If during the Bond Period an Insured Investment Company shall merge or consolidate  with an institution in which such Insured is the surviving entity, or purchase  substantially all the assets or capital stock of another institution, or acquire  or create a separate investment portfolio, and shall within sixty (60) days  notify the Underwriter thereof, then this Bond shall automatically apply to  the Property and Employees resulting from such merger, consolidation, acquisition  or creation from the date thereof; provided, that the Underwriter may make such  coverage contingent upon the payment of an additional premium.**B. WARRANTY**  No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the Application  or otherwise, shall be deemed to be an absolute warranty, but only a warranty  that such statement is true to the best of the knowledge of the person responsible  for such statement.**C. COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES**  The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against court costs and reasonable  attorneys' fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense of any legal proceeding  brought against the Insured claiming that the Insured is liable for any loss,  claim or damage which, if established against the Insured, would constitute  a loss sustained by the Insured covered under the terms of this Bond; provided,  however, that with respect to Insuring Agreement A this indemnity shall apply  only in the event that  1. an Employee admits to having committed or is adjudicated to have committed  a Dishonest or Fraudulent Act or Theft which caused the loss; or  2. in the absence of such an admission or adjudication, an arbitrator or arbitrators  acceptable to the Insured and the Underwriter concludes, after a review of an  agreed statement of facts, that an Employee has committed a Dishonest or Fraudulent  Act or Theft which caused the loss.  The Insured shall promptly give notice to the Underwriter of any such legal  proceeding and upon request shall furnish the Underwriter with copies of all  pleadings and other papers therein. At the Underwriter's election the Insured  shall permit the Underwriter to conduct the defense of such legal proceeding  in the Insured's name, through attorneys of the Underwriter's selection. In  such event, the Insured shall give all reasonable information and assistance  which the Underwriter shall deem necessary to the proper defense of such legal  proceeding.  If the amount of the Insured's liability or alleged liability in any such legal  proceeding is greater than the amount which the Insured would be entitled to  recover under this Bond (other than pursuant to this General Agreement C), or  if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, the indemnity liability of the  Underwriter under this General Agreement C is limited to the proportion of court  costs and attorneys' fees incurred and paid by the Insured or by the Underwriter  that the amount which the Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond  (other than pursuant to this General Agreement C) bears to the sum of such amount  plus the amount which the Insured is not entitled to recover. Such indemnity  shall be in addition to the Limit of Liability for the applicable Insuring Agreement.

**D. INTERPRETATION**

This Bond shall be interpreted with due regard to the prupose of fidelity bonding  under Rule 17g-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (i.e., to protect innocent  third parties from harm) and to the sturcture of the investment management industry  (in which a loss of Property resulting from a cause described in any Insuring  Agreement ordinarily gives rise to a potential legal liability on the party  of the Insured), such that the term "loss" as used herein shall include  an Insured's legal liability for direct compensatory damages resulting directly  from a misappropriation, or measurable dimunition in value, of Property.

At the request  of the Underwriter, the Insured shall execute all assignments or other documents  and take such action as the Underwriter may deem necessary or desirable to secure  and perfect such rights and claims, including the execution of documents necessary  to enable the Underwriter to bring suit in the name of the Insured.  Assignment of any rights or claims under this Bond shall not bind the Underwriter  without the Underwriter's written consent.**SECTION 4. LOSS--NOTICE--PROOF--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**  This Bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured and the Underwriter  shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured,  except that if the Insured includes such other loss in the Insured's proof of  loss, the Underwriter shall consider its liability therefor. As soon as practicable  and not more than sixty (60) days after discovery of any loss covered hereunder,  the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof and, as soon as  practicable and within one year after such discovery, shall also furnish to  the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars. The Underwriter  may extend the sixty day notice period or the one year proof of loss period  if the Insured requests an extension and shows good cause therefor.   See also General Agreement C (Court Costs and Attorneys' Fees).  The Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss of Securities unless  each of the Securities is identified in such proof of loss by a certificate  or bond number or by such identification means as the Underwriter may require.  The Underwriter shall have a reasonable period after receipt of a proper affirmative  proof of loss within which to investigate the claim, but where the loss is of  Securities and is clear and undisputed, settlement shall be made within forty-eight  (48) hours even if the loss involves Securities of which duplicates may be obtained.    The Insured shall not bring legal proceedings against the Underwriter to recover  any loss hereunder prior to sixty (60) days after filing such proof of loss  or subsequent to twenty-four (24) months after the discovery of such loss or,  in the case of a legal proceeding to recover hereunder on account of any judgment  against the Insured in or settlement of any suit mentioned in General Agreement  C or to recover court costs or attorneys' fees paid in any such suit, twenty-four  (24) months after the date of the final judgment in or settlement of such suit.  If any limitation in this Bond is prohibited by any applicable law, such limitation  shall be deemed to be amended to be equal to the minimum period of limitation  permitted by such law.  Notice hereunder shall be given to Manager, Professional Liability Claims, ICI  Mutual Insurance Company, 1401 H St. NW, Washington, DC 20005.**SECTION 5. DISCOVERY**  For all purposes under this Bond, a loss is discovered, and discovery of a loss  occurs, when the Insured  (1) becomes aware of facts, or  (2) receives notice of an actual or potential claim by a third party which alleges  that the Insured is liable under circumstances,  which would cause a reasonable person to assume that loss covered by this Bond  has been or is likely to be incurred even though the exact amount or details  of loss may not be known.**SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PROPERTY**  For the purpose of determining the amount of any loss hereunder, the value of  any Property shall be the market value of such Property at the close of business  on the first business day before the discovery of such loss; except that  (1) the value of any Property replaced by the Insured prior to the payment of  a claim therefor shall be the actual market value of such Property at the time  of replacement, but not in excess of the market value of such Property on the  first business day before the discovery of the loss of such Property;  (2) the value of Securities which must be produced to exercise subscription,  conversion, redemption or deposit privileges shall be the market value of such  privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof if the loss of such  Securities is not discovered until after such expiration, but if there is no  quoted or other ascertainable market price for such Property or privileges referred  to in clauses (1) and (2), their value shall be fixed by agreement between the  parties or by arbitration before an arbitrator or arbitrators acceptable to  the parties; and  (3) the value of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the  conduct of its business shall be limited to the actual cost of blank books,  blank pages or other materials if the books or records are reproduced plus the  cost of labor for the transcription or copying of data furnished by the Insured  for reproduction.**SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES**  The maximum liability of the Underwriter hereunder for lost Securities shall  be the payment for, or replacement of, such Securities having an aggregate value  not to exceed the applicable Limit of Liability. If the Underwriter shall make  payment to the Insured for any loss of securities, the Insured shall assign  to the Underwriter all of the Insured's right, title and interest in and to  such Securities. In lieu of such payment, the Underwriter may, at its option,  replace such lost Securities, and in such case the Insured shall cooperate to  effect such replacement. To effect the replacement of lost Securities, the Underwriter  may issue or arrange for the issuance of a lost instrument bond. If the value  of such Securities does not exceed the applicable Deductible Amount (at the  time of the discovery of the loss), the Insured will pay the usual premium charged  for the lost instrument bond and will indemnify the issuer of such bond against  all loss and expense that it may sustain because of the issuance of such bond.  If the value of such Securities exceeds the applicable Deductible Amount (at  the time of discovery of the loss), the Insured will pay a proportion of the  usual premium charged for the lost instrument bond, equal to the percentage  that the applicable Deductible Amount bears to the value of such Securities  upon discovery of the loss, and will indemnify the issuer of such bond against  all loss and expense that is not recovered from the Underwriter under the terms  and conditions of this Bond, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability. **SECTION 8. SALVAGE**  If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account  of any loss within the applicable Limit of Liability hereunder, the Underwriter  shall be entitled to the full amount of such recovery to reimburse the Underwriter  for all amounts paid hereunder with respect to such loss. If any recovery is  made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account of any loss in excess  of the applicable Limit of Liability hereunder plus the Deductible Amount applicable  to such loss from any source other than suretyship, insurance, reinsurance,  security or indemnity taken by or for the benefit of the Underwriter, the amount  of such recovery, net of the actual costs and expenses of recovery, shall be  applied to reimburse the Insured in full for the portion of such loss in excess  of such Limit of Liability, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid first to  reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts paid hereunder with respect to such  loss and then to the Insured to the extent of the portion of such loss within  the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall execute all documents which the Underwriter  deems necessary or desirable to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided  for herein.**SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL  LIABILITY**  Prior to its termination, this Bond shall continue in force up to the Limit  of Liability for each Insuring Agreement for each Single Loss, notwithstanding  any previous loss (other than such Single Loss) for which the Underwriter may  have paid or be liable to pay hereunder; PROVIDED, however, that regardless  of the number of years this Bond shall continue in force and the number of premiums  which shall be payable or paid, the liability of the Underwriter under this  Bond with respect to any Single Loss shall be limited to the applicable Limit  of Liability irrespective of the total amount of such Single Loss and shall  not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or from period to period.