AGREEMENT made as of the 1^st day of January, 2007 between each of the Investment Companies Listed on Appendix "A" hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time, (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "Custodian").

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, each Fund may itself represent, or may be organized with one or more series of shares each of which shall represent, an interest in a separate portfolio of cash, securities and other assets (all such existing and additional series now or hereafter listed on Appendix "A" being hereinafter referred to individually, as a "Portfolio," and collectively, as the "Portfolios"); and

WHEREAS, each Fund desires to appoint the Custodian as custodian on behalf of each of its Portfolios in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and the rules and regulations thereunder, under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Custodian has agreed so to act as custodian.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIAN

On behalf of each of its Portfolios, each Fund hereby employs and appoints the Custodian as a custodian, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each Fund shall deliver to the Custodian, or shall cause to be delivered to the Custodian, cash, securities and other assets owned by each of its Portfolios from time to time during the term of this Agreement and shall specify to which of its Portfolios such cash, securities and other assets are to be specifically allocated.

ARTICLE II
POWERS AND DUTIES OF CUSTODIAN

As custodian, the Custodian shall have and perform the powers and duties set forth in this Article II. Pursuant to and in accordance with Article IV hereof, the Custodian may appoint one or more Subcustodians or may maintain assets with one or more Eligible Securities Depositories (each as hereinafter defined) to exercise the powers and perform the duties of the Custodian set forth in this Article II and references to the Custodian in this Article II shall include any Subcustodian or Eligible Securities Depository so appointed or utilized, as applicable.

ARTICLE II.1. Safekeeping. The Custodian shall keep safely all cash, securities and other assets of each Fund's Portfolios delivered to the Custodian and, on behalf of such Portfolios, the Custodian shall, from time to time, accept delivery of cash, securities and other assets for safekeeping.

ARTICLE II.2. Manner of Holding Securities and Other Assets.

(a) Except to the extent precluded by Section 8-501(d) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ("UCC"), the Custodian shall hold all securities and other assets, other than cash, of a Fund's Portfolio that are delivered to it hereunder in a "securities account" with the Custodian for and in the name of such Portfolio and, except to the extent precluded by Section 8-501(d) of the UCC, shall treat all such assets, other than cash, as "financial assets" as those terms are used in the UCC. The Custodian shall at all times hold securities or other financial assets held for each Fund's Portfolios either: (i) by physical possession of the certificated securities or instruments representing such financial assets, in either registered or bearer form; or (ii) in book-entry form by maintaining "security entitlements," within the meaning of the UCC, with respect to such financial assets with (A) a Securities System (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22(a) below or (B) an Eligible Securities Depository in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22(b) below. The standards for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Custodian under UCC Article 8, including without limitation Section 8-504 through Section 8-508, with respect to securities entitlements of a Fund or its Portfolio(s) shall be as set forth under this Agreement.

(b) The Custodian shall at all times hold registered securities of each Portfolio in the name of the Custodian, the Portfolio or a nominee of either of them, unless specifically directed by Proper Instructions to hold such registered securities in so-called street name; provided that, in any event, all such securities and other assets shall be held in an account of the Custodian containing only assets of a Portfolio, or only assets held by the Custodian as a fiduciary or custodian for customers; and provided further, that the records of the Custodian shall indicate at all times the Portfolio or other customer for which such securities and other assets are held in such account and the respective interests therein.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 2.02, the Custodian is hereby authorized to maintain the shares of certain open-end management investment companies, managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") or its affiliates or successors as listed on Appendix "D" hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with Section 9.06(e) hereof, (the "Central Funds") owned by the Portfolios, in book-entry form directly with the transfer agent or a designated sub-transfer agent of each such Central Fund ("Central Funds Transfer Agent"), subject to and in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Such Central Fund shares shall be maintained in separate custodian accounts for each Portfolio in the Custodian's name or nominee, as custodian for such Portfolio or Portfolios.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 2.02, the Custodian is hereby authorized to maintain the shares of certain open-end management investment companies (the "Underlying Funds") owned by one or more of the Fidelity Fund of Funds as listed on Appendix "D" hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06(e) hereof, (each a "Fund of Funds Portfolio" and collectively the "Fund of Funds Portfolios") in book-entry form directly with the transfer agent or a designated sub-transfer agent of each such Underlying Fund (an "Underlying Fund Transfer Agent"), subject to and in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Such Underlying Fund shares shall be maintained in separate custodian accounts for each Fund of Funds Portfolio in the Custodian's name or nominee, as the custodian for such Fund of Funds Portfolio.

(ii) The Custodian will implement appropriate control procedures (the "Fund of Funds Portfolio Control Procedures") to ensure that the Underlying Fund Transfer Agent's records of each Fund of Funds Portfolio's holdings of Underlying Fund shares are properly reconciled with the Custodian's records.

