The COMPANY, in consideration of payment of the required
premium, and in reliance on the APPLICATION and all other
statements made and information furnished to the COMPANY by the
ASSURED, and subject to the DECLARATIONS made a part of this
Bond and to all other terms and conditions of this Bond, agrees
to pay the ASSURED for:
Insuring Clauses
Employee
1. Loss resulting directly from Larceny or Embezzlement
committed by any Employee, alone or in collusion with others.
On Premises
2. Loss of Property resulting directly from robbery,
burglary, false pretenses, common law or statutory larceny,
misplacement, mysterious unexplainable disappearance, damage,

of the ASSURED, while such Property is lodged or deposited at
premises located anywhere.
In Transit
3. Loss of Property resulting directly from common law or
statutory larceny, misplacement, mysterious unexplainable
disappearance, damage or destruction, while the Property is in
transit anywhere:
a. in an armored motor vehicle, including loading and
unloading thereof,
b. in the custody of a natural person acting as a
messenger of the ASSURED, or
c. in the custody of a Transportation Company and being
transported in a conveyance other than an armored motor vehicle
provided, however, that covered Property transported in such
manner is limited to the following:
(1) written records,
(2) securities issued in registered form, which are not
endorsed or are restrictively endorsed, or
(3) negotiable instruments not payable to bearer, which are
not endorsed or are restrictively endorsed.
Coverage under this INSURING CLAUSE begins immediately
on the receipt of such Property by the natural person or
Transportation Company and ends immediately on delivery to the
premises of the addressee or to any representative of the
addressee located anywhere.
Forgery Or Alteration
4. Loss resulting directly from:
a. Forgery on, or fraudulent material alteration of, any
bills of exchange, checks, drafts, acceptances, certificates of

orders or directions to pay sums certain in money, or receipts
for the withdrawal of Property, or
b. transferring, paying or delivering any funds or other
Property, or establishing any credit or giving any value in
reliance on any written instructions, advices or applications
directed to the ASSURED authorizing or acknowledging the
transfer, payment, delivery or receipt of funds or other
Property, which instructions, advices or applications
fraudulently purport to bear the handwritten signature of any
customer of the ASSURED, or shareholder or subscriber to shares
of an Investment Company, or of any financial institution or
Employee but which instructions, advices or applications either
bear a Forgery or have been fraudulently materially altered
without the knowledge and consent of such customer, shareholder,
subscriber, financial institution or Employee;
excluding, however, under this INSURING CLAUSE any loss covered
under INSURING CLAUSE 5. of this Bond, whether or not coverage
for INSURING CLAUSE 5. is provided for in the DECLARATIONS of
this Bond.
For the purpose of this INSURING CLAUSE, a mechanically
reproduced facsimile signature is treated the same as a
handwritten signature.
Extended Forgery
5. Loss resulting directly from the ASSURED having, in
good faith, and in the ordinary course of business, for its own
account or the account of others in any capacity:
a. acquired, accepted or received, accepted or received,

(3) be Counterfeit, or
b. guaranteed in writing or witnessed any signatures on
any transfer, assignment, bill of sale, power of attorney,

such collateral.

reproduced facsimile signature is treated the same as a
handwritten signature.

in good faith of any Counterfeit money.

7. Loss resulting directly from surrender of Property away
from an office of the ASSURED as a result of a threat

defined in Section 1.e. (1), (2) and (5), a Relative or invitee
of such Employee, or a resident of the household of such
Employee, who is, or allegedly is, being held captive provided,

a. the Employee who receives the threat has made a
reasonable effort to notify an officer of the ASSURED who is not
involved in such threat, and
b. the ASSURED has made a reasonable effort to notify the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and local law enforcement

tangible personal property in which such Employee has a legal or
equitable interest.

a. entries of data into, or
b. changes of data elements or programs within,
a Computer System, provided the fraudulent entry or change
causes:
(1) funds or other property to be transferred, paid or
delivered,
(2) an account of the ASSURED or of its customer to be
added, deleted, debited or credited, or
(3) an unauthorized account or a fictitious account to be
debited or credited.
Voice Initiated Funds Transfer Instruction
9. Loss resulting directly from Voice Initiated Funds
Transfer Instruction directed to the ASSURED authorizing the
transfer of dividends or redemption proceeds of Investment
Company shares from a Customer's account, provided such Voice
Initiated Funds Transfer Instruction was:

the ASSURED specifically authorized to receive the Voice
Initiated Funds Transfer Instruction,
b. made by a person purporting to be a Customer, and
c. made by said person for the purpose of causing the

personal financial gain for such person or any other person.
In order for coverage to apply under this INSURING
CLAUSE, all Voice Initiated Funds Transfer Instructions must be
received and processed in accordance with the Designated

