Loss
to the INSURED directly resulting from the INSURED having, in good faith, and
in the ordinary course of business, transferred or delivered Funds,
certificated securities or uncertificated securities through a Computer System
covered under the Computer Systems Fraudulent Entry Coverage in reliance upon a
fraudulent instruction received through a Telefacsimile Device, and which
instruction was received at the INSUREDs offices by those Employees of the

purports and reasonably appears to have
originated from

another office of the INSURED, or

Deductible stated in Item 3. of the Declarations Page, the instruction was

unless the liability arises from a loss covered by the Telefacsimile Transfer
Fraud Coverage and would be imposed on the INSURED without the existence of the
contract.
Proof
of loss for claim under this Coverage must include a copy of the document
reproduced by the Telefacsimile Device.
X.
UNCOLLECTIBLE ITEMS OF DEPOSIT
Loss
directly resulting from the INSURED, in good faith and in the ordinary course
of business, crediting an account of a Customer, shareholder or subscriber

crediting of said account causes:
a.
redemptions or withdrawals of the account
to be effected,
b.
shares to be issued, or
c.
payment of dividends,
from
an account of an Investment Company.
In
order for coverage to apply under this Coverage, the INSURED must hold Items
of Deposit for the minimum number of days stated in the application before
permitting any redemptions or withdrawals of the account, issuing any shares or

procedures have been utilized and have failed to result in collection.

expense incurred by the INSURED for an audit or examination required by any
governmental regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization and conducted
by such authority, organization or their appointee because of the discovery of
loss sustained by the INSURED and covered by this bond but only for the part of
the audit or examination caused by said loss.
XII.

of any and all sums which the INSURED shall become obligated to pay by reason
of the liability imposed upon the INSURED by law for damages:

order, draft, made or drawn on a Customers account, which bears the
signature or endorsement of one other than a person whose name and signature is
on file with the INSURED as a signatory on such account. It shall be a condition precedent to the
INSUREDS right of recovery under this Coverage that the INSURED have on file
signatures of all persons who are signatories on such account.

amounts recovered under any bond or policy of insurance issued by an insurance
company and covering such loss, or recoveries by the UNDERWRITER on account
thereof prior to payment by the UNDERWRITER of such loss, shall exceed the

VII.
ATTORNEYS FEES AND COURT COSTS
The

costs incurred and paid by the INSURED in the defense, whether or not
successful, fully litigated on the merits or settled, of any suit or legal
proceeding brought against the INSURED to enforce the INSUREDS liability or

guilty of Larceny or Embezzlement if such Employee were prosecuted.
The
INSURED shall at the earliest practicable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days
after the discovery of any such claim, suit or legal proceeding, and at the
request of the UNDERWRITER, furnish copies of all pleadings and relevant papers
to the UNDERWRITER. The UNDERWRITER may,