ARTICLE II.3. Security Purchases. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions (as hereinafter defined), the Custodian shall pay for and receive securities purchased for the account of a Portfolio, provided that, payment shall be made by the Custodian only upon receipt of the securities by: (1) the Custodian; (2) a clearing corporation of a national securities exchange of which the Custodian is a member; (3) a Securities System; or (4) an Eligible Securities Depository. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of Proper Instructions: (i) in the case of a repurchase agreement, the Custodian may release funds to a Securities System prior to the receipt of advice from the Securities System that the securities underlying such repurchase agreement have been transferred by book-entry into the Account (as hereinafter defined) maintained with such Securities System by the Custodian, provided that, the Custodian's instructions to the Securities System require that the Securities System may make payment of such funds to the other party to the repurchase agreement only upon transfer by book-entry of the securities underlying the repurchase agreement into the Account; (ii) in the case of time deposits, call account deposits, currency deposits, and other deposits, foreign exchange transactions, futures contracts or options, pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.12 and 2.13 hereof, the Custodian may make payment therefor before receipt of an advice or confirmation evidencing said deposit or entry into such transaction; (iii) in the case of the purchase of securities, the settlement of which occurs outside of the United States of America, the Custodian may make payment therefor and receive delivery of such securities in accordance with local custom and practice generally accepted by Institutional Clients (as hereinafter defined) in the country in which the settlement occurs, but in all events subject to the standard of care set forth in Article V hereof; (iv) in the case of the purchase of securities in which, in accordance with standard industry custom and practice generally accepted by Institutional Clients with respect to such securities, the receipt of such securities and the payment therefor take place in different countries, the Custodian may receive delivery of such securities and make payment therefor in accordance with standard industry custom and practice for such securities generally accepted by Institutional Clients, but in all events subject to the standard of care set forth in Article V hereof; (v) in the case of the purchase of Central Fund shares, the Custodian shall pay for and receive Central Fund shares purchased for the account of a Portfolio; provided that (A) the Custodian shall only send instructions to purchase such shares to the Central Fund Transfer Agent in accordance with the Central Fund Control Procedures ("Central Fund Purchase Instructions") upon receipt of Proper Instructions from the Fund, and (B) the Custodian shall release funds to the Central Fund Transfer Agent only after receiving acknowledgment from the Central Fund Transfer Agent that it has received the Central Fund Purchase Instructions; and (vi) in the case of the purchase of Underlying Fund shares for a Fund of Funds Portfolio, the Custodian shall pay for and receive such Underlying Fund shares purchased for the account of a Portfolio, provided that, (A) the Custodian shall only send instructions to purchase such shares to the Underlying Fund Transfer Agent in accordance with the Fund of Funds Portfolio Control Procedures ("Fund of Funds Portfolio Purchase Instructions") upon receipt of instructions from FMR's custody operations and (B) the Custodian shall release funds to the Underlying Fund Transfer Agent only after receiving confirmation from such Underlying Fund Transfer Agent that it has received the Fund of Funds Portfolio Purchase Instructions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the receipt of Proper Instructions: (i) in the case of the sale of securities, the settlement of which occurs outside of the United States of America, such securities shall be delivered and paid for in accordance with local custom and practice generally accepted by Institutional Clients in the country in which the settlement occurs, but in all events subject to the standard of care set forth in Article V hereof; (ii) in the case of the sale of securities in which, in accordance with standard industry custom and practice generally accepted by Institutional Clients with respect to such securities, the delivery of such securities and receipt of payment therefor take place in different countries, the Custodian may deliver such securities and receive payment therefor in accordance with standard industry custom and practice for such securities generally accepted by Institutional Clients, but in all events subject to the standard of care set forth in Article V hereof; (iii) in the case of securities held in physical form, such securities shall be delivered and paid for in accordance with "street delivery custom" to a broker or its clearing agent, against delivery to the Custodian of a receipt for such securities, provided that the Custodian shall have taken reasonable steps to ensure prompt collection of the payment for, or the return of, such securities by the broker or its clearing agent, and provided further that the Custodian shall not be responsible for the selection of or the failure or inability to perform of such broker or its clearing agent; (iv) in the case of Central Fund shares, the Custodian shall release Central Fund shares sold for the account of a Portfolio, provided that (A) the Custodian shall only send instructions to sell such shares to the Central Fund Transfer Agent in accordance with the Central Fund Control Procedures ("Central Fund Sell Instructions") upon receipt of Proper Instructions, and (B) such Central Fund Sell Instructions shall be properly confirmed by the Central Fund Transfer Agent; and (v) in the case of the sale of Underlying Fund shares of a Fund of Funds Portfolio, the Custodian shall release such Underlying Fund shares, provided that, the Custodian shall only send instructions to sell shares to an Underlying Fund Transfer Agent in accordance with the Fund of Funds Portfolio Control Procedures (the "Fund of Funds Portfolio Sell Instructions") upon receipt of Fund of Funds Portfolio Sell Instructions from FMR's custody operations.

Upon receipt of Proper Instructions and in accordance with the provisions of any agreement between the Custodian, any registered broker-dealer and, if necessary, a Fund on behalf of any applicable Portfolio relating to compliance with the rules of the Options Clearing Corporation or of any registered national securities exchange or similar organization(s), the Custodian shall: (a) receive and retain confirmations or other documents, if any, evidencing the purchase or writing of an option on a security or securities index by the applicable Portfolio; (b) pledge or deposit and maintain in a segregated account, as applicable securities (either physically or by book-entry in a Securities System), cash or other assets; and (c) pay, release and/or transfer such securities, cash or other assets in accordance with notices or other communications evidencing the expiration, termination or exercise of such options furnished by the Options Clearing Corporation, the securities or options exchange on which such options are traded, or such other organization as may be responsible for handling such option transactions. Each Fund, on behalf of its applicable Portfolios, and the broker-dealer shall be solely responsible for the sufficiency of assets held in any segregated account established in compliance with applicable margin maintenance requirements and the performance of other terms of any option contract.

ARTICLE II.10. Futures Contracts. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall: (a) receive and retain confirmations, if any, evidencing the purchase or sale of a futures contract or an option on a futures contract by the applicable Portfolio; (b) deposit and maintain such cash, securities and other assets designated as initial, maintenance or variation "margin" deposits intended to secure the applicable Portfolio's performance of its obligations under any such futures contracts purchased or sold or any such options on futures contracts written by the Portfolio (i) in a segregated account established in accordance with the provisions of a futures margin procedural agreement among a Fund, on behalf of any applicable Portfolio, the Custodian and any futures commission merchant (a "Procedural Agreement"), designed to comply with the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and/or any commodity exchange or contract market (such as the Chicago Board of Trade), or any similar organization(s), regarding such margin deposits (a "Segregated Futures Margin Account"), or (ii) in a broker's margin account meeting the requirements of Rule 17f-6 under the 1940 Act, as the same may be amended from time to time (a "Broker's Futures Margin Account"); and (c) release to the applicable Portfolio any such assets held in a Segregated Futures Margin Account, or accept delivery of such assets back from a Broker's Margin Account, as the case may be. In the absence of Proper Instructions, the Custodian may release assets from and/or transfer assets into a Segregated Futures Margin Account only in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Procedural Agreement. Each Fund, on behalf of its applicable Portfolios, and the applicable futures commission merchant shall be solely responsible for the sufficiency of assets held in a Segregated Futures Margin Account or Broker's Futures Margin Account, as the case may be, in compliance with applicable margin maintenance requirements and the performance of any futures contract or option on a futures contract in accordance with its terms. For purposes of determining the Custodian's obligations with respect to any losses resulting from the acts or omissions of any futures commission merchant holding Portfolio assets in a Broker's Futures Margin Account, such futures commission merchant shall be deemed to be an Additional Custodian (as defined below), and the Custodian's liability shall be governed by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) hereof.

ARTICLE II.11. Borrowing. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall deliver securities of a Portfolio to lenders or their agents, or otherwise establish a segregated account as agreed to by the applicable Fund on behalf of such Portfolio and the Custodian, as collateral for borrowings effected by such Portfolio, provided that such borrowed money is payable by the lender (a) to or upon the Custodian's order, as Custodian for such Portfolio, and (b) concurrently with delivery of such securities.

