FIDELITY BOND CLAIM AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER FIDELITY BOND CLAIM AGREEMENT dated November 1, 1993, as amended and restated June 12, 2002, as amended and restated March 1, 2008, by and among (i) each of the funds listed from time to time in Exhibit A (collectively, the “Funds” or “Fund Parties”) and (ii) Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS”), MFS Service Center, Inc. (“MFSC”), MFS Fund Distributors, Inc. (“MFD”), MFS Heritage Trust Company, MFS Institutional Advisors, Inc., and MFS International Ltd., (collectively, the “MFS Parties”).

WHEREAS, MFS or certain other MFS Parties act as investment adviser to all of the Funds and certain other clients, MFD acts as distributor for certain of the Funds and MFSC acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the Funds; and from time to time hereafter each may act in the same capacities with respect to other clients including other investment companies;

WHEREAS, all the parties hereto are named insureds under broker’s blanket bonds issued by each of the insurance companies listed from time to time in Exhibit B, and/or such other insurance companies as from time to time may insure parties hereto as such bonds may be amended and/or restated from time to time (collectively the “Bonds”);

WHEREAS, the parties desire to establish (i) the criteria by which the premium for the Bonds shall be allocated among the parties, (ii) the basis on which additional investment companies for which MFS, or any subsidiary thereof, may hereafter act as investment adviser and/or for which MFD may act as distributor, and additional affiliates of MFS may from time to time be added as named insureds under the Bonds and (iii) the criteria by which losses in excess of the face amounts of the Bonds shall be allocated among the parties.

NOW THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1. Each of the Funds shall pay a portion of each premium which shall be determined as of a specified date (the “Date”) which is the same date for all Fund Parties by calculating the proportion which the minimum amount of fidelity bond coverage required for such Fund (calculated in accordance with Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“Rule 17g-1”)) bears to the total amount of coverage provided for under the Bonds and applying said proportion to the total annual premium. The amount remaining after calculating the portions of the premium to be paid by the Funds shall be paid by MFS or such MFS Parties as MFS shall determine.

2. If one or more of the insurance companies listed in Exhibit B (or such other insurers as from time to time may insure the parties hereto) are willing without additional premium until the next renewal date to add, as an insured under any of the Bonds, (i) any investment company permitted to be included on the Bonds pursuant to Rule 17g-1 for which MFS (or any subsidiary thereof) may act as investment adviser and/or for which MFD may act as distributor, or (ii) any affiliate of MFS permitted to be included on the Bonds pursuant to Rule 17g-1, the parties hereto agree (a) that such addition may be made, (b) that such investment company shall become a party to this Agreement and be included within the terms “Funds” and “Fund Parties” and (c) that such affiliate shall become a party to this Agreement and be included within the term “MFS Parties.”

3. In the event that the claims of loss of two or more insureds under the Bonds are so related that the insurer is entitled to assert that the claims must be aggregated with the result that the claims exceed the face amount of the Bonds but the total amount payable on such claims is limited to the face amount of the Bonds, the following rules for determining, as among such insureds, the priority of satisfaction of the claims under the Bonds shall apply:

A. All claims of Funds which have been duly proved and established under the Bonds shall be satisfied in full before satisfaction of any claims of MFS or other MFS Parties, if any.

B. If the claims of Funds which have been duly proved and established under the Bonds exceed the face amount of the Bonds, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to those claims in the following manner:

(i)	first, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the claim of each Fund up to its respective minimum fidelity bond requirement as determined pursuant to paragraph one above with respect to the Funds; and

(ii)	the remaining amount of insurance proceeds then shall be applied to the unsatisfied claims of the Funds in proportion to their respective minimum fidelity bond requirements as determined pursuant to paragraph one above with respect to the Funds.

C. If after giving effect to Paragraph A there remains a portion of the insurance under the Bonds available for the satisfaction of claims of MFS or other MFS Parties, if any, which have been duly proved and established under the Bonds, such remainder shall be applied as MFS shall determine.

