4


 

  2.   If during the Bond Period an Insured Investment Company shall merge or consolidate with an institution in which such Insured is the surviving entity, or purchase substantially all the assets or capital stock of another institution, or acquire or create a separate investment portfolio, and shall within sixty (60) days notify the Underwriter thereof, then this Bond shall automatically apply to the Property and Employees resulting from such merger, consolidation, acquisition or creation from the date thereof; provided, that the Underwriter may make such coverage contingent upon the payment of an additional premium.
B.   WARRANTY
No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the Application or otherwise, shall be deemed to be an absolute warranty, but only a warranty that such statement is true to the best of the knowledge of the person responsible for such statement.
C.   COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES
The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense of any legal proceeding brought against the Insured seeking recovery for any loss which, if established against the Insured, would constitute a loss 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 having committed or is adjudicated to have committed a Dishonest or Fraudulent Act or Theft which caused the loss; or
 
  2.   in the absence of such an admission or adjudication, an arbitrator or arbitrators acceptable to the Insured and the Underwriter concludes, after a review of an agreed statement of facts, that an Employee has committed a Dishonest or Fraudulent Act or Theft which caused the loss.
The Insured shall promptly give notice to the Underwriter of any such legal proceeding and upon request shall furnish the Underwriter with copies of all pleadings and other papers therein. At the Underwriter’s election the Insured shall permit the Underwriter to conduct the defense of such legal proceeding in the Insured’s name, through attorneys of the Underwriter’s selection. In such event, the Insured shall give all reasonable information and assistance which the Underwriter shall deem necessary to the proper defense of such legal proceeding.
If the amount of the Insured’s liability or alleged liability in any such legal proceeding is greater than the amount which the Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond (other than pursuant to this General Agreement C), or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, the indemnity liability of the Underwriter under this General Agreement C is limited to the proportion of court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred and paid by the Insured or by the Underwriter that the amount which the Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond (other than pursuant to this General Agreement C) bears to the sum of such amount plus the amount which the Insured is not entitled to recover. Such indemnity shall be in addition to the Limit of Liability for the applicable Insuring Agreement.
D.   INTERPRETATION
This Bond shall be interpreted with due regard to the purpose of fidelity bonding under Rule 17g-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (i.e., to protect innocent third parties from harm) and to the structure of the investment management industry (in which a loss of Property resulting from a cause described in any Insuring Agreement ordinarily gives rise to a potential legal liability on the part of the Insured), such that the term “loss” as used herein shall include an Insured’s legal liability for direct compensatory damages resulting directly from a misappropriation, or measurable diminution in value, of Property.

SECTION 3. 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 4. 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 to anyone other than the Insured. As soon as practicable and not more than sixty (60) days after discovery, 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.
See also General Agreement C (Court Costs and Attorneys’ Fees).
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 Property is Securities and the loss 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.
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 mentioned in General Agreement C 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.

11


 

Notice hereunder shall be given to Manager, Professional Liability Claims, ICI Mutual Insurance Company, 1401 H St. NW, Washington, DC 20005.
SECTION 5. 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)   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 6. VALUATION OF PROPERTY
For the purpose of determining the amount of any loss hereunder, the value of any Property shall be the market value of such Property at the close of business on the first business day before the discovery of such loss; except that
  (1)   the value of any Property replaced by the Insured prior to the payment of a claim therefor shall be the actual market value of such Property at the time of replacement, but not in excess of the market value of such Property on the first business day before the discovery of the loss of such Property;
 
  (2)   the value of Securities which must be produced to exercise subscription, conversion, redemption or deposit privileges shall be the market value of such privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof if the loss of such Securities is not discovered until after such expiration, but if there is no quoted or other ascertainable market price for such Property or privileges referred to in clauses (1) and (2), their value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by arbitration before an arbitrator or arbitrators acceptable to the parties; and
 
