     forming part of this bond)

     The  Underwriter  will  indemnify  the  Insured  against  court  costs  and
     reasonable  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

     (2) an Employee is  adjudicated to be guilty of any dishonest or fraudulent

     guilty of dishonesty if such Employee were prosecuted.

     or legal proceedings and at the request of the Underwriter shall furnish it
     with copies of all pleadings and other papers therein. At the Underwriter's

     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
     recoverable  under  this bond  bears to the total of such  amount  plus 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.

     loss involving a former Employee of the Insured be discovered subsequent to
     the  termination of  employment,  coverage would still apply under Insuring
     Agreement (A) if the direct  proximate cause of the loss occurred while the
     former Employee performed duties within the scope of his/her employment.

          transit in the custody of any person acting as messenger provided that
          when such transit was initiated  there was no knowledge by the Insured
          of any such threat, or

          (2) to do damage to the  premises or Property of the  Insured,  except

     (l) loss resulting from payments made or withdrawals  from the account of a

     within the  premises of the drawee bank of the Insured or within the office

     (m) any loss resulting from Uncollectible  Items of Deposit which are drawn

SECTION 3. ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

This  bond does not  afford  coverage  in favor of any  Employers  of  temporary
personnel or of processors as set forth in  sub-sections  (6) and (7) of Section
1(a) of this  bond,  as  aforesaid,  and  upon  payment  to the  Insured  by the
Underwriter  on account  of any loss  through  dishonest  or  fraudulent  act(s)
including Larceny or Embezzlement committed by any of the partners,  officers or
employees of such  Employers,  whether acting alone or in collusion with others,
an  assignment  of such of the  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

                                    7 of 12


immediately preceding the expiration thereof if said loss or misplacement is not
discovered until after their  expiration.  If no market price is quoted for such
Property or for such privileges,  the value shall be fixed by agreement  between
the parties or by arbitration.

In case of any loss or damage to  Property  consisting  of books of  accounts or
other  records  used  by  the  Insured  in the  conduct  of  its  business,  the
Underwriter  shall be liable  under this bond only if such books or records  are
actually  reproduced  and then for not more than the cost of blank books,  blank
pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual  transcription or
copying  of data  which  shall have been  furnished  by the  Insured in order to
reproduce such books and other records.

SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PREMISES AND FURNISHINGS

In case of damage  to any  office  of the  Insured,  or loss of or damage to the
furnishings, fixtures, stationery, supplies, equipment, safes or vaults therein,
the Underwriter shall not be liable for more than the actual cash value thereof,
or for more than the actual cost of their replacement or repair. The Underwriter
may, at its  election,  pay such actual cash value or make such  replacement  or
repair.  If the underwriter and the Insured cannot agree upon such cash value or
such cost of replacement or repair, such shall be determined by arbitration.

SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES

If the Insured shall sustain a loss of securities the total value of which is in
excess  of the limit  stated in Item 3 of the  Declarations  of this  bond,  the
liability of the Underwriter shall be limited to payment for, or duplication of,
securities  having value equal to the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations
of this bond.

If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of securities,
the Insured  shall  thereupon  assign to the  Underwriter  all of the  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 NONACCUMULATION 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

                                    8 of 12



     (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.

                                    9 of 12


The  Underwriter  shall refund the unearned  premium  computed at short rates in
accordance with the standard short rate cancellation tables if terminated by the
Insured or pro rata if terminated for any other reason.

     This Bond shall terminate:

     (a) as to any  Employee  as soon as any  partner,  officer  or  supervisory
     Employee of the Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee,  shall
     learn  of  any  dishonest  or  fraudulent  act(s),   including  Larceny  or
     Embezzlement on the part of such Employee without  prejudice to the loss of
     any Property  then in transit in the custody of such  Employee (see Section
     16(d)), or

     (b) as to any  Employee  60 days after  receipt by each  Insured and by the
     Securities and Exchange Commission of a written notice from the Underwriter
     of its desire to terminate this bond as to such Employee, or

     (c)  as to any  person,  who  is a  partner,  officer  or  employee  of any
     Electronic Data Processor  covered under this bond, from and after the time
     that the Insured or any partner or officer  thereof not in  collusion  with
     such  person  shall have  knowledge  or  information  that such  person has
     committed  any  dishonest  or  fraudulent  act(s),   including  Larceny  or
     Embezzlement  in the service of the Insured or otherwise,  whether such act
     be committed before or after the time this bond is effective.


SECTION 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION

At any  time  prior  to the  termination  or  cancellation  of  this  bond as an
entirety,  whether by the  Insured or the  Underwrite,  the Insured may give the
Underwriter  notice that it desires under this bond an  additional  period of 12
months  within  which to discover  loss  sustained  by the Insured  prior to the
effective date of such  termination or cancellation  and shall pay an additional
premium therefor.

Upon receipt of such notice from the  Insured,  the  Underwriter  shall give its
written consent thereto; provided,  however, that such additional period of time
shall terminate immediately:

     (a) on the effective date of any other  insurance  obtained by the Insured,
     its successor in business or any other party, replacing in whole or in part
     the insurance  afforded by this bond,  whether or not such other  insurance
     provides coverage for loss sustained prior to its effective date, or

     (b) upon  takeover  of the  Insured's  business  by any  State  or  Federal
     official or agency,  or by any receiver or liquidator,  acting or appointed
     for this purpose without the necessity of the Underwriter  giving notice of
     such  termination.  In the  event  that such  additional  period of time is
     terminated,  as provided above,  the Underwriter  shall refund any unearned
     premium.

The right to purchase such  additional  period for the discovery of loss may not
be  exercised  by any State or Federal  official or agency,  or by a receiver or
liquidator,  acting or  appointed  to take over the  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

                                    10 of 12


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

                                    11 of 12


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.

             (i) cause the Insured to sustain a loss, and
             (ii) obtain  financial  benefit for that  individual or for other

     (a) loss resulting  directly or indirectly  from the theft of  confidential
     information, material or data; and

                                  Page 1 of 2


     (b) loss resulting  directly or indirectly  from entries or changes made by
     an individual  authorized  to have access to a Computer  System who acts in
     good faith on  instructions,  unless  such  instructions  are given to that

     individual,  or involving fraudulent  activity,  in which one individual is
     implicated,  whether or not that  individual  is  specifically  identified,
     shall be treated  as one loss.  A series of losses  involving  unidentified

     Agreement or Coverage,  the maximum  amount payable for such loss shall not
     exceed the largest  amount  available  under any one Insuring  Agreement or
     Coverage.

10.  Coverage under this Rider shall terminate upon  termination or cancellation
     of the bond to which this Rider is attached.  Coverage under this Rider may
     also be terminated or canceled without canceling the bond as an entirety
     (a) 60 days  after  receipt  by the  Insured  of  written  notice  from the
     Underwriter of its desire to terminate or cancel coverage under this Rider,
     or
     (b)  immediately  upon receipt by the Underwriter of a written request from

     Agreement, subject to the exclusions herein and in the Bond.

     contained in the records  shall be capable of being  retrieved and produced

ICI Mutual Insurance Company  ("Underwriter"),  in consideration of the required
premium, and in reliance on the application and all other information  furnished
to the  Underwriter  by the Insured,  and subject to and in accordance  with the
Declarations, General Agreements, Provisions, Conditions and Limitations of this
bond,  agrees to  indemnify  the  Insured for loss,  discovered  during the Bond
Period,  which would otherwise have been paid under the Primary Bond but for the
fact that the loss exceeds the limit of liability of such Primary Bond. Coverage
under  this bond shall  follow the terms and  conditions  of the  Primary  Bond,
except with respect to:

     a. Any coverage exceptions specified by riders attached to this bond;

     b. The  deductible  amounts and limits of liability as stated in ITEM 3. of
        the Declarations and;

     c. The General Agreements, Provisions, Conditions and Limitations set forth
        herein.

GENERAL AGREEMENTS

A.   CHANGE OR MODIFICATION OF PRIMARY BOND

     If after the  inception  date of this bond the  Primary  Bond is changed or
     modified,  written notice of any such change or modification shall be given
     to the Underwriter as soon as  practicable,  not to exceed thirty (30) days
     after such change or  modification,  together with such  information as the
     Underwriter may request. There shall be no coverage under this bond for any
     loss  arising  from or in any way  related to such  change or  modification
     until such time as the Underwriter is advised of and specifically agrees by
     written endorsement to provide coverage for such change or modification.

B.   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  for loss  sustained  by anyone
     other than the Insured (except that if the Insured includes such other loss
     in the  Insured's  proof  of  loss,  the  Underwriter  shall  consider  its
     liability  therefor.) As soon as  practicable  and not more than sixty (60)
     days after discovery of any loss covered hereunder,  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.

