will be as provided in the Prospectus or in the applicable schedule of concessions issued by us and in effect at the time of our sale to you. Upon written notice to you, we or any Portfolio may change or discontinue any schedule of concessions, or issue a new schedule.

(b) If a Portfolio has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (a "Plan"), we may make distribution payments or service payments to you under the Plan. If a Portfolio does not have a currently effective Plan, we or Fidelity Management & Research Company may make distribution payments or service payments to you from our own funds. Any distribution payments or service payments will be made in the amount and manner set forth in the Prospectus or in the applicable schedule of distribution payments or service payments issued by us and then in effect. Upon written notice to you, we or any Portfolio may change or discontinue any schedule of distribution payments or service payments, or issue a new schedule. A schedule of distribution payments or service payments will be in effect with respect to a Portfolio that has a Plan only so long as that Portfolio's Plan remains in effect.

(c) After the effective date of any change in or discontinuance of any schedule of concessions, distribution payments, or service payments, or the termination of a Plan, any concessions, distribution payments, or service payments will be allowable or payable to you only in accordance with such change, discontinuance, or termination. You agree that you will have no claim against us or any Portfolio by virtue of any such change, discontinuance, or termination. In the event of any overpayment by us of any concession, distribution payment, or service payment, you will remit such overpayment.

(d) If any Portfolio shares sold to you by us under the terms of this Agreement are redeemed by the issuing Portfolio or tendered for redemption by the customer within seven (7) business days after the date of our confirmation of your original purchase order for such shares, you agree (i) to refund promptly to us the full amount of any concession, distribution payment, or service payment allowed or paid to you on such shares, and (ii) if not yet allowed or paid to you, to forfeit the right to receive any concession, distribution payment, or service payment allowable or payable to you on such shares. We will notify you of any such redemption within ten (10) days after the date of the redemption.

4. Certain Types of Accounts: (a) You may instruct FIIOC to register purchased shares in your name and account as nominee for your customers. If you hold Portfolio shares as nominee for your customers, all Prospectuses, proxy statements, periodic reports, and other printed material will be sent to you, and all confirmations and other communications to shareholders will be transmitted to you. You will be responsible for forwarding such printed material, confirmations, and communications, or the information contained therein, to all customers for whose account you hold any Portfolio shares as nominee. However, we or FIIOC on behalf of itself or the Portfolios will be responsible for the costs associated with your forwarding such printed material, confirmations, and communications. You will be responsible for complying with all reporting and tax withholding requirements with respect to the customers for whose account you hold any Portfolio shares as nominee.

(b) With respect to accounts other than those accounts referred to in paragraph 4(a) above, you agree to provide us with all information (including certification of taxpayer identification numbers and back-up withholding instructions) necessary or appropriate for us to comply with legal and regulatory reporting requirements.

(c) Accounts opened or maintained pursuant to the NETWORKING system of the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC") will be governed by applicable NSCC rules and procedures and any agreement or other arrangement with us relating to NETWORKING.

(d) If you hold Portfolio shares in an omnibus account for two or more customers, you will be responsible for determining, in accordance with the Prospectus, whether, and the extent to which, a CDSC is applicable to a purchase of Portfolio shares from such a customer, and you agree to transmit immediately to us any CDSC to which such purchase was subject. You hereby represent that if you hold Portfolio shares subject to a CDSC, you have the capability to track and account for such charge, and we reserve the right, at our discretion, to verify that capability by inspecting your tracking and accounting system or otherwise.

5. Status as Registered Broker/Dealer: (a) Each party to this Agreement represents to the other party that (i) it is registered as a broker/dealer under the 1934 Act, (ii) it is qualified to act as a broker/dealer in the states where it transacts business, and (iii) it is a member in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). Each party agrees to maintain its broker/dealer registration and qualifications and its NASD membership in good standing throughout the term of this Agreement. Each party agrees to abide by all of the NASD's rules and regulations, including the NASD's Conduct Rules -- in particular, Section 2830 of such Rules, which section is deemed a part of and is incorporated by reference in this Agreement. This Agreement will terminate automatically without notice in the event that either party's NASD membership is terminated.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall cause you to be our partner, employee, or agent, or give you any authority to act for us or for any Portfolio. Neither we nor any Portfolio shall be liable for any of your acts or obligations as a dealer under this Agreement.

6. Information Relating to the Portfolios: (a) No person is authorized to make any representations concerning shares of a Portfolio other than those contained in the Portfolio's Prospectus. In buying Portfolio shares from us under this Agreement, you will rely only on the representations contained in the Prospectus. Upon your request, we will furnish you with a reasonable number of copies of the Portfolios' current prospectuses or statements of additional information or both (including any stickers thereto).

(b) Any printed or electronic information that we furnish you (other than the Portfolios' Prospectuses and periodic reports) is our sole responsibility and not the responsibility of the respective Portfolios. You agree that the Portfolios will have no liability or responsibility to you with respect to any such printed or electronic information. We or the respective Portfolio will bear the expense of qualifying its shares under the state securities laws.

(c) You may not use any sales literature or advertising material (including material disseminated through radio, television, or other electronic media) concerning Portfolio shares, other than the printed or electronic information referred to in paragraph 6(b) above, in connection with the offer or sale of Portfolio shares without obtaining our prior written approval. You may not distribute or make available to investors any information that we furnish you marked "FOR DEALER USE ONLY" or that otherwise indicates that it is confidential or not intended to be distributed to investors.

7. Indemnification: (a) We will indemnify and hold you harmless from any claim, demand, loss, expense, or cause of action resulting from the misconduct or negligence, as measured by industry standards, of us, our agents and employees, in carrying out our obligations under this Agreement. Such indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) You will indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, expense, or cause of action resulting from the misconduct or negligence, as measured by industry standards, of you, your agents and employees, in carrying out your obligations under this Agreement. Such indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement.

8. Customer Lists: We hereby agree that we shall not use any list of your customers which may be obtained in connection with this Agreement for the purpose of solicitation of any product or service without your express written consent. However, nothing in this paragraph or otherwise shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict us or our affiliates in any way from solicitations of any product or service directed at, without limitation, the general public, any segment thereof, or any specific individual, provided such solicitation is not based upon such list.

9. Duration of Agreement: This Agreement, with respect to any Plan, will continue in effect for one year from its effective date, and thereafter will continue automatically for successive annual periods; provided, however, that such continuance is subject to termination at any time without penalty if a majority of a Portfolio's Trustees who are not interested persons of the Portfolio (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")), or a majority of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio, vote to terminate or not to continue the Plan. This Agreement, other than with respect to a Plan, will continue in effect from year to year after its effective date, unless terminated as provided herein.

10. Amendment and Termination of Agreement: (a) We may amend any provision of this Agreement by giving you written notice of the amendment. Either party to this Agreement may terminate the Agreement without cause by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days' written notice of its intention to terminate. This Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).