4. This Agreement hereby supercedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements among the parties hereto (or any two or more of them) (which other agreements may include other parties) relating to the subject matter hereof.

5. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

6. Exhibit A hereto may be amended from time to time to reflect the changes in the funds insured under the Bonds.

7. Exhibit B hereto may be amended from time to time to reflect the changes in the insurance companies issuing the Bonds.

8. A copy of the Declaration of Trust of each Fund is on file with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each party hereto acknowledges that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Fund’s Trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders individually, but are binding solely upon the assets and property of the Fund. If this Agreement is executed by the Fund on behalf of one or more series of the Fund, each party hereto further acknowledges that the assets and liabilities of each series are separate and distinct and that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement concerning a series are binding solely upon the assets or property of such series and not upon the assets or property of any other series.

9. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the prior written consent of the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered in their names and on their behalf by the undersigned officers, thereunto duly authorized, all as of the first day of March 2008.

UNIVERSAL EXCESSTM POLICY

I. INSURING AGREEMENT

The Insurer designated in the Declarations (a Stock Insurance Company herein called the "Underwriters"), in consideration of the payment of the premium and in reliance upon any application, materials or information made available by or on behalf of the Insured(s) to the Underwriters during the application or proposal process, and subject to all of the terms, conditions and exclusions of this policy, agrees with the Insured(s) as follows:

The Underwriters shall provide the Insured(s) with insurance during the Policy Period which is in excess of the total limits of liability and any retention/deductible under all Underlying Insurance, as set forth in Item D of the Declarations, whether collectible or not.

II. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

It is expressly agreed that liability for any loss shall attach to the Underwriters only after the Primary and Underlying Excess insurers shall have paid the full amount of their respective liability (hereinafter referred to as the "Underlying Insurance") or the Insured(s) shall have paid the full amount of such liability due to the financial insolvency of an insurer of the Underlying Insurance. The Underwriters shall then be liable to pay only such additional amounts up to the Limit of Liability set forth in Item C of the Declarations, which shall be the maximum liability of the Underwriters in each Policy Period.

B.	In the event of the reduction or exhaustion of the aggregate limits of liability under the Primary and Underlying Excess Policy(ies) by reason of losses paid thereunder for claims first made while this policy is in force, this policy shall:

(1)	in the event of such reduction, continue in force excess of the reduced Primary and Underlying Insurance; or

(2)	in the event of exhaustion, continue in force as primary insurance, subject to the Underwriters' Limit of Liability and to the other terms, conditions and exclusions of this policy,

provided always that in the latter event this policy shall only pay excess of the retention/deductible applicable to such primary insurance as set forth in the Primary Policy, which shall be applied to any subsequent loss in the same manner specified in such primary insurance. Notice of exhaustion of Underlying Insurance shall be given the Underwriters upon such exhaustion. Nothing herein shall be construed to provide for any duty on the part of the Underwriters to defend any Insured or to pay defense or any claim expenses in addition to the Limit of Liability set forth in Item C of the Declarations.

If the Primary Policy contains a specific grant of coverage that is subject to a sub-limit of liability, then coverage under this policy shall not apply to any claim which is subject to such sub-limit of liability. However, any such claim shall be recognized under this policy solely for purposes of reducing or exhausting, to any extent, the Underlying Insurance.

III. PRIMARY AND UNDERLYING INSURANCE

This policy is subject to the same warranties, terms, conditions, definitions, exclusions and endorsements (except as regards the premium, the amount and limits of liability, and duty to defend, and except as otherwise provided herein) as are contained in or as may be added to the Primary Policy, together with all the warranties, terms, conditions, exclusions and limitations contained in or added by endorsement to any Underlying Excess Policy(ies). In no event shall this policy grant broader coverage than is provided by the most restrictive Primary or Underlying Excess Policy(ies).

It is a condition precedent to this policy that the policy(ies) of the Primary and Underlying Excess Insurers shall be maintained in full effect while this policy is in force except for any reduction of the aggregate limits contained therein (as provided for in Section II., B. above).

