All amounts indemnified by the UNDERWRITER for attorneys’ fees and court costs shall be in addition to the Limit of Liability stated in ITEM 3. of the DECLARATIONS.

If the UNDERWRITER declines to defend the INSURED, no settlement or judgment against the INSURED shall determine the existence, extent or amount of coverage under this bond without the prior written consent of the UNDERWRITER and the UNDERWRITER shall not be liable for any costs, fees and expenses incurred by the INSURED.

The value of any loss of “Property”, other than books of account or other records used by the INSURED in the conduct of its business, shall be determined by the average market value of such “Property” on the business day immediately preceding discovery of such loss except that the value of any “Property” replaced by the INSURED with the consent of the UNDERWRITER prior to the settlement of any claim for such “Property”, shall be the actual market value at the time of replacement.

In the event of a loss of interim certificates, warrants, rights or other securities, (as used herein, “options”) which need to be presented to exercise the subscription, conversion, redemption or deposit privileges, their value shall be:

a.      if such options have not expired, the average market value of such options on the business day immediately preceding the discovery of such loss, or the actual market value at the time of agreed replacement as provided in the preceding paragraph, or

b.      if such options have expired at the time their loss is discovered, their market value immediately preceding their expiration, or

c.      if no market price is quoted for such “Property” or for such options, the value shall be determined by agreement between the parties, or arbitration if the parties are unable to agree to the value.

The value of any loss of “Property” consisting of books of account or other records used by the INSURED in the conduct of its business shall be the amount paid by the INSURED for blank books, blank pages, or other materials which replace the lost books of account or other records, plus the cost of labor paid by the INSURED for the actual transcription or copying of data to reproduce such books of account or other records.

IX.    VALUATION OF PREMISES AND FURNISHINGS

In the event of loss or damage to any office of the INSURED or to the furnishings, fixtures, supplies, equipment, safes or vaults, the UNDERWRITER shall not be liable for more than the actual cash value thereof, or for more than the actual cost of replacement or repair.  The UNDERWRITER may, at its option, pay actual cash value or make replacement or repair.  In the event the UNDERWRITER and the INSURED cannot agree upon the actual cash value or the cost of replacement or repair, it shall be determined by arbitration.

X.     SECURITIES SETTLEMENT

In the event of a loss of securities covered under this bond, the UNDERWRITER may, at its sole option, purchase replacement securities, tender the value of the securities in money, or issue its indemnity in order to allow the issuance of replacement securities.

Indemnity will be required from the INSURED under the terms of this Section against all loss, cost or expense arising from the replacement of securities by the UNDERWRITERS.  The amount of such indemnity from the INSURED shall be:

(1)    for securities having a value of less than or equal to the applicable Deductible — one hundred percent (100%);

(2)    for securities having a value greater than the Deductible but within the applicable Limit of Liability — the percentage that the Deductible bears to the value of the securities;

(3)    for securities having a value greater than the applicable Limit of Liability — the percentage that the Deductible and the portion in excess of the applicable Limit of Liability bears to the value of the securities.

The value referred to in (1), (2), and (3) above is the value provided for in SECTION VIII. VALUATION OF “PROPERTY”, regardless of the value of such securities at the time the loss under the UNDERWRITER’S indemnity is sustained.

The UNDERWRITER is not required to issue its indemnity for any portion of a loss of securities which is not covered by this bond; however, the UNDERWRITER may do so at its sole option.

The INSURED shall pay the applicable proportion of the UNDERWRITER’S premium charge for the UNDERWRITER’S indemnity as set for in (1), (2), and (3) above.  No portion of the Limit of Liability shall be used as payment of premium for any indemnity purchased by the INSURED to obtain replacement securities.

XI.    SUBROGATION — ASSIGNMENT — RECOVERY

In the event of a payment under this bond by the UNDERWRITER, the UNDERWRITER shall be subrogated to all of the INSURED’S rights of recovery against any person or entity to the extent of such payment.  On the request of the UNDERWRITER, the INSURED shall deliver to the UNDERWRITER an assignment of the INSURED’S rights, title and interest and causes of action against any person or entity to the extent of such payment.

