This bond does not afford coverage in favor of
any Employers of temporary personnel or of processors as set forth in
sub-sections (6) and (7) of Section 1(a) of this bond, as aforesaid, and upon
payment to the Insured by the Underwriter on account of any loss through
dishonest or fraudulent act(s) including Larceny or Embezzlement committed by
any of the partners, officers or employees of such Employers, whether acting
alone or in collusion with others, an assignment of such of the Insureds
rights and causes of action as it may have against such Employers by reason of such acts so committed shall, to the
extent of such payment, be given by the Insured to the Underwriter, and the
Insured shall execute all papers necessary to secure to the Underwriter the
rights herein provided for.
SECTION 4.
LOSS - NOTICE
- PROOF LEGAL-PROCEEDINGS
This bond is for the use and benefit only of
the Insured named in the Declarations and the Underwriter shall not be liable
hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured unless the
Insured, in its sole discretion and at its option, shall include such loss in
the Insureds proof of loss. At the earliest practicable moment after discovery
of any loss hereunder the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice
thereof and shall also within six months after such discovery furnish to the
Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars. If claim is made
under this bond for loss of securities or shares, the Underwriter shall not be
liable unless each of such securities or shares is identified in such proof of
loss by a certificate or bond number or, where such securities or shares are
uncertificated, by such identification means as agreed to by the Underwriter.
The Underwriter shall have thirty days after notice and proof of loss within
which to investigate the claim, but where the loss is clear and undisputed,
settlement shall be made within forty-eight hours; and this shall apply
notwithstanding the loss is made up wholly or in part of securities of which duplicates may be obtained. Legal
proceedings for recovery of any loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to
the
6
of 11
ICB005 Ed. 7-04
Ó
2004 The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. All
Right Reserved
expiration of sixty days after
such proof of loss is
filed with
the Underwriter nor after the expiration of twenty-four months from the
discovery of such loss, except that any action or proceedings to recover
hereunder on account of any judgment against the Insured in any suit mentioned
in General Agreement C or to recover attorneys fees paid in any such suit,
shall be begun within twenty-four months from the date upon which the judgment
in such suit shall become final. If any limitation embodied in this bond is
prohibited by any law controlling the construction hereof, such limitation
shall be deemed to be amended so as to be equal to the minimum period of
limitation permitted by such law.
Discovery
occurs when the Insured:
(a)
becomes aware of facts, or
(b)
receives written 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 a loss covered by the bond has been or will be incurred even though
the exact amount or details of loss may not be then known.
SECTION 5.
VALUATION OF
PROPERTY
The value of any Property, except books of
accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business,
for the loss of which a claim shall be made hereunder, shall be determined by
the average market value of such Property on the business day next preceding
the discovery of such loss; provided, however, that the value of any Property
replaced by the Insured prior to the payment of claim therefor shall be the
actual market value at the time of replacement; and further provided that in
case of a loss or misplacement of interim certificates, warrants, rights, or
other securities, the production of which is necessary to the exercise of
subscription, conversion, redemption or deposit privileges, the value thereof
shall be the market value of such privileges immediately preceding the
expiration thereof if said loss or misplacement is not discovered until after
their expiration. If no market price is quoted for such Property or for such
privileges, the value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by
arbitration.
In case of any loss or damage to Property
consisting of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the
conduct of its business, the Underwriter shall be
liable
under this bond only if such books or records
are actually reproduced and then for not more than the cost of blank books,
blank pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual
transcription or copying of data which shall have been furnished by the Insured
in order to reproduce such books and other records.
SECTION 6.
VALUATION OF
PREMISES AND FURNISHINGS
In case of damage to any office of the
Insured, or loss of or damage to the furnishings, fixtures, stationery,
supplies, equipment, safes or vaults therein, the Underwriter shall not be
liable for more than the actual cash value thereof, or for more than the actual
cost of their replacement or repair. The Underwriter may, at its election, pay
such actual cash value or make such replacement or repair. If the underwriter
and the Insured cannot agree upon such cash value or such cost of replacement
or repair, such shall be determined by arbitration.
SECTION 7.
LOST SECURITIES
If the Insured shall sustain a loss of
securities the total value of which is in excess of the limit stated in Item 3
of the Declarations of this bond, the liability of the Underwriter shall be
limited to payment for, or duplication of, securities having value equal to the
limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond.
If the Underwriter shall make payment to the
Insured for any loss of securities, the Insured shall thereupon assign to the
Underwriter all of the Insureds rights, title and interest in and to said
securities.
With respect to securities the value of which
do not exceed the Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss )
and for which the Underwriter may at its sole discretion and option and at the