(b) In the event that (i) an application for a protective decree under the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 is filed against you; (ii) you file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition seeking similar relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, or a proceeding is commenced against you seeking such relief; or (iii) you are found by the SEC, the NASD, or any other federal or state regulatory agency or authority to have violated any applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation arising out of your activities as a broker/dealer or in connection with this Agreement, this Agreement will terminate effective immediately upon our giving notice of termination to you. You agree to notify us promptly and to immediately suspend sales of Portfolio shares in the event of any such filing or violation, or in the event that you cease to be a member in good standing of the NASD.

(c) Your or our failure to terminate this Agreement for a particular cause will not constitute a waiver of the right to terminate this Agreement at a later date for the same or another cause. The termination of this Agreement with respect to any one Portfolio will not cause its termination with respect to any other Portfolio.

11. Arbitration: In the event of a dispute, such dispute will be settled by arbitration before arbitrators sitting in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the NASD's Code of Arbitration Procedure in effect at the time of the dispute. The arbitrators will act by majority decision and their award may allocate attorneys' fees and arbitration costs between us.

FORM OF
SELLING DEALER AGREEMENT

(for Bank-Related Transactions)

We at Fidelity Distributors Corporation invite you to distribute shares of the mutual funds, or the separate series or classes of the mutual funds, listed on Schedules A and B attached to this Agreement (the "Portfolios"). We may periodically change the list of Portfolios by giving you written notice of the change. We are the Portfolios' principal underwriter and, as agent for the Portfolios, we offer to sell Portfolio shares to you on the following terms:

1. Certain Defined Terms: (a) You (_____________________________________) are registered as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and have executed a written agreement with a bank or bank affiliate to provide brokerage services to that bank, bank affiliate and/or their customers. As used in this Agreement, the term "Bank" means a bank as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the 1934 Act, or an affiliate of such a bank, with which you have entered into a written agreement to provide brokerage services; and the term "Bank Client" means a customer of such a Bank.

(b) As used in this Agreement, the term "Prospectus" means the applicable Portfolio's prospectus and related statement of additional information, whether in paper format or electronic format, included in the Portfolio's then currently effective registration statement (or post-effective amendment thereto), and any information that we or the Portfolio may issue to you as a supplement to such prospectus or statement of additional information (a "sticker"), all as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.

(e) The placing of orders with us will be governed by instructions that we will periodically issue to you. You must pay for Portfolio shares in New York or Boston clearing house funds or in federal funds in accordance with such instructions, and we must receive your payment on or before the settlement date established in accordance with Rule 15c6-1 under the 1934 Act. If we do not receive your payment on or before such settlement date, we may, without notice, cancel the sale, or, at our option, sell the shares that you ordered back to the issuing Portfolio, and we may hold you responsible for any loss suffered by us or the issuing Portfolio as a result of your failure to make payment as required.

(h) You may designate FIIOC to execute your customers' transactions in Portfolio shares in accordance with the terms of any account, program, plan, or service established or used by your customers, and to confirm each transaction to your customers on your behalf on a fully disclosed basis. At the time of the transaction, you guarantee the legal capacity of your customers and any co-owners of such shares so transacting in such shares.

(c) Concessions, distribution payments, and service payments apply only with respect to (i) shares of the "Fidelity Funds" (as designated on Schedule A attached to this Agreement) purchased or maintained for the account of Bank Clients, and (ii) shares of the "Fidelity Advisor Funds" (as designated on Schedule B attached to this Agreement). Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, neither we nor any Portfolio will provide to you, nor may you retain, concessions on your sales of shares of, or distribution payments or service payments with respect to assets of, the Fidelity Funds attributable to you or any of your clients, other than Bank Clients. When you place an order in shares of the Fidelity Funds with us, you will identify the Bank on behalf of whose Clients you are placing the order; and you will identify as a non-Bank Client Order, any order in shares of the Fidelity Funds placed for the account of a non-Bank Client.

(d) After the effective date of any change in or discontinuance of any schedule of concessions, distribution payments, or service payments, or the termination of a Plan, any concessions, distribution payments, or service payments will be allowable or payable to you only in accordance with such change, discontinuance, or termination. You agree that you will have no claim against us or any Portfolio by virtue of any such change, discontinuance, or termination. In the event of any overpayment by us of any concession, distribution payment, or service payment, you will remit such overpayment.

(e) If any Portfolio shares sold to you by us under the terms of this Agreement are redeemed by the issuing Portfolio or tendered for redemption by the customer within seven (7) business days after the date of our confirmation of your original purchase order for such shares, you agree (i) to refund promptly to us the full amount of any concession, distribution payment, or service payment allowed or paid to you on such shares, and (ii) if not yet allowed or paid to you, to forfeit the right to receive any concession, distribution payment, or service payment allowable or payable to you on such shares. We will notify you of any such redemption within ten (10) days after the date of the redemption.

12. Notices: All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing and delivered by personal delivery, by postage prepaid mail, or by facsimile machine or a similar means of same day delivery (with a confirming copy by mail). All notices to us shall be given or sent to us at our offices located at 82 Devonshire Street, Mail Zone L12A, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, Attn: Bank Wholesale Market. All notices to you shall be given or sent to you at the address specified by you below.

Exhibit (e)(8)

FORM OF

GENERAL DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

between

Fidelity Securities Fund

and

FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS CORPORATION

Agreement made this ___ day of __ , 20 , between Fidelity Securities Fund, a Massachusetts business trust having its principal place of business in Boston, Massachusetts and which may issue one or more series of beneficial interest ("Issuer"), with respect to shares of Fidelity Advisor Aggressive Growth Fund, a series of the Issuer, and Fidelity Distributors Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation having its principal place of business in Boston, Massachusetts ("Distributors").

In consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1. Sale of Shares - The Issuer grants to Distributors the right to sell shares on behalf of the Issuer during the term of this Agreement and subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), and of the laws governing the sale of securities in the various states ("Blue Sky Laws") under the following terms and conditions: Distributors (i) shall have the right to sell, as agent on behalf of the Issuer, shares authorized for issue and registered under the 1933 Act, and (ii) may sell shares under offers of exchange, if available, between and among the funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") or any of its affiliates.

2. Sale of Shares by the Issuer - The rights granted to Distributors shall be nonexclusive in that the Issuer reserves the right to sell its shares to investors on applications received and accepted by the Issuer. Further, the Issuer reserves the right to issue shares in connection with the merger or consolidation, or acquisition by the Issuer through purchase or otherwise, with any other investment company, trust, or personal holding company.

3. Shares Covered by this Agreement - This Agreement shall apply to unissued shares of the Issuer, shares of the Issuer held in its treasury in the event that in the discretion of the Issuer treasury shares shall be sold, and shares of the Issuer repurchased for resale.