ARTICLE II.12. Interest Bearing Deposits. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions directing the Custodian to purchase interest bearing fixed term and call deposits (hereinafter referred to collectively, as "Interest Bearing Deposits") for the account of a Portfolio, the Custodian shall purchase such Interest Bearing Deposits in the name of the Portfolio with such banks or trust companies (including the Custodian, any Subcustodian or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Custodian) (hereinafter referred to as "Banking Institutions") and in such amounts as the applicable Fund may direct pursuant to Proper Instructions. Such Interest Bearing Deposits may be denominated in U.S. Dollars or other currencies, as the applicable Fund on behalf of its Portfolio may determine and direct pursuant to Proper Instructions. The Custodian shall include in its records with respect to the assets of each Portfolio appropriate notation as to the amount and currency of each such Interest Bearing Bank Deposit, the accepting Banking Institution and all other appropriate details, and shall retain such forms of advice or receipt evidencing such account, if any, as may be forwarded to the Custodian by the Banking Institution. The responsibilities of the Custodian to each Fund for Interest Bearing Deposits accepted on the Custodian's books in the United States of America on behalf of the Fund's Portfolios shall be that of a U.S. bank for a similar deposit. The responsibilities of the Custodian to each Fund for Interest Bearing Deposits accepted on the Custodian's books in one of its non-U.S. branches on behalf of the Fund's Portfolios shall be that of a non-U.S. branch of a U.S. bank for a similar deposit. With respect to Interest Bearing Deposits other than those accepted on the Custodian's books, (a) the Custodian shall be responsible for the collection of income as set forth in Section 2.15 and the transmission of cash and instructions to and from such accounts; and (b) the Custodian shall have no duty with respect to the selection of the Banking Institution or, so long as the Custodian acts in accordance with Proper Instructions, for the failure of such Banking Institution to pay upon demand. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall take such reasonable actions as the applicable Fund deems necessary or appropriate to cause each such Interest Bearing Deposit Account to be insured to the maximum extent possible by all applicable deposit insurers including, without limitation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

ARTICLE II.13. Foreign Exchange Transactions.

(a) Foreign Exchange Transactions Other Than as Principal. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall settle foreign exchange contracts or options to purchase and sell foreign currencies for spot and future delivery on behalf of and for the account of a Portfolio with such currency brokers or Banking Institutions as the applicable Fund may determine and direct pursuant to Proper Instructions. The Custodian shall be responsible for the transmission of cash and instructions to and from the currency broker or Banking Institution with which the contract or option is made, the safekeeping of all certificates and other documents and agreements evidencing or relating to such foreign exchange transactions and the maintenance of proper records as set forth in Section 2.25. The Custodian shall have no duty with respect to the selection of the currency brokers or Banking Institutions with which a Fund deals on behalf of its Portfolios or, so long as the Custodian acts in accordance with Proper Instructions, for the failure of such brokers or Banking Institutions to comply with the terms of any contract or option.

(b) Foreign Exchange Contracts as Principal. The Custodian shall not be obligated to enter into foreign exchange transactions as principal. However, if the Custodian has made available to a Fund its services as a principal in foreign exchange transactions, upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall enter into foreign exchange contracts or options to purchase and sell foreign currencies for spot and future delivery on behalf of and for the account of a Portfolio of such Fund with the Custodian as principal. The Custodian shall be responsible for the selection of the currency brokers or Banking Institutions and the failure of such currency brokers or Banking Institutions to comply with the terms of any contract or option.

(c) Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon receipt of Proper Instructions the Custodian may, in connection with a foreign exchange contract, make free outgoing payments of cash in the form of U.S. Dollars or foreign currency prior to receipt of confirmation of such foreign exchange contract or confirmation that the countervalue currency completing such contract has been delivered or received.

ARTICLE II.14. Securities Loans. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall, in connection with loans of securities by a Portfolio, deliver securities of such Portfolio to the borrower thereof prior to receipt of the collateral, if any, for such borrowing; provided that, in cases of loans of securities secured by cash collateral, the Custodian's instructions to the Securities System shall require that the Securities System deliver the securities of the Portfolio to the borrower thereof only upon receipt of the collateral for such borrowing. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall release the collateral received in respect of a loan of securities to the borrower against receipt of the loaned securities.

ARTICLE II.15. Collections. The Custodian shall, and shall cause each Subcustodian to: (a) collect amounts due and payable to each Fund with respect to portfolio securities and other assets of each of such Fund's Portfolios; (b) promptly credit to the account of each applicable Portfolio all income and other payments relating to portfolio securities and other assets held by the Custodian hereunder upon Custodian's receipt of such income or payments or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Custodian and the applicable Fund; (c) promptly endorse and deliver any instruments required to effect such collections; (d) promptly execute ownership and other certificates and affidavits for all federal, state and foreign tax purposes in connection with receipt of income, capital gains or other payments with respect to portfolio securities and other assets of each applicable Portfolio, or in connection with the purchase, sale or transfer of such securities or other assets; and (e) promptly file any certificates or other affidavits for the refund or reclaim of foreign taxes paid, and promptly notify each applicable Fund of any changes to law, interpretative rulings or procedures regarding such reclaims, and otherwise use all available measures customarily used to minimize the imposition of foreign taxes at source, and promptly inform each applicable Fund of alternative means of minimizing such taxes of which the Custodian shall become aware (or with the exercise of reasonable care should have become aware); provided, however, that with respect to portfolio securities registered in so-called street name, the Custodian shall use its best efforts to collect amounts due and payable to each Fund with respect to its Portfolios. The Custodian shall promptly notify each applicable Fund in writing by facsimile transmission, or in such other manner as each such Fund and the Custodian may agree in writing, if any amount payable with respect to portfolio securities or other assets of the Portfolios of such Fund(s) is not received by the Custodian when due. The Custodian shall not be responsible for the collection of amounts due and payable with respect to portfolio securities or other assets that are in default.

ARTICLE II.16. Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions. The Custodian shall promptly release funds or securities: (a) upon receipt of Proper Instructions, to one or more Distribution Accounts designated by the applicable Fund or Funds in such Proper Instructions; or (b) upon receipt of Special Instructions, as otherwise directed by the applicable Fund or Funds, for the purpose of the payment of dividends or other distributions to shareholders of each applicable Portfolio, and payment to shareholders who have requested repurchase or redemption of their shares of the Portfolio(s) (collectively, the "Shares"). For purposes of this Agreement, a "Distribution Account" shall mean an account established at a Banking Institution designated by the applicable Fund on behalf of one or more of its Portfolios in Special Instructions.

ARTICLE II.17. Proceeds from Shares Sold. The Custodian shall receive funds representing cash payments received for Shares issued or sold from time to time by the Funds, and shall promptly credit such funds to the account(s) of the applicable Portfolio(s). The Custodian shall promptly notify each applicable Fund of Custodian's receipt of cash in payment for Shares issued by such Fund by facsimile transmission or in such other manner as the Fund and Custodian may agree in writing. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall: (a) deliver all federal funds received by the Custodian in payment for Shares in payment for such investments as may be set forth in such Proper Instructions and at a time agreed upon between the Custodian and the applicable Fund; and (b) make federal funds available to the applicable Fund as of specified times agreed upon from time to time by the applicable Fund and the Custodian, in the amount of checks received in payment for Shares which are deposited to the accounts of each applicable Portfolio.

