FIDELITY BOND CLAIM AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER FIDELITY BOND CLAIM AGREEMENT dated November 1, 1993, as amended and restated June 12, 2002, as amended and restated March 1, 2008, by and among (i) each of the funds listed from time to time in Exhibit A (collectively, the “Funds” or “Fund Parties”) and (ii) Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS”), MFS Service Center, Inc. (“MFSC”), MFS Fund Distributors, Inc. (“MFD”), MFS Heritage Trust Company, MFS Institutional Advisors, Inc., and MFS International Ltd., (collectively, the “MFS Parties”).

WHEREAS, MFS or certain other MFS Parties act as investment adviser to all of the Funds and certain other clients, MFD acts as distributor for certain of the Funds and MFSC acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the Funds; and from time to time hereafter each may act in the same capacities with respect to other clients including other investment companies;

WHEREAS, all the parties hereto are named insureds under broker’s blanket bonds issued by each of the insurance companies listed from time to time in Exhibit B, and/or such other insurance companies as from time to time may insure parties hereto as such bonds may be amended and/or restated from time to time (collectively the “Bonds”);

WHEREAS, the parties desire to establish (i) the criteria by which the premium for the Bonds shall be allocated among the parties, (ii) the basis on which additional investment companies for which MFS, or any subsidiary thereof, may hereafter act as investment adviser and/or for which MFD may act as distributor, and additional affiliates of MFS may from time to time be added as named insureds under the Bonds and (iii) the criteria by which losses in excess of the face amounts of the Bonds shall be allocated among the parties.

NOW THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

1. Each of the Funds shall pay a portion of each premium which shall be determined as of a specified date (the “Date”) which is the same date for all Fund Parties by calculating the proportion which the minimum amount of fidelity bond coverage required for such Fund (calculated in accordance with Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“Rule 17g-1”)) bears to the total amount of coverage provided for under the Bonds and applying said proportion to the total annual premium.  The amount remaining after calculating the portions of the premium to be paid by the Funds shall be paid by MFS or such MFS Parties as MFS shall determine.

---

2. If one or more of the insurance companies listed in Exhibit B (or such other insurers as from time to time may insure the parties hereto) are willing without additional premium until the next renewal date to add, as an insured under any of the Bonds, (i) any investment company permitted to be included on the Bonds pursuant to Rule 17g-1 for which MFS (or any subsidiary thereof) may act as investment adviser and/or for which MFD may act as distributor, or (ii) any affiliate of MFS permitted to be included on the Bonds pursuant to Rule 17g-1, the parties hereto agree (a) that such addition may be made, (b) that such investment company shall become a party to this Agreement and be included within the terms “Funds” and “Fund Parties” and (c) that such affiliate shall become a party to this Agreement and be included within the term “MFS Parties.”

3. In the event that the claims of loss of two or more insureds under the Bonds are so related that the insurer is entitled to assert that the claims must be aggregated with the result that the claims exceed the face amount of the Bonds but the total amount payable on such claims is limited to the face amount of the Bonds, the following rules for determining, as among such insureds, the priority of satisfaction of the claims under the Bonds shall apply:

A.	All claims of Funds which have been duly proved and established under the Bonds shall be satisfied in full before satisfaction of any claims of MFS or other MFS Parties, if any.

B.	If the claims of Funds which have been duly proved and established under the Bonds exceed the face amount of the Bonds, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to those claims in the following manner:

(i)	first, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the claim of each Fund up to its respective minimum fidelity bond requirement as determined pursuant to paragraph one above with respect to the Funds; and

(ii)	the remaining amount of insurance proceeds then shall be applied to the unsatisfied claims of the Funds in proportion to their respective minimum fidelity bond requirements as determined pursuant to paragraph one above with respect to the Funds.

C.	If after giving effect to Paragraph A there remains a portion of the insurance under the Bonds available for the satisfaction of claims of MFS or other MFS Parties, if any, which have been duly proved and established under the Bonds, such remainder shall be applied as MFS shall determine.

4. This Agreement hereby supercedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements among the parties hereto (or any two or more of them) (which other agreements may include other parties) relating to the subject matter hereof.

5. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

6. Exhibit A hereto may be amended from time to time to reflect the changes in the funds insured under the Bonds.

---

7. Exhibit B hereto may be amended from time to time to reflect the changes in the insurance companies issuing the Bonds.

8. A copy of the Declaration of Trust of each Fund is on file with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Each party hereto acknowledges that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Fund’s Trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders individually, but are binding solely upon the assets and property of the Fund.  If this Agreement is executed by the Fund on behalf of one or more series of the Fund, each party hereto further acknowledges that the assets and liabilities of each series are separate and distinct and that the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement concerning a series are binding solely upon the assets or property of such series and not upon the assets or property of any other series.

9. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the prior written consent of the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered in their names and on their behalf by the undersigned officers, thereunto duly authorized, all as of the first day of March 2008.

		Automated Phone System Insuring Clause
		Loss resulting directly from the ASSURED having transferred funds on the faith of any Automated Phone

		fraudulent and is made with the intent to deceive. In order for coverage to apply under this Insuring
		Clause the ASSURED shall maintain and follow all APS Designated Procedures with respect to APS
		Transactions. The isolated failure of the ASSURED to maintain and follow a particular APS Designated

		Insuring Clause subject to the exclusions herein and in this Bond.
(2	)	For purposes of this endorsement, the following terms shall apply:
		Automated Phone System or APS means an automated system which receives and converts to
		executable instructions transmissions over the telephone through use of a touch-tone keypad or other

		through an Automated Phone System.

		a telephone keypad or voice recognition system.
		APS Election means any election concerning various account features available to Fund shareholders
		which is made over the telephone by means of information transmitted by an individual caller through
		use of a telephone keypad or voice recognition system. These features include account statements, auto
		exchange, auto asset builder, automatic withdrawal, dividend/capital gain options, dividend sweep,
		telephone balance consent and change of address.
		APS Exchange means any exchange of shares in a registered account of one Fund into shares in an
		account with the same tax identification number and same ownership-type code of another Fund in the
		same complex pursuant to exchange privileges of the two Funds, which exchange is requested over the
		telephone by means of information transmitted by an Individual caller through use of a telephone keypad

(3	)	Identity Test: The caller in any request for an APS Transaction, must first input his/her account

representative or may be immediately connected to such a representative.
		(d)	Written Confirmation: A written confirmation of any APS Purchase, Redemption, Exchange
			or change of address shall be mailed to the shareholder(s) to whose account such
			transaction relates, at the record address, by the end of the ASSURED’S next regular
			processing cycle, but in no event later than five (5) business days following such APS
			Transaction.
		(e)	Access to APS Equipment: Access to the equipment which permits the entity receiving the
			APS Transaction request to process and effect the transaction shall be limited in the
			following manner: The Shareholder Services Group, Inc., accesses the hardware housing the
			Mutual Fund On-Line system which effects transactions.
(3) With respect to the coverage afforded pursuant to the Automated Phone Systems Insuring Clause, this
Bond does not directly or indirectly cover any loss resulting from:
(1	)	the redemption of shares, where the proceeds of such redemption are made payable to other than
		(i) the shareholder of record, or (ii) a person designated to receive redemption proceeds, or (iii) a
		bank account designated to receive redemption proceeds; or

		redemption, or (ii) designated, or (iii) verified by any other procedures, if such procedures are
		stated below in this Endorsement; or