Failure of the Insured to comply with the foregoing shall not invalidate this policy, but in the event of such failure, the Underwriters shall be liable only to the extent that it would have been liable had the Insured complied therewith. To the extent that any Underlying Insurance is not maintained in full effect while this policy is in force, the Insured(s) shall be deemed to be self-insured for the amount of the limit of liability of the Underlying Insurance which is not maintained as set forth above.

UE 00 H002 00 1004 Page 1 of 3

COPY OF ORIGINAL POLICY

IV. COSTS, CHARGES, EXPENSES AND COOPERATION

No costs, charges or expenses for investigation or defense of claims shall be incurred, or settlements made, without the Underwriters' written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; however, in the event of such consent being given, the Underwriters will pay, subject to the provisions of Section II., such costs, settlements, charges or expenses.

The Underwriters may, at their sole option, elect to participate in the investigation, settlement or defense of any claim even if the Underlying Insurance has not been exhausted. The Insured(s) shall, as a condition precedent to their rights under this policy, give to the Underwriters all information and cooperation as the Underwriters may reasonably require and shall do nothing that may prejudice the Underwriters’ position or its potential or actual rights of recovery.

		or change of address shall be mailed to the shareholder(s) to whose account such
		transaction relates, at the record address, by the end of the ASSURED’S next regular

certain acts of 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

$100 billion.

insurer deductible under the Act, we shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of

the amount of such losses that exceeds $100 billion, and in such case insured losses up

to that amount are subject to pro rata allocation in accordance with procedures

established by the Secretary of the Treasury.

The portion of your policy’s annual premium that is attributable to insurance for such acts

of terrorism is: $ -0-.

ƒ	Chubb’s financial results during 2010 stand out in the industry.
ƒ	Chubb’s balance sheet is backed with investments that we believe emphasize quality, safety, and liquidity,
	with total invested assets of $43 billion as of September 30, 2010.
ƒ	With 128 years in the business, Chubb is here for the long term, which is why we vigorously guard our
	financial strength and take what we believe is a prudent approach to assuming risk—on both the asset and
	liability sides of our balance sheet.
ƒ	Chubb is one of the most highly rated property and casualty companies in the industry, which is a reflection
	of our overall quality, strong financial condition, and strong capital position.
	o	Chubb’s financial strength rating is “A++” from A.M. Best Company, “AA” from Fitch, “Aa2” from
		Moody’s, and “AA” from Standard & Poor’s – the leading independent evaluators of the insurance
		industry.
	o	A.M. Best, Fitch, and Moody’s recently affirmed all of Chubb’s ratings with a “stable” outlook. (For
		reference, A.M. Best reaffirmed us on 3/17/10, Fitch on 2/13/09, and Moody’s on 2/4/09.)
	o	Forbes named Chubb one of the “100 Most Trustworthy Companies” in 2010, based on Chubb’s
		“transparent and conservative accounting practices and prudent management.”
	o	For more than 50 years, Chubb has remained part of an elite group of insurers that have
		maintained A.M. Best’s highest ratings.
ƒ	Fitch ranked Chubb #1 for five- and 10-year financial performance in a 6/10/10 report.
ƒ	On the 2010 Fortune 500 list, Chubb ranks #176 in revenue, #85 in assets, #80 in 1999-2009 annual growth
	rate, #64 in profits, and #39 in profit as a percentage of revenue.
ƒ	Chubb was named to Standard & Poor’s list of S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats, one of 52 companies in the
	S&P 500 index that have increased dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years.
ƒ	Chubb’s investment portfolio has held up extremely well. Chubb takes what we believe is a conservative
	approach to selecting and managing our assets. Furthermore, Chubb does not have any direct exposure to
	the subprime mortgage-backed securities market, and we stopped doing new credit derivative business in
	2003 and put existing business in runoff.
Rarely has Chubb’s business philosophy—to underwrite conservatively and invest judiciously—been more important
than it is today.		By adhering to this philosophy, we have the capacity and flexibility to respond to opportunities,
especially when you engage us in fully understanding your business risks.
