| hereinafter collectively called the "Funds" and each of which is hereinafter sometimes called a |
| "Fund"), which are registered as diversified open-end management investment companies under the |
| Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"). ▇. ▇▇▇▇ Price Associates, Inc. ("Adviser") is |
| investment adviser to all the Funds except Institutional International Funds, Inc., ▇. ▇▇▇▇ Price |
| International Funds, Inc. and ▇. ▇▇▇▇ Price International Series, Inc.; ▇. ▇▇▇▇ Price International, |
| Inc. ("TRPI") is investment adviser to each of these investment companies. ▇. ▇▇▇▇ Price |
| Investment Services, Inc. ("Distributor"), ▇. ▇▇▇▇ Price Services, Inc. ("Services"), and ▇. ▇▇▇▇ |
| Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. (“RPS”) are Maryland corporations and wholly-owned |
| subsidiaries of the Adviser. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange |
| Commission under the Act, the Funds, the Adviser, TRPI, the Distributor, Services, and RPS, as well |
| as other affiliated companies of the Adviser, ▇. ▇▇▇▇ Price Group, Inc., (all of which are hereinafter |
| sometimes collectively called the "Insureds" and each of which is hereinafter sometimes individually |
| called the "Insured"), have jointly agreed to maintain a Brokers' Blanket Bond and Policy, designated |
| as Bond No. 87163206B (the “Bond”) from the ICI Mutual Insurance Company, as attached hereto. |
| The Bond became effective on August 31, 2006, and is to run through August 31, 2007 unless |
| canceled. The coverage of the Bond is in the principal amount of $95,000,000. |
| The Bond coverage shall be allocated among the Insureds for the period August 31, 2006 |
| through August 31, 2007, in the following proportions in accordance with the appropriations outlined |
| in the Price Funds Quarterly Compliance Report for the Joint Brokers Blanket Bond, attached hereto |
| as “Exhibit A”. |
| (b) Due to the large number of ▇. ▇▇▇▇ Price entities listed on the Bond, the Boards |
| have allocated the premium based on a ratio of 70% to the Price Funds and 30% to the ▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ |
| entities. |
| Each investment company is allocated a percentage of the total bond coverage that is |
| allotted to all of the Price Funds (97% of coverage) based on the required bond amount for that |
| investment company as specified under the Act. The minimum amount of coverage is calculated |
| based on the total assets of each investment company rather than each underlying series. The |
| premium for each Price Fund is calculated using each Price Fund’s (including each underlying series) |
| percentage of total gross assets of all of the Price Funds. This percentage is multiplied by the total |
| premium allocated to all of the Price Funds (70% of premium). |
| 2. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Insured shall be entitled to the full |
| amount of any recovery under the Bond in connection with any loss sustained by it, and shall bear all |
| of the expenses attendant upon the realization of such recovery. |
| 3. (a) In the event that all of the Insureds shall together sustain, as the result of any single |
| occurrence, a loss equal to or greater than the principal amount of the Bond, or in the event that all of |
| the Insureds shall together sustain losses under any other circumstances in which the aggregate |
| amount of the recovery under the Bond shall be less than the aggregate amount of such losses, then |
| in either such event the amount of such recovery shall be proportioned among all Insureds as |
| allocated in Section 1(a). Each underlying series would receive a portion of its investment |
| company’s allocation based on the percentage of assets of the underlying series of the total assets of |
| the series’ investment company. |
| In the event that any two or more of the Insured entities shall together sustain a loss or losses, |
| then any recovery under the Bond shall be allocated between them in such proportions as shall be |
| determined in the case of each Insured by the application of the following fraction: |
| (i) | the numerator of which shall be the numerator of the fraction applicable to such | |
| Insured as set forth in Section 1(a) (each series would receive a proportional amount | ||
| of the coverage calculated for the investment company based on the number of | ||
| underlying series suffering losses), and | ||
| (ii) | the denominator of which shall be the sum of the numerators applicable to such | |
| Insured as set forth in Section 1(a). | ||
| (b) | Anything in Paragraph 3(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the | |
| result of the operation of that paragraph would be to allocate to any one or more of | ||
| the Insureds sustaining losses as a result of any single occurrence an amount in | ||
| excess of the loss actually sustained by it or them, each such Insured shall be entitled | ||
| only to an amount equal to the loss it has sustained, and the excess shall be allocated | ||
| as between the other Insured or Insureds participating in such loss by a computation | ||
| made in the manner prescribed in the second sentence of Paragraph 3(a); provided, | ||
| however, in the event that the result of such computation shall be the allocation to | ||
| one or more of such other Insureds of an amount or amounts which, when added to | ||
| the amount or amounts allocated to such Insured or Insureds pursuant to Paragraph | ||
| 3(a), shall exceed the loss or losses actually sustained by it or them, the procedure | ||
| specified in the foregoing sentence shall be repeated successively until none of the | ||
| Insureds sustaining a loss by virtue of such occurrence shall have been allocated an | ||
| amount in excess of such loss. |
| 4. Any cost involved in the interpretation and enforcement of the Bond shall be borne by all |
| of the Insureds in the same proportions as used to calculate the premium of the Bond; provided, |
| however, that if the interpretation of the Bond arises out of or in connection with a loss or losses in |
| which any two or more of the Insureds are involved, such costs shall be allocated among them in the |
| manner specified in Paragraph 3; and provided further, that if only one Insured is involved in any |
| such loss, then all of such costs shall be borne by Insured. |
| 5. | Each of the Insureds shall notify each of the other Insureds within ten days of: | |
| (a) | the filing of any claim under the Bond, and | |
| (b) | the settlement of any claim under the Bond. | |
| 6. | The Insureds agree to consult and cooperate among themselves in order to procure the | |
| benefits of the Bond and of this Agreement for all of them. | ||
| 7. | This Agreement has been executed and delivered in order to comply with the terms and | |
| conditions set forth in Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. | ||
| IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Insureds has caused this Agreement to be executed in | ||
| its name and its corporate seal to be affixed hereunto and attested, in each case by its corporate | ||
| officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the 31st day of | August | , 2006. |