request of the Insured issue a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect
replacement thereof, the Insured will pay the usual premium charged therefor
and will indemnify the Underwriter against all loss or expense that the
Underwriter may sustain because of the issuance of such Lost Instrument Bond or
Bonds.
With respect to securities the value of which
exceeds the Deductible Amount (at the time of discovery of the loss) and for
which the Underwriter may issue or arrange for the issuance of a Lost
Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured agrees that
it will pay as premium therefor a proportion of the
usual
premium
charged therefor, said proportion being equal to the
percentage that the Deductible Amount bears to the value of the securities upon
discovery of the loss, and that it will indemnify the issuer of said Lost
Instrument Bond or Bonds against all loss and expense that is not recoverable
from the Underwriter under the terms and conditions of this Investment Company
Blanket Bond subject to the Limit of Liability hereunder.
SECTION 8.
SALVAGE
in case of recovery, whether made by the
Insured or by the Underwriter, on account of any loss in excess of the 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 net amount of such
recovery, less the actual costs and expenses of making same, shall
7
of 11
ICB005 Ed. 7-04
Ó
2004 The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. All
Right Reserved
be
applied
to reimburse the Insured in full for the excess
portion of such loss, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid first in
reimbursement of the Underwriter and thereafter in reimbursement of the Insured
for that part of such loss within the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall
execute all necessary papers to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided
for herein.
SECTION
9.
NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF
LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY
At
all times prior to termination hereof, this bond shall continue in force for
the limit stated in the applicable sections of Item 3 of the Declarations of
this bond notwithstanding any previous 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 or premiums
which shall be payable or paid, the liability of the Underwriter under this bond
with respect to all loss resulting from:
(a)
any one act of burglary, robbery or holdup,
or attempt thereat, in which no Partner or Employee is concerned or implicated
shall be deemed to be one loss, or
(b)
any one unintentional or negligent act on the
part of any other person resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement
of Property, shall be deemed to be one loss, or
(c)
all wrongful acts, other than those specified
in (a) above, of any one person shall be deemed to be one loss, or
(d)
all wrongful acts, other than those specified
in (a) above, of one or more persons (which dishonest act(s) or act(s) of
Larceny or Embezzlement include, but are not limited to, the failure of an
Employee to report such acts of others) whose dishonest act or acts
intentionally or unintentionally, knowingly or unknowingly, directly or
indirectly, aid or aids in any way, or permits the continuation of, the
dishonest act or acts of any other person or persons shall be deemed to be one
loss with the act or acts of the persons aided, or
(e)
any one casualty or event other than those
specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d)
preceding, shall be deemed to be
one loss, and
shall
be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the
Declarations of this bond irrespective of the total amount of such loss or
losses and shall not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or from period
to period.
Sub-section
(c) is not applicable to any situation to which
the language of sub-section (d) applies.
SECTION 10.
LIMIT OF LIABILITY
With respect to any loss set forth in the
PROVIDED clause of Section 9 of this bond which is recoverable or recovered in
whole or in part under any other bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter to
the Insured or to any predecessor in interest of the Insured and terminated or
cancelled or allowed to expire and in which the period of discovery has not
expired at the time any such loss thereunder is discovered, the total liability
of the Underwriter under this bond and under other bonds or policies shall not
exceed, in the aggregate, the amount carried hereunder on such loss or the
amount available to the Insured under such other bonds or policies, as limited
by the terms and conditions thereof, for any such loss if the latter amount be
the larger.
SECTION 11.
OTHER
INSURANCE
If the Insured shall hold, as indemnity
against any loss covered hereunder, any valid and enforceable insurance or
suretyship, the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for such amount of
such loss which is in excess of the amount of such other insurance or
suretyship, not exceeding, however, the Limit of Liability of this bond
applicable to such loss.
SECTION 12.
DEDUCTIBLE
The Underwriter shall not be liable under any
of the Insuring Agreements of this bond on account of loss as specified,
respectively, in sub-sections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 9,
NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY, unless the
amount of such loss, after deducting the net amount of all reimbursement and/or
recovery obtained or made by the Insured, other than from any bond or policy of
insurance issued by an insurance company and covering such loss, or by the
Underwriter on account thereof prior to payment by the Underwriter of such
loss, shall exceed the Deductible Amount set forth in Item 3 of the
Declarations hereof (herein called Deductible Amount), and then for such excess
only, but in no event for more than the applicable Limit of Liability stated in
Item 3 of the Declarations.
The Insured will bear, in addition to the
Deductible Amount, premiums on Lost Instrument Bonds as set forth in Section 7.
There shall be no deductible applicable to
any loss under Insuring Agreement A sustained by any Investment Company named
as Insured herein.
SECTION 13.

