WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Custodian and certain of the Funds have entered into that
certain Joint Trading Account Custody Agreement between The Bank of
New York and Fidelity Funds, dated as of ______ (the "Agreement"),
pursuant to which the Funds have appointed the Custodian as its
custodian for the purpose of establishing and administering one or
more joint trading accounts or subaccounts thereof (individually, an
"Account" and collectively, the "Accounts") and holding cash and
securities for the Funds in connection with repurchase transactions
effected through the Accounts; and
WHEREAS, Seller and the Funds desire to amend the Agreement as set
forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises
and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows.
Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires,
terms used in this Amendment, including the preamble and recitals,
have the meanings provided in the Agreement.
The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Paragraph2.03(f) in its
entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:
Exhibit g(24)
"(f) Overdraft. In the event that the Custodian is directed by
Proper Instructions to make any payment or transfer of funds on behalf
of a Fund for which there would be, at the close of business on the
date of such payment or transfer, insufficient funds held by the
Custodian on behalf of such Fund, the Custodian may, in its
discretion, provide an overdraft ("Overdraft") to the Fund (such Fund
being referred to herein as an "Overdraft Fund"), in an amount
sufficient to allow the completion of such payment or transfer. Any
Overdraft provided hereunder: (a) shall be payable on the next
Business Day, unless otherwise agreed by the Overdraft Fund and the
Custodian; and (b) shall accrue interest from the date of the
Overdraft to the date of payment in full by the Overdraft Fund at a
rate agreed upon in writing, from time to time, by the Custodian and
the Overdraft Fund. The Custodian and the Funds acknowledge that the
purpose of such Overdrafts is to temporarily finance the purchase or
sale of securities for prompt delivery in accordance with the terms
hereof. The Custodian hereby agrees to notify each Overdraft Fund by
3:00 p.m., New York time, of the amount of any Overdraft. Provided
that Custodian has given the notice required by this subparagraph (f),
the Funds hereby agree that, as security for the Overdraft of an
Overdraft Fund, the Custodian shall have a continuing lien and
security interest in and to all interest of such Overdraft Fund in
Securities whose purchase is financed by Custodian and which are in
Custodian's possession or in the possession or control of any third
party acting on Custodian's behalf and the proceeds thereof. In this
regard, Custodian shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies of
a pledgee under common law and a secured party under the New York
Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable laws or regulations
as then in effect."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Amendment to be
executed and delivered under seal by their duly authorized officers.