Uncollectible Items of Deposit
10. Loss resulting directly from the ASSURED having

the faith of any Items of Deposit which prove to be
uncollectible, provided that the crediting of such account
causes:

b. shares to be issued, or
c. dividends to be paid,
from an account of an Investment Company.
In order for coverage to apply under this INSURING
CLAUSE, the ASSURED must hold Items of Deposit for the minimum
number of days stated in the APPLICATION before permitting any
redemptions or withdrawals, issuing any shares or paying any
dividends with respect to such Items of Deposit.
Items of Deposit shall not be deemed uncollectible until
the ASSURED'S standard collection procedures have failed.
Audit Expense
11. Expense incurred by the ASSURED for that part of the
cost of audits or examinations required by any governmental
regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization to be
conducted by such authority, organization or their appointee by
reason of the discovery of loss sustained by the ASSURED and
covered by this Bond.

incurred in defending all or part of such suit or legal
proceeding.

COMPANY'S liability for court costs and attorney's fees incurred
in defending all or part of such suit or legal proceedings is
limited to the proportion of such court costs and attorney's

any Bond or policy of insurance issued by an insurance company
and covering such loss, or by the COMPANY on account thereof
prior to payment by the COMPANY of such loss, shall exceed the

The value of any loss of Property consisting of books of
account or other records used by the ASSURED in the conduct of
its business shall be the amount paid by the ASSURED 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 ASSURED for the actual transcription or copying of data
to reproduce such books of account or other records.
The value of any loss of Property other than books of
account or other records used by the ASSURED in the conduct of
its business, for which a claim is made shall be determined by
the average market value of such Property on the business day
immediately preceding discovery of such loss provided, however,
that the value of any Property replaced by the ASSURED with the
consent of the COMPANY and prior to the settlement of any claim
for such Property shall be the actual market value at the time
of replacement.
In the case of a loss 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 of them shall be the market value
of such privileges immediately preceding their expiration if
said loss 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.
OTHER PROPERTY
The value of any loss of Property, other than as stated
above, shall be the actual cash value or the cost of repairing
or replacing such Property with Property of like quality and
value, whichever is less.
Securities Settlement
10. In the event of a loss of securities covered under this
Bond, the COMPANY may, at its sole discretion, purchase
replacement securities, tender the value of the securities in
money, or issue its indemnity to effect replacement securities.
The indemnity required from the ASSURED under the terms
of this Section against all loss, cost or expense arising from
the replacement of securities by the COMPANY'S indemnity shall
be:
a. for securities having a value less than or equal to the
applicable DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT - one hundred (100%) percent;
b. for securities having a value in excess of the
DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT but within the applicable LIMIT OF LIABILITY -
the percentage that the DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT bears to the value of
the securities;
c. for securities having a value greater than the
applicable LIMIT OF LIABILITY - the percentage that the
DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT and portion in excess of the applicable LIMIT
OF LIABILITY bears to the value of the securities.
The value referred to in Section 10.a., b., and c. is
the value in accordance with Section 9, VALUATION, regardless of
the value of such securities at the time the loss under the
COMPANY'S indemnity is sustained.
The COMPANY is not required to issue its indemnity for
any portion of a loss of securities which is not covered by this
Bond; however, the COMPANY may do so as a courtesy to the
ASSURED and at its sole discretion.
The ASSURED shall pay the proportion of the Company's
premium charge for the Company's indemnity as set forth in
Section 10.a., b., and c. No portion of the LIMIT OF LIABILITY
shall be used as payment of premium for any indemnity purchased
by the ASSURED to obtain replacement securities.
Subrogation - Assignment - Recovery
11. In the event of a payment under this Bond, the COMPANY
shall be subrogated to all of the ASSURED'S rights of recovery
against any person or entity to the extent of such payment. On
request, the ASSURED shall deliver to the COMPANY an assignment
of the ASSURED'S rights, title and interest and causes of action
against any person or entity to the extent of such payment.
Recoveries, whether effected by the COMPANY or by the
ASSURED, shall be applied net of the expense of such recovery in
the following order:
a. first, to the satisfaction of the ASSURED'S loss which
would otherwise have been paid but for the fact that it is in
excess of the applicable LIMIT OF LIABILITY,
b. second, to the COMPANY in satisfaction of amounts paid
in settlement of the ASSURED'S claim,
c. third, to the ASSURED in satisfaction of the applicable
DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT, and
d. fourth, to the ASSURED in satisfaction of any loss
suffered by the ASSURED which was not covered under this Bond.
Recovery from reinsurance or indemnity of the COMPANY
shall not be deemed a recovery under this section.
Cooperation Of Assured
12. At the COMPANY'S request and at reasonable times and
places designated by the COMPANY, the ASSURED shall:
a. submit to examination by the COMPANY and subscribe to
the same under oath,
b. produce for the COMPANY'S examination all pertinent
records, and
c. cooperate with the COMPANY in all matters pertaining to
the loss.
The ASSURED shall execute all papers and render
assistance to secure to the COMPANY the rights and causes of
action provided for under this Bond. The ASSURED shall do
nothing after loss to prejudice such rights or causes of action.