4. Public Offering Price - Except as otherwise noted in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information, all shares sold to investors by Distributors or the Issuer will be sold at the public offering price. The public offering price for all accepted subscriptions will be the net asset value per share, as determined in the manner described in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information, plus a sales charge (if any) described in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information. The Issuer shall in all cases receive the net asset value per share on all sales. If a sales charge is in effect, Distributors shall have the right subject to such rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as may then be in effect pursuant to Section 22 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to pay a portion of the sales charge to dealers who have sold shares of the Issuer. If a fee in connection with shareholder redemptions is in effect, the Issuer shall collect the fee on behalf of Distributors and, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Issuer and Distributors, Distributors shall be entitled to receive all of such fees.

5. Suspension of Sales - If and whenever the determination of net asset value is suspended and until such suspension is terminated, no further orders for shares shall be processed by Distributors except such unconditional orders as may have been placed with Distributors before it had knowledge of the suspension. In addition, the Issuer reserves the right to suspend sales and Distributors' authority to process orders for shares on behalf of the Issuer if, in the judgment of the Issuer, it is in the best interests of the Issuer to do so. Suspension will continue for such period as may be determined by the Issuer.

6. Solicitation of Sales - In consideration of these rights granted to Distributors, Distributors agrees to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the Issuer. This shall not prevent Distributors from entering into like arrangements (including arrangements involving the payment of underwriting commissions) with other issuers. This does not obligate Distributors to register as a broker or dealer under the Blue Sky Laws of any jurisdiction in which it is not now registered or to maintain its registration in any jurisdiction in which it is now registered. If a sales charge is in effect, Distributors shall have the right to enter into sales agreements with dealers of its choice for the sale of shares of the Issuer to the public at the public offering price only and fix in such agreements the portion of the sales charge which may be retained by dealers, provided that the Issuer shall approve the form of the dealer agreement and the dealer discounts set forth therein and shall evidence such approval by filing said form of dealer agreement and amendments thereto as an exhibit to its currently effective Registration Statement under the 1933 Act.

7. Authorized Representations - Distributors is not authorized by the Issuer to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained in the appropriate registration statements or Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act (as these registration statements, Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information may be amended from time to time), or contained in shareholder reports or other material that may be prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer for Distributors' use. This shall not be construed to prevent Distributors from preparing and distributing sales literature or other material as it may deem appropriate.

8. Portfolio Securities - Portfolio securities of the Issuer may be bought or sold by or through Distributors, and Distributors may participate directly or indirectly in brokerage commissions or "spreads" for transactions in portfolio securities of the Issuer.

9. Registration of Shares - The Issuer agrees that it will take all action necessary to register shares under the 1933 Act (subject to the necessary approval of its shareholders) so that there will be available for sale the number of shares Distributors may reasonably be expected to sell. The Issuer shall make available to Distributors such number of copies of its currently effective Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information as Distributors may reasonably request. The Issuer shall furnish to Distributors copies of all information, financial statements and other papers which Distributors may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of shares of the Issuer.

10. Expenses - The Issuer shall pay all fees and expenses (a) in connection with the preparation, setting in type and filing of any registration statement, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information under the 1933 Act and amendments for the issue of its shares, (b) in connection with the registration and qualification of shares for sale in the various states in which the Board of Trustees of the Issuer shall determine it advisable to qualify such shares for sale (including registering the Issuer as a broker or dealer or any officer of the Issuer as agent or salesman in any state), (c) of preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing any report or other communication to shareholders of the Issuer in their capacity as such, and (d) of preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information and any supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders.

As provided in the Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the Issuer, it is recognized by the Issuer that FMR may make payment to Distributors with respect to any expenses incurred in the distribution of shares of the Issuer, such payments payable from the past profits or other resources of FMR including management fees paid to it by the Issuer.

11. Indemnification - The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Distributors and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls Distributors within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Issuer (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Issuer does not agree to indemnify Distributors or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of Distributors. In no case (i) is the indemnity of the Issuer in favor of Distributors or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect Distributors or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which Distributors or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is the Issuer to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against Distributors or any person indemnified unless Distributors or person, as the case may be, shall have notified the Issuer in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon Distributors or any such person (or after Distributors or such person shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the Issuer of any claim shall not relieve the Issuer from any liability which it may have to Distributors or any person against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. The Issuer shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims, but if the Issuer elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to Distributors or person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit. In the event the Issuer elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, Distributors, officers or directors or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Issuer does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse Distributors, officers or directors or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Issuer agrees to notify Distributors promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or trustees in connection with the issuance or sale of any of the shares.

Distributors also covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and each of its Board members and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any loss, liability, damages, claim or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, damages, claim or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the 1933 Act or any other statute or common law, alleging any wrongful act of Distributors or any of its employees or alleging that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Issuer (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading, insofar as the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of Distributors. In no case (i) is the indemnity of Distributors in favor of the Issuer or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Issuer or any person against any liability to which the Issuer or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is Distributors to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against the Issuer or any person indemnified unless the Issuer or person, as the case may be, shall have notified Distributors in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Issuer or any such person (or after the Issuer or such person shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify Distributors of any claim shall not relieve Distributors from any liability which it may have to the Issuer or any person against whom the action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. In the case of any notice to Distributors, it shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce the claim, but if Distributors elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Issuer, to its officers and Board and to any controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit. In the event that Distributors elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Issuer or controlling persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expense of any additional counsel retained by them. If Distributors does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Issuer, officers and Board or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. Distributors agrees to notify the Issuer promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the issue and sale of any of the shares.

12. Effective Date - This agreement shall be effective upon its execution, and unless terminated as provided, shall continue in force until March 31, 200 and thereafter from year to year, provided continuance is approved annually by the vote of a majority of the Board members of the Issuer, and by the vote of those Board members of the Issuer who are not "interested persons" of the Issuer and, if a plan under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 is in effect, by the vote of those Board members of the Issuer who are not "interested persons" of the Issuer and who are not parties to the Distribution and Service Plan or this Agreement and have no financial interest in the operation of the Distribution and Service Plan or in any agreements related to the Distribution and Service Plan, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. As used in this paragraph, the terms "assignment" and "interested persons" shall have the respective meanings specified in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as now in effect or as hereafter amended. In addition to termination by failure to approve continuance or by assignment, this Agreement may at any time be terminated by either party upon not less than sixty days' prior written notice to the other party.

13. Notice - Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other shall be deemed sufficient if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed by the party giving notice to the other party at the last address furnished by the other party to the party giving notice: if to the Issuer, at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts, and if to Distributors, at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts.

