4

 
 
 
 
2.
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 seeking recovery for any loss which, if established against the Insured, would constitute a loss 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 purpose 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 structure 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 part of the Insured), such that the term “loss” as used herein shall include an Insured’s legal liability for

SECTION 3.  ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS
 
Upon payment to the Insured hereunder for any loss, the Underwriter shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the Insured’s rights and claims in connection with such loss; provided, however, that the Underwriter shall not be subrogated to any such rights or claims one named Insured under this Bond may have against another named Insured under this Bond.  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 to anyone other than the Insured.  As soon as practicable and not more than sixty (60) days after discovery, 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 Property is Securities and the loss 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.
 
 
 
11

 
 
 
 
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
 

 
12

 

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
 

 
13

 

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.
 
 
 
14

 
 
 
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,
 
 
 
15

 
 
 
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.

Loss (including loss of Property) resulting directly from Computer Fraud; provided, that the Insured has adopted in writing and generally maintains and follows during the Bond Period all Computer Security Procedures.  The isolated failure of the Insured to maintain and follow a particular Computer Security Procedure in a particular instance will not preclude coverage under this Insuring Agreement, subject to the specific exclusions herein and in the Bond.

 
1.
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 as provided in writing to the Underwriter.

 
d.
"Covered Computer System" means any Computer System as to which the Insured has possession, custody and control.

 
e.
"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 directly or indirectly from Theft or misappropriation of confidential or proprietary information, material or data (including but not limited to trade secrets, computer programs or customer information); and

 
c.
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 resulting from Computer Fraud committed by means of wireless access to any Covered Computer System, or any part thereof, or any data, data elements or media associated therewith; and

 
g.
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.

Coverage under this Insuring Agreement shall terminate upon termination of this Bond.  Coverage under this Insuring Agreement may also be terminated without terminating this Bond as an entirety:

 
(a)
by written notice from the Underwriter not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination specified in such notice; or

 
(b)

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, as amended (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%).

THIS INSURANCE ALLOCATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of September 30, 2010, by and among the investment companies listed as signatories on Schedule A to this Agreement (the “Funds”), on behalf of their respective series as set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement (the “Series”) and Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc., the Adviser for each Fund (the “Adviser”), each acting on its own behalf and on behalf of certain of its incorporated and unincorporated affiliates or benefit plans identified by an asterisk on Schedule A to this Agreement (individually hereinafter referred to as an “Affiliate” or collectively as “Affiliates”) (sometimes individually hereinafter referred to as a “party” or collectively as “parties”).
 
WHEREAS, the Adviser and certain Affiliates act as investment adviser, administrator and/or underwriter to each of the Funds and may from time to time hereafter act in the same capacity with respect to other investment companies and also supervise the handling and settlement of claims under joint liability insurance policies purchased for the protection of the Adviser and its respective Affiliates and the Funds;
 
WHEREAS, the Funds, the Adviser and the Affiliates have been named as insured parties (“Insureds”) under directors and officers/errors and omissions insurance policies and such other insurance policies as may be approved, from time to time, by the Funds’ respective Boards of Directors/Trustees (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Board” and collectively as the “Boards”) (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Policy” and collectively as the “Policies”);
 
WHEREAS, ICI Mutual Insurance Company (“ICI”) requires, as a condition to issuing its Policy (the “ICI Policy”), that its Insureds furnish a letter of credit pursuant to a standby letter of credit and application (“Letter of Credit”) in an amount determined by the ICI;
 
WHEREAS, the parties have appointed their respective Advisers as their agent to procure the Letter of Credit and to administer: (i) the allocation of costs of the Letter of Credit among the parties covered by the ICI Policy; and (ii) the parties’ respective obligations to reimburse said Adviser for any draws by ICI on the Letter of Credit and for any expenses the Adviser incurs as agent in connection with the Letter of Credit;
 
WHEREAS, the parties desire to establish further: (i) the criteria by which the premiums for the Policies shall be allocated among the parties; (ii) the basis on which additional investment companies for which the Adviser or its respective affiliates may hereafter act as investment adviser may be added as named Insureds under the Policies; (iii) the criteria by which the amounts payable under the Policies shall be allocated among the parties covered under same; and (iv) the manner in which the Adviser will report to the Funds’ respective Boards information about claims and payments under any of the Policies;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
 
1.    The Adviser shall pay, on behalf of itself and the Affiliates, a percentage of the premium for the Policies, as shall be mutually agreed upon among the Adviser and the Funds.  From time to time, adjustments may be made to the percentage of the premiums paid by the
 

 
 
 

 

Adviser by mutual agreement among the Adviser and the Funds, subject to the approval by the Board of Directors or Trustees of the Funds, including a majority of the non-interested directors or trustees.  Each Series shall pay a portion of the balance of the premium of each Policy under which it is covered, which portion shall be determined as of a specified date, which date shall be the same for all Funds, as allocated in such equitable manner as mutually agreed upon by the Funds, subject to the approval by the Board of Directors or Trustees of the Funds, including a majority of the non-interested directors or trustees, which amounts are set forth on Schedule B to this Agreement.  From time to time, adjustments may be made by mutual agreement of the Funds to the portion of the balance of the premiums theretofore paid by a Series, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or Trustees of the Funds, including a majority of the non-interested directors or trustees, based on a subsequent change or changes in the net assets of one or more Series or the addition or withdrawal of a Fund or Funds pursuant to this Agreement.
 