**SECTION 10. MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF UNDERWRITER; OTHER BONDS OR POLICIES**  The maximum liability of the Underwriter for any Single Loss covered by any  Insuring Agreement under this Bond shall be the Limit of Liability applicable  to such Insuring Agreement, subject to the applicable Deductible Amount and  the other provisions of this Bond. Recovery for any Single Loss may not be made  under more than one Insuring Agreement. If any Single Loss covered under this  Bond is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part because of an unexpired  discovery period under any other bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter  to the Insured or to any predecessor in interest of the Insured, the maximum  liability of the Underwriter shall be the greater of either (1) the applicable  Limit of Liability under this Bond, or (2) the maximum liability of the Underwriter  under such other bonds or policies.**SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE**  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any loss covered by this  Bond shall also be covered by other insurance or suretyship for the benefit  of the Insured, the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the portion  of such loss in excess of the amount recoverable under such other insurance  or suretyship, but not exceeding the applicable Limit of Liability of this Bond.**SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT**  The Underwriter shall not be liable under any Insuring Agreement unless the  amount of the loss covered thereunder, after deducting the net amount of all  reimbursement and/or recovery received by the Insured with respect to such loss  (other than from any other bond, suretyship or insurance policy or as an advance  by the Underwriter hereunder) shall exceed the applicable Deductible Amount;  in such case the Underwriter shall be liable only for such excess, subject to  the applicable Limit of Liability and the other terms of this Bond.  No Deductible Amount shall apply to any loss covered under Insuring Agreement  A sustained by any Investment Company named as an Insured.**SECTION 13. TERMINATION**  The Underwriter may terminate this Bond as to any Insured or all Insureds only  by written notice to such Insured or Insureds and, if this Bond is terminated  as to any Investment Company, to each such Investment Company terminated thereby  and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., in all cases  not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination specified  in such notice.   The Insured may terminate this Bond only by written notice to the Underwriter  not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the termination  specified in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Insured terminates  this Bond as to any Investment Company, the effective date of termination shall  be not less than sixty (60) days from the date the Underwriter provides written  notice of the termination to each such Investment Company terminated thereby  and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.  This Bond will terminate as to any Insured that is a Non-Fund immediately and  without notice upon (1) the takeover of such Insured's business by any State  or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, or (2) the  filing of a petition under any State or Federal statute relative to bankruptcy  or reorganization of the Insured, or assignment for the benefit of creditors  of the Insured.  Premiums are earned until the effective date of termination. The Underwriter  shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates in accordance with  the Underwriter's standard short rate cancellation tables if this Bond is terminated  by the Insured or pro rata if this Bond is terminated by the Underwriter.  Upon the detection by any Insured that an Employee has committed any Dishonest  or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft, the Insured shall immediately remove such Employee  from a position that may enable such Employee to cause the Insured to suffer  a loss by any subsequent Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft. The Insured,  within two (2) business days of such detection, shall notify the Underwriter  with full and complete particulars of the detected Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s)  or Theft.  For purposes of this section, detection occurs when any partner, officer, or  supervisory employee of any Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee,  becomes aware that the Employee has committed any Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s)  or Theft.  This Bond shall terminate as to any Employee by written notice from the Underwriter  to each Insured and, if such Employee is an Employee of an Insured Investment  Company, to the Securities and Exchange Commission, in all cases not less than  sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination specified in such  notice.**SECTION 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION**  At any time prior to the effective date of termination of this Bond as to any  Insured, such Insured may, by written notice to the Underwriter, elect to purchase  the right under this Bond to an additional period of twelve (12) months within  which to discover loss sustained by such Insured prior to the effective date  of such termination and shall pay an additional premium therefor as the Underwriter  may require.  Such additional discovery period shall terminate immediately and without notice  upon the takeover of such Insured's business by any State or Federal official  or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator. Promptly after such termination  the Underwriter shall refund to the Insured any unearned premium.  The right to purchase such additional discovery period may not be exercised  by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator,  acting or appointed to take over the Insured's business.**SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES**  The Underwriter shall not be liable for loss in connection with the central  handling of securities within the systems established and maintained by any  Depository ("Systems"), unless the amount of such loss exceeds the  amount recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy or participants' fund  insuring the Depository against such loss (the "Depository's Recovery");  in such case the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the Insured's  share of such excess loss, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability, the  Deductible Amount and the other terms of this Bond.  For determining the Insured's share of such excess loss, (1) the Insured shall  be deemed to have an interest in any certificate representing any security included  within the Systems equivalent to the interest the Insured then has in all certificates  representing the same security included within the Systems; (2) the Depository  shall have reasonably and fairly apportioned the Depository's Recovery among  all those having an interest as recorded by appropriate entries in the books  and records of the Depository in Property involved in such loss, so that each  such interest shall share in the Depository's Recovery in the ratio that the  value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such interests;  and (3) the Insured's share of such excess loss shall be the amount of the Insured's  interest in such Property in excess of the amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured  by the Depository.  This Bond does not afford coverage in favor of any Depository or Exchange or  any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the Systems.**SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED**  If more than one entity is named as the Insured:  A. the total liability of the Underwriter hereunder for each Single Loss shall  not exceed the Limit of Liability which would be applicable if there were only  one named Insured, regardless of the number of Insured entities which sustain  loss as a result of such Single Loss,  B. the Insured first named in Item 1 of the Declarations shall be deemed authorized  to make, adjust, and settle, and receive and enforce payment of, all claims  hereunder as the agent of each other Insured for such purposes and for the giving  or receiving of any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder; provided,  that the Underwriter shall promptly furnish each named Insured Investment Company  with (1) a copy of this Bond and any amendments thereto, (2) a copy of each  formal filing of a claim hereunder by any other Insured, and (3) notification  of the terms of the settlement of each such claim prior to the execution of  such settlement,  C. the Underwriter shall not be responsible or have any liability for the proper  application by the Insured first named in Item 1 of the Declarations of any  payment made hereunder to the first named Insured,  D. for the purposes of Sections 4 and 13, knowledge possessed or discovery made  by any partner, officer or supervisory Employee of any Insured shall constitute  knowledge or discovery by every named Insured,  E. if the first named Insured ceases for any reason to be covered under this  Bond, then the Insured next named shall thereafter be considered as the first  named Insured for the purposes of this Bond, and  F. each named Insured shall constitute "the Insured" for all purposes  of this Bond.**SECTION 17. NOTICE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL**  Within thirty (30) days after learning that there has been a change in control  of an Insured by transfer of its outstanding voting securities the Insured shall  give written notice to the Underwriter of:  A. the names of the transferors and transferees (or the names of the beneficial  owners if the voting securities are registered in another name), and  B. the total number of voting securities owned by the transferors and the transferees  (or the beneficial owners), both immediately before and after the transfer,  and  C. the total number of outstanding voting securities.  As used in this Section, "control" means the power to exercise a controlling  influence over the management or policies of the Insured.**SECTION 18. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION**  This Bond may only be modified by written Rider forming a part hereof over the  signature of the Underwriter's authorized representative. Any Rider which modifies  the coverage provided by Insuring Agreement A, Fidelity, in a manner which adversely  affects the rights of an Insured Investment Company shall not become effective  until at least sixty (60) days after the Underwriter has given written notice  thereof to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., and to  each Insured Investment Company affected thereby.  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Underwriter has caused this Bond to be executed on the  Declarations Page.

Definitions. The following terms used in this Insuring Agreement shall  have the following meanings:  a. "Authorized User" means any person or entity designated by the  Insured (through contract, assignment of User Identification, or otherwise)  as authorized to use a Covered Computer System, or any part thereof. An individual  who invests in an Insured Fund shall not be considered to be an Authorized User  solely by virtue of being an investor.  b. "Computer Fraud" means the unauthorized entry of data into, or  the deletion or destruction of data in, or change of data elements or programs  within, a Covered Computer System which:  (1) is committed by any Unauthorized Third Party anywhere, alone or in collusion  with other Unauthorized Third Parties; and  (2) is committed with the conscious manifest intent (a) to cause the Insured  to sustain a loss, and (b) to obtain financial benefit for the perpetrator or  any other person; and  (3) causes (x) Property to be transferred, paid or delivered; or (y) an account  of the Insured, or of its customer, to be added, deleted, debited or credited;  or (z) an unauthorized or fictitious account to be debited or credited.  c. "Computer Security Procedures" means procedures for prevention  of unauthorized computer access and use and administration of computer access  and use and administration and use as provided in writing to the Underwriter.  d.