14. Limitation of Liability - Distributors is expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Issuer and agrees that the obligations assumed by the Issuer under this contract shall be limited in all cases to the Issuer and its assets. Distributors shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Issuer. Nor shall Distributors seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee of the Issuer. Distributors understands that the rights and obligations of each series of shares of the Issuer under the Issuer's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all other series.

15. This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has executed this instrument in its name and behalf, and its seal affixed, by one of its officers duly authorized, and Distributors has executed this instrument in its name and behalf by one of its officers duly authorized, as of the day and year first above written.

FORM OF
BANK AGENCY AGREEMENT

We at Fidelity Distributors Corporation offer to make available to your customers shares of the mutual funds, or the separate series or classes of the mutual funds, listed on Schedules A and B attached to this Agreement (the "Portfolios"). We may periodically change the list of Portfolios by giving you written notice of the change. We are the Portfolios' principal underwriter and act as agent for the Portfolios. You (____________________________________) are a division or affiliate of a bank (____________________________________) and desire to make Portfolio shares available to your customers on the following terms:

2. Making Portfolio Shares Available to Your Customers: (a) In all transactions covered by this Agreement: (i) you will act as agent for your customers; in no transaction are you authorized to act as agent for us or for any Portfolio; (ii) you will initiate transactions only upon your customers' orders; (iii) we will execute transactions only upon receiving instructions from you acting as agent for your customers; and (iv) each transaction will be for your customer's account and not for your own account. Each transaction will be without recourse to you, provided that you act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) You agree to make Portfolio shares available to your customers only at the applicable public offering price in accordance with the Prospectus. If your customer qualifies for a reduced sales charge pursuant to a special purchase plan (for example, a quantity discount, letter of intent, or right of accumulation) as described in the Prospectus, you agree to make Portfolio shares available to your customer at the applicable reduced sales charge. You agree to deliver or cause to be delivered to each customer, at or prior to the time of any purchase of shares, a copy of the then current prospectus (including any stickers thereto), unless such prospectus has already been delivered to the customer, and to each customer who so requests, a copy of the then current statement of additional information (including any stickers thereto).

(c) You agree to order Portfolio shares from us only to cover purchase orders that you have already received from your customers, or for your own investment. You will not withhold placing customers' orders so as to profit yourself as a result of such withholding (for example, by a change in a Portfolio's net asset value from that used in determining the offering price to your customers).

(f) You agree to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and with the rules and regulations of authorized regulatory agencies thereunder. You agree to make Portfolio shares available to your customers only in states where you may legally make such Portfolio's shares available. You will not make available shares of any Portfolio unless such shares are registered under the applicable state and federal laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(h) You may designate FIIOC to execute your customers' transactions in Portfolio shares in accordance with the terms of any account, program, plan, or service established or used by your customers, and to confirm each transaction to your customers on your behalf on a fully disclosed basis. At the time of the transaction, you guarantee the legal capacity of your customers and any co-owners of such shares so transacting in such shares.

3. Your Compensation: (a) Your fee, if any, for acting as agent with respect to sales of Portfolio shares will be as provided in the Prospectus or in the applicable schedule of agency fees issued by us and in effect at the time of the sale. Upon written notice to you, we or any Portfolio may change or discontinue any schedule of agency fees, or issue a new schedule.

(c) After the effective date of any change in or discontinuance of any schedule of agency fees, distribution payments, or service payments, or the termination of a Plan, any agency fees, distribution payments, or service payments will be allowable or payable to you only in accordance with such change, discontinuance, or termination. You agree that you will have no claim against us or any Portfolio by virtue of any such change, discontinuance, or termination. In the event of any overpayment by us of any agency fee, distribution payment, or service payment, you will remit such overpayment.

(d) If, within seven (7) business days after our confirmation of the original purchase order for shares of a Portfolio, such shares are redeemed by the issuing Portfolio or tendered for redemption by the customer, you agree (i) to refund promptly to us the full amount of any agency fee, distribution payment, or service payment paid to you on such shares, and (ii) if not yet paid to you, to forfeit the right to receive any agency fee, distribution payment, or service payment payable to you on such shares. We will notify you of any such redemption within ten (10) days after the date of the redemption.

5. Status as Registered Broker/Dealer or "Bank": (a) Each party to this Agreement represents to the other party that it is either (i) a registered broker/dealer under the 1934 Act, or (ii) a "bank" as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the 1934 Act.

(b) If a party is a registered broker/dealer, such party represents that it is qualified to act as a broker/dealer in the states where it transacts business, and it is a member in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). It agrees to maintain its broker/dealer registration and qualifications and its NASD membership in good standing throughout the term of this Agreement. It agrees to abide by all of the NASD's rules and regulations, including the NASD's Conduct Rules -- in particular, Section 2830 of such Rules, which section is deemed a part of and is incorporated by reference in this Agreement. This Agreement will terminate automatically without notice in the event that a party's NASD membership is terminated.

(c) If you are a "bank", you represent that you are duly authorized to engage in the transactions to be performed under this Agreement, and you agree to comply with all applicable federal and state laws, including the rules and regulations of all applicable federal and state bank regulatory agencies and authorities. This Agreement will terminate automatically without notice in the event that you cease to be a "bank" as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the 1934 Act.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall cause you to be our partner, employee, or agent, or give you any authority to act for us or for any Portfolio. Neither we nor any Portfolio shall be liable for any of your acts or obligations as a dealer under this Agreement.

6. Information Relating to the Portfolios: (a) No person is authorized to make any representations concerning shares of a Portfolio other than those contained in the Portfolio's Prospectus. In ordering Portfolio shares from us under this Agreement, you will rely only on the representations contained in the Prospectus. Upon your request, we will furnish you with a reasonable number of copies of the Portfolios' current prospectuses or statements of additional information or both (including any stickers thereto).

(c) You may not use any sales literature or advertising material (including material disseminated through radio, television, or other electronic media) concerning Portfolio shares, other than the printed or electronic information referred to in paragraph 6(b) above, in connection with making Portfolio shares available to your customers without obtaining our prior written approval. You may not distribute or make available to investors any information that we furnish you marked "FOR DEALER USE ONLY" or that otherwise indicates that it is confidential or not intended to be distributed to investors.

(b) In the event that (i) an application for a protective decree under the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 is file against you; (ii) you file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition seeking similar relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, or a proceeding is commenced against you seeking such relief; or (iii) you are found by the SEC, the NASD, or any other federal or state regulatory agency or authority to have violated any applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation arising out of your activities as a broker/dealer or in connection with this Agreement, this Agreement will terminate effective immediately upon our giving notice of termination to you. You agree to notify us promptly and to immediately suspend making Portfolio shares available to your customers in the event of any such filing or violation, or in the event that you cease to be a member in good standing of the NASD or you cease to be a "bank" as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the 1934 Act.

