Attn: Group Vice President - Full Service
Dear Sir or Madam:
Xxxx Xxxxxx Investment Trust (the "Fund"), as a party to the Agency
Agreement by and between the Lord Xxxxxx Family of Funds and DST Systems, Inc.
dated July 1, 2004 (the "Agreement"), requests an amendment to the Agreement
pursuant to Sections 20.14, 2.3, and 2.2.
Section 20.14 provides that the Agreement may be "amended,
supplemented, or modified only by an amendment." Section 2.3 of the Agreement
provides that, "In the event that a ... new series of a Fund is created in any
existing business trust...which is registered as an Investment Company under the
1940 Act on the Agent's System as of the Execution Date, such ...series thereof
shall engage the Agent to perform the Services under this Agreement by executing
and delivering to the Agent a document accepting this Agreement (including
giving effect to all Amendments and Service Orders that have become effective
after the Execution Date), together with such documentation as is described by
Section 2.2 [(captioned "Documentation")] and otherwise appropriate. The
appointment of the Agent on behalf of...any new series of a Fund shall become
effective upon the Agent's receipt of such counterpart executed by such
....series of a new Fund."
This letter is to notify DST Systems, Inc. that on June 23, 2005, the
Fund's Board executed an Amendment to the Declaration and Agreement of Trust
establishing two new Series of the Fund (the "Series"), the legal names of which
are as follows: Xxxx Xxxxxx Income Strategy Fund (Classes A, B, C, P, and Y) and
Lord Xxxxxx World Growth & Income Strategy Fund (Classes A, B, C, P, and Y). It
is the Fund's desire to have DST Systems render services as transfer agent,
dividend disbursing agent, and shareholder servicing agent to the Series under
the terms of the Agreement; therefore, the Fund requests that DST Systems, Inc.
agree, in writing, to provide such services to the Series thereby making each of
the Series a series under the terms of the Agreement.
Attached is a Secretary's Certificate and accompanying resolutions and
documentation in accordance with the Agreement.
The registration statement for the Series will become effective on
June 29, 2005. Accordingly, we appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
Please indicate DST Systems, Inc.'s acceptance by signing below and returning a
copy to me.