ICB005 Ed. 7-04
Ó
2004 The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. All

Investment Company named as
-
Insured and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. The
Insured may terminate this bond as an entirety by furnishing written notice to
the Underwriter. When the Insured cancels, the Insured shall furnish written
notice to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., prior to 60
days before the effective date of the termination. The Underwriter shall notify
all other Investment Companies named as Insured of the receipt of such
termination notice and the termination cannot be effective prior to 60 days
after receipt of written notice by all other Investment Companies. Premiums are
earned until the termination date as set forth herein.
This Bond will terminate as to any one Insured
immediately upon taking over of such Insured by a receiver or other liquidator
or by State or Federal officials, or immediately upon 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, or immediately upon such Insured ceasing to
exist, whether through merger into another entity, or by disposition of all of
its assets.
The
Underwriter shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates in
accordance with the standard short rate cancellation tables if terminated by the Insured
or pro rata
if terminated for any other
reason.
This Bond shall terminate:
(a)
as to any Employee as soon as any partner,
officer or supervisory Employee of the Insured, who is not in collusion with
such Employee, shall learn of any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including
Larceny or Embezzlement on the part of such Employee
without prejudice to the loss of any Property then in transit
in the custody of such Employee (see Section 16(d)), or
(b)
as to any Employee 60 days after receipt by
each Insured and by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a written notice
from the Underwriter of its desire to terminate this bond as to such Employee,
or
(c)
as to any person, who is a partner, officer or
employee of any Electronic Data Processor covered under this bond, from and
after the time that the Insured or any partner or officer thereof not in
collusion with such person shall have knowledge or information that such person
has committed any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or
Embezzlement in the service of the Insured or otherwise, whether such act be
committed before or after the time this bond is effective.
SECTION 14.
RIGHTS
AFTER TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION
At any time prior to the termination or
cancellation of this bond as an entirety, whether by the Insured or the
Underwrite, the Insured may give the Underwriter notice that it desires under
this bond an additional period of 12 months within which to discover loss
sustained by the Insured prior to the effective date of such termination or
cancellation and shall pay an additional premium therefor.
Upon receipt of such notice from the Insured,
the Underwriter shall give its written consent thereto; provided, however, that
such additional period of time shall terminate immediately:
(a)
on the effective date of any other insurance
obtained by the Insured, its successor in business or any other party,
replacing in whole or in part the insurance afforded by this bond, whether or
not such other insurance provides coverage for loss sustained prior to its
effective date, or
(b)
upon takeover of the Insured
s
business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or
liquidator, acting or appointed for this purpose without the necessity of the
Underwriter giving notice of such termination. In the event that such
additional period of time is terminated, as provided above, the Underwriter
shall refund any unearned premium.
The right to purchase such additional period
for the discovery of loss may not be exercised by any State or Federal official
or agency, or by a receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over the
Insureds business for the operation or for the liquidation thereof or for any
purpose.

Company, Midwest Depository
Trust
Company, Pacific Securities Depositary Trust Company, and Philadelphia
Depository Trust Company, hereinafter called Corporations, to the extent of the
Insureds interest therein as effected by the making of appropriate entries on
the books and records of such Corporations shall be deemed to be Property.
The words Employee and Employees shall be
deemed to include the officers, partners, clerks and other employees of the New
York Stock Exchange, Boston Stock Exchange, Midwest Stock Exchange,

Pacific Stock Exchange and Philadelphia Stock
Exchange, hereinafter called Exchanges, and of the above named Corporations,
and of any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the
systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by
such Corporations, and any employee or any recognized service company, while
such officers, partners, clerks and other employees and employees of service
companies perform services for such Corporations in the operation of such
systems. For the purpose
of
the above definition a
recognized service company shall be any company providing clerks or other
personnel to the said Exchanges or Corporations on a contract basis.
The Underwriter shall not be liable on
account of any loss(es) in connection with the central handling of securities
within the systems established and maintained by such Corporations, unless such
loss(es) shall be in excess of the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any
bond or policy of insurance indemnifying such Corporations against such
loss(es), and then the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the
Insureds share of such excess loss(es), but in no event for more than the
Limit of Liability applicable hereunder,
For the purpose of determining the Insureds
share
of excess loss(es) it shall be deemed that the
Insured has an interest in any certificate representing any security included
within such systems equivalent to the interest the Insured then has in all
certificates representing the same security included within such systems and
that such Corporations shall use their best judgment in apportioning the
amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of insurance
indemnifying such Corporations against such loss(es) in connection with the
central handling of securities within such systems among all those having an interest
as recorded by appropriate entries in the books and records of such
Corporations in Property involved in such loss(es) on the basis that each such
interest shall share in the amount(s) so recoverable or recovered in the ratio
that the value of each such interest bears to the total value all such
interests and that the Insureds share of such excess loss(es) shall be the amount of the Insureds interest in such Property
in excess of the amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by such Corporations.
This bond does not afford coverage in favor
of such Corporations or Exchanges or any nominee in whose name is registered
any security included within the systems for the central handling of securities
established and maintained by such Corporations, and upon payment to the
Insured by the Underwriter on account of any loss(es) within the systems, an
assignment of such of the Insureds rights and causes of action as it may have
against such Corporations or Exchanges shall to the extent of such payment, be
given by the Insured to the Underwriter, and the Insured shall execute all
papers necessary to secure the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.
SECTION 16.

