Rowe Price U.S. Treasury Funds, Inc., on behalf of the U.S. Treasury Intermediate Fund, U.S. Treasury Long-Term Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Fund and T. Rowe Price Value Fund, Inc. (all of which are hereinafter collectively called the "Funds" and each of which is hereinafter sometimes called a "Fund"), which are registered as diversified open-end management investment companies under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"). T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("Adviser") is investment adviser to all the Funds except Institutional International Funds, Inc., T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. and T. Rowe Price International Series, Inc.; T. Rowe Price International, Inc. ("TRPI") is investment adviser to each of these investment companies. T. Rowe Price Investment Services, Inc. ("Distributor"), T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. ("Services"), and T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. ("RPS") are Maryland corporations and wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Adviser. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act, the Funds, the Adviser, TRPI, the Distributor, Services, and RPS, as well as other affiliated companies of the Adviser, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., (all of which are hereinafter sometimes collectively called the "Insureds" and each of which is hereinafter sometimes individually called the "Insured"), have jointly agreed to maintain a Brokers` Blanket Bond and Policy, designated as Bond No. 87163209B (the "Bond") from the ICI Mutual Insurance Company, as attached hereto. The Bond became effective on August 31, 2009, and is to run through August 31, 2010 unless canceled. The coverage of the Bond is in the principal amount of $105,000,000.

The Bond coverage shall be allocated among the Insureds for the period August 31, 2009 through August 31,2010, in the following proportions in accordance

Page 2

with the appropriations outlined in the Price Funds Quarterly Compliance Report for the Joint Brokers Blanket Bond, attached hereto as "Exhibit A".

(b) Due to the large number of T. Rowe Price entities listed on the Bond, the Boards have allocated the premium based on a ratio of70% to the Price Funds and 30% to the T. Rowe Price entities.

Each investment company is allocated a percentage of the total bond coverage that is allocated to all of the Price Funds (91% of coverage) based on the required bond amount for that investment company as specified under the Act. The minimum amount of coverage is calculated based on the total assets of each investment company rather than each underlying series. The premium for each Price Fund is calculated using each Price Fund`s (including each underlying series) percentage of total gross assets of all of the Price Funds. This percentage is multiplied by he total premium allocated to all of the Price Funds (70% of premium).

2. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Insured shall be entitled to the full amount of any recovery under the Bond in connection with any loss sustained by it, and shall bear all of the expenses attendant upon the realization of such recovery.

3. (a) In the event that all of the Insureds shall together sustain, as the result of any single occurrence, a loss equal to or greater than the principal amount of the Bond, or in the event that all of the Insureds shall together sustain losses under any other circumstances in which the aggregate amount of the recovery under the Bond shall be less than the aggregate amount of such losses, then in either such event the amount of such recovery shall be proportioned among all Insureds as allocated in Section 1 (a). Each underlying series would receive a portion of its investment company`s allocation based on the percentage of assets of the underlying series of the total assets of the series` investment company.

In the event that any two or more of the Insured entities shall together sustain a loss or losses, then any recovery under the Bond shall be allocated between them in such proportions as shall be determined in the case of each Insured by the application of the following fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the numerator of the fraction applicable to such Insured as set forth in Section 1 (a) (each series would receive a proportional amount of the coverage calculated for the investment company based on the number of underlying series suffering losses), and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the numerators applicable to such Insured as set forth in Section 1 (a).

(b) Anything in Paragraph 3(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the result of the operation of that paragraph would be to allocate to anyone or more of the Insureds sustaining losses as a result of any single occurrence an amount in excess of the loss actually sustained by it or them, each such Insured shall be entitled only to an amount equal to the loss it has sustained, and the excess shall be al located as between the other Insured or Insureds participating in such loss by a computation made in the manner prescribed in the second sentence of Paragraph 3(a); provided, however, in the

Page 3

event that the result of such computation shall be the allocation to one or more of such other Insureds of an amount or amounts which, when added to the amount or amounts allocated to such Insured or Insureds pursuant to Paragraph 3(a), shall exceed the loss or losses actually sustained by it or them, the procedure specified in the foregoing sentence shall be repeated successively until none of the Insureds sustaining a loss by virtue of such occurrence shall have been allocated an amount in excess of such loss.

4. Any cost involved in the interpretation and enforcement of the Bond shall be borne by all of the Insureds in the same proportions as used to calculate the premium of the Bond; provided, however, that if the interpretation of the Bond arises out of or in connection with a loss or losses in which any two or more of the Insureds are involved, such costs shall be allocated among them in the manner specified in Paragraph 3; and provided further, that if only one Insured is involved in any such loss, then all of such costs shall be borne by Insured.

5. Each of the Insureds shall notify each of the other Insureds within ten days of:

(a) the filing of any claim under the Bond, and

(b) the settlement of any claim under the Bond.

6. The Insureds agree to consult and cooperate among themselves in order to procure the benefits of the Bond and of this Agreement for all of them.

7. This Agreement has been executed and delivered in order to comply with the terms and conditions set forth in Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Insureds has caused this Agreement to be executed in its name and its corporate seal to be affixed hereunto and attested, in each case by its corporate officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the 31st day of August, 2009.
