agreement which specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating
provisions. This waiver is available only for shares purchased directly

organization principally engaged in the brokerage business, unless the

execute a Fidelity Trust load waiver agreement which specifies certain
aggregate minimum and operating provisions. This waiver is available only
for shares purchased either directly from Fidelity or through a
bank-affiliated broker, and is unavailable if the trust department or
institution is part of an organization not principally engaged in banking
or trust activities; or
(13) to shares purchased as part of a pension or profit-sharing plan as
defined in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code that maintains all
of its mutual fund assets in Fidelity mutual funds, provided the plan
executes a Fidelity non-prototype sales charge waiver request form
confirming its qualification.