INCLUDED AS INSURED
If more than one corporation,
co-partnership or person or any combination of them be included as the Insured
herein:

hereunder for loss or losses sustained by any one or more or all of them shall

such loss were sustained by any one of them;
(b)
the one first named herein shall be deemed
authorized to make, adjust and receive and enforce payment of all claims
hereunder and shall be deemed to be the agent of the others for such purposes

Investment Company with a copy of the bond and with any amendment thereto,
together with a copy of each formal filing of the settlement of each such claim
prior to the execution of such settlement;
(c)
the Underwriter shall not be responsible for
the proper application of any payment made hereunder to said first named
Insured;
(d)
knowledge possessed or discovery made by any
partner, officer of supervisory Employee of any Insured shall for the purposes
of Section 4 and Section 13 of this bond constitute knowledge or discovery by

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.
SECTION 17.
NOTICE
AND CHANGE OF CONTROL
Upon the Insured obtaining knowledge of a
transfer of its outstanding voting securities which results in a change in
control (as set forth in Section 2(a) (9) of the Investment Company Act of
1940) of the Insured, the Insured shall within thirty (30) days of such
knowledge give written notice to the Underwriter setting forth:

(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.
Failing

bond, effective upon the date of stock transfer for any loss in which any
transferee is concerned or implicated.
Such
notice is not required to be given in the case of an Insured which is an
Investment Company.
SECTION 18.
CHANGE
OR MODIFCATION
This bond or any instrument amending or
effecting same may not be changed or modified orally. No changes in or
modification thereof shall be effective unless made by written endorsement
issued to form a part hereof over the signature of the Underwriters Authorized
Representative. When a bond covers only one Investment Company no change or
modification which would adversely affect the rights of the Investment Company
shall be effective prior to 60 days after written notification has been
furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., by the
Insured or by the Underwriter. If more than one Investment Company is named as
the Insured herein, the Underwriter shall give written notice to each
Investment Company and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington,
D.C., not less than 60 days prior to the effective date of any change or
modification which would adversely affect the rights of such Investment
Company.

1.
The first paragraph of Section 13.
TERMINATION under Conditions and Limitations is amended by adding the
following:
Cancellation of this bond by the Underwriter is subject to the
following provisions:
If the bond has been in effect for 60 days or less, it may be canceled
by the Underwriter for any reason. Such cancellation shall be effective 60 days
after the Underwriter mails a notice of cancellation to the first-named Insured
at the mailing address shown in the bond. However, if the bond has been in
effect for more than 60 days or is a renewal, then cancellation must be based on
one of the followings grounds:
(A)
non-payment of premium however that a notice of
cancellation on this ground shall inform the insured of the amount due;
(B)
conviction of crime arising out of acts
increasing the hazard insured against;
(C)
discovery of fraud or material
misrepresentation in the obtaining of the bond or in the presentation of claim
thereunder;
(D)
after issuance of the bond or after the last
renewal date, discovery of an act or omission, or a violation of any bond
condition that substantially and materially increases the hazard Insured
against, and which occurred subsequent to inception of the current bond period;
(E)
material change in the nature or extent of
the risk, occurring after issuance or last annual renewal anniversary date of
the bond, which causes the risk of loss to be substantially and materially
increased beyond that contemplated at the time the bond was issued or last
renewed;
(F)
the cancellation is required pursuant to a
determination by the superintendent that continuation of the present premium
volume of the Insurer would jeopardize the Insurers solvency or be hazardous
to the interest of the Insureds, the Insurers creditors or the public;
(G)
a determination by the superintendent that the
continuation of the bond would violate, or would place the Insurer in violation
of, any provision of the New York State Insurance laws.
(H)
where the Insurer has reason to believe, in
good faith and with sufficient cause, that there is a possible risk or danger
that the Insured property will be destroyed by the Insured for purpose of
collecting the insurance proceeds, provided, however, that:
(i)
a notice of cancellation on this ground
shall inform the Insured in plain language that the Insured must act within ten
days if review by the Insurance Department of the State of New York of the
ground for cancellation is desired, and
(ii)
notice of cancellation on this ground shall
be provided simultaneously by the Insurer to the Insurance Department of the
State of New York.