12. Notices: All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing and delivered by personal delivery, by postage prepaid mail, or by facsimile machine or a similar means of same day delivery (with a confirming copy by mail).

Attn: Bob Dame

Re: Addendum to Custodian Agreement, dated as of [___________] between State Street Bank and Trust Company and each of the Investment Companies listed on Appendix "A" attached thereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement shall serve as an addendum to the Custodian Agreement (the "Custodian Agreement"), effective as of [_______________], between State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Custodian") and each of the Investment Companies listed on Appendix "A" attached thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), on behalf of each of their respective series portfolios listed on such Appendix "A" (each a "Portfolio" and collectively, the "Portfolios"). This Addendum shall also apply to any future Fund or Portfolio added to Appendix A in accordance with the terms of the Custodian Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Custodian Agreement.

Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 16, 1996, each Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its total net assets in shares of certain other open-end mutual funds (the "Central Funds") managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") or its affiliates or successors. The Funds, on behalf of each of their respective Portfolios, and the Custodian hereby agree that the Custodian shall maintain custody of the Portfolios' investments in Central Fund shares in accordance with the following provisions:

1. Manner of Holding Central Fund Shares. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Custodian Agreement, the Custodian is hereby authorized to maintain the shares of the Central Funds owned by the Portfolios in book entry form directly with the transfer agent or a designated sub-transfer agent of each such Central Fund (a "Central Fund Transfer Agent"), subject to and in accordance with the following provisions:

Segregation may be accomplished by physical segregation with respect to certificated securities held by the Repo Custodian and, in addition, by appropriate identification on the books and records of Repo Custodian in the case of all other Securities, cash and Cash Collateral.

Acceptance of a "due bill", "trust receipt" or similar receipt or notification of segregation issued by a third party with respect to Securities held by such third party shall not constitute good delivery of Securities to Repo Custodian for purposes of this Agreement or the Master Agreement and shall expressly violate the terms of this Agreement and the Master Agreement. The Funds shall identify by notice to Repo Custodian and Seller those agencies or systems which have been approved by the Funds for use under this Agreement and the Master Agreement. The Funds hereby notify Repo Custodian and Seller that the following agencies and systems have been approved by the Funds for use under this Agreement and the Master Agreement, until such time as Repo Custodian and Seller shall have been notified by the Funds to the contrary: (i) Participants Trust Company; (ii) The Depository Trust Company; and (iii) any book-entry system as provided in (A) Subpart O of Treasury Circular No. 300, 31 CFR 306.115, (B) Subpart B of Treasury Circular Public Debt Series No. 27-76, 31 CFR 350.2, or (C) the book-entry regulations of federal agencies substantially in the form of 31 CFR 306.115.

4. Repurchase Transactions.

(a) Repo Custodian shall make all credits and debits to the Transaction Account and effect the transfer of Securities to or from the Participating Funds upon proper instructions received from the Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds, and shall make all credits and debits to the Seller Account and effect the transfer of Securities to or from the Seller upon proper instructions received from Seller. In the event that Repo Custodian receives conflicting proper instructions from Seller and the Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds, Repo Custodian shall follow the Participating Funds' or the Custodian's proper instructions. The Participating Funds shall give Repo Custodian only such instructions as shall be permitted by the Master Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds, may from time to time instruct Repo Custodian to transfer cash from the Transaction Account to Custodian.

(b) (i) Whenever on any Banking Day one or more Funds and Seller agree to enter into a repurchase transaction, Seller and the Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds, will give Repo Custodian proper instructions by telephone or otherwise on the Sale Date, specifying the Transaction Category, Repurchase Date, Sale Price, Repurchase Price or the applicable Pricing Rate and the Margin Percentage for each such repurchase transaction.

(ii) In the case of repurchase transactions in which the Repurchase Date is the Banking Day next following the Sale Date (x) the Participating Funds may increase or decrease the Sale Price for any such repurchase transaction by no more than 10% of the initial Sale Price by causing to be delivered further proper instructions by telephone or otherwise to Repo Custodian prior to the close of business on the Sale Date and (y) Seller and the Participating Funds may by mutual consent agree to increase or decrease the Sale Price by more than 10% of the initial Sale Price by causing to be provided further proper instructions to Repo Custodian by the close of business on the Sale Date. In any event, Repo Custodian shall not be responsible for determining whether any such increase or decrease of the Sale Price exceeds the 10% limitation.

(c) Seller will take such actions as are necessary to ensure that on the Sale Date the aggregate Market Value of all Securities held by Repo Custodian for Seller and cash in the Seller Account equals or exceeds the Margin Percentage of the Sale Price. Seller shall give Repo Custodian proper instructions specifying with respect to each of the Securities which is to be the subject of a repurchase transaction (a) the name of the issuer and the title of the Securities, and (b) the Market Value of such Securities. Such instructions shall constitute Seller's instructions to Repo Custodian to transfer the Securities to the Participating Funds and/or Cash Collateral from the Seller Account to the Transaction Account.

(d) Prior to the close of business on the Sale Date, the Participating Funds shall transfer to, or maintain on deposit with, Repo Custodian in the Transaction Account immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Sale Price with respect to a particular repurchase transaction.

(e) Prior to the close of business on the Sale Date, Repo Custodian shall transfer Securities from Seller to the Participating Funds and/or cash held in the Seller Account to the Transaction Account and shall transfer to the Seller Account immediately available funds from the Transaction Account in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Repo Custodian shall determine that all securities to be transferred by Seller to the Participating Funds are Eligible Securities. Any securities which are not Eligible Securities for a particular repurchase transaction hereunder shall not be included in the calculations set forth below and shall not be transferred to the Participating Funds.

(ii) Repo Custodian shall then calculate the aggregate Market Value of the Securities and cash, if any, to be so transferred.

(iii) Repo Custodian shall notify Seller in the event that the aggregate Market Value of Securities and cash, if any, applicable to the repurchase transaction is less than the Margin Percentage of the Sale Price and Seller shall transfer, by the close of business on the Sale Date, to Repo Custodian additional Securities and/or cash in the amount of such deficiency. If Seller does not, by the close of business on the Sale Date, transfer additional Securities and/or cash, the Market Value of which equals or exceeds such deficiency, Repo Custodian may, at its option, without notice to Seller, advance the amount of such deficiency to Seller in order to effectuate the repurchase transaction. It is expressly agreed that Repo Custodian is not obligated to make an advance to Seller to enable it to complete any repurchase transaction.

