| 2. | Each party represents to the other that this Amendment has been duly executed. |
| 3. | Schedule A of the Custody Agreement, as amended by Exhibit I to this Amendment, shall become effective for each Fund as of the date of first service as listed in Exhibit I hereto upon execution by the parties hereto. From and after the execution hereof, any reference to the Custody Agreement shall be a reference to the Custody Agreement as amended hereby.

The exchange of executed counterparts of this Amendment or of executed signature pages to counterparts of this Amendment, in either case by facsimile transmission or as an imaged document attached to an email transmission, shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Amendment and may be used for all purposes in lieu of a manually executed and physically delivered copy of this Amendment. |
| 6. | If any provision of the Agreement including this Amendment is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, no other provision of the Agreement or this Amendment shall be affected, and all other provisions shall be enforced to the full extent of the law. |
| 7. | This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. |
