Section 17 of the Agreement provides that: “in the event that a Fund establishes one or more series with respect to which it desires to have State Street render services as custodian and recordkeeper under the terms of the Agreement, it shall so notify State Street in writing, and if State Street agrees in writing to provide such services, such series of Shares shall become a Portfolio under the terms of the Agreement.” This Letter Amendment is to notify State Street that on September 18, 2018 Xxxx Xxxxxx established Lord Xxxxxx Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”), a Lord Xxxxxx-sponsored investment company that is operated as an interval fund and is organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
