Exhibit B
AGREEMENT
Agreement made as of September 25, 2013, by and among certain open end funds (the "Trusts"), on behalf of each of their respective series (the "Series"), and certain closed end funds (the “Closed End Funds”) (the Trusts and the Closed-End Funds collectively, the "NB Funds") managed by Neuberger Berman Management LLC (“NBM”), each listed on Appendix A, as amended from time to time; NBM, the investment adviser, investment manager, administrator and/or distributor of the NB Funds; Neuberger Berman LLC (“NBLLC”), a sub-adviser of certain of the NB Funds; Neuberger Berman Alternative Investment Management LLC (“NBAIM”), a sub-adviser of certain of the NB Funds; Neuberger Berman Asia Limited (“NBAL”), a sub-adviser of certain of the NB Funds; Neuberger Berman Europe Limited (“NBEL”), a sub-adviser of certain of the NB Funds; and Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC (“NBFI”), a sub-adviser of certain of the NB Funds; all of which are named insureds on a certain joint fidelity bond underwritten by ICI Mutual Insurance Company covering certain acts relating to the NB Funds (the "Joint Fidelity Bond"):
WHEREAS, each NB Fund has registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a management investment company; and
WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1(f) under the 1940 Act requires that a registered management investment company named as an insured on a joint fidelity bond enter into a certain agreement with the other named insureds; and
WHEREAS, the NB Funds, NBM, NBLLC, NBAIM, NBAL, NBEL and NBFI each will benefit from its participation in the Joint Fidelity Bond in compliance with this Rule:
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1. In the event any recovery is received under the Joint Fidelity Bond as a result of a loss sustained by any NB Fund and by one or more other named insureds, then the NB Fund sustaining such loss shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, said proportion to be established by the ratio that its claim bears to the total amount claimed by all participants, but at least equal to the amount that such NB Fund would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d)(1) under the 1940 Act.
2. This Agreement is made by each Trust, on behalf of its respective Series, pursuant to authority granted by its Trustees, and by each Closed End Fund pursuant to authority granted by its Directors, and the obligations created hereby are not binding upon any of the Trustees of a Trust or any of the Directors of a Closed End Fund or any of the holders of beneficial interests of a Series or a Closed End Fund individually, but are binding only upon the property of that Series or Closed End Fund and no other.
3. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts.