ARTICLE II.18. Proxies, Notices, Etc. The Custodian shall deliver to each applicable Fund, in the most expeditious manner practicable, all forms of proxies, all notices of meetings, and any other notices or announcements affecting or relating to securities owned by one or more of the applicable Fund's Portfolios that are received by the Custodian, any Subcustodian, or any nominee of either of them (or with the exercise of reasonable care that the Custodian, any Subcustodian, or any nominee of either of them should have become aware), and, upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall execute and deliver, or cause such Subcustodian or nominee to execute and deliver, such proxies or other authorizations as may be required. The Custodian recognizes that this requirement applies to all securities and that each Fund's investments in non-U.S. securities may entail proxies and notices, which, for the avoidance of doubt, are explicitly covered hereunder. In the event that a Fund invests in non-U.S. securities in a market in which the Custodian does not offer proxy voting services, the Custodian shall promptly notify such Fund. Except as directed pursuant to Proper Instructions, neither the Custodian nor any Subcustodian or nominee shall vote upon any such securities, or execute any proxy to vote thereon, or give any consent or take any other action with respect thereto. In the event that the Custodian is unable to vote upon any such securities in accordance with Proper Instructions for any reason including, but not limited to, the failure of the applicable Fund to deliver any necessary powers of attorney or other documentation, the Custodian shall promptly notify (subject to market practices and rules) the applicable Fund.

ARTICLE II.21. Bank Accounts.

(a) Accounts with the Custodian and any Subcustodians. The Custodian shall open and operate a bank account or accounts (hereinafter referred to collectively, as "Bank Accounts") on the books of the Custodian or any Subcustodian provided that such account(s) shall be in the name of the Custodian or a nominee of the Custodian, for the account of a Portfolio, and shall be subject only to the draft or order of the Custodian; and provided further, however, that such Bank Accounts in countries other than the United States of America may be held in an account of the Custodian containing only assets held by the Custodian as a fiduciary or custodian for customers, and provided further, that the records of the Custodian shall indicate at all times the Portfolio or other customer for which such securities and other assets are held in such account and the respective interests therein. Such Bank Accounts may be denominated in either U.S. Dollars or other currencies. The responsibilities of the Custodian to each applicable Fund for deposits accepted on the Custodian's books in the United States of America shall be that of a U.S. bank for a similar deposit. The responsibilities of the Custodian to each applicable Fund for deposits accepted on the Custodian's books in its non-U.S. branches shall be that of a non-U.S. branch of a U.S. bank for a similar deposit. The responsibilities of the Custodian to each applicable Fund for deposits accepted on any Subcustodian's books shall be governed by the provisions of Section 5.02.

(b) Accounts With Other Banking Institutions. The Custodian may open and operate Bank Accounts on behalf of a Portfolio, in the name of the Custodian or a nominee of the Custodian, at a Banking Institution other than the Custodian or any Subcustodian, provided that such account(s) shall be in the name of the Custodian or a nominee of the Custodian, for the account of a Portfolio, and shall be subject only to the draft or order of the Custodian; provided however, that such Bank Accounts may be held in an account of the Custodian containing only assets held by the Custodian as a fiduciary or custodian for customers, and provided further, that the records of the Custodian shall indicate at all times the Portfolio or other customer for which such securities and other assets are held in such account and the respective interests therein. Such Bank Accounts may be denominated in either U.S. Dollars or other currencies. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(a), the Custodian shall be responsible for the selection of the Banking Institution and for the failure of such Banking Institution to pay according to the terms of the deposit.

(c) Transfer Agent and Foreign Exchange Settlement Accounts. The Custodian maintains certain Bank Accounts at the Custodian on behalf of the Funds (the "Transfer Agent Accounts") to facilitate the efficient transfer of cash to and from (i) the Bank Accounts established and maintained at the Custodian and (ii) bank accounts established and maintained at Banking Institutions other than the Custodian or any Subcustodian. The Custodian also maintains certain Bank Accounts at the Custodian on behalf of the Funds (the "Foreign Exchange Accounts") to facilitate the settlement of foreign currency transactions on a net basis, for immediate further allocation to those Funds participating in each foreign currency transaction. Each of the Funds and Custodian agree that the Custodian shall provide the Transfer Agent Accounts and the Foreign Exchange Accounts established and maintained by such Custodian with the same treatment as other Bank Accounts established and maintained pursuant to this Agreement, and any and all applicable representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, agreement, rights, obligations or duties of the Funds or the Custodian with respect to such Transfer Agent Accounts and Foreign Exchange Accounts shall be governed by the corresponding provisions of this Agreement. The Custodian shall also specify in the records it maintains with respect to the Funds and their Bank Accounts and any other records maintained or required to be maintained by this Agreement or applicable regulatory requirements by the Custodian, its relationship as Custodian pursuant to which the Transfer Agent Accounts and the Foreign Exchange Accounts are maintained in order to comply with the any applicable rules, regulations, or other requirements of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Custodian agrees that such records shall be conclusive evidence of the individual and not joint interest of each Fund in any amounts then credited to the Transfer Agent Accounts or the Foreign Exchange Accounts. Each of the Transfer Agent Accounts and Foreign Exchange Accounts designated by the Funds is set forth on Appendix E to this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Funds have authorized Fidelity Service Company, Inc., Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. or any successor thereof to act on their behalf with respect to transactions involving the Transfer Agent Accounts.

(d) Deposit Insurance. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the Custodian shall take such reasonable actions as the applicable Fund deems necessary or appropriate to cause each deposit account established by the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.21 to be insured to the maximum extent possible by all applicable deposit insurers including, without limitation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Any Overdraft provided hereunder: (a) shall be payable on the next Business Day, unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Fund and the Custodian; and (b) shall accrue interest from the date of the Overdraft to the date of payment in full by the applicable Fund on behalf of the applicable Portfolio at a rate agreed upon in writing, from time to time, by the Custodian and the applicable Fund. The Custodian and each Fund 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, or to meet emergency expenses not reasonably foreseeable by such Fund. The Custodian shall promptly notify each applicable Fund in writing (an "Overdraft Notice") of any Overdraft by facsimile transmission or in such other manner as such Fund and the Custodian may agree in writing. At the request of the Custodian, each applicable Fund, on behalf of one or more of its Portfolios, shall pledge, assign and grant to the Custodian a security interest in certain specified securities of the applicable Portfolio, as security for Overdrafts provided to such Portfolio, under the terms and conditions set forth in Appendix "C" attached hereto.

ARTICLE II.32. Local Regulatory Matters.

ARTICLE III
PROPER INSTRUCTIONS, SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
AND RELATED MATTERS

ARTICLE III.1. Proper Instructions and Special Instructions.

