(Applicable to all Insuring Agreements or Coverages now or hereafter forming
part of this bond)

attorneys' fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense, whether or not
successful, whether or not fully litigated on the merits and whether or not
settled, of any suit or legal proceeding brought against the Insured to
enforce the Insured's liability or alleged liability on account of 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 being guilty of any dishonest or fraudulent act(s),
including Larceny or Embezzlement; or

necessary to the proper defense of such suit or legal proceeding.

than the amount recoverable under this bond, or if a Deductible Amount is
applicable,or both, the liability of the Underwriter under this General
Agreement 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 is not so recoverable. Such indemnity shall be in addition to the Limit
of Liability for the applicable Insuring Agreement or Coverage.

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 Insured's 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
Insured's 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 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

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 Insured's 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 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. TERMINATION
The Underwriter may terminate this bond as an entirety by furnishing
written notice specifying the termination date, which cannot be prior
to 60 days after the receipt of such written notice by each 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 Underwriter, 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 Insured's business for
the operation or for the liquidation thereof or for any purpose.
SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES
Securities included in the system for the central handling of securities
established and maintained by Depository Trust Company, Midwest Depository
Trust Company, Pacific Securities Depository Trust Company, and Philadelphia
Depository Trust Company, hereinafter called Corporations, to the extent of
the Insured's 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 Insured's 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 Insured's 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 Insured's share of such excess loss(es) shall
be the amount of the Insured's 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
Insured's 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. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED
If more than one corporation, co-partnership or person or any combination
of them be included as the Insured herein:
(a) the total liability of the Underwriter hereunder for loss or losses
sustained by any one or more or all of them shall not exceed the limit
for which the Underwriter would be liable hereunder if all 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 and for the giving
or receiving of any notice required or permitted to be given by the terms
hereof, provided that the Underwriter shall furnish each named 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 all
the Insured; and
(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.
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:
(a) the names of the transferors and transferees (or the names of the
beneficial owners if the voting securities are requested 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.
Failing to give the required notice shall result in termination of coverage
of this 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 MODIFICATION
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 Underwriter's 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.
