ARTICLE I - APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIAN
Each of the Funds hereby employs and appoints the Custodian as its
custodian, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE II - POWERS AND DUTIES OF CUSTODIAN
As custodian, the Custodian shall have and perform the powers and
duties, and only such powers and duties, as are set forth in this
Agreement.
Section 2.01. Establishment of Accounts. The Custodian shall
establish one or more Accounts as segregated joint trading accounts
for the Funds through which the Funds shall, from time to time, effect
Repurchase Agreement transactions.
Section 2.02. Receipt of Funds. The Custodian shall, from time to
time, receive funds for or on behalf of the Funds and shall hold such
funds in safekeeping. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the
Custodian shall credit funds so received to one or more Accounts
designated in such Proper Instructions. Promptly after receipt of
such funds from the Fund Custodian or a Repo Custodian or promptly
following the transfer to an Account from any account maintained by
Custodian in its capacity as Fund Custodian, or as Repo Custodian, the
Custodian shall provide written confirmation of such receipt to the
Fund Custodian or Repo Custodian, when and as applicable, and of such
receipt or transfer to the Fund Agent designated in Section 7.07(b)
hereof (the "Fund Agent"). The Custodian shall designate on its books
and records the funds allocable to each Account and the identity of
each Fund participating in such Account.
Section 2.03. Repurchase Transactions. The Funds may, from time to
time, enter into Repurchase Agreement transactions. In connection
with each such Repurchase Agreement transaction, unless otherwise
specifically directed by Special Instructions, the Custodian shall
take the following actions:
(a) Purchase of Securities. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the
Custodian shall pay for and receive Securities and any cash
denominated in U.S. Dollars which is serving as collateral ("Cash
Collateral"), provided that payment therefor shall be made by the
Custodian only against prior or simultaneous receipt of the Securities
and any Cash Collateral in the manner prescribed in subsection 2.03(b)
below. Except as provided in Section2.04 hereof, in no event shall
the Custodian deliver funds from an Account for the purchase of
Securities and any Cash Collateral prior to receipt of the Securities
and any Cash Collateral by the Custodian or a Securities System (as
hereinafter defined). The Custodian is not under any obligation to
make credit available to the Funds to complete transactions hereunder.
Promptly after the transfer of funds and receipt of Securities and any
Cash Collateral, the Custodian shall provide a confirmation to the
Fund Agent, setting forth (i) the Securities and any Cash Collateral
which the Custodian has received pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement
transaction, (ii) the amount of funds transferred from the applicable
Account, and (iii) any security or transaction identification numbers
reasonably requested by the Fund Agent.
(b) Receipt and Holding of Securities. In connection with each
Repurchase Agreement transaction, the Custodian shall receive and hold
the Securities as follows: (i) in the case of certificated securities,
by physical receipt of the certificates or other instruments
representing such Securities and by physical segregation of such
certificates or instruments from other assets of the Custodian in a
manner indicating that such Securities belong to specified Funds; and
(ii) in the case of Securities held in book-entry form by a Securities
System (as hereinafter defined), by appropriate transfer and
registration of such Securities to a customer only account of the
Custodian on the book-entry records of the Securities System, and by
appropriate entry on the books and records of the Custodian
identifying such Securities as belonging to specified Funds.
(c) Sale of Securities. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the
Custodian shall make delivery of Securities and any Cash Collateral
held in or credited to an Account against prior or simultaneous
payment for such Securities in immediately available funds in the form
of: (i) cash, bank credit, or bank wire transfer received by the
Custodian; or (ii) credit to the customer only account of the
Custodian with a Securities System. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Custodian shall make delivery of Securities held in physical form
in accordance with "street delivery custom" to a broker or its
clearing agent, against delivery to the Custodian of a receipt for
such Securities; provided that the Custodian shall have taken all
actions possible to ensure prompt collection of the payment for, or
the return of such Securities by the broker or its clearing agent.
Promptly after the transfer of Securities and any Cash Collateral and
the receipt of funds, the Custodian shall provide a confirmation to
the Fund Agent, setting forth the amount of funds received by the
Custodian or a Securities System for credit to the applicable Account.
(d) Additional Functions. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, the
Custodian shall take all such other actions as specified in such
Proper Instructions and as shall be reasonable or necessary with
respect to Repurchase Agreement transactions and the Securities and
funds transferred and received pursuant to such transactions,
including, without limitation, all such actions as shall be prescribed
in the event of a default under a Repurchase Agreement.
(e) Nondiscretionary Functions. The Custodian shall attend to all