(iv) Subject to the provisions of Subparagraph (v) below, Repo Custodian shall cause the Securities applicable to the repurchase transaction received from Seller to be transferred to the Participating Funds and shall cause any cash received from Seller to be transferred to the Transaction Account, against transfer of the Sale Price from the Transaction Account to the Seller Account, such transfers of Securities and/or cash and funds to occur simultaneously on a delivery versus payment basis.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if, for any repurchase transaction, the amount of immediately available funds in the Transaction Account is less than the agreed upon Sale Price in connection with the repurchase transaction immediately prior to effectuating such repurchase transaction, or if the aggregate Market Value of the Securities and cash, if any, applicable to such repurchase transaction is less than the Sale Price multiplied by the Margin Percentage immediately prior to effectuating such repurchase transaction, Repo Custodian shall effect the repurchase transaction to the best of its ability by transferring Securities from Seller to the Participating Funds and/or cash from the Seller Account to the Transaction Account with an aggregate Market Value equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of immediately available funds in the Transaction Account multiplied by the Margin Percentage and (y) the aggregate Market Value of the Securities available for transfer from Seller to the Participating Funds and cash, if any, in the Seller Account, against the transfer of immediately available funds from the Transaction Account to the Seller Account in an amount equal to the aggregate Market Value of the Securities and/or cash to be transferred divided by the Margin Percentage; provided, however, that in either such event Repo Custodian shall have the right not to transfer to the Participating Funds such Securities and not to transfer such cash, if any, to the Transaction Account and not to transfer from the designated Transaction Account such funds as Repo Custodian determines, in its sole discretion, will not be the subject of a repurchase transaction. The actions of Repo Custodian pursuant to this subparagraph (e)(v) shall not affect the obligations and liabilities of the parties to each other pursuant to the Master Agreement with regard to such repurchase transaction.

(f) In the event that on a Banking Day Seller desires to substitute Securities applicable to such repurchase transaction with Eligible Securities and/or Cash Collateral (to the extent provided in the Master Agreement), Repo Custodian shall perform such substitution in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Repo Custodian shall determine that all securities to be transferred to the Participating Funds are Eligible Securities. Any securities which are not eligible for repurchase transactions hereunder shall not be included in the calculations set forth below and shall not be transferred to the Participating Funds.

(ii) Repo Custodian shall then calculate the aggregate Market Value of the Eligible Securities and/or Cash Collateral to be transferred. Repo Custodian shall not make any substitution if, at the time of substitution, the aggregate Market Value of all Securities and any Cash Collateral applicable to such repurchase transaction immediately after such substitution would be less than the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were the date of substitution).

(iii) Repo Custodian shall then deliver to the Seller, subject to the qualifications set forth above, the Securities to be substituted against the delivery by Repo Custodian of substitute Eligible Securities to the Participating Funds and/or the crediting of the Transaction Account with Cash Collateral.

(iv) In the event Seller has caused Repo Custodian to credit the Transaction Account with Cash Collateral in lieu of substitute Eligible Securities, and has failed to deliver Eligible Securities against such Cash Collateral not later than the close of business on such Banking Day in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement, Repo Custodian shall promptly, but in no event later than 10:00 a.m. the following Banking Day, notify the Participating Funds and Seller of such failure.

(g) With respect to each repurchase transaction, at 10:00 a.m. New York time, or at such other time as specified in proper instructions of the Participating Funds (or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds) on the Repurchase Date, Repo Custodian shall debit the Seller Account and credit the Transaction Account in the amount of the Repurchase Price and shall transfer Securities from the Participating Funds to the Seller and Cash Collateral, if any, from the Transaction Account to the Seller Account in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) If the amount of available funds in the Seller Account equals or exceeds the Repurchase Price, Repo Custodian shall debit the Seller Account and credit the Transaction Account in the amount of the Repurchase Price and shall transfer all Securities applicable to such repurchase transaction from the Participating Funds to the Seller and debit the Transaction Account and credit the Seller Account in the amount of any Cash Collateral applicable to such repurchase transaction.

(ii) If the amount of available funds in the Seller Account is less than the Repurchase Price, then Repo Custodian shall notify the Seller of the amount of the deficiency and Seller shall promptly cause such amount to be transferred to the Seller Account. If Seller fails to cause the transfer of the entire amount of the deficiency to the Seller Account, then Repo Custodian may, at its option and without notice to Seller, advance to Seller the amount of such remaining deficiency. It is expressly agreed that Repo Custodian is not obligated to make any advance to Seller. If, following such transfer and/or advance, the amount of available funds in the Seller Account equals or exceeds the Repurchase Price then Repo Custodian shall debit the Seller Account and credit the Transaction Account in the amount of the Repurchase Price and shall transfer from the Participating Funds to the Seller all Securities applicable to such repurchase transaction and debit the Transaction Account and credit the Seller Account in the amount of any Cash Collateral applicable to such repurchase transaction.

(iii) If the Seller fails to cause the transfer of the entire amount of the deficiency, as required by (ii) above, and Repo Custodian fails to advance to Seller an amount sufficient to eliminate the entire deficiency, then Repo Custodian shall debit the Seller Account in the amount of all immediately available funds designated by Seller as applicable to the repurchase transaction and credit the Transaction Account in such amount (such amount being referred to as the "Partial Payment") and shall transfer Securities from the Participating Funds to the Seller such that the aggregate Market Value of all remaining Securities and Cash Collateral in the Transaction Account with respect to such repurchase transaction shall at least equal the difference between Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price and the Partial Payment.

5. Payments on Securities. Repo Custodian shall credit to the Seller Account as soon as received, all principal, interest and other sums paid by or on behalf of the issuer in respect of the Securities and collected by Repo Custodian, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 8 of the Master Agreement.

6. Daily Statement. On each Banking Day on which any Participating Funds have an outstanding repurchase transaction, Repo Custodian shall deliver by facsimile to Custodian and to the Participating Funds a statement identifying the Securities held by Repo Custodian with respect to such repurchase transaction and the cash and Cash Collateral, if any, held by Repo Custodian in the Transaction Account, including a statement of the then current Market Value of such Securities and the amounts, if any, credited to the Transaction Account as of the close of trading on the previous Banking Day. Repo Custodian shall also deliver to Custodian and the Participating Funds such additional statements as the Participating Funds may reasonably request.

7. Valuation.

(a) Repo Custodian shall confirm the Market Value of Securities and the amount of Cash Collateral, if any (i) on the Sale Date prior to transferring the Sale Price out of the Transaction Account to the Seller Account against the receipt from Seller of the Securities and Cash Collateral, if any, and (ii) on each Banking Day on which such repurchase transaction is outstanding. If on any Banking Day the aggregate Market Value of the Securities and Cash Collateral with respect to any repurchase transaction is less than the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day) for such transaction, Repo Custodian shall promptly, but in any case no later than 10:00 a.m. the following Banking Day, notify Seller. If on any Banking Day the aggregate market value of the Securities and Cash Collateral with respect to any repurchase transaction is less than the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day) for such transaction, and Seller fails to deliver additional Eligible Securities applicable to such repurchase transaction or an additional amount of Cash Collateral by the close of business on such Banking Day such that the aggregate market value of the Securities and Cash Collateral at least equals the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day), Repo Custodian shall promptly, but in any event no later than 10:00 a.m. the following Banking Day, notify the Participating Funds of such failure. For purposes of determining Seller's margin maintenance requirements on the Sale Date for repurchase transactions in which the Repurchase Date is the Banking Day immediately following the Sale Date, such aggregate market value shall equal at least the Margin Percentage of the Sale Price.

