JOINT FIDELITY BOND

ALLOCATION AGREEMENT

Amended and Restated

August 25, 2010

WHEREAS, Wells Fargo Funds Trust (“Funds Trust”), Wells Fargo Master Trust (“Master Trust”) and Wells Fargo Variable Trust (“Variable Trust”) are open-end management investment companies registered as such under the 1940 Act, consisting of investment portfolios as detailed in Appendix A; and

WHEREAS, Asset Allocation Trust (“AAT”) is an open-end management investment company registered as such under the 1940 Act; and

WHEREAS, Wells Fargo Advantage Global Dividend Opportunity Fund, Wells Fargo Advantage Income Opportunities Fund, Wells Fargo Advantage Multi-Sector Income Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Utilities and High Income Fund (the “Closed-End Funds”) are closed-end management investment companies registered as such under the 1940 Act; and

WHEREAS, Funds Trust, Master Trust, Variable Trust, AAT and the Closed-End Funds are required to provide and maintain a fidelity bond pursuant to Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act; and

WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1(b) provides that the fidelity bond may be in the form of a joint insured bond covering Funds Trust, Master Trust, Variable Trust; and

WHEREAS, the Trustees of Funds Trust, Master Trust and Variable Trust, AAT and the Closed-End Funds, including a majority of such Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) have made the required determinations required by that Rule, including those provisions specifically applicable to a joint insured bond;

NOW, THEREFORE, Funds Trust, Master Trust, Variable Trust, AAT and the Closed-End Funds hereby agree as follows:

1. Each of Funds Trust, Master Trust, Variable Trust, AAT and the Closed-End Funds will pay a portion of the premiums for the joint insured fidelity bond which is allocated pro rata according to the percentage each of their net assets bear to the aggregate net assets of all the insured parties.

2. In the event recovery is received under the joint insured bond as a result of a loss sustained by two or more of the insured parties, each party shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but at least equal to the amount which such party would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.

This agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