non-discretionary details in connection with the purchase, sale,
transfer or other dealings with Securities or other assets of the
Funds held by the Custodian.
(f) In the event that the Custodian is directed by Proper
Instructions to make any payment or transfer of funds on behalf of a
Fund for which there would be, at the close of business on the date of
such payment or transfer, insufficient funds held by the Custodian on
behalf of such Fund, the Custodian may, in its discretion, provide an
overdraft ("Overdraft") to the Fund, in an amount sufficient to allow
the completion of such payment or transfer. Any Overdraft provided
hereunder: (a) shall be payable on the next Business Day, unless
otherwise agreed by the Fund and the Custodian; and (b) shall accrue
interest form the date of the Overdraft to the date of payment in full
by the Fund at a rate agreed upon in writing, from time to time, by
the Custodian and the Fund. The Custodian and the Funds acknowledge
that the purpose of such Overdrafts is to temporarily finance the
purchase or sale of securities for prompt delivery in accordance with
the terms hereof, or to meet emergency expenses not reasonably
foreseeable by a particular Fund. The Funds hereby agree that the
Custodian shall have a continuing lien and security interest in and to
all Securities whose purchase is financed by Custodian and which are
in Custodian's possession or in the possession or control of any third
party acting on Custodian's behalf and the proceeds thereof. In this
regard, Custodian shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies of
a pledgee under common law and a secured party under the New York
Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable laws or regulations
as then in effect.
Section 2.04. Other Transfers.
(a) In addition to transfers of funds and Securities referred to in
Section 2.03, the Custodian shall transfer funds and Securities held
in an Account: (a) upon receipt of Proper Instructions, to (i)any
Fund Custodian, or (ii)any other account maintained for any Fund by
the Custodian in its capacity as a Fund Custodian, (iii)any Repo
Custodian or (iv) any other account maintained for any Fund by the
Custodian in its capacity as a Repo Custodian; or (b) upon receipt of
Special Instructions, and subject to Section 3.04 hereof, to any other
person or entity designated in such Special Instructions.
(b) Determination of Fund Custodian Daily Net Amount. On each
banking day, based upon daily transaction information provided to the
Custodian by the Funds, Custodian shall determine: (i) the amount of
cash due to be transferred on such day by each Fund Custodian to the
Custodian in connection with all Repurchase Agreement transactions in
which the date fixed for the repurchase and resale of Securities is
the banking day next following the date on which the sale and purchase
of such Securities takes place (each, an "Overnight Repo Transaction")
to be effected through the Accounts in such day; and (ii) the amount
of cash due to be transferred on such day by Custodian to such Fund
Custodian in connection with all outstanding Overnight Repo
Transactions previously effected through the Accounts (the difference
between (i) and (ii) with respect to each Fund Custodian being
referred to as the "Fund Custodian Daily Net Amount"). On each
banking day, Custodian shall notify each Fund Custodian of the
foregoing determination and, unless otherwise directed in accordance
with Proper Instructions, Custodian shall (i) instruct such Fund
Custodian to transfer cash to the Custodian equal to the Fund
Custodian Daily Net Amount (if the Fund Custodian Daily Net Amount is
positive) or (ii) transfer to such Fund Custodian cash equal to the
Fund Custodian Daily Net Amount (if the Fund Custodian Daily Net
Amount is negative).
(c) Determination of Repo Custodian Daily Net Amount. On each
banking day, based upon daily transaction information provided to the
Custodian by the Funds and each Repo Custodian, Custodian shall
determine: (i) the amount of cash due to be transferred on such day
by each Repo Custodian on behalf of the Funds to all counterparties in
connection with all third-party Overnight Repo Transactions to be
effected through the Accounts on such day; and (ii) the amount of cash
due to be transferred on such day by each Repo Custodian on behalf of
all counterparties to the Funds in connection with all outstanding
third-party Overnight Repo Transactions previously effected through
the Accounts (the difference between (i) and (ii) with respect to each
Repo Custodian being referred to as the "Repo Custodian Daily Net
Amount"). On each banking day, Custodian shall notify the Funds of
the foregoing determinations and, unless otherwise directed in
accordance with Proper Instructions, Custodian shall (i) transfer to
each Repo Custodian cash equal to the Repo Custodian Daily Net Amount
(if the Repo Custodian Daily Net Amount is positive) or (ii) instruct
each Repo Custodian to transfer to the Custodian cash equal to the
Repo Custodian Daily Net Amount (if the Repo Custodian Daily Net
Amount is negative).
Section 2.05. Custodian's Books and Records. The Custodian shall
provide any assistance reasonably requested by the Funds in the
preparation of reports to shareholders of the Funds and others, audits
of accounts, and other ministerial matters of like nature. The
Custodian shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to
cash and Securities held for the benefit of the Funds as required by
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
applicable to investment companies registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"),