  (3)   the value of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business shall be limited to the actual cost of blank books, blank pages or other materials if the books or records are reproduced plus the cost of labor for the transcription or copying of data furnished by the Insured for reproduction.
SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES
The maximum liability of the Underwriter hereunder for lost Securities shall be the payment for, or replacement of, such Securities having an aggregate value not to exceed the applicable Limit of Liability. If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of Securities, the Insured shall assign to the Underwriter all of the Insured’s right, title and interest in and to such Securities. In lieu of such payment, the Underwriter may, at its option, replace such lost Securities, and in such case the Insured shall cooperate to effect such replacement. To effect the replacement of lost Securities, the Underwriter may issue or arrange for the issuance of a lost instrument bond. If the value of such Securities does not exceed the applicable Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss), the Insured will pay the usual premium charged for the lost instrument bond and will indemnify the issuer of such bond against all loss and expense that it may sustain because of the issuance of such bond.
If the value of such Securities exceeds the applicable Deductible Amount (at the time of discovery of the loss), the Insured will pay a proportion of the usual premium charged for the lost instrument bond, equal to the percentage that the applicable Deductible Amount bears to the value of such Securities upon discovery of the loss, and will indemnify the issuer of such bond against all loss and expense that

12


 

is not recovered from the Underwriter under the terms and conditions of this Bond, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability.
SECTION 8. SALVAGE
If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account of any loss within the applicable Limit of Liability hereunder, the Underwriter shall be entitled to the full amount of such recovery to reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts paid hereunder with respect to such loss. If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account of any loss in excess of the applicable 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 amount of such recovery, net of the actual costs and expenses of recovery, shall be applied to reimburse the Insured in full for the portion of such loss in excess of such Limit of Liability, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid first to reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts paid hereunder with respect to such loss and then to the Insured to the extent of the portion of such loss within the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall execute all documents which the Underwriter deems necessary or desirable to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.
SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY
Prior to its termination, this Bond shall continue in force up to the Limit of Liability for each Insuring Agreement for each Single Loss, notwithstanding any previous loss (other than such Single 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 of premiums which shall be payable or paid, the liability of the Underwriter under this Bond with respect to any Single Loss shall be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability irrespective of the total amount of such Single Loss and shall not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or from period to period.
SECTION 10. MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF UNDERWRITER; OTHER BONDS OR POLICIES
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 provisions of this Bond. Recovery for any Single Loss may not be made under more than one Insuring Agreement. If any Single Loss covered under this Bond is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part because of an unexpired discovery period under any other bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter to the Insured or to any predecessor in interest of the Insured, the maximum liability of the Underwriter shall be the greater of either (1) the applicable Limit of Liability under this Bond, or (2) the maximum liability of the Underwriter under such other bonds or policies.
SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any loss covered by this Bond shall also be covered by other insurance or suretyship for the benefit of the Insured, the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the portion of such loss in excess of the amount recoverable under such other insurance or suretyship, but not exceeding the applicable Limit of Liability of this Bond.
SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT
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 any other bond, suretyship or insurance policy or as an

13


 

advance by the Underwriter hereunder) 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 the other terms of this Bond.
No Deductible Amount shall apply to any loss covered under Insuring Agreement A sustained by any Investment Company named as an Insured.
SECTION 13. 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, 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, 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.
This Bond will terminate as to any Insured that is a Non-Fund 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 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 by written notice from the Underwriter to each Insured and, if such Employee is an Employee of an Insured Investment Company, 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 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION
At any time prior to the effective date of termination of this Bond as to any Insured, such Insured may, by written notice to the Underwriter, elect to purchase the right under this Bond to an additional period of twelve (12) months within which to discover loss sustained by such Insured prior to the effective date of such termination and shall pay an additional premium therefor as the Underwriter may require.