2.    If each of the insurers issuing a Policy (the “Insurers”) is willing, with or without additional premium, to add, as an Insured under a Policy, any investment company not listed as a signatory to this Agreement for which any Adviser or an Affiliate thereof is investment adviser, administrator or underwriter, or to add, as an Insured under a Policy, any affiliate of any Adviser, the Funds and their respective Advisers agree: (a) that such addition may be made provided that the non-interested directors or trustees of the Funds covered by the Policy shall approve such addition; and (b) that such additional entity may become a party to this Agreement and be included within the terms “Fund” or “party”, provided that in each case such entity shall have executed and delivered to the Fund and the Adviser its written agreement to become a party hereto and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
 
3.    In the event that the claims of loss of two or more Insureds under the Policies are so related that the Insurer(s) are entitled to assert that the claims must be aggregated, or in the event that the aggregate recovery by two or more Insureds under the Policies is less than the aggregate loss incurred by the Insureds that gave rise to the claims, the following rules shall determine, as among the claimants, the allocation of the amounts payable under the Policies:
 
Such amounts shall be allocated first to any losses of the disinterested trustees/directors of the Funds for which indemnification is for any reason not available (subject to the limitations of Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”)) and the balance shall be allocated as follows: (i) between or among the Adviser and any Affiliate, as one party, and the Funds, as another party, first to the Funds up to the full amount of their losses and then to the Adviser and any Affiliate; or (ii) between or among Funds, the parties shall share proportionately in the proceeds based upon the amount of their respective claims.
 
4.    The Adviser as agent for their respective party covered under the ICI Policy has procured the Letter of Credit on the terms set forth in the Standby Letter of Credit Application and Agreement.  The Adviser agrees to pay all costs and expenses of the Letter of Credit as agent for its covered Funds but shall be liable therefor as principal only to the extent of the same percentage of such costs and expenses as the percentage of the applicable premium or premiums which it is required to pay hereunder.  In the event that ICI shall draw on the Letter of Credit, the Adviser shall reimburse the issuer of the Letter of Credit in full as agent for the covered Fund, but shall be liable therefor as principal only to the extent of the same percentage of such draw as the percentage of the applicable premium or premiums which it is required to pay hereunder.
 

- 2 -
 
 

 

Each covered Fund hereby authorizes the Adviser to be reimbursed by the Fund for the Series’ share of all costs and expenses, which share shall be determined by the Adviser as of a specified date that is the same for all Funds by calculating the proportion which the net assets of such Series on said date bears to the aggregate of the net assets of all of the covered Series on said date and applying said proportion to the balance of such costs and expenses or the reimbursement of the amount drawn on the Letter of Credit, as the case may be, after deducting the portion for which the Adviser is liable as principal.
 
5.    The Adviser shall provide, on a quarterly basis, a report to its Funds’ respective Boards which shall include:
 
 
 ( i)
a description of any claim made during the preceding calendar quarter under any of the Policies; and
 
 
 (ii)
a description of the current status of any matter previously reported by the Adviser to the Funds’ respective Boards pursuant to this Section 5.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser shall provide immediate notice to its Funds’ respective Boards of any claim made under any Policy if, in the Adviser’s reasonable judgment, the probable ultimate cost of the claim, including costs of defense, exceeds $10 million.
 
This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first above written, and shall remain in full force and effect during the effective period of the Policies as specified therein.  Any party may withdraw from this Agreement and the Policies upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to each of the other parties.  The withdrawing party shall be entitled to receive its proportionate share of any premium refund received from the Insurer.
 
The obligations of the Funds which are organized as Massachusetts business trusts, or any other investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust which may be added pursuant to Section 2 under this Agreement, with respect to a Series of such Funds, are not binding upon any of the trustees or holders of shares of beneficial interest of any such trust individually, but bind only the assets and property of such Series.
 
This Agreement shall supersede all prior premium sharing and allocation agreements entered into among the Funds and the applicable Adviser, acting on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims made under a Policy during a period prior to the effective date of this Agreement (and any recoveries related to any such claims) shall be subject to the terms of the premium sharing and allocation agreement in effect during that period.