aggregate amount of the Securities and any Cash Collateral held by the
Custodian on behalf of the Funds in such Account pursuant to this
Agreement. All such books and records maintained by the Custodian
shall be maintained in a form acceptable to the Funds and in
compliance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, books and records
required to be maintained by Section 31(a) of the Investment Company
Act and the rules from time to time adopted thereunder. All books and
records maintained by the Custodian relating to the Accounts shall at
all times be the property of the Funds and shall be available during
normal business hours for inspection and use by the Funds and their
agents, including, without limitation, their independent certified
public accountants. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Funds
shall not take any actions or cause Custodian to take any actions
which would cause, either directly or indirectly, the Custodian to
violate any applicable laws, regulations, rules or orders.
Section 2.06. Reports by Independent Certified Public Accountants.
At the request of the Funds, the Custodian shall deliver to the Funds
such annual reports and other interim reports prepared by the
independent certified public accountants of the Custodian with respect
to the services provided by the Custodian under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the Custodian's accounting system,
internal accounting control and procedures for safeguarding
Securities, including Securities deposited and/or maintained in a
Securities System. Such reports, which shall be of sufficient scope
and in sufficient detail as may reasonably be required by the Funds
and as may reasonably by obtained by the Custodian, shall provide
reasonable assurance to the Funds that the procedures employed by the
independent certified public accountants are reasonably designed to