(a) Proper Instructions. As used herein, the term "Proper Instructions" shall mean: (i) a tested telex, a written (including, without limitation, facsimile transmission) request, direction, instruction or certification signed or initialed by or on behalf of the applicable Fund by one or more Authorized Persons (as hereinafter defined); (ii) a telephonic or other oral communication by one or more Authorized Persons; or (iii) a communication effected directly between an electro-mechanical or electronic device or system (including, without limitation, computers) by or on behalf of the applicable Fund by one or more Authorized Persons; provided, however, that communications of the types described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above purporting to be given by an Authorized Person shall be considered Proper Instructions only if the Custodian reasonably believes such communications to have been given by an Authorized Person with respect to the transaction involved. Proper Instructions in the form of oral communications shall be confirmed by the applicable Fund by tested telex or in writing in the manner set forth in clause (i) above, but the lack of such confirmation shall in no way affect any action taken by the Custodian in reliance upon such oral instructions prior to the Custodian's receipt of such confirmation. Proper Instructions may relate to specific transactions or to types or classes of transactions, and may be in the form of standing instructions.

(b) Special Instructions. As used herein, the term "Special Instructions" shall mean Proper Instructions countersigned or confirmed in writing by the Treasurer or any Deputy or Assistant Treasurer of the applicable Fund or any other person designated by the Treasurer of such Fund in writing, which countersignature or confirmation shall be (i) included on the same instrument containing the Proper Instructions or on a separate instrument relating thereto, and (ii) delivered by hand, by facsimile transmission, or in such other manner as the applicable Fund and the Custodian agree in writing.

(c) Address for Proper Instructions and Special Instructions. Proper Instructions and Special Instructions shall be delivered to the Custodian at the address and/or telephone, telecopy or telex number agreed upon from time to time by the Custodian and the applicable Fund.

ARTICLE III.2. Authorized Persons. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, as appropriate, each Fund shall deliver to the Custodian, duly certified as appropriate by a Treasurer or any Deputy or Assistant Treasurer of such Fund, a certificate setting forth: (a) the names, titles, signatures and scope of authority of all persons authorized to give Proper Instructions or any other notice, request, direction, instruction, certificate or instrument on behalf of such Fund (collectively, the "Authorized Persons" and individually, an "Authorized Person"); and (b) the names, titles and signatures of those persons authorized to issue Special Instructions. Such certificate may be accepted and relied upon by the Custodian as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall be considered to be in full force and effect until delivery to the Custodian of a similar certificate to the contrary. Upon delivery of a certificate which deletes the name(s) of a person previously authorized by a Fund to give Proper Instructions or to issue Special Instructions, such persons shall no longer be considered an Authorized Person or authorized to issue Special Instructions for that Fund.

ARTICLE III.3. Persons Having Access to Assets of the Portfolios. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Authorized Person, Trustee, officer, employee or agent of any Fund shall have physical access to the assets of any Portfolio of that Fund held by the Custodian nor shall the Custodian deliver any assets of a Portfolio for delivery to an account of such person; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.03 shall prohibit (a) any Authorized Person from giving Proper Instructions, or any person authorized to issue Special Instructions from issuing Special Instructions, so long as such action does not result in delivery of or access to assets of any Portfolio prohibited by this Section 3.03; or (b) each Fund's independent certified public accountants from examining or reviewing the assets of the Portfolios of the Fund held by the Custodian. Each Fund shall deliver to the Custodian a written certificate identifying such Authorized Persons, Trustees, officers, employees and agents of such Fund.

ARTICLE III.4. Actions of Custodian Based on Proper Instructions and Special Instructions. So long as and to the extent that the Custodian acts in accordance with (a) Proper Instructions or Special Instructions, as the case may be, and (b) the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall not be responsible for the title, validity or genuineness of any property, or evidence of title thereof, received by it or delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

The Custodian may, from time to time, in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Article IV, appoint one or more Domestic Subcustodians, Foreign Subcustodians, Interim Subcustodians and Special Subcustodians to act on behalf of a Portfolio. (For purposes of this Agreement, all duly appointed Domestic Subcustodians, Foreign Subcustodians, Interim Subcustodians, and Special Subcustodians are hereinafter referred to collectively, as "Subcustodians.")

ARTICLE IV.1. Domestic Subcustodians. The Custodian may, at any time and from time to time, appoint any bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to act on behalf of one or more Portfolios as a subcustodian for purposes of holding cash, securities and other assets of such Portfolios and performing other functions of the Custodian within the United States (a "Domestic Subcustodian"); provided that, the Custodian shall notify each applicable Fund in writing of the identity and qualifications of any proposed Domestic Subcustodian at least thirty (30) days prior to appointment of such Domestic Subcustodian, and such Fund may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Custodian executed by an Authorized Person disapprove of the appointment of such Domestic Subcustodian. If, following notice by the Custodian to each applicable Fund regarding appointment of a Domestic Subcustodian and the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, such Fund shall have failed to notify the Custodian of its disapproval thereof, the Custodian may, in its discretion, appoint such proposed Domestic Subcustodian as its subcustodian.

(iii) The Custodian shall prepare written reports to the Board of Trustees or other governing body or entity of each Fund, on behalf of its applicable Portfolio(s), on an annual basis showing (A) the identity and qualifications of each Foreign Subcustodian authorized by the Custodian to hold Foreign Assets of the Fund(s) and Portfolio(s), (B) the placement of the Fund's and Portfolio's Foreign Assets with each such Foreign Subcustodian, (C) the country or countries in which each Foreign Subcustodian is authorized to hold Foreign Assets of the applicable Fund(s) and Portfolio(s) and (D) any material changes to the Custodian's foreign custody arrangements for the applicable Fund(s) and Portfolio(s) since the submission of the Custodian's last written report to the applicable Fund's Board of Trustees or other governing body or entity pursuant to this Section 4.02(a)(iii), including without limitation:

(iv) Each duly appointed Foreign Subcustodian and the countries where and clearing agencies through which they may hold Foreign Assets of the applicable Fund(s) and Portfolio(s) shall be listed on Appendix "B" attached hereto and dated as of the date of this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06(c) hereof.

(v) Each Fund shall be responsible for informing the Custodian sufficiently in advance of a proposed investment by itself or by one of its Portfolios which is to be held in a country in which no Foreign Subcustodian is authorized to act, in order that there shall be sufficient time for the Custodian to effect the appropriate arrangements with a proposed foreign subcustodian.