     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 loss is of  Securities  and 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.

                                       1


     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 of
     such loss or, in the case of a legal  proceeding  to recover  hereunder  on
     account of any judgment against the Insured in or settlement of any suit 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, P.O. Box 730, Burlington, Vermont 05402-0730.

PROVISIONS, CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

a.   Deductible  Amount means the amount stated in ITEM 3. of the  Declarations,
     applicable to each Single Loss. In no event shall this Deductible Amount be
     reduced for any reason,  including  but not limited to, the  non-existence,
     invalidity,  insufficiency or  uncollectibility  of any Underlying Bond(s),
     including the insolvency or dissolution of any Insurer  providing  coverage
     under any Underlying Bond(s).

b.   Primary Bond means the bond scheduled in ITEM 5. of the Declarations or any
     bond that may replace or substitute for such bond.

c.   Single Loss means:
     (1) all loss resulting from any one actual or attempted theft committed by
         one person, or
     (2) all loss caused by any one act (other than a theft or a dishonest or
         fraudulent act) committed by one person, or
     (3) all loss caused by dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by one
         person, or
     (4) all expenses incurred with respect to any one audit or examination, or
     (5) all loss caused by any one occurrence or event other than those
         specified in subsections (1) through (4) above.

d.   Underlying Bond means the Primary Bond and all other insurance coverage
     referred to in ITEM 4. Of the Declarations.

SECTION 2.  SINGLE LOSS LIMIT OF LIABILITY

     The Underwriter's liability for each Single Loss shall not exceed the Limit
     of Liability as stated in ITEM 3. of the Declarations.

SECTION 3.  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


     (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 4.  ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

     Upon payment to the Insured  hereunder for any loss, the Underwriter  shall
     be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the Insured's  rights
     and  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 this bond may have against  another named Insured under this
     bond.  At the request of the  Underwriter,  the Insured  shall  execute all
     assignments or other  documents and take such action as the Underwriter may
     deem  necessary  or desirable to secure and perfect such rights and claims,
     including the execution of documents necessary to enable the Underwriter to
     bring suit in the name of the Insured.

     Assignment  of any  rights or  claims  under  this bond  shall not bind the
     Underwriter without the Underwriter's written consent.

SECTION 5.  COOPERATION OF INSURED

     At the Underwriter's  request and at reasonable times and places designated
     by the Underwriter the Insured shall:

          a. submit to examination by the  Underwriter and subscribe to the same
             under oath, and

          b. produce for the  Underwriter's  examination all pertinent  records,
             and

          c. cooperate with the  Underwriter  in all matters  pertaining to the
             loss.

     The Insured  shall  execute all papers and render  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.

SECTION 6.  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
     terminated as to any  investment  company  registered  under the Investment
     Company Act of 1940, to each such investment company terminated thereby and
     to the Securities and Exchange Commission,  Washington,  D.C., in all cases
     not less than sixty (60) days prior to the  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
     registered under the Investment  Company Act of 1940, 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.

                                       3


     This bond will terminate as to any Insured entity that is not an investment
     company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 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  (as defined in the
     Primary Bond) 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  (as defined in the Primary
     Bond) by written  notice from the  Underwriter to each Insured and, if such
     employee is an employee of an Insured  investment  company registered under
     the  Investment  Company  Act of  1940,  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 7. CONFORMITY

     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.

SECTION 8. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION

     This bond may only be modified by written  Rider forming a part hereof over
     the signature of the  Underwriter's  authorized  representative.  Any Rider
     which modifies the coverage provided by Insuring  Agreement A, Fidelity (or
     the  equivalent  insuring  agreement) of the Primary Bond in a manner which
     adversely affects the rights of an Insured  investment  company  registered
     under the Investment  Company Act of 1940 shall not become  effective until
     at least sixty (60) days after the  Underwriter  has given  written  notice
     thereof to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., and to
     each Insured investment company registered under the Investment Company Act
     of 1940 affected thereby.

                                       4


SECTION  9. DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT; LIMIT OF LIABILITY

     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 the  Primary  Bond or from any  other  bond,
     suretyship or insurance  policy),  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  other  agreements,
     provisions, conditions and limitations of this bond.

     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 agreements,  provisions, conditions and limitations of
     this bond.

================================================================================

Most  property and casualty  insurers,  including ICI Mutual  Insurance  Company
("ICI Mutual"),  are subject to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Act of 2002 (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.

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%).