Securities System's accounting system, internal accounting control and

instruction or certification signed or initialed by one or more
Authorized Persons (as hereinafter defined); (ii) a telephonic or
other oral communication by one or more Authorized Persons; or (iii) a
communication effected directly between electromechanical or
electronic devices or systems (including, without limitation,
computers) by one or more Authorized Persons; provided, however, that
communications of the types described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above
purporting to be given by an Authorized Person shall be considered
Proper Instructions only if the Custodian reasonably believes such
communications to have been given by an Authorized Person with respect
to the transaction involved. Proper Instructions in the form of oral
communications shall be confirmed by the Funds by tested telex or in
writing in the manner set forth in clause(i) above, but the lack of
such confirmation shall in no way affect any action taken by the
Custodian in reliance upon such oral instructions prior to the
Custodian's receipt of such confirmation. Each of the Funds and the
Custodian is hereby authorized to record any and all telephonic or
other oral instructions communicated to the Custodian. Proper
Instructions may relate to specific transactions or to types or
classes of transactions, and may be in the form of standing
instructions.
(b) Special Instructions. As used herein, the term "Special
Instructions" shall mean Proper Instructions countersigned or
confirmed in writing by, in the case of the entities listed in
Schedules A-1 or A-2 hereto, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer
of the Funds or any other person designated in writing by the
Treasurer of the Funds, and in the case of each of the entities listed
on Schedules A-3 or A-4, by the officer who is a signatory to this
Agreement on behalf of such entity or any other person designated in
writing by such officer or an officer of such entity of higher
authority, which countersignature or written confirmation shall be (i)
included on the same instrument containing the Proper Instructions or
on a separate instrument relating thereto, and (ii) delivered by hand,
by facsimile transmission, or in such other manner as the parties
hereto may agree in writing.
(c) Address for Proper Instructions and Special Instructions. Proper
Instructions and Special Instructions shall be delivered to the
Custodian at the address and/or telephone, telecopy or telex number
agreed upon from time to time by the Custodian and the Funds.
Section 3.02. Authorized Persons. Concurrently with the execution of
this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, as appropriate, the
Funds shall deliver to the Custodian, duly certified as appropriate by
the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Funds or by a
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Funds, and in the case of each
of the entities listed on Schedules A-3 or A-4, by the officer who is
a signatory to this Agreement on behalf of such entity or any other
person designated in writing by such officer or an officer of higher
authority, a certificate setting forth (a) the names, signatures and
scope of authority of all persons authorized to give Proper
Instructions or any other notice, request, direction, instruction,
certificate or instrument on behalf of the Funds (collectively, the
"Authorized Persons," and individually, an "Authorized Person"), and
(b) the names and signatures of those persons authorized to issue
Special Instructions. Such certificate may be accepted and relied
upon by the Custodian as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth
therein and shall be considered to be in full force and effect until
delivery to the Custodian of a similar certificate to the contrary.
Upon delivery of a certificate which deletes the name of a person
previously authorized to give Proper Instructions or to issue Special
Instructions, such person shall no longer be considered an Authorized
Person or authorized to issue Special Instructions, as applicable.
Section 3.03. Investment Limitations. In performing its duties
hereunder the Custodian may assume, unless and until it receives
special Instructions to the contrary (a "Contrary Notice"), that
Proper Instructions received by it are not in conflict with or in any
way contrary to any investment or other limitation applicable to any
of the Funds. The Custodian shall in no event be liable to the Funds
and shall be indemnified by the Funds for any loss, damage or expense
to the Custodian arising out of any violation of any investment or
other limitation to which any Fund is subject, except to the extent
that such loss, damage or expense: (i) relates to a violation of any
investment or other limitation of a Fund occurring after receipt by
the Custodian of a Contrary Notice; or (ii) arises from a breach of
this Agreement by the Custodian.
Section 3.04. Persons Having Access to Assets of the Funds. No
Authorized Person, Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Funds
(other than the Custodian) shall have physical access to the assets of
the Funds held by the Custodian, or shall be authorized or permitted
to withdraw any such assets for delivery to an account of such person,
nor shall the Custodian deliver any such assets to any such person;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.04 shall prohibit:
(a) any Authorized Person from giving Proper Instructions, or the
persons described in Section 3.01(b) from issuing Special
Instructions, so long as such action does not result in delivery of or
access to assets of the Funds prohibited by this Section 3.04; or (b)
the Funds' independent certified public accountants from examining or
reviewing the assets of the Funds held by the Custodian.
Section 3.05. Actions of Custodian Based on Proper Instructions and
Special Instructions. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.01
hereof, the Custodian shall not be responsible for the title, validity
or genuineness of any property, or evidence of title thereof, received
by it or delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV - STANDARD OF CARE; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 4.01. Standard of Care.
(a) General Standard of Care. The Custodian shall exercise
reasonable care and diligence in carrying out all of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement, and shall be liable to the Funds for
all loss, damage and expense incurred or suffered by the Funds,
resulting from the failure of the Custodian to exercise such
reasonable care and diligence or from any other breach by the
Custodian of the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Acts of God, Etc. In no event shall the Custodian incur
liability hereunder if the Custodian is prevented, forbidden or
delayed from performing, or omits to perform, any act or thing which
this Agreement provides shall be performed or omitted to be performed
by reason of: (i) any provision of any present or future law or
regulation or order of the United States of America, or any state
thereof, or of any foreign country, or political subdivision thereof
or of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (ii) any act of God or
war; unless, in each case, such delay or nonperformance is caused by
(A) the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian, or (B)
a malfunction or failure of equipment maintained or operated by the
Custodian other than a malfunction or failure caused by events beyond
the Custodian's control and which could not reasonably be anticipated
and/or prevented by the Custodian.
(c) Mitigation by Custodian. Upon the occurrence of any event which
causes or may cause any loss, damage or expense to the Funds, the
Custodian shall use all commercially reasonable efforts and shall take
all reasonable steps under the circumstances to mitigate the effects
of such event and to avoid continuing harm to the Funds.
Section 4.02. Liability of Custodian for Actions of Securities
Systems. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section4.01 to the
contrary, the Custodian shall not be liable to the Funds for any loss,
damage or expense resulting from the use by the Custodian of a
Securities System, unless such loss, damage or expense is caused by,
or results from, negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the
Custodian. In the case of loss, damage or expense resulting from use
of a Securities System by the Custodian, the Custodian shall take all
reasonable steps to enforce such rights as it may have against the
Securities System to protect the interest of the Funds.
Section 4.03. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the limitations set
forth in this Agreement, the Funds severally agree to indemnify and
hold harmless the Custodian from all claims and liabilities (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred or assessed against the Custodian
for actions taken in reliance upon Proper Instructions or Special
Instructions; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not apply
to claims and liabilities occasioned by or resulting from the
negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian, or any other
breach of this Agreement by the Custodian. In addition, the Funds
severally agree to indemnify the Custodian against any liability
incurred by the Custodian by reason of taxes assessed to the
Custodian, or other costs, liability or expenses incurred by the
Custodian, resulting directly or indirectly solely from the fact that
securities and other property of the Funds is registered in the name
of the Custodian; provided, however, in no event shall such
indemnification be applicable to income, franchise or similar taxes
which may be imposed or applied against the Custodian or charges
imposed by a Federal Reserve Bank with respect to intra-day overdrafts
unless separately agreed to by the Funds.
(b) Extent of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, with respect to the indemnification obligations of
the Funds provided in this Section4.03, each Fund shall be: (i)
severally, and not jointly and severally, liable with each of the
other Funds; and (ii) liable only for its pro rata share of such
liabilities, determined with reference to such Fund's proportionate
interest in the aggregate of assets held by the Custodian in the
Account with respect to which such liability relates at the time such
liability was incurred, as reflected on the books and records of the
Funds.
(c) Notice of Litigation, Right to Prosecute, Etc. The Custodian
shall promptly notify the Funds in writing of the commencement of any
litigation or proceeding brought against the Custodian in respect of
which indemnity may be sought against the Funds pursuant to this
Section4.03. The Funds shall be entitled to participate in any such
litigation or proceeding and, after written notice from the Funds to
the Custodian, the Funds may assume the defense of such litigation or
proceeding with counsel of their choice at their own expense. The
Custodian shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement in any such litigation or proceeding without providing
the Funds with adequate notice of any such settlement or judgment, and
without the Funds' prior written consent. The Custodian shall submit