(vi) The Custodian shall provide the Funds or their respective designees, on behalf of their Portfolios, with written notification of any (A) proposed change in the Foreign Subcustodians included in the Custodian's global custody network or arrangements at least 30 Business Days prior to the effective date of the proposed change, if practicable or (B) termination, in whole or with respect to one or more specified jurisdictions, of its acceptance of the Board of Trustees or other governing body or entity of a Fund, on behalf of its applicable Portfolio(s), delegation and appointment as the Fund's "Foreign Custody Manager" at least 90 Business Days prior to the effective date of the proposed change or termination, unless, in either case, the Funds in their discretion permit a shorter notification period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Portfolio shall invest in a security or other asset to be held in a country in which no Foreign Subcustodian is authorized to act, the Custodian shall promptly notify the applicable Fund in writing by facsimile transmission or in such other manner as such Fund and Custodian shall agree in writing of the unavailability of an approved Foreign Subcustodian in such country; and the Custodian shall, upon receipt of Special Instructions, appoint any Person designated by the applicable Fund in such Special Instructions to hold such security or other asset. The subcustodian agreement between the Custodian and any Interim Custodian (as hereinafter defined) shall comply with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (including Rule 17f-5, if applicable) and the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Custodian shall comply with Section 4.02 (a)(i), (ii), (iii), and (vi) hereof with respect to the appointment of an Interim Custodian.

In connection with the appointment of any Special Subcustodian, the Custodian shall enter into a subcustodian agreement with the Special Subcustodian in form and substance approved by each applicable Fund, provided that such agreement shall in all events comply with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (including Rule17f-5, if applicable) and the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If any Special Custodian is a Foreign Custodian, the Custodian shall comply with Section 4.02 of this Agreement.

The Custodian shall (i) cause each Domestic Subcustodian and Foreign Subcustodian to, and (ii) use its best efforts to cause each Interim Subcustodian and Special Subcustodian to, perform all of its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcustodian agreement between the Custodian and such Subcustodian. In the event that the Custodian is unable to cause such Subcustodian to fully perform its obligations thereunder, the Custodian shall forthwith, upon the receipt of Special Instructions, terminate such Subcustodian with respect to each applicable Fund and, if necessary or desirable, appoint a replacement Subcustodian in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 or Section 4.02, as the case may be. In addition to the foregoing, the Custodian (A) may, at any time in its discretion, upon written notification to each applicable Fund, terminate any Domestic Subcustodian, Foreign Subcustodian or Interim Subcustodian, and (B) shall, upon receipt of Special Instructions, terminate any Subcustodian with respect to each applicable Fund, in accordance with the termination provisions under the applicable subcustodian agreement.

ARTICLE IV.5. Certification Regarding Foreign Subcustodians.

ARTICLE V
STANDARD OF CARE; INDEMNIFICATION

ARTICLE V.1. Standard of Care.

(a) General Standard of Care. The Custodian shall exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence in carrying out all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement (or such higher standard, if any, under Rule 17f-4), and shall be liable to each Fund for all losses, damages and expenses suffered or incurred by such Fund or its Portfolio(s) resulting from the failure of the Custodian to exercise such reasonable care and diligence (or to comport with such higher standard of care under Rule 17f-4, if any).

(b) Actions Prohibited by Applicable Law, Etc. In no event shall the Custodian incur liability hereunder if the Custodian or any Subcustodian, Securities System or Eligible Securities Depository, or any subcustodian, securities depository or securities system utilized by any such Subcustodian, or any nominee of the Custodian or any Subcustodian (individually, a "Person") is prevented, forbidden or delayed from performing, or omits to perform, any act or thing which this Agreement provides shall be performed or omitted to be performed, by reason of: (i) any provision of any present or future law or regulation or order of the United States of America, or any state thereof, or of any foreign country, or political subdivision thereof or of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (ii) any act of God or war or other similar circumstance beyond the control of the Custodian, unless, in each case, such delay or nonperformance is caused by (A) the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the applicable Person, or (B) a malfunction or failure of equipment operated or utilized by the applicable Person other than a malfunction or failure beyond such Person's control and which could not reasonably be anticipated and/or prevented by such Person.

(c) Mitigation by Custodian. Upon the occurrence of any event which causes or may cause any loss, damage or expense to any Fund or Portfolio, (i) the Custodian shall promptly notify the applicable Fund or Portfolio of the occurrence of such event, (ii) the Custodian shall cause any applicable Domestic Subcustodian or Foreign Subcustodian to, and (iii) the Custodian shall use its best efforts to cause any applicable Interim Subcustodian, Special Subcustodian or Eligible Securities Depository to, use all commercially reasonable efforts and take all reasonable steps under the circumstances to mitigate the effects of such event and to avoid continuing harm to the Funds and the Portfolios.

(d) Advice of Counsel. The Custodian shall be entitled to receive and act upon advice of counsel on all matters. The Custodian shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted in good faith pursuant to the advice of (i) counsel for the applicable Fund or Funds, or (ii) at the expense of the Custodian, such other counsel as the applicable Fund(s) and the Custodian may agree upon; provided however, with respect to the performance of any action or omission of any action upon such advice, the Custodian shall be required to conform to the standard of care set forth in Section 5.01(a).

(e) Expenses of the Funds. In addition to the liability of the Custodian under this Article V, the Custodian shall be liable to each applicable Fund for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Fund in connection with any claim by such Fund against the Custodian arising from the obligations of the Custodian hereunder, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by such Fund in asserting any such claim, and all expenses incurred by such Fund in connection with any investigations, lawsuits or proceedings relating to such claim; provided that, such Fund has recovered from the Custodian for such claim.

(f) Liability for Past Records. The Custodian shall have no liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by a Fund, insofar as such loss, damage or expense arises from the performance of the Custodian's duties hereunder by reason of the Custodian's reliance upon records that were maintained for such Fund by entities other than the Custodian prior to the Custodian's appointment as custodian for such Fund.

ARTICLE V.2. Liability of Custodian for Actions of Other Persons.

(a) Domestic Subcustodians and Foreign Subcustodians. The Custodian shall be liable for the actions or omissions of any Domestic Subcustodian or any Foreign Subcustodian to the same extent as if such action or omission was performed by the Custodian itself. In the event of any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by a Fund caused by or resulting from the actions or omissions of any Domestic Subcustodian or Foreign Subcustodian for which the Custodian would otherwise be liable, the Custodian shall promptly reimburse such Fund in the amount of any such loss, damage or expense.

(b) Interim Subcustodians. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 to the contrary, the Custodian shall not be liable to a Fund for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by such Fund or any of its Portfolios resulting from the actions or omissions of an Interim Subcustodian unless such loss, damage or expense is caused by, or results from, the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian; provided however, in the event of any such loss, damage or expense, the Custodian shall take all reasonable steps to enforce such rights as it may have against such Interim Subcustodian to protect the interests of the Funds and the Portfolios.

(c) Special Subcustodians and Additional Custodians. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 to the contrary and except as otherwise provided in any subcustodian agreement to which the Custodian, a Fund and any Special Subcustodian or Additional Custodian are parties, the Custodian shall not be liable to a Fund for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by such Fund or any of its Portfolios resulting from the actions or omissions of a Special Subcustodian or Additional Subcustodian, unless such loss, damage or expense is caused by, or results from, the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian; provided however, that in the event of any such loss, damage or expense, the Custodian shall take all reasonable steps to enforce such rights as it may have against any Special Subcustodian or Additional Custodian to protect the interests of the Funds and the Portfolios.

(d) Securities Systems and Eligible Securities Depositories. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 to the contrary, the Custodian shall not be liable to a Fund for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by such Fund or any of its Portfolios resulting from the use by the Custodian of a Securities System or Eligible Securities Depository, unless such loss, damage or expense is caused by, or results from, the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian; provided however, that in the event of any such loss, damage or expense, the Custodian shall take all reasonable steps to enforce such rights as it may have against the Securities System or Eligible Securities Depository to protect the interests of the Funds and the Portfolios.

(e) Reimbursement of Expenses. Each Fund agrees to reimburse the Custodian for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Custodian on behalf of such Fund in connection with the fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 5.02; provided however, that such reimbursement shall not apply to expenses occasioned by or resulting from the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian.

ARTICLE V.3. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, each Fund severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Custodian and its nominees from all loss, damage and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by the Custodian or its nominee caused by or arising from actions taken by the Custodian on behalf of such Fund in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided however, that such indemnity shall not apply to loss, damage and expense occasioned by or resulting from the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian or its nominee. In addition, each Fund agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify any Person against any liability incurred by reason of taxes assessed to such Person, or other loss, damage or expenses incurred by such Person, resulting from the fact that securities and other property of such Fund's Portfolios are registered in the name of such Person; provided however, that in no event shall such indemnification be applicable to income, franchise or similar taxes which may be imposed or assessed against any Person.

(b) Notice of Litigation, Right to Prosecute, Etc. No Fund shall be liable for indemnification under this Section 5.03 unless a Person shall have promptly notified such Fund in writing of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding brought against such Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 5.03. With respect to claims in such litigation or proceedings for which indemnity by a Fund may be sought and subject to applicable law and the ruling of any court of competent jurisdiction, such Fund shall be entitled to participate in any such litigation or proceeding and, after written notice from such Fund to any Person, such Fund may assume the defense of such litigation or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense in respect of that portion of the litigation for which such Fund may be subject to an indemnification obligation; provided however, a Person shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) at its own cost and expense, the defense of any such litigation or proceeding if such Fund has not acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Person with respect to such litigation or proceeding. If such Fund is not permitted to participate or control such litigation or proceeding under applicable law or by a ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction, such Person shall reasonably prosecute such litigation or proceeding. A Person shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in any such litigation or proceeding without providing each applicable Fund with adequate notice of any such settlement or judgment, and without each such Fund's prior written consent. All Persons shall submit written evidence to each applicable Fund with respect to any cost or expense for which they are seeking indemnification in such form and detail as such Fund may reasonably request.

ARTICLE V.4. Investment Limitations. If the Custodian has otherwise complied with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in performing its duties generally, and more particularly in connection with the purchase, sale or exchange of securities made by or for a Portfolio, the Custodian shall not be liable to the applicable Fund and such Fund agrees to indemnify the Custodian and its nominees, for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Custodian and its nominees arising out of any violation of any investment or other limitation to which such Fund is subject.

ARTICLE V.5. Fund's Right to Proceed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Fund shall have, at its election upon reasonable notice to the Custodian, the right to enforce, to the extent permitted by any applicable agreement and applicable law, the Custodian's rights against any Subcustodian, Securities System, Eligible Securities Depository or other Person for loss, damage or expense caused such Fund by such Subcustodian, Securities System, Eligible Securities Depository or other Person, and shall be entitled to enforce the rights of the Custodian with respect to any claim against such Subcustodian, Securities System, Eligible Securities Depository or other Person, which the Custodian may have as a consequence of any such loss, damage or expense, if and to the extent that such Fund has not been made whole for any such loss or damage. If the Custodian makes such Fund whole for any such loss or damage, the Custodian shall retain the ability to enforce its rights directly against such Subcustodian, Securities System, Eligible Securities Depository or other Person. Upon such Fund's election to enforce any rights of the Custodian under this Section 5.05, such Fund shall reasonably prosecute all actions and proceedings directly relating to the rights of the Custodian in respect of the loss, damage or expense incurred by such Fund; provided that, so long as such Fund has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Custodian under Section 5.03 hereof with respect to such claim, such Fund shall retain the right to settle, compromise and/or terminate any action or proceeding in respect of the loss, damage or expense incurred by such Fund without the Custodian's consent and provided further, that if such Fund has not made an acknowledgment of its obligation to indemnify, such Fund shall not settle, compromise or terminate any such action or proceeding without the written consent of the Custodian, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Custodian agrees to cooperate with each Fund and take all actions reasonably requested by such Fund in connection with such Fund's enforcement of any rights of the Custodian. Each Fund agrees to reimburse the Custodian for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Custodian on behalf of such Fund in connection with the fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 5.05; provided, however, that such reimbursement shall not apply to expenses occasioned by or resulting from the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian.

ARTICLE VI
COMPENSATION

On behalf of each of its Portfolios, each Fund shall compensate the Custodian in an amount, and at such times, as may be agreed upon in writing, from time to time, by the Custodian and such Fund.

ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION

ARTICLE VII.1. Termination of Agreement as to One or More Funds. With respect to each Fund, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the first to occur of: (a) termination by the Custodian by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed to such Fund, such termination to take effect not sooner than ninety (90) days after the date of such delivery; (b) termination by such Fund by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed to the Custodian, such termination to take effect not sooner than thirty (30) days after the date of such delivery; or (c) termination by such Fund by written notice delivered to the Custodian, based upon such Fund's determination that there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the Custodian is insolvent or that the financial condition of the Custodian is deteriorating in any material respect, in which case termination shall take effect upon the Custodian's receipt of such notice or at such later time as such Fund shall designate. In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 7.01 by any Fund (a "Terminating Fund"), each Terminating Fund shall make payment of all accrued fees and unreimbursed expenses with respect to such Terminating Fund within a reasonable time following termination and delivery of a statement to the Terminating Fund setting forth such fees and expenses. Each Terminating Fund shall identify in any notice of termination a successor custodian or custodians to which the cash, securities and other assets of its Portfolios shall, upon termination of this Agreement with respect to such Terminating Fund, be delivered. In the event that no written notice designating a successor custodian shall have been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date when termination of this Agreement as to a Terminating Fund shall become effective, the Custodian may deliver to a bank or trust company doing business in Boston, Massachusetts, of its own selection, having an aggregate capital, surplus, and undivided profits, as shown by its last published report, of not less than $25,000,000, all securities and other assets of such Terminating Fund's Portfolios held by the Custodian and all instruments held by the Custodian relative thereto and all other property of the Terminating Fund's Portfolios held by the Custodian under this Agreement. Thereafter, such bank or trust company shall be the successor of the Custodian with respect to such Terminating Fund under this Agreement. In the event that securities and other assets of such Terminating Fund's Portfolios remain in the possession of the Custodian after the date of termination hereof with respect to such Terminating Fund owing to a failure of the Terminating Fund to appoint a successor custodian, the Custodian shall be entitled to compensation for its services in accordance with the fee schedule most recently in effect, for such period as the Custodian retains possession of such securities and other assets, and the provisions of this Agreement relating to the duties and obligations of the Custodian and the Terminating Fund shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of the appointment of a successor custodian, it is agreed that the cash, securities and other property owned by a Terminating Fund and held by the Custodian, any Subcustodian or nominee shall be delivered to the successor custodian; and the Custodian agrees to cooperate with such Terminating Fund in the execution of documents and performance of other actions necessary or desirable in order to substitute the successor custodian for the Custodian under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII.2. Termination as to One or More Portfolios. This Agreement may be terminated as to one or more of a Fund's Portfolios (but less than all of its Portfolios) by delivery of an amended Appendix "A" deleting such Portfolios pursuant to Section 9.06(b) hereof, in which case termination as to such deleted Portfolios shall take effect thirty (30) days after the date of such delivery. The execution and delivery of an amended Appendix "A" which deletes one or more Portfolios shall constitute a termination of this Agreement only with respect to such deleted Portfolio(s), shall be governed by the preceding provisions of Section 7.01 as to the identification of a successor custodian and the delivery of cash, securities and other assets of the Portfolio(s) so deleted, and shall not affect the obligations of the Custodian and any Fund hereunder with respect to the other Portfolios set forth in Appendix "A," as amended from time to time.

(f) "Written Notice" shall mean a written notice executed by a duly authorized officer of the party delivering the notice and delivered by facsimile transmission or in such other manner as the applicable Fund and the Custodian shall agree in writing.

Section 2. Pledge of Collateral. To the extent that any Overdraft Obligations of a Portfolio are not satisfied by the close of business on the first Business Day following the Business Day on which the applicable Fund receives Written Notice requesting security for such Overdraft Obligation and stating the amount of such Overdraft Obligation, the applicable Fund, on behalf of such Portfolio, shall pledge, assign and grant to the Custodian a first priority security interest, by delivering to the Custodian, a Pledge Certificate executed by such Fund on behalf of such Portfolio describing the applicable Collateral. Such Written Notice may, in the discretion of the Custodian, be included within or accompany the Overdraft Notice relating to the applicable Overdraft Obligations.

Section 3. Failure to Pledge Collateral. In the event that the applicable Fund shall fail: (a) to pay, on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, the Overdraft Obligation described in such Written Notice; (b) to deliver to the Custodian a Pledge Certificate pursuant to Section 2; or (c) to identify substitute securities pursuant to Section 6 upon the sale or maturity of any securities identified as Collateral, the Custodian may, by Written Notice to the applicable Fund specify Collateral which shall secure the applicable Overdraft Obligation. Such Fund, on behalf of any applicable Portfolio, hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Custodian a first priority security interest in any and all Collateral specified in such Written Notice; provided that such pledge, assignment and grant of security shall be deemed to be effective only upon receipt by the applicable Fund of such Written Notice.

Section 4. Delivery of Additional Collateral. If at any time the Custodian shall notify a Fund by Written Notice that the fair market value of the Collateral securing any Overdraft Obligation of one of such Fund's Portfolios is less than the amount of such Overdraft Obligation, such Fund, on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, shall deliver to the Custodian, within one (1) Business Day following the Fund's receipt of such Written Notice, an additional Pledge Certificate describing additional Collateral. If such Fund shall fail to deliver such additional Pledge Certificate, the Custodian may specify Collateral which shall secure the unsecured amount of the applicable Overdraft Obligation in accordance with Section 3 of this Appendix C.

Section 5. Release of Collateral. Upon payment by a Fund, on behalf of one of its Portfolios, of any Overdraft Obligation secured by the pledge of Collateral, the Custodian shall promptly deliver to such Fund a Release Certificate pursuant to which the Custodian shall release Collateral from the lien under the applicable Pledge Certificate or Written Notice pursuant to Section 3 having a fair market value equal to the amount paid by such Fund on account of such Overdraft Obligation. In addition, if at any time a Fund shall notify the Custodian by Written Notice that such Fund desires that specified Collateral be released and: (a) that the fair market value of the Collateral securing any Overdraft Obligation shall exceed the amount of such Overdraft Obligation; or (b) that the Fund has delivered a Pledge Certificate substituting Collateral for such Overdraft Obligation, the Custodian shall deliver to such Fund, within one (1) Business Day following the Custodian's receipt of such Written Notice, a Release Certificate relating to the Collateral specified in such Written Notice.

Section 6. Substitution of Collateral. A Fund may substitute securities for any securities identified as Collateral by delivery to the Custodian of a Pledge Certificate executed by such Fund on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, indicating the securities pledged as Collateral.

Section 7. Security for Individual Portfolios' Overdraft Obligations. The pledge of Collateral by a Fund on behalf of any of its individual Portfolios shall secure only the Overdraft Obligations of such Portfolio. In no event shall the pledge of Collateral by one of a Fund's Portfolios be deemed or considered to be security for the Overdraft Obligations of any other Portfolio of such Fund or of any other Fund.

Section 8. Custodian's Remedies. Upon (a) a Fund's failure to pay any Overdraft Obligation of an applicable Portfolio within thirty (30) days after receipt by such Fund of a Written Notice demanding security therefore, and (b) one (1) Business Day's prior Written Notice to such Fund, the Custodian may elect to enforce its security interest in the Collateral securing such Overdraft Obligation, by taking title to (at the then prevailing fair market value), or selling in a commercially reasonable manner, so much of the Collateral as shall be required to pay such Overdraft Obligation in full. Notwithstanding the provisions of any applicable law, including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code, the remedy set forth in the preceding sentence shall be the only right or remedy to which the Custodian is entitled with respect to the pledge and security interest granted pursuant to any Pledge Certificate or Section 3. Without limiting the foregoing, the Custodian hereby waives and relinquishes all contractual and common law rights of set off to which it may now or hereafter be or become entitled with respect to any obligations of any Fund to the Custodian arising under this Appendix "C" to the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Appendix to be executed in its name and behalf on the day and year first above written.