14


 

Such additional discovery period shall terminate immediately and without notice upon the takeover of such Insured’s business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator. Promptly after such termination the Underwriter shall refund to the Insured any unearned premium.
The right to purchase such additional discovery period may not be exercised by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over the Insured’s business.
SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES
The Underwriter shall not be liable for loss in connection with the central handling of securities within the systems established and maintained by any Depository (“Systems”), unless the amount of such loss exceeds the amount recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy or participants’ fund insuring the Depository against such loss (the “Depository’s Recovery”); in such case the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the Insured’s share of such excess loss, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability, the Deductible Amount and the other terms of this Bond.
For determining the Insured’s share of such excess loss, (1) the Insured shall be deemed to have an interest in any certificate representing any security included within the Systems equivalent to the interest the Insured then has in all certificates representing the same security included within the Systems; (2) the Depository shall have reasonably and fairly apportioned the Depository’s Recovery among all those having an interest as recorded by appropriate entries in the books and records of the Depository in Property involved in such loss, so that each such interest shall share in the Depository’s Recovery in the ratio that the value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such interests; and (3) the Insured’s share of such excess loss shall be the amount of the Insured’s interest in such Property in excess of the amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by the Depository.
This Bond does not afford coverage in favor of any Depository or Exchange or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the Systems.
SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED
If more than one entity is named as the Insured:
  A.   the total liability of the Underwriter hereunder for each Single Loss shall not exceed the Limit of Liability which would be applicable if there were only one named Insured, regardless of the number of Insured entities which sustain loss as a result of such Single Loss,
 
  B.   the Insured first named in Item 1 of the Declarations shall be deemed authorized to make, adjust, and settle, and receive and enforce payment of, all claims hereunder as the agent of each other Insured for such purposes and for the giving or receiving of any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder; provided, that the Underwriter shall promptly furnish each named Insured Investment Company with (1) a copy of this Bond and any amendments thereto, (2) a copy of each formal filing of a claim hereunder by any other Insured, and (3) notification of the terms of the settlement of each such claim prior to the execution of such settlement,
 
  C.   the Underwriter shall not be responsible or have any liability for the proper application by the Insured first named in Item 1 of the Declarations of any payment made hereunder to the first named Insured,
 
  D.   for the purposes of Sections 4 and 13, knowledge possessed or discovery made by any partner, officer or supervisory Employee of any Insured shall constitute knowledge or discovery by every named Insured,

15


 

  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, and
 
  F.   each named Insured shall constitute “the Insured” for all purposes of this Bond.
SECTION 17. NOTICE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL
Within thirty (30) days after learning that there has been a change in control of an Insured by transfer of its outstanding voting securities the Insured shall give written notice to the Underwriter of:
  A.   the names of the transferors and transferees (or the names of the beneficial owners if the voting securities are registered 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.
SECTION 18. 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, in a manner which adversely affects the rights of an Insured Investment Company 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 affected thereby.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Underwriter has caused this Bond to be executed on the Declarations Page.

In consideration of the premium charged for this Bond, it is hereby understood and agreed that notwithstanding Section 2.Q of this Bond, this Bond is amended by adding an additional Insuring Agreement J as follows:
  J.   COMPUTER SECURITY
Loss (including loss of Property) resulting directly from Computer Fraud; provided, that the Insured has adopted in writing and generally maintains and follows during the Bond Period all Computer Security Procedures. The isolated failure of the Insured to maintain and follow a particular Computer Security Procedure in a particular instance will not preclude coverage under this Insuring Agreement, subject to the specific exclusions herein and in the Bond.
  1.   Definitions. The following terms used in this Insuring Agreement shall have the following meanings:
  a.   “Authorized User” means any person or entity designated by the Insured (through contract, assignment of User Identification, or otherwise) as authorized to use a Covered Computer System, or any part thereof. An individual who invests in an Insured Fund shall not be considered to be an Authorized User solely by virtue of being an investor.
 
  b.   “Computer Fraud” means the unauthorized entry of data into, or the deletion or destruction of data in, or change of data elements or programs within, a Covered Computer System which:
  (1)   is committed by any Unauthorized Third Party anywhere, alone or in collusion with other Unauthorized Third Parties; and
 
  (2)   is committed with the conscious manifest intent (a) to cause the Insured to sustain a loss, and (b) to obtain financial benefit for the perpetrator or any other person; and
 
  (3)   causes (x) Property to be transferred, paid or delivered; or (y) an account of the Insured, or of its customer, to be added, deleted, debited or credited; or (z) an unauthorized or fictitious account to be debited or credited.

 


 

  c.   “Computer Security Procedures” means procedures for prevention of unauthorized computer access and use and administration of computer access and use as provided in writing to the Underwriter.
 
  d.   “Covered Computer System” means any Computer System as to which the Insured has possession, custody and control.

Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group (“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.
This bond has no express exclusion for “acts of terrorism.” However, 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%).

RESOLVED, that the proper officers of the Funds are hereby authorized and directed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a copy of the bond and a copy of the resolutions approving the amount, type, form and coverage of the Bond and the portion of the premium to be paid by each of the Funds, a statement showing the amount of premium for a single insured bond which the Fund would have purchased and maintained had it not been named as an insured under the Bond described herein, a statement of the period for which premiums have been paid and a copy of the Agreement, all pursuant to Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act, and that the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Funds be designated as the officers directed to make such filing and any other necessary filings; and it is further

 


 

RESOLVED, that the Boards, including the independent trustees, hereby determine that the amount, type, form and coverage of the Bond are reasonable and are hereby ratified and approved; and it is further

JOINT INSURANCE AGREEMENT
     THIS JOINT INSURANCE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 30, 2011, is by and among (i) the open-end funds (the “Open-End Funds”), which Open- End Funds represent series portfolios of the Delaware statutory trusts (“Trusts”), listed on Schedule A, (ii) each of the closed-end funds (the “Closed-End Funds”) listed on Schedule A, (iii) each of the Cayman Funds (“Cayman Funds”) listed on Schedule A and Invesco Van Kampen Exchange Fund (the “Exchange Fund” and together with the Cayman Funds, the “Other Funds” and together with and the Open-End Funds and the Closed-End Funds, the “Funds”) and (iv) each of the entities (“Invesco Entities”) listed on Schedule A, which Invesco Entities are also named as insureds under the ICI Mutual Insurance Company Investment Blanket Bond.
BACKGROUND
     THIS AGREEMENT is entered into with the following background:
     A. Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to require that the officers and employees of registered management investment companies be bonded against larceny and embezzlement, and the SEC has promulgated Rule 17g-1 requiring such coverage in specified minimum amounts.
     B. The Funds have obtained and maintain the bonds and policies of insurance providing coverage against larceny and embezzlement by their officers and the employees of certain of the Invesco Entities (the “Joint Bonds”).
     C. The Board of Trustees/Directors of each Fund, by vote of a majority of its members and a majority of those members of the Board of each Fund who are not “interested persons” as defined by Section 2 (a) (19) of the Act, has given due consideration to all factors relevant to the amount, type, form, coverage and apportionment of recoveries and premiums on the Joint Bonds and has approved the form, term and amount of the Joint Bonds, the portion of the premiums payable by

Page 1 of 12


 

each Fund, and the manner in which recovery on the Joint Bonds (“Joint Bond Proceeds”), if any, shall be shared by and among the parties hereto as hereinafter set forth.
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and among the parties hereto as follows:
     1. ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS
          a. In the event a single party suffers a loss or losses covered under the Joint Bonds, the party suffering such loss or losses shall be entitled to be indemnified up to the full amount of the Joint Bond Proceeds.
          b. If more than one party is damaged in a single loss for which Joint Bond Proceeds are received, each such party shall receive that portion of the Joint Bond Proceeds which represents the loss sustained by that party, unless the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such party. If the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such party sustaining a loss, the Joint Bond Proceeds shall be allocated among such parties as set forth in (1) through (3) of this provision 1.b below. Any party not fully indemnified for its insurable losses as a result of this allocation is hereafter referred to as an “Unindemnified Party”.
(1) Each Trust or Fund sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the minimum amount of bond coverage allocated to such party specified on Schedule B hereto. To the extent any Cayman Fund sustains a loss, such Cayman Fund shall be allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the minimum amount of bond coverage allocated to the Open-end Fund that owns such Cayman Fund specified on Schedule B hereto.
(2) Each Invesco Entity sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or its