which it seeks indemnification in such form and detail as the Funds
may reasonably request.

the contrary contained herein, the Funds shall have, at their election

loss, damage or expense caused the Custodian or the Funds by such
Securities System or other person, and shall be entitled to enforce
the rights of the Custodian with respect to.any claim against such
Securities System or other person which the Custodian may have as a

that the Custodian or any Fund has not been made whole for any such
loss, damage or expense.
ARTICLE V - COMPENSATION
Section 5.01. Compensation. The Custodian shall be compensated for
its services hereunder in an amount, and at such times, as may be
agreed upon, from time to time, by the Custodian and the Funds. Each
Fund shall be severally, and not jointly, liable with the other Funds
only for its pro rata share of such compensation, determined with
reference to such Fund's proportionate interest in each Repurchase
Agreement transaction to which such compensation relates.
Section 5.02. Waiver of Right of Set-Off. The Custodian hereby
waives and relinquishes all contractual and common law rights of

ARTICLE VI - TERMINATION
Section 6.01. Events of Termination. This Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect until the first to occur of: (a) termination
by the Custodian or the Funds by an instrument in writing delivered to
the other party, such termination to take effect not sooner than
ninety (90) days after the date of such delivery; or (b) termination
by the Funds by written notice delivered to the Custodian, based upon
the Funds' determination that there is a reasonable basis to conclude
that the Custodian is insolvent or that the financial condition of the
Custodian is deteriorating in any material respect, in which case
termination shall take effect upon the Custodians receipt of such
notice or at such later time as the Funds shall designate; provided,
however, that this Agreement may be terminated as to one or more Funds
(but less than all Funds) by delivery of an amended Schedule X-0, X-0,
X-0 or A-4 pursuant to Section7.03 hereof. The execution and delivery
of an amended Schedule X-0, X-0, X-0 or A-4 which deletes one or more
Funds shall constitute a termination of this Agreement only with
respect to such deleted Fund(s).

the Funds may identify a successor custodian to which the cash,
Securities and other assets of such Fund shall, upon termination of
this Agreement, be delivered; provided that in the case of the
termination of this Agreement with respect to any of the Funds, such
Fund or Funds shall direct the Custodian to transfer the assets of
such Fund or Funds held by the Custodian pursuant to Proper
Instructions. The Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Funds in the
execution of documents and performance or all other actions necessary
or desirable in order to substitute the successor custodian for the
Custodian under this Agreement. In the event of termination, each
Fund shall make payment of such Fund's applicable share of unpaid
compensation within a reasonable time following termination and
delivery of a statement to the Funds setting forth such fees. The
termination of this Agreement with respect to any of the Funds shall
be governed by the provisions of this ArticleVI as to notice, payments
and delivery of securities and other assets, and shall not affect the
obligations of the parties hereunder with respect to the other Funds
set forth in Schedule X-0, X-0, X-0 or A-4 as amended from time to
time.

certain Joint