AMENDED AND RESTATED

AGREEMENT AMONG INSUREDS

AGREEMENT dated the 11 th day of May, 2007 between Wasatch Funds, Inc. (the “Funds”) and Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”):

WHEREAS, the Funds and the Advisor are named insureds under certain fidelity bond coverage written by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA (the “Insurer”) in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 as of the date of this Agreement (the “Fidelity Bond”), which Fidelity Bond is intended to be in full compliance with Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Funds and the Advisor desire to enter into an agreement in order to meet the requirements of Rule 17g-1(f) of the 1940 Act and to assure that premiums on the Fidelity Bond and any recovery received under the Fidelity Bond are allocated in a fair and equitable manner;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Funds and the Advisor do hereby agree as follows:

1. As of the date of this Agreement and on June 13th of each year the premium payable on the Fidelity Bond by the Funds and the Advisor shall be allocated as provided in Rule 17g-1(e) under the 1940 Act.

2. In the event that the claims of loss of the Funds and the Advisor are so related that the Insurer is entitled to assert that the claims must be aggregated with the result that the total amount payable on such claims is limited to the face amount of the Fidelity Bond, the following rules for determining, as between the Funds and the Advisor, the priorities for satisfaction of the claims under the Fidelity Bond shall apply:

a. First, all claims of the Funds which have been duly proven and established under the Fidelity Bond shall be satisfied up to the minimum amount of the Fidelity Bond, as determined pursuant to paragraph 1 hereof, required for the Funds, so that the Funds shall receive an amount equal to the amount which they would have otherwise received had they provided and maintained a single insured bond under Rule 17g-1(d) of the 1940 Act; and

b. Second, the remaining amount of insurance, if any, shall then be applied to claims of the Funds and the Advisor in proportion to the total of the unsatisfied amount of the claims of the Funds and the Advisor.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned entities has caused this Agreement to be executed by an officer thereunder duly authorized as of the date first above written.