(b) Repo Custodian shall determine the bid side portion of the Market Value of the Securities by reference to the independent pricing services ("Pricing Services") set forth on Schedule B. It is understood and agreed that Repo Custodian shall use the prices made available by the Pricing Services on the Banking Day of such determination unless Seller and the Participating Funds mutually agree that some other prices shall be used and so notify Repo Custodian by proper instructions of the sum of the prices of all such Securities priced in such different manner. In the event that Repo Custodian is unable to obtain a valuation of any Securities from the Pricing Services, Repo Custodian shall request a bid quotation from a broker's broker or a broker dealer, set forth in Schedule B, other than Seller. In the event Repo Custodian is unable to obtain a bid quotation for any Securities from such a broker's broker or a broker dealer, Repo Custodian (i) shall not include any such Securities in the determination of whether the aggregate Market Value of the Securities and any Cash Collateral equals at least the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price and (ii) shall redeliver such Securities to Seller if the Market Value of all other Securities and any Cash Collateral with respect to such repurchase transaction equals at least the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day). The Repo Custodian may rely on prices quoted by Pricing Services, broker's brokers or broker dealers, except Seller, as set forth in Schedule B.

(c) (i) If, on any Banking Day, the aggregate Market Value of the Securities and any Cash Collateral with respect to a repurchase transaction is less than the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day) applicable to such repurchase transaction, Repo Custodian shall deliver to the Participating Funds an amount of additional Eligible Securities applicable to such repurchase transaction and/or debit the Seller Account and credit the Transaction Account with an additional amount of Cash Collateral, such that the aggregate Market Value of all Securities and any Cash Collateral with respect to such repurchase transaction shall equal at least the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day) applicable to such repurchase transaction; except that, for purposes of determining Seller's margin maintenance requirements on the Sale Date for repurchase transactions in which the Repurchase Date is the Banking Day immediately following the Sale Date, such aggregate market value shall equal at least the Margin Percentage of the Sale Price.

(ii) If, on any Banking Day, the aggregate Market Value of the Securities and any Cash Collateral with respect to a repurchase transaction exceeds the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day) applicable to such repurchase transaction, Repo Custodian shall return to the Seller all or a portion of such Securities or Cash Collateral, if any; provided that the Market Value of the remaining Securities and any Cash Collateral with respect to the repurchase transaction shall be at least equal to the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day) applicable to such repurchase transaction. At any time and from time to time with respect to any repurchase transaction, if authorized by the Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds, the Repo Custodian shall debit the Transaction Account by an amount of Cash Collateral and credit the Seller Account by the same amount of Cash Collateral against simultaneous delivery from Seller to the Participating Funds of Eligible Securities applicable to such repurchase transaction with a Market Value at least equal to the amount of Cash Collateral credited and debited.

8. Authorized Persons. Schedule C hereto sets forth those persons who are authorized to act for Repo Custodian, Custodian, Seller and the Funds, respectively, under this Agreement.

9. Proper Instructions. Proper instructions shall mean a tested telex, facsimile, a written request, direction, instruction or certification signed or initialed by or on behalf of the party giving the instructions by one or more authorized persons (as provided in Paragraph 8); provided, however, that no instructions directing the delivery of Securities or the payment of funds to any individual who is an authorized signatory of Custodian or Repo Custodian shall be signed by that individual. Telephonic, other oral or electro-mechanical or electronic instructions (including the code which may be assigned by Repo Custodian to Custodian from time to time) given by one of the above authorized persons shall also be considered proper instructions if the party receiving such instructions reasonably believes them to have been given by an authorized person with respect to the transaction involved. Oral instructions will be confirmed by tested telex, facsimile or in writing in the manner set forth above. The Funds authorize Repo Custodian to tape record any and all telephonic or other oral instructions given to Repo Custodian. Proper instructions may relate to specific transactions or to types or classes of transactions, and may be in the form of standing instructions.

10. Standard of Care.

(a) Repo Custodian shall be obligated to exercise reasonable care and diligence in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and the Master Agreement and shall be liable to each of the Funds and Seller for any expenses or damages to the Funds or Seller for breach of Repo Custodian's standard of care in this Agreement, as further provided in this Paragraph. Repo Custodian assumes responsibility for loss to any property held by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement which is occasioned by the negligence of, or conversion, misappropriation or theft by, Repo Custodian's officers, employees and agents. Repo Custodian, at its option, may insure itself against loss from any cause but shall be under no obligation to obtain insurance directly for the benefit of the Funds. So long as and to the extent that Repo Custodian exercises reasonable care and diligence and acts without negligence, misfeasance or misconduct, Repo Custodian shall not be liable to Seller or the Funds for (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith in reliance upon proper instructions, (ii) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon any notice, request, certificate or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to be signed by the proper party or parties, (iii) any delay or failure to act as may be required under this Agreement or under the Master Agreement when such delay or failure is due to any act of God or war, (iv) the actions or omissions of a Securities System, (v) the title, validity or genuineness of any security received, delivered or held by it pursuant to this Agreement or the Master Agreement, (vi) the legality of the purchase or sale of any Securities by or to the Participating Funds or Seller or the propriety of the amount for which the same are purchased or sold (except to the extent of Repo Custodian's obligations hereunder to determine whether securities are Eligible Securities and to calculate the Market Value of Securities and any Cash Collateral), (vii) the due authority of any person listed on Schedule C to act on behalf of Custodian, Seller or the Funds, as the case may be, with respect to this Agreement or (viii) the errors of the Pricing Services, broker's brokers or broker dealers set forth in Schedule B.

(b) Repo Custodian shall not be liable to Seller or the Funds for, or considered to be the custodian of, any Eligible Securities or any money to be used in a repurchase transaction, whether or not such money is represented by any check, draft, or other instrument for the payment of money, until the Eligible Securities have been delivered in accordance with Paragraph 3 or until Repo Custodian actually receives and collects such money on behalf of Seller or the Funds directly or by the final crediting of the Seller Account or a Transaction Account through the Securities System, except that this Paragraph 10(b) shall not be deemed to limit the liability of Repo Custodian to Seller or the Funds if the non-delivery of such Eligible Securities or the failure to receive and collect such money results from the breach by Repo Custodian of its obligations under this Agreement or the Master Agreement.