legal proceeding. The defense by the
UNDERWRITER shall be in the name of the INSURED through attorneys chosen by the
UNDERWRITER. The INSURED shall provide
all reasonable information and assistance required by the UNDERWRITER for such
defense.
If
the amount demanded in a suit or legal proceeding is greater than the Limit of
Liability stated in ITEM 3. of the DECLARATIONS for the applicable Coverage, or
if a Deductible is applicable, or both, the UNDERWRITERS liability for
attorneys fees and court costs incurred in defending all or part of such suit
or legal proceeding is limited to the proportion of such attorneys fees and
court costs incurred that the Limit of Liability stated in ITEM 3. of the
DECLARATIONS for the applicable Coverage bears to the total of the amount
demanded in such suit or legal proceeding.
All
amounts indemnified by the UNDERWRITER for attorneys fees and court costs
shall be in addition to the Limit of Liability stated in ITEM 3. of the
DECLARATIONS.
If
the UNDERWRITER declines to defend the INSURED, no settlement or judgment against
the INSURED shall determine the existence, extent or amount of coverage under
this bond without the prior written consent of the UNDERWRITER and the
UNDERWRITER shall not be liable for any costs, fees and expenses incurred by
the INSURED.
VIII.
VALUATION
OF PROPERTY
The
value of any loss of Property, other than books of account or other records
used by the INSURED in the conduct of its business, shall be determined by the
average market value of such Property on the business day immediately preceding
discovery of such loss except that the value of any Property replaced by the
INSURED with the consent of the UNDERWRITER prior to the settlement of any
claim for such Property, shall be the actual market value at the time of
replacement.
In
the event of a loss of interim certificates, warrants, rights or other
securities, (as used herein, options) which need to be presented to exercise
the subscription, conversion, redemption or deposit privileges, their value
shall be:
a.
if such options have not expired, the
average market value of such options on the business day immediately preceding
the discovery of such loss, or the actual market value at the time of agreed
replacement as provided in the preceding paragraph, or
b.
if such options have expired at the time
their loss is discovered, their market value immediately preceding their
expiration, or
c.
if no market price is quoted for such Property
or for such options, the value shall be determined by agreement between the
parties, or arbitration if the parties are unable to agree to the value.
The
value of any loss of Property consisting of books of account or other records
used by the INSURED in the conduct of its business shall be the amount paid by
the INSURED for blank books, blank pages, or other materials which replace the
lost books of account or other records, plus the cost of labor paid by the
INSURED for the actual transcription or copying of data to reproduce such books
of account or other records.
IX.
VALUATION OF PREMISES AND FURNISHINGS
In
the event of loss or damage to any office of the INSURED or to the furnishings,
fixtures, supplies, equipment, safes or vaults, the UNDERWRITER shall not be
liable for more than the actual cash value thereof, or for more than the actual
cost of replacement or repair. The
UNDERWRITER may, at its option, pay actual cash value or make replacement or
repair. In the event the UNDERWRITER and
the INSURED cannot agree upon the actual cash value or the cost of replacement
or repair, it shall be determined by arbitration.
X.
SECURITIES SETTLEMENT
In
the event of a loss of securities covered under this bond, the UNDERWRITER may,
at its sole option, purchase replacement securities, tender the value of the
securities in money, or issue its indemnity in order to allow the issuance of
replacement securities.
Indemnity
will be required from the INSURED under the terms of this Section against
all loss, cost or expense arising from the replacement of securities by the
UNDERWRITERS. The amount of such indemnity
from the INSURED shall be:
(1)
for securities having a value of less
than or equal to the applicable Deductible one hundred percent (100%);
(2)
for securities having a value greater
than the Deductible but within the applicable Limit of Liability the
percentage that the Deductible bears to the value of the securities;
(3)
for securities having a value greater
than the applicable Limit of Liability the percentage that the Deductible and
the portion in excess of the applicable Limit of Liability bears to the value
of the securities.
The
value referred to in (1), (2), and (3) above is the value provided for in SECTION VIII.
VALUATION OF PROPERTY, regardless of the value of such securities at the time
the loss under the UNDERWRITERS indemnity is sustained.
The
UNDERWRITER is not required to issue its indemnity for any portion of a loss of
securities which is not covered by this bond; however, the UNDERWRITER may do
so at its sole option.
The
INSURED shall pay the applicable proportion of the UNDERWRITERS premium charge
for the UNDERWRITERS indemnity as set for in (1), (2), and (3) above. No portion of the Limit of Liability shall be
used as payment of premium for any indemnity purchased by the INSURED to obtain
replacement securities.
XI.
SUBROGATION ASSIGNMENT RECOVERY
In
the event of a payment under this bond by the UNDERWRITER, the UNDERWRITER
shall be subrogated to all of the INSUREDS rights of recovery against any
person or entity to the extent of such payment.
On the request of the UNDERWRITER, the INSURED shall deliver to the
UNDERWRITER an assignment of the INSUREDS rights, title and interest and
causes of action against any person or entity to the extent of such payment.
Recoveries,
whether realized by the UNDERWRITER or by the INSURED, shall be applied after
deducting the expense of such recovery, first to the INSUREDS loss which would
otherwise have been paid except that it exceeds the applicable Limit of
Liability, second, to the UNDERWRITER to amounts paid in settlement of the
INSUREDS claim and third, to the INSURED to the applicable Deductible. Recovery from reinsurance and/or indemnity of
the UNDERWRITER shall not be a recovery under this section.
XII.
COOPERATION OF INSURED
At
the UNDERWRITERS request and at reasonable times and places designated by the
UNDERWRITER, the INSURED shall submit to examination by the UNDERWRITER and
subscribe to the same under oath, produce for the UNDERWRITERS examination and
copying, at its own expense all relevant records, and cooperate with the
UNDERWRITER in all matters pertaining to the loss.
The
INSURED shall execute all papers and provide assistance to secure for the
UNDERWRITER the rights and causes of action provided for under this bond. The INSURED shall do nothing after loss to
prejudice such rights or causes of action.
XIII.
OTHER
INSURANCE
Coverage
under this bond shall apply excess over any valid and collectible insurance,
indemnity or suretyship obtained by or on behalf of the INSURED or a Transportation
Company or other entity on whose premises the loss occurred or which employed
the person who caused the loss or engaged the messenger conveying the Property
which was the subject of the loss.

AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE ALLOCATION OF
FIDELITY BOND PREMIUMS AND RECOVERIES
AGREEMENT
dated the 18th day of December 2008 among RMR Real Estate Fund, RMR
Hospitality and Real Estate Fund, RMR F.I.R.E. Fund, RMR Preferred Dividend
Fund, RMR Dividend Capture Fund, RMR Funds Series Trust, RMR Real Estate
Income Fund and New RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund (each, a Fund,
together, the Funds):
WHEREAS
, each of the Funds is an investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act);
WHEREAS
, each of the Funds is a named insured under certain
fidelity bond coverage that may be in effect from time to time (the Fidelity
Bond), which Fidelity Bond is intended to be in full compliance with Rule 17g-1
under the 1940 Act; and
WHEREAS
, the Funds desire to enter into an agreement in
order to meet the requirements of Rule 17g-1(f) and to assure that
premiums on the Fidelity Bond and any recovery received under the Fidelity Bond
are allocated in a fair and equitable manner;
NOW,
THEREFORE
, the Funds do hereby agree as follows:
1.
Joint Insured Bond.
The Funds have procured from The Hartford
Casualty Insurance Company, a reputable fidelity insurance company, the
Fidelity Bond insuring each Fund against larceny and embezzlement of its
securities and funds by such of its officers and employees who may, singly or
jointly with others, have access to such securities or funds, directly or
through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the
disposition of such securities. The Fidelity Bond names each Fund as an
insured, and complies with the requirements established by Rule 17g-1
under the 1940 Act.
2.
Amount.
The Fidelity Bond is in an amount, based upon
the total assets of each Fund, equal to or in excess of the aggregate of the
minimum coverage required for each of the Funds under Rule 17g-1. The
minimum coverage required for a Fund under Rule 17g-1(d)(1) shall be
referred to herein as the
Minimum Coverage Amount
.
3.
Allocation of Premium.
As of the date of this Agreement and on the
date any renewal or additional premium is due, each Fund will pay the
percentage of the premium due under the Fidelity Bond which is proportionate to
the ratio of (a) the amount of premium that would have been payable by the
Fund had the Fund separately obtained a fidelity bond equal to its Minimum
Coverage Amount, to (b) the aggregate amount of the premiums that would
have been payable by all Funds had each Fund separately obtained a fidelity
bond equal to its Minimum Coverage Amount.
1
4.
Allocation of
Proceeds.
a.
In the event any recovery
under the Fidelity Bond is received as a result of a loss sustained by any of
the Funds, then each Fund sustaining such loss shall receive an equitable and
proportionate share of the recovery, said proportion to be established by the
ratio that the claim bears to the total amount claimed by all participants, but
at least equal to the amount which each such Fund would have received had it
provided and maintained a single insured bond with the Minimum Coverage Amount.
b.
If the recovery is
inadequate to indemnify fully each such Fund sustaining a loss, the recovery
shall be allocated among such Funds as follows:
i.
Each Fund sustaining a loss
shall be allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the
Minimum Coverage Amount.
ii.
The remaining portion of the
proceeds shall be allocated to each Fund sustaining a loss not fully covered by
the allocation under subparagraph (i) in the proportion that each such
Funds gross assets as of the end of the month preceding the loss bears to the
sum of the gross assets of all such Funds. If such allocation would result in
any Fund sustaining a loss receiving a portion of the recovery in excess of the
loss actually sustained by such Fund, the aggregate of such excess portions
shall be allocated among the other Funds whose losses would not be fully
indemnified in the same proportion as each such Funds gross assets bear to the
sum of the gross assets of all Funds entitled to receive a share of the excess
(both determined as of the month end of each Fund preceding the loss). Any
allocation in excess of a loss actually sustained by any such Fund shall be
reallocated in the same manner.
5.
Additional Funds.
If in the future any additional fund is
created (an Additional Fund), and if the insurer is willing to add the
Additional Fund as a named insured under the Fidelity Bond, provided that the
amount of the Fidelity Bond is increased by an amount such that the Fidelity
Bond will continue to comply with Section 2 hereof, and upon giving
written notice to the funds then covered under the Fidelity Bond (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, the Funds and any Additional Funds added as named
insureds under the Fidelity Bond pursuant to this Section 5 after the date
of this Agreement), such Additional Fund shall become subject to this
Agreement.
2
6.
Limitation of Liability.
The obligations of each Fund, entered into in
the name or on behalf of the Fund, by any of the Trustees, officers,
representatives or agents are made not individually, but in such capacities,
and are not binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, officers,
representatives or agents of the Fund personally, but bind only the respective
Fund property, and all persons dealing with any class of shares of the Funds
must look solely to the Fund property belonging to such class for the
enforcement of any claims against the Funds.
7.
No Assignment.
This Agreement is not assignable.
8.
Governing Law.
The Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
9.
Notices.
All notices and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the appropriate Fund at
400 Centre Street, Newton, Massachusetts 02458.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned entities has caused this Agreement to
be executed by an officer thereunder duly authorized as of the date first written
above.