(iii)
upon written request of the Insured made to the
Insurance Department of the State of New York within ten days from the
Insureds receipt of notice of cancellation on this ground, the department
shall undertake a review of the ground for cancellation to determine whether or
not the Insurer has satisfied the criteria for cancellation specified in this
subparagraph; if after such review the department finds not sufficient cause
for cancellation on this ground, the notice of cancellation on this ground
shall be deemed null and void.
Cancellation based on one of the above grounds shall be effective 60
days after the notice of cancellation is mailed or delivered to the Named
Insured, at the address shown on the bond, and to its authorized agent or
broker.
2.
If the
Underwriter elects not to replace a bond at the termination of the Bond Period,
it shall notify the Insured not more than 120 days nor less than 60 days before
termination. If such notice is given late, the bond shall continue in effect
for 60 days after such notice is given. The Aggregate Limit of Liability shall
not be increased or reinstated. The notice not to replace shall be mailed to
the Insured and its broker or agent.
3.
If the
Underwriter elects to replace the bond, but with a change of limits, reduced
coverage, increased deductible, additional exclusion, or upon increased
premiums in excess of ten percent (exclusive of any premium increase as a
results of experience rating), the Underwriter must mail written notice to the
Insured and its agent or broker not more than 120 days nor less than 60 days
before replacement. If such notice is given late, the replacement bond shall be
in effect with the same terms, conditions and rates as the terminated bond for
60 days after such notice is given.
4
The
Underwriter may elect to simply notify the Insured that the bond will either be
not renewed or renewed with different terms, conditions or rates. In this
event, the Underwriter will inform the Insured that a second notice will be
sent at a later date specifying the Underwriters exact intention. The
Underwriter shall inform the Insured that, in the meantime, coverage shall
continue on the same terms, conditions and rates as the expiring bond until the
expiration date of the bond or 60 days after the second notice is mailed or
delivered, whichever is later.
Nothing herein contained shall be held to vary, alter, waive, or extend
any of the terms, conditions, provisions, agreements or limitations of the
above mentioned Bond or Policy, other than as above stated.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
AGREEMENT CONCERNING ALLOCATION OF
FIDELITY BOND PREMIUMS AND RECOVERIES
Amended and Restated Agreement dated the 1st day of July, 2008 among
each Fund listed on Schedule A (collectively, the Funds).
WHEREAS, each Fund is a named insured under a fidelity bond (the
Bond) written by The Travelers Companies, Inc. (the Insurer) in the amount
of $20 million; and
WHEREAS, the Funds desire to enter into an agreement pursuant to Rule
17g-1(f) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940
Act);
NOW, THEREFORE, the Funds do hereby agree as follows:
1. The premium payable on the Bond by each Fund shall be
allocated in proportion to each Funds average net assets.
2. In the event that recovery is received under the Bond as
a result of a loss sustained by a Fund and one or more other Funds, such Fund
shall receive a share of the recovery at least equal to the amount which it
would have received had it provided and maintained a separate fidelity bond
under Rule 17g-1(d) under the 1940 Act (Separate Bond).
3. In the event that the claims of loss of the Funds are so
related that the Insurer is entitled to assert that the claims must be
aggregated with the results that the total amount payable on such claims is
limited to the face amount of the Bond, the following rules for determining the
priorities among the Funds for satisfaction of the claims under the Bond shall
apply:
A. First, all claims of
each Fund which have been duly proven and established under the Bond shall be
satisfied up to the minimum amount of a Separate Bond for such Fund; and
B. Second, the
remaining amount of insurance, if any, shall then be applied to the claims of
the Funds in proportion to the total of the unsatisfied amount of the claims of
each Fund.
4. If the Funds investment adviser, distributor or an
affiliate of either in the future serves as investment adviser, sub-investment
adviser, administrator or distributor to any other investment company (an
Additional Fund), and if the Insurer is willing to add the Additional Fund as
a named insured under the Bond, such Additional Fund shall become subject to
this Agreement upon addition to the Bond and notice of such addition shall be
given to each of the Funds hereunder;
provided
