WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, DFAIDG, DEM, DFAITC, DIG, DFA, DFAS, DFAL, DFA Australia, DFAC, the Group Trust, DFP, DFPII, the Canadian Trusts, the Australian Trusts, the OEICs, and the STIF (sometimes herein referred to collectively as the “Insureds”) jointly maintain a fidelity bond that provides insurance for losses incurred by them as a result of certain acts and omissions of other persons (such fidelity bond and any amendments, supplements or replacements thereof, or successors thereto, being referred to herein as the “Joint Bond”); and

     WHEREAS, the Insureds that are U.S. registered management investment companies (together, the “DFA Funds”) desire: (i) to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (f) of Rule 17g-1 (the “Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as the Rule is in effect on the date hereof; (ii) to confirm the criteria by which recoveries under the Joint Bond should be allocated among the Insureds; and (iii) to secure the benefits afforded by the Joint Bond; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each DFA Fund, after giving due consideration to all factors relevant to the Joint Bond’s amount, type, form and coverage, and the apportionment of recoveries and premiums on the Joint Bond, has approved the form, term, and amount of the Joint Bond, the portion of the premiums payable by each DFA Fund, and the manner by which proceeds of a recovery under the Joint Bond, if any, shall be shared by and among the Insureds as hereinafter set forth, such approval having been accomplished by the vote of a majority of such Board’s members, including a majority of those members of the Board who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act; and

     WHEREAS, certain of the Insureds previously had entered into a Joint Bond Agreement, dated October 18, 2003, as amended on October 29, 2004, to establish the manner by which proceeds of a recovery under the Joint Bond, if any, shall be shared by and among the Insureds, and the Insureds now desire to amend such agreement and to restate the agreement in its entirety by this Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. In the event that a recovery is received under the Joint Bond as a result of a loss sustained by any DFA Fund and one or more of the other named Insureds, the DFA Fund, as its interests may appear, shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery in relation to the respective claims, but at least equal to the amount that the DFA Fund would have received had the DFA Fund

provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of the Rule.

     2. The term “Insured,” as applicable to any DFA Fund hereunder, shall be deemed to include each and every Portfolio or Series of such Insured that is in existence on the date hereof, or that is organized by a DFA Fund hereafter, during the term of this Agreement, provided that for the purpose of paragraph (d)(1) of the Rule, all such Portfolios of any DFA Fund shall be deemed to comprise a single U.S. registered management investment company and all such Series of a DFA Fund shall be deemed to comprise a single U.S. registered management investment company and, in the event that a recovery provided for in paragraph 1 above is received that covers losses incurred by more than one Portfolio or Series, the portion thereof required to be received by the DFA Fund pursuant to such paragraph shall be apportioned among such Portfolios and/or Series by the Board of Directors in a fair and equitable manner that takes into account the respective losses of such Portfolios and/or Series.

     3. This Agreement shall become effective upon approval by DFA, DFAS, DFAL, DFA Australia, DFAC, DFP, Partners and by the Boards of Directors of the DFA Funds, and shall automatically terminate as to any party that ceases to be an Insured under the Joint Bond.

     4. The provisions of paragraph 3 notwithstanding, any recovery received pursuant to the Joint Bond as to which the parties hereto were Insureds and that is subject to the provisions of paragraph 1 herein shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of such paragraph.

     5. This Agreement shall apply to the Joint Bond and any renewals or replacements thereof, and shall continue until terminated. So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, each DFA Fund shall make such filings and take such other actions in respect of the Joint Bond and this Agreement as shall be necessary to comply with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

     6. The term “Board of Directors,” as used herein, shall include the Board of Trustees of any DFA Fund that is a statutory trust.

     7. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including the Rule.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date first written above.
