Ladies and Gentlemen:
GMO Trust hereby notifies you that it has established two additional series
of shares, namely, GMO International Core Equity Fund and GMO International
Growth Equity Fund (the "New Funds"). The Trust (as defined in each of the
Custodian Agreement and the Delegation Schedule) desires that you serve as (i)
custodian of the assets of the New Funds under the terms of the Custodian
Agreement and (ii) delegate with respect to the assets of the New Funds under
the terms of the Delegation Schedule.
If you agree to so serve as the custodian and delegate for the New Funds,
kindly sign and return to the Trust the enclosed counterpart hereof, whereupon
each of the New Funds shall be deemed a "Fund" under each of the Custodian
Agreement and Delegation Schedule. This letter agreement shall constitute an
amendment to each of the Custodian Agreement and the Delegation Agreement and,
as such, a binding agreement among the Trust, GMO (only in the case of the
Custodian Agreement) and you in accordance with its terms.
Sincerely,
GMO TRUST
