The indemnity required from the ASSURED under the terms of this Section against all loss, cost or expense arising from the replacement of securities by the COMPANY'S indemnity shall be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. for

FRAUDULENT TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS ENDORSEMENT

(For use with the ICAP bond)

In consideration of the premium charged, it is agreed that this bond is amended as follows:

(1) The
 following Insuring Clause is added:

FRAUDULENT TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS

Loss resulting directly from the ASSURED having, in good faith, transferred money on deposit in a **Customer's** account, or a **Customer's Certificated Security** or **Uncertificated Security**, in reliance upon a fraudulent instruction transmitted to the ASSURED via telefacsimile, telephone or electronic mail; provided, however, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. the
 fraudulent instruction purports, and reasonably appears, to have originated from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. such **Customer**, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. an **Employee** acting on instructions of such **Customer**, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. another
 financial institution acting on behalf of such **Customer** with authority to make
 such instructions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. the
 sender of the fraudulent instruction verified the instruction with the password, PIN,
 or other security code of such **Customer**; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. the
 sender was not, in fact, such **Customer**, was not authorized to act on behalf of
 such **Customer**, and was not an **Employee**; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. the
 instruction was received by an **Employee** specifically authorized by the ASSURED
 to receive and act upon such instructions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. for
 any transfer exceeding the amount set forth in paragraph (8) of this endorsement, the
 ASSURED verified the instructions via a call back to a predetermined telephone number
 set forth in the ASSURED's written agreement with such **Customer** or other
 verification procedure approved in writing by the COMPANY; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. the
 ASSURED preserved a contemporaneous record of the call back, if any, and the instruction
 which verifies use of the authorized password, PIN or other security code of the **Customer**.

(2) For
 the purposes of the coverage afforded by this endorsement, the following terms shall
 have the following meanings:

**Certificated Security** means a share, participation or other interest in property of, or an enterprise of, the issuer or an obligation of the issuer, which is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) represented
by an instrument issued in bearer or registered form, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) of
a type commonly dealt in on securities exchanges or markets or commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt
in as a medium for investment, and

14-02-21330 (10/2014) Page 1 of 3

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) either
 one of a class or series or by its terms divisible into a class or series of shares,
 participations, interests or obligations.

**Customer** means any individual, corporate partnership, proprietor, trust customer, shareholder or subscriber of an **Investment Company** which has a written agreement with the ASSURED authorizing the ASSURED to transfer **Money** on deposit in an account or **Certificated Security** or **Uncertificated Security** in reliance upon instructions transmitted to the ASSURED via telefacsimile, telephone or electronic mail to transmit the fraudulent instruction.

**Uncertificated Security** means a share, participation or other interest in property of or an enterprise of the issuer or an obligation of the issuer, which is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) not
 represented by an instrument and the transfer of which is registered on books maintained
 for that purpose by or on behalf of the issuer, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) of
 a type commonly dealt in on securities exchanges or markets, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) either
 one of a class or series or by its terms divisible into a class or series of shares,
 participations, interests or obligations.

(3) It
 shall be a condition precedent to coverage under this Insuring Clause that the ASSURED
 assert any available claims, offsets or defenses against such **Customer**, any financial
 institution or any other party to the transaction.

(4) Solely
 with respect to the Fraudulent Transfer Instruction Insuring Clause, the following Exclusions
 are added:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Loss
 resulting directly or indirectly from a fraudulent instruction if the sender, or anyone
 acting in collusion with the sender, ever had authorized access to such **Customer's** password, PIN or other security code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Loss
 resulting directly or indirectly from the fraudulent alteration of an instruction to
 initiate an automated clearing house (ACH) entry, or group of ACH entries, transmitted
 as an electronic message, or as an attachment to an electronic message, sent via the
 internet, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. each
 ACH entry was individually verified via the call back procedure without regard to the
 amount of the entry; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. the
 instruction was formatted, encoded or encrypted so that any altercation in the ACH entry
 or group of ACH entries would be apparent to the ASSURED.

(5) Solely
 with respect to the Fraudulent Transfer Instruction Insuring Clause, Exclusion 2.k. is
 deleted and replaced with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k. loss
 resulting from voice requests or instructions received over the telephone, provided however,
 this Section 2.k. shall not apply to INSURING CLAUSE 7. or 9. or the Fraudulent Transfer
 Instruction Insuring Clause.

(6) For
 the purposes of the Fraudulent Transfer Instruction Insuring Clause, all loss or losses
 involving one natural person or entity, or one group of natural persons or entities acting
