(v) 

JOINT FIDELITY BOND AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of September 1, 2013, by and among certain registered investment companies (the "Funds") managed and/or administered by Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”) or Boston Management and Research (“BMR”), each listed on Appendix A, as amended from time to time; and certain other non-Fund entities affiliated with EVM and/or BMR (collectively the “EV Parties”), each listed on Appendix A, as amended from time to time; all of which are named insureds (the “Insureds”) under a joint insured fidelity bond (the “Bond”) issued by one or more insurance companies (the “Insurer”), which may from time to time be amended or replaced:

WHEREAS, EVM and BMR act as investment adviser, manager and/or administrator of the Funds, and may from time to time hereafter act as investment adviser, manager or administrator of other funds; and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. acts as principal underwriter or placement agent for certain of the Funds, and may from time to time hereafter act as principal underwriter or placement agent for certain other funds; and

WHEREAS, each 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 registered management investment companies named as an insured on a joint fidelity bond to enter into certain agreements with the other named insureds; and

WHEREAS, the Insureds each will benefit from its participation in the Bond; and

WHEREAS, the Insureds desire to establish the criteria by which (i) the annual premium shall be allocated among the parties, (ii) parties may be added to the Bond, and (iii) losses in excess of the face amount of the Bond shall be allocated among the parties:

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1.       Allocation of Premiums. The premium payable on the Bond shall be allocated between the Funds and the EV Parties in the manner approved by the Board of Trustees of the Funds, including a majority of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Funds as defined by Section 2 (a) (19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”). The amount of premium allocated to the Funds shall then be allocated among the Funds in the manner approved by the Board of Trustees of the Funds, including a majority of the Independent Trustees. The amount of premium payable by the EV Parties may be allocated among the EV Parties as mutually agreed by them.

2.       Additional Parties to the Agreement. If the Insurer is willing without additional premium to add as an Insured under the Bond (i) any registered investment company for which EVM or BMR hereafter is investment adviser, manager and/or administrator, or (ii) any non-Fund party which qualifies as an insurable party pursuant to Rule 17g-1(b)(3) under the 1940 Act, the parties hereto agree that: (a) such addition may be made, (b) any such registered investment company may become a party to this Agreement and be included within the term “Funds”, and (c) that such affiliate or other party may become a party to this Agreement and be included within the term “EV Parties”; provided that any party added during the term of the Agreement shall be bound by the terms of the Agreement.

 

BOS-3351538 v2

 
 

 

3.       Allocation of Claim Proceeds. In the event that the claims of loss of two or more Insureds under the Bond exceed the face amount of the Bond and are deemed to be a Single Loss as defined under the Bond, the following rules for determining, as among the claimants, the priority of satisfaction of the claims under the Bond shall apply:

A.All claims of the Funds that have been duly proved and established under the Bond shall be satisfied in full before satisfaction of any claims of any non-Fund Insured party. However, a Fund (“Investing Fund”) which invests substantially all of its assets in one or more other Funds (“Portfolio”) in a master-feeder or fund-of-funds structure is not entitled to recover on its claim to the extent that the Investing Fund’s actual covered loss is reduced by the satisfaction of a Portfolio’s claim.
B.If the claims of the Funds exceed the face amount of the Bond, the insurance shall be applied to those claims in the following manner:

(i)       each Fund shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the insurance, but in no event less than the amount it would have received had it provided and maintained a single bond with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act (the “minimum coverage”); and

(ii)       any remaining amount of recovery over the minimum coverage shall be applied to the unsatisfied claims of the Funds, in proportion to the relevant Funds’ contributions toward the allocation of the premium paid for the Bond as determined in accordance with Paragraph 1 above.

C.       If after giving effect to Paragraph A there remains a portion of the insurance under the Bond available for the satisfaction of claims of parties other than the Funds, such remainder shall be applied as EVM shall determine.

4.       Limitations of Liability. All parties hereto agree that any obligation assumed by a business or common law trust hereunder shall be limited to the assets of the trust, and the trustees, shareholders and agents of the trust shall not be liable thereon.

5.Effective Date. This Fidelity Bond Premium Sharing Agreement shall become effective as of September 1, 2013.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto caused this Agreement to be executed by their officers, Directors or Trustees hereunto duly authorized all as of the day and year first above written.
