RE: CUSTODIAN CONTRACT
Dear Xxxxx:
In accordance with our recent discussions regarding State Street's
continued custody of only our Funds' foreign securities, I propose that,
effective upon the conversion of the Funds' domestic securities to Investors
Fiduciary Trust Company, the first paragraph of Section 1 of the Custodian
Contract with each of Janus Investment Fund, Janus Twenty Fund, Inc., Janus
Venture Fund, Inc. and Janus Income Series be amended as follows:
"The Fund hereby employs the Custodian as the custodian of its securities
it desires to be held outside the United States and cash or cash
equivalents incidental thereto ("foreign securities") pursuant to the
provisions of the Declaration of Trust [Articles of Incorporation]. The
Fund agrees to deliver to the Custodian all foreign securities owned by it
from time to time. The Custodian shall not be responsible for any property
of the Fund held or received by the Fund and not delivered to the
Custodian."
Please indicate State Street's agreement to the foregoing by returning
to me a copy of this letter executed by the appropriate person in the space
provided below.
Very truly yours,
Janus Investment Fund
Janus Twenty Fund, Inc.
Janus Venture Fund, Inc.
Janus Income Series