"Unauthorized Third Party" means any person or entity that, at  the time of the Computer Fraud, is not an Authorized User.  f. "User Identification" means any unique user name (i.e., a series  of characters) that is assigned to a person or entity by the Insured.  2. Exclusions. It is further understood and agreed that this Insuring  Agreement J shall not cover:  a. Any loss covered under Insuring Agreement A, "Fidelity," of this  Bond; and  b.

Any loss resulting from the intentional failure to adhere to one or more  Computer Security Procedures; and  d. Any loss resulting from a Computer Fraud committed by or in collusion with:  (1) any Authorized User (whether a natural person or an entity); or  (2) in the case of any Authorized User which is an entity, (a) any director,  officer, partner, employee or agent of such Authorized User, or (b) any entity  which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Authorized  User ("Related Entity"), or (c) any director, officer, partner, employee  or agent of such Related Entity; or  (3) in the case of any Authorized User who is a natural person, (a) any entity  for which such Authorized User is a director, officer, partner, employee or  agent ("Employer Entity"), or (b) any director, officer, partner,  employee or agent of such Employer Entity, or (c) any entity which controls,  is controlled by, or is under common control with such Employer Entity ("Employer-Related  Entity"), or (d) any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such  Employer-Related Entity;  and  e. Any loss resulting from physical damage to or destruction of any Covered  Computer System, or any part thereof, or any data, data elements or media associated  therewith; and  f.

Any loss not directly and proximately caused by Computer Fraud (including,  without limitation, disruption of business and extra expense); and  h. Payments made to any person(s) who has threatened to deny or has denied authorized  access to a Covered Computer System or otherwise has threatened to disrupt the  business of the Insured.   For purposes of this Insuring Agreement, "Single Loss," as defined  in Section 1.X of this Bond, shall also include all loss caused by Computer  Fraud(s) committed by one person, or in which one person is implicated, whether  or not that person is specifically identified. A series of losses involving  unidentified individuals, but arising from the same method of operation, may  be deemed by the Underwriter to involve the same individual and in that event  shall be treated as a Single Loss.  It is further understood and agreed that nothing in this Rider shall affect  the exclusion set forth in Section 2.0 of this Bond.  It is further understood and agreed that notwithstanding Section 9, Non-Reduction  and Non-Accumulation of Liability and Total Liability, or any other provision  of this Bond, the Aggregate Limit of Liability of the Underwriter under this  Bond with respect to any and all loss or losses under this Insuring Agreement  shall be an aggregate of $3,160,000 for the Bond Period, irrespective of the  total amount of any such loss or losses.  Coverage under this Insuring Agreement shall terminate upon termination of this  Bond.

  Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company,  a Risk Retention Group (“ICI Mutual”), are subject to the requirements  of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the “Act”). The Act  establishes a Federal insurance backstop under which ICI Mutual and these other  insurers will be partially reimbursed for future**“insured losses”**  resulting from certified **“acts of terrorism**.**”**  (Each of these **bolded terms** is defined by the Act.) The Act  also places certain disclosure and other obligations on ICI Mutual and these  other insurers.  Pursuant to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified **“acts  of terrorism”** will be partially reimbursed by the United States  government under a formula established by the Act. Under this formula, the United  States government will reimburse ICI Mutual for 90% of ICI Mutual’s **“insured  losses”** in excess of a statutorily established deductible until  total insured losses of all participating insurers reach $100 billion. If total  “insured losses” of all property and casualty insurers reach $100  billion during any applicable period, the Act provides that the insurers will  not be liable under their policies for their portions of such losses that exceed  such amount. Amounts otherwise payable under this bond may be reduced as a result.    This bond has no express exclusion for **“acts of terrorism.”**  However, coverage under this bond remains subject to all applicable terms, conditions  and limitations of the bond (including exclusions) that are permissible under  the Act. The portion of the premium that is attributable to any coverage potentially  available under the bond for **“acts of terrorism”**is  one percent (1%).