terminated unless written notice shall have been given by the
acting party to the affected party and to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., not less than sixty (60)
days prior to the effective date of such termination.
If the Bond is for a joint ASSURED, it shall not be
terminated unless written notice shall have been given by the
acting party to the affected party, and by the COMPANY to all
ASSURED Investment Companies and to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Washington, D.C., not less than sixty (60) days
prior to the effective date of such termination.
This Bond will terminate as to any one ASSURED, other
than an Investment Company:
a. immediately on the taking over of such ASSURED by a
receiver or other liquidator or by State or Federal officials,
or
b. immediately on the filing of a petition under any State
or Federal statute relative to bankruptcy or reorganization of
the ASSURED, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the
ASSURED, or
c. immediately upon such ASSURED ceasing to exist, whether
through merger into another entity, disposition of all of its
assets or otherwise.
The COMPANY shall refund the unearned premium computed
at short rates in accordance with the standard short rate
cancellation tables if terminated by the ASSURED or pro rata if
terminated for any other reason.
If any partner, director, trustee, or officer or
supervisory employee of an ASSURED not acting in collusion with
an Employee learns of any dishonest act committed by such
Employee at any time, whether in the employment of the ASSURED
or otherwise, whether or not such act is of the type covered
under this Bond, and whether against the ASSURED or any other
person or entity, the ASSURED:
a. shall immediately remove such Employee from a position
that would enable such Employee to cause the ASSURED to suffer a
loss covered by this Bond; and
b. within forty-eight (48) hours of learning that an
Employee has committed any dishonest act, shall notify the
COMPANY, of such action and provide full particulars of such
dishonest act.
The COMPANY may terminate coverage as respects any
Employee sixty (60) days after written notice is received by
each ASSURED Investment Company and the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Washington, D.C. of its desire to terminate this
Bond as to such Employee.
Other Insurance
14. Coverage under this Bond shall apply only as excess
over any valid and collectible insurance, indemnity or
suretyship obtained by or on behalf of:
a. the ASSURED,
b. a Transportation Company, or
c. another entity on whose premises the loss occurred or
which employed the person causing the loss or engaged the
messenger conveying the Property involved.
Conformity
15. If any limitation within this Bond is prohibited by any
law controlling this Bond's construction, such limitation shall
be deemed to be amended so as to equal the minimum period of
limitation provided by such law.
Change or Modification
16. This Bond or any instrument amending or affecting this
Bond may not be changed or modified orally. No change in or
modification of this Bond shall be effective except when made by
written endorsement to this Bond signed by an authorized
representative of the COMPANY.
If this Bond is for a sole ASSURED, no change or
modification which would adversely affect the rights of the
ASSURED shall be effective prior to sixty (60) days after
written notice has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Washington, D.C., by the acting party.
If this Bond is for a joint ASSURED, no charge or
modification which would adversely affect the rights of the
ASSURED shall be effective prior to sixty (60) days after
written notice has been furnished to all insured Investment
Companies and to the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Washington, D.C., by the COMPANY.

DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF
TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE
(for policies with no terrorism exclusion or sublimit)
You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Act of 2002 (the "Act") effective November 26, 2002, this policy
makes available to you insurance for losses arising out of
certain acts of international terrorism. Terrorism is defined
as any act certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General
of the United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent
act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property or
infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United
States, or outside the United States in the case of an air
carrier or vessel or the premises of a United States Mission;
and to have been committed by an individual or individuals
acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, as
part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the
United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct
of the United States Government by coercion.
You should know that the insurance provided by your policy for
losses caused by acts of terrorism is partially reimbursed by
the United States under the formula set forth in the Act. Under
this formula, the United States pays 90% of covered terrorism
losses that exceed the statutorily established deductible to be
paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The
portion of your policy's annual premium that is attributable to
insurance for such acts of terrorism is: $ -0-.
If you have any questions about this notice, please contact your
agent or broker.
