In the event that a loss of Property is settled by the Underwriter through the use of a lost instrument bond, such loss shall not reduce the Aggregate Limit of Liability.

Single Loss Limit of Liability

Subject to the Aggregate Limit of Liability, the Underwriter's liability for each Single Loss shall not exceed the applicable Single Loss Limit of Liability shown in Item 4. of the Declarations. If a Single Loss is covered under more than one Insuring Agreement or Coverage, the maximum payable shall not exceed the largest applicable Single Loss Limit of Liability.

(a) any one act or series of related acts of burglary, robbery or attempt thereat, in which no Employee is implicated, or

Any Investment Company named as Insured shall have priority of payment over all other Insureds under Insuring Agreement (A) of the attached bond to the extent of such required Single Loss Limit of Insurance applicable to such Investment Company.

(6) VALUATION

Any loss of Money, or loss payable in Money, shall be paid, at the option of the Insured, in the Money of the country in which the loss was sustained or in the United States of America dollar equivalent thereof determined at the rate of exchange at the time of payment of such loss.

Securities

The Underwriter shall settle in kind its liability under this bond on account of a loss of any securities or, at the option of the Insured, shall pay to the Insured the cost of replacing such securities, determined by the market value thereof at the time of such settlement. However, if prior to such settlement the Insured shall be compelled by the demands of a third party or by market rules to purchase equivalent securities, and gives written notification of this to the Underwriter, the cost incurred by the Insured shall be taken as the value of those securities. In case of a loss of subscription, conversion or redemption privileges through the misplacement or loss of securities, the amount of such loss shall be the value of such privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof. If such securities cannot be replaced or have no quot ed market value, or if such privileges have no quoted market value, their value shall be determined by agreement or arbitration.

If the applicable coverage of this bond is subject to a Deductible Amount and/or is not sufficient in amount to indemnify the Insured in full for the loss of securities for which claim is made hereunder, the liability of the Underwriter under this bond is limited to the payment for, or the duplication of, so much of such securities as has a value equal to the amount of such applicable coverage.

WHEREAS, the Insureds, in order to be covered jointly under the Bond, are required by Rule 17g-1 to be parties to an agreement that establishes the criteria by which the premiums and any recoveries under the Bond shall be allocated among them;

NOW THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

Amount of Coverage Maintained. The amount of fidelity coverage under the Bond shall at all times be at least equal to the sum of: (a) the total amount of coverage that FSIC would have been required to provide and maintain individually pursuant to the schedule set forth in paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1 had FSIC not been a named insured under the Bond, plus (b) the amount of each bond which each other named insured would have been required to provide and maintain pursuant to federal statutes or regulations had it not been named as an insured under the Bond (such amounts, respectively, the “minimum coverage requirement” for each Insured). The amount of fidelity coverage under the Bond shall be approved at least annually by the Board of Directors of FSIC, including a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of FSIC as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”).

Allocation of Recovery. In the event an actual pecuniary loss is suffered by any two or more of the Insureds under circumstances covered by the Bond, any recovery under the Bond shall be allocated among such Insureds as follows:

If the total amount of coverage provided under the Bond exceeds or is equal to the amount of the combined total loss suffered by the Insureds suffering the loss, then each such Insured shall be entitled to recover the amount of its actual loss.

If the amount of loss suffered by each Insured suffering loss exceeds its minimum coverage requirement as set forth in Section 1 hereof and the amount of such Insureds’ combined actual losses exceeds the total amount of coverage under the Bond, then each such Insured shall be entitled to recover (i) its minimum coverage requirement, and (ii) to the extent there exists any excess coverage, the proportion of such excess coverage that its minimum coverage requirement bears to the amount of the combined minimum coverage requirements of the Insureds suffering actual loss; provided, however, that if the actual loss of any such Insureds is less than the sum of (i) and (ii) above, then such difference shall be recoverable by the other Insured or Insureds in proportion to their minimum coverage requirements.

If (i) the amount of actual loss suffered by any Insured is less than or equal to its minimum coverage requirement, (ii) the amount of actual loss of another Insured or other Insureds exceeds its or their minimum coverage requirements, and (iii) the amount of the combined actual losses of the Insureds exceeds the total amount of coverage provided under the Bond, then any Insured that has suffered an amount of actual loss less than or equal to its minimum coverage requirement shall be entitled to recover its actual loss. If only one other Insured has suffered actual loss, it shall be entitled to recover the remainder of the coverage under the Bond. If more than one Insured has suffered actual loss in excess of the remaining coverage, then they shall allocate such remaining amount of coverage in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section 2.

Allocation of Premiums. No premium shall be paid under the Bond unless the Board of Directors of FSIC, including a majority of the Independent Directors, shall approve the portion of the premium to be paid by FSIC on behalf of each Insured. The premium payable on the Bond shall be allocated between the Insureds as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of FSIC.

Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended in any manner except by written agreement executed by the parties hereto.

Filing with the Commission. A copy of this Agreement, and any amendment thereto, shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 10 days after the execution thereof.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Insureds have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first written.
