GENERAL
AGREEMENTS
A.
|
ADDITIONAL
OFFICES OR EMPLOYEES--CONSOLIDATION OR
MERGER--NOTICE
|
|
1.
|
Except
as provided in paragraph 2 below, this Bond shall apply to any additional
office(s) established by the Insured during the Bond Period and to all
Employees during the Bond Period, without the need to give notice thereof
or pay additional premiums to the Underwriter for the Bond
Period.
|
|
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.
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
5
direct
compensatory damages resulting directly from a misappropriation, or measurable
diminution in value, of Property.

BOND, INCLUDING THE FOREGOING INSURING AGREEMENTS

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

|
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

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.
|
|
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

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

than one entity is named as the Insured:
|

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

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,

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

Insured,

the purposes of Sections 4 and 13, knowledge possessed or discovery made

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.

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

|
|
c.
|
"Computer

Third Party" means any person or entity that, at the time of the Computer
Fraud, is not an Authorized User.
|

|
|
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,

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.
|

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)
|
immediately
by written notice from the Insured to the
Underwriter.

Except as
above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend any of the
terms of this Bond.

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%).

INSURANCE
ALLOCATION AGREEMENT
THIS
INSURANCE ALLOCATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of October 31, 2009,
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. (sometimes individually hereinafter referred
to as a “party” or collectively as “parties”).
WHEREAS,
the Funds have been named as insured parties (“Insureds”) under joint insured
fidelity bonds (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Bond” and
collectively as the “Bonds”) 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”);
WHEREAS,
ICI Mutual Insurance Company (“ICIM”) requires, as a condition to issuing
its Bond (the “ICIM Bond”), 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 ICIM;
WHEREAS,
the parties have appointed the Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. 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
ICIM Bond; and (ii) the parties’ respective obligations to reimburse
the Adviser for any draws by ICIM 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 Bonds shall be allocated among the parties; (ii) the basis
on which additional investment companies or Series for which the Adviser or its
affiliates may hereafter act as investment adviser may be added as named
Insureds under the Bonds; (iii) the criteria by which the amounts payable
under the Bonds 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
Bonds;
NOW,
THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1.
Each Fund
shall pay a portion of the premium of each Bond 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 of the Boards, 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 Fund, subject to the approval of the Boards,
including a majority of the non-interested directors or trustees, based on a
subsequent change or changes in the gross assets of one or more Funds that
affects the amount which the Fund would have paid had it provided and maintained
a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d)
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”) or the
addition or withdrawal of a Fund or Funds pursuant to this
Agreement.
2.
If each
of the insurers issuing a Bond (the “Insurers”) is willing, with or without
additional premium, to add, as an Insured under a Bond, any investment company
not listed as a signatory to this Agreement for which the Adviser or an
affiliate thereof is investment adviser, administrator or underwriter, which
investment company may be included in the Bond pursuant to Rule 17g-1(b)
under the Act, the Funds agree (a) that such addition may be made provided
that the non-interested directors or trustees of the Funds covered by the Bond
shall approve such addition and (b) that such additional investment company
may become a party to this Agreement and be included within the terms “Fund” or
“party”, provided that in each case such investment company shall have executed
and delivered to the Funds 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 Bonds are so
related that the Insurer(s) is (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 Bonds 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 priority of satisfaction of the claims under the
Bonds:
Each Fund
claimant with respect to the same claim shall receive the lesser of:
(i) proceeds equal to the full amount of its claim; or (ii) the amount
which it would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured
bond with a minimum coverage which such Fund would have been required to carry
by Rule 17g-1(d) under the Act at the time the claim arose.
4.
The
Adviser as agent for each party covered under the ICIM Bond 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 the covered Funds. In
the event that ICIM 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
Funds. Each covered Fund hereby authorizes the Adviser to be
reimbursed by the Fund for the Fund’s or 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 Fund on said date bears to the aggregate of the net assets of all
of the covered Funds and/or the net assets of a Series within a Fund to the net
assets of all of the Funds 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.
5.
The
Adviser shall provide, on a quarterly basis, a report to the Funds’ respective
Boards which shall include:
(i)
|
a
description of any claim made during the preceding calendar quarter under
any of the Bonds; 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.
|
6.
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 Bonds as
specified therein. Any party may withdraw from this Agreement and the
Bonds upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to each of the other parties and the
Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with Rule 17g-1 under the
Act. The withdrawing party shall be entitled to receive its
proportionate share of any premium refund received from the
Insurer.
7.
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 Adviser, acting on its own behalf and on
behalf of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims made
under a Bond 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.
[The
remainder of this page is intentionally blank.]
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their
officers, as appropriate, hereunto duly authorized all as of the day and year
first above written.