(c) Repo Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to ascertain whether any Securities at any time delivered to or held by it are such as properly may be held by the Participating Funds; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Repo Custodian shall be obligated to act in accordance with the guidelines and proper instructions of the Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds, with respect to the types of Eligible Securities and the issuers of such Eligible Securities that may be used in specific repurchase transactions.

(d) Repo Custodian promptly shall notify the Fund Agent and the Custodian if Securities held by Repo Custodian are in default or if payment on any Securities has been refused after due demand and presentation and Repo Custodian shall take action to effect collection of any such amounts upon the proper instructions of the Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds, and assurances satisfactory to it that it will be reimbursed for its costs and expenses in connection with any such action.

(e) Repo Custodian shall have no duties, other than such duties as are necessary to effectuate repurchase transactions in accordance with this Agreement and the Master Agreement within the standard of care set forth in Paragraph 10(a) above and in a commercially reasonable manner.

11. Representations and Additional Covenants of Repo Custodian.

(a) Repo Custodian represents and warrants that (i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement do not and will not violate any ordinance, declaration of trust, partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, charter, rule or statute applicable to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of its assets are affected, (iii) the person executing this Agreement on its behalf is duly and properly authorized to do so, (iv) it has (and will maintain) a copy of this Agreement and evidence of its authorization in its official books and records, and (v) this Agreement has been executed by one of its duly authorized officers at the level of Vice President or higher.

12. Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding the Participating Fund's obligation to the Repo Custodian under Paragraph 12(b) below, so long as and to the extent that Repo Custodian is in the exercise of reasonable care and diligence and acts without negligence, misfeasance or misconduct, Seller will indemnify Repo Custodian and hold it harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions to which it may become subject, and reimburse it for any expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection therewith, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon or in any way related to this Agreement, the Master Agreement or those arrangements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, Repo Custodian shall be indemnified by Seller for all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, for its successful defense against claims that Repo Custodian breached its standard of care and was negligent or engaged in misfeasance or misconduct.

(b) So long as and to the extent that Repo Custodian is in the exercise of reasonable care and diligence and acts without negligence, misconduct or misfeasance, the Participating Funds will indemnify Repo Custodian and hold it harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions to which it may become subject, and reimburse it for any expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection therewith, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions result from the negligence, misconduct or misfeasance of the Participating Funds under this Agreement.

13. Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies conferred upon the parties hereto shall be cumulative, and the exercise or waiver of any thereof shall not preclude or inhibit the exercise of any additional rights and remedies.

14. Modification or Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 14, no modification, waiver or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and executed by the parties hereto. Schedule A, listing the Funds, may be amended from time to time to add or delete Funds by the Funds (i) delivering an executed copy of an addendum to Schedule A to Seller and Repo Custodian, and (ii) amending Schedule A to the Master Agreement in accordance with the provisions therein. The amendment of Schedule A as provided above shall constitute appointment of Repo Custodian as a custodian for such Fund. Schedule B may be amended from time to time by an instrument in writing, or counterpart thereof, executed by Repo Custodian, Seller and the Funds. Schedule C may be amended from time to time to change an authorized person of: (i) the Funds, by written notice to Repo Custodian and Seller by Ms. Sarah Zenoble or the Treasurer of the Funds (or such persons who may be authorized from time to time in writing by Ms. Zenoble or the President or Treasurer of Fidelity Management and Research Company to trade on behalf of Fidelity's taxable money market funds); (ii) Seller, by written notice to Repo Custodian and the Funds by any Vice President of Seller; (iii) Repo Custodian, by written notice to Seller, Custodian and the Funds by any Vice President of Repo Custodian; and (iv) Custodian, by written notice to Repo Custodian by any Vice President of Custodian. Schedule D may be amended from time to time by any party hereto by delivery of written notice to the other parties hereto. Repo Custodian shall receive notice of any amendment to the Master Agreement at the address set forth in Schedule D hereto; and, if such amendment would have a material adverse effect on the rights of, or would materially increase the obligations of Repo Custodian under this Agreement, any such amendment shall also require the consent of Repo Custodian. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to be material if Repo Custodian fails to object in writing within 21 days after receipt of notice thereof. No amendment to this Agreement shall affect the rights or obligations of any Fund with respect to any outstanding repurchase transaction entered into under this Agreement and the Master Agreement prior to such amendment or with respect to any actions or omissions by any party hereto prior to such amendment. In the event of conflict between this Agreement and the Master Agreement, the Master Agreement shall control.

15. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate forthwith upon termination of the Master Agreement or may be terminated by any party hereto on ten Banking Days' written notice to the other parties; provided, however, that any such termination shall not affect any repurchase transaction then outstanding or any rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Master Agreement with respect to any actions or omissions of any party hereto prior to termination. In the event of termination, Repo Custodian will deliver any Securities, Cash Collateral or cash held by it or any agent to Custodian or to such successor custodian or custodian or subcustodian as the Participating Funds shall instruct.

16. Compensation. Seller agrees to pay Repo Custodian compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, based upon rates which shall be agreed upon from time to time.

17. Notices. Except with respect to communications between Custodian and the Funds which shall be governed by the custodian agreement or subcustodian agreement between such parties, as the case may be, and except as otherwise provided herein or as the parties to the Agreement shall from time to time otherwise agree, all instructions, notices, reports and other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be given to the party entitled to receive such notice at the telephone number and address listed on Schedule D hereto.

18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable as a matter of law, the other terms and provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

19. Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assignees; provided that, no party hereto may assign this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties.

20. Headings. Section headings are for reference purposes only and shall not be construed as a part of this Agreement.

21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

22. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

23. Limitation of Liability. Seller is hereby expressly put on notice that the Declarations of Trust or the Certificates and Agreements of Limited Partnership, as the case may be, of each Participating Fund contain a limitation of liability provision pursuant to which the obligations assumed by such Participating Fund hereunder shall be limited in all cases to such Participating Fund and its assets or, in the case of a series Fund, to the assets of that series only, and neither Seller nor its respective agents or assigns shall seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the officers, employees, agents, directors, trustees, shareholders or partners of any such Participating Fund or series.

24. Rights and Obligations of Each Fund. The rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement with respect to each repurchase transaction shall accrue only to the Participating Funds in accordance with their respective interests therein. No other Fund shall receive any rights or have any liabilities arising from any action or inaction of any Participating Fund under this Agreement with respect to such repurchase transaction.

25. General Provisions. This Agreement supersedes any other custodian agreement by and among Seller, the Funds, and Repo Custodian concerning repurchase transactions effected through the Joint Trading Account. It is understood and agreed that time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each party's respective obligations hereunder.

26. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) In the case of transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the Exchange Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (the "SIPA") do not protect the other party with respect to any transaction hereunder; and

(b) In the case of transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the Exchange Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any transaction hereunder.