Recoveries, whether realized by the UNDERWRITER or by the INSURED, shall be applied after deducting the expense of such recovery, first to the INSURED’S loss which would otherwise have been paid except that it exceeds the applicable Limit of Liability, second, to the UNDERWRITER to amounts paid in settlement of the INSURED’S claim and third, to the INSURED to the applicable Deductible.  Recovery from reinsurance and/or indemnity of the UNDERWRITER shall not be a recovery under this section.

XII. COOPERATION OF INSURED

At the UNDERWRITER’S request and at reasonable times and places designated by the UNDERWRITER, the INSURED shall submit to examination by the UNDERWRITER and subscribe to the same under oath, produce for the UNDERWRITER’S examination and copying, at its own expense all relevant records, and cooperate with the UNDERWRITER in all matters pertaining to the loss.

The INSURED shall execute all papers and provide assistance to secure for the UNDERWRITER the rights and causes of action provided for under this bond.  The INSURED shall do nothing after loss to prejudice such rights or causes of action.

XIII. OTHER INSURANCE

Coverage under this bond shall apply excess over any valid and collectible insurance, indemnity or suretyship obtained by or on behalf of the INSURED or a “Transportation Company” or other entity on whose premises the loss occurred or which employed the person who caused the loss or engaged the messenger conveying the “Property” which was the subject of the loss.

XIV.   TERMINATION-CANCELLATION

If the bond is for a single INSURED, it shall not be terminated or canceled unless written notice is given by the acting party to the affected party and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of such termination or cancellation.

If the bond is for a joint INSURED, it shall not be terminated or canceled unless written notice is given by the acting party to the affected party, and by the UNDERWRITER to all INSURED “Investment Companies” and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of such termination or cancellation.

This bond will terminate as to any one INSURED, other than an “Investment Company”, immediately upon the taking over of such INSURED by a receiver or other liquidator or by State or Federal officials, or immediately upon the filing of a petition under any State or Federal statute relative to bankruptcy or reorganization of the INSURED, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the INSURED, or immediately upon such INSURED ceasing to exist, whether through merger with another entity, disposition of all of its assets or otherwise.

The UNDERWRITER shall refund the unearned premium in accordance with the standard short rate cancellation tables if terminated by the INSURED or pro rata if terminated for any other reason.

Coverage will terminate as to any “Employee”:

(1)    at the time that any partner, director, trustee, or officer or supervisory “Employee” not acting in collusion with such “Employee”, learns of any dishonest act committed by such “Employee” at any time, whether in the employment of the INSURED or otherwise, whether or not such act is of the type covered under this bond, and whether against the INSURED or any other person or entity or

(2)    sixty (60) days after the receipt by each INSURED and by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., of a written notice from the UNDERWRITER of its desire to terminate this bond as to such “Employee”.

XV. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION

No change in or modification of this bond shall be effective except by written rider to this bond issued by an Authorized Representative of the UNDERWRITER.

If this bond is for a single INSURED, no change or modification which adversely affects the rights of the INSURED shall be effective prior to sixty (60) days after written notice of such change or modification has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., by the acting party.

If this bond is for a joint INSURED, no change or modification which adversely affects the rights of the INSURED shall be effective prior to sixty (60) days after written notice of such change or modification has been furnished to all insured “Investment Companies” and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., by the UNDERWRITER.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of April 2009.

AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE ALLOCATION OF

FIDELITY BOND PREMIUMS AND RECOVERIES

AGREEMENT dated the 18th day of December 2008 among RMR Real Estate Fund, RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund, RMR F.I.R.E. Fund, RMR Preferred Dividend Fund, RMR Dividend Capture Fund, RMR Funds Series Trust, RMR Real Estate Income Fund and New RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund (each, a “Fund,” together, the “Funds”):

WHEREAS , each of the Funds is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

WHEREAS , each of the Funds is a named insured under certain fidelity bond coverage that may be in effect from time to time (the “Fidelity Bond”), which Fidelity Bond is intended to be in full compliance with Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act; and

WHEREAS , the Funds desire to enter into an agreement in order to meet the requirements of Rule 17g-1(f) and to assure that premiums on the Fidelity Bond and any recovery received under the Fidelity Bond are allocated in a fair and equitable manner;

NOW, THEREFORE , the Funds do hereby agree as follows:

1.             Joint Insured Bond.  The Funds have procured from The Hartford Casualty Insurance Company, a reputable fidelity insurance company, the Fidelity Bond insuring each Fund against larceny and embezzlement of its securities and funds by such of its officers and employees who may, singly or jointly with others, have access to such securities or funds, directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such securities. The Fidelity Bond names each Fund as an insured, and complies with the requirements established by Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.

2.             Amount.  The Fidelity Bond is in an amount, based upon the total assets of each Fund, equal to or in excess of the aggregate of the minimum coverage required for each of the Funds under Rule 17g-1. The minimum coverage required for a Fund under Rule 17g-1(d)(1) shall be referred to herein as the “ Minimum Coverage Amount ”.

3.             Allocation of Premium.   As of the date of this Agreement and on the date any renewal or additional premium is due, each Fund will pay the percentage of the premium due under the Fidelity Bond which is proportionate to the ratio of (a) the amount of premium that would have been payable by the Fund had the Fund separately obtained a fidelity bond equal to its Minimum Coverage Amount, to (b) the aggregate amount of the premiums that would have been payable by all Funds had each Fund separately obtained a fidelity bond equal to its Minimum Coverage Amount.

1

4.             Allocation of Proceeds.

a.                In the event any recovery under the Fidelity Bond is received as a result of a loss sustained by any of the Funds, then each Fund sustaining such loss shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, said proportion to be established by the ratio that the claim bears to the total amount claimed by all participants, but at least equal to the amount which each such Fund would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the Minimum Coverage Amount.

b.               If the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such Fund sustaining a loss, the recovery shall be allocated among such Funds as follows:

i.       Each Fund sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the Minimum Coverage Amount.

ii.    The remaining portion of the proceeds shall be allocated to each Fund sustaining a loss not fully covered by the allocation under subparagraph (i) in the proportion that each such Fund’s gross assets as of the end of the month preceding the loss bears to the sum of the gross assets of all such Funds. If such allocation would result in any Fund sustaining a loss receiving a portion of the recovery in excess of the loss actually sustained by such Fund, the aggregate of such excess portions shall be allocated among the other Funds whose losses would not be fully indemnified in the same proportion as each such Fund’s gross assets bear to the sum of the gross assets of all Funds entitled to receive a share of the excess (both determined as of the month end of each Fund preceding the loss). Any allocation in excess of a loss actually sustained by any such Fund shall be reallocated in the same manner.

5.             Additional Funds.   If in the future any additional fund is created (an “Additional Fund”), and if the insurer is willing to add the Additional Fund as a named insured under the Fidelity Bond, provided that the amount of the Fidelity Bond is increased by an amount such that the Fidelity Bond will continue to comply with Section 2 hereof, and upon giving written notice to the funds then covered under the Fidelity Bond (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Funds and any Additional Funds added as named insureds under the Fidelity Bond pursuant to this Section 5 after the date of this Agreement), such Additional Fund shall become subject to this Agreement.

2

6.             Limitation of Liability.   The obligations of each Fund, entered into in the name or on behalf of the Fund, by any of the Trustees, officers, representatives or agents are made not individually, but in such capacities, and are not binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, officers, representatives or agents of the Fund personally, but bind only the respective Fund property, and all persons dealing with any class of shares of the Funds must look solely to the Fund property belonging to such class for the enforcement of any claims against the Funds.

7.             No Assignment.   This Agreement is not assignable.

8.             Governing Law.   The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

9.             Notices.   All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the appropriate Fund at 400 Centre Street, Newton, Massachusetts 02458.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned entities has caused this Agreement to be executed by an officer thereunder duly authorized as of the date first written above.
