Ladies and Gentlemen:
GMO Trust hereby notifies you that it has established one additional series of shares, namely,
GMO Special Situations Fund (the “New Fund”). The Trust (as defined in each of the Custodian
Agreement and the Delegation Agreement) desires that you serve as (i) custodian of the assets of
the New Fund under the terms of the Custodian Agreement and (ii) delegate with respect to the
assets of the New Fund under the terms of the Delegation Agreement.
If you agree to so serve as custodian and delegate for the New Fund, kindly sign and return to
the Trust the enclosed counterpart hereof, whereupon the New Fund shall be deemed a “Fund” under
each of the Custodian Agreement and Delegation Agreement. This letter agreement shall constitute
an amendment to 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, | ||||||