Page 2 of 12


 

proportionate share of the minimum amount of the aggregate bond coverage allocable to the Invesco Entities, as set forth Schedule B hereto.
(3) The remaining portion of the Joint Bond Proceeds, if any, shall be allocated to each Unindemnified Party in the same proportion as such party’s allocation of minimum bond coverage on Schedule B hereto bears to the aggregate of the minimum bond coverage amounts set forth on Schedule B for all Unindemnified Parties, provided that no party shall receive Joint Bond Proceeds in excess of its actual insurable losses.
     2. ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
          a. Each party hereto has agreed that the premiums payable with respect to the Joint Bonds (“Premiums”) shall be shared (the “Sharing Arrangement”) between the Funds and the Invesco Entities, with the Funds paying, in the aggregate, seventy percent (70%) thereof (“Fund Premiums”) and the Invesco Entities paying, in the aggregate, thirty percent (30%) thereof (“Invesco Premiums”).
          b. After giving effect to the Sharing Arrangement, Fund Premiums shall be further allocated among each of the Funds by calculating, on an annual basis (and, in the event any increased or additional premium is required to be paid during the year, as of the date such increased or additional premium is due), each Fund’s proportionate share thereof, based on dividing each Fund’s total net assets by the aggregate net assets of all of the Funds; provided that the Fund Premiums for the Cayman Funds shall be allocated to the Open-End Fund that includes the respective Cayman Funds’ assets in such Open-End Fund’s total net assets.
     3. BOND COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS AND CHANGES

Page 3 of 12


 

          a. Each party hereto has determined that the minimum amount of fidelity bond coverage deemed appropriate to be maintained by it is as set forth opposite its name in Schedule B. Each of the Trusts, on behalf of the Open-End Funds and the Cayman Funds, and each of the Closed-End Funds and the Exchange Fund has determined that the minimum amount of coverage required of it under Rule 17g-1 (d) (1) as of the date hereof is the amount reflected opposite its name in Schedule B. Each of the Trusts, Closed-End Funds and Exchange Fund further agrees that it’s Treasurer will promptly take such steps as may be necessary, from time to time, to increase its minimum coverage as set forth in Schedule B (and, if necessary, the face amount of the Joint Bonds) so that its minimum coverage as therein set forth shall at no time be less than the minimum coverage required of it under Rule 17g-l(d)(1).
          b. The parties hereto may, from time to time hereafter, agree to modify Schedule B to reflect changes in coverage both among the Funds and the Invesco Entities, so long as the amount of the change does not result in any Fund’s minimum coverage becoming less than the minimum coverage required of it under Rule 17g-1(d)(1). All references in this Agreement to “Schedule B” shall be to such Schedule as amended as of the relevant date on which premiums are to be allocated or losses are sustained.
     4. ADDITION OF NEW FUNDS AND SERIES
     The parties to this Agreement contemplate that additional trusts, funds or other related entities permitted by Rule 17g-1 (“Additional Entities”) may be added from time to time after the date of this Agreement. In the event an Additional Entity is organized, such Additional Entity may be included as an additional party to this Agreement if the Board of Trustees of each of the Trusts (including the Additional Entity Trust if it is being added) approve such addition and establish a revised minimum allocation of bond coverage. The inclusion of an additional Trust as a party

Page 4 of 12


 

to this Agreement shall be evidenced by such Trust’s execution of the Addendum to this Agreement and all references herein to the “Trust” shall include any such Additional Entity Trusts.
     5. TERM OF AGREEMENT
     This Agreement supersedes and replaces the joint insurance agreement dated as of June 1, 2010, and shall apply to the present fidelity bond coverage and any renewals or replacements thereof and shall continue thereafter until terminated by any party hereto upon the giving of not less than sixty days written notice to the other parties.
     6. DISPUTES
     Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in the City of Houston, Texas under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the decision rendered therein shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
     7. GOVERNING LAW
     This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC.
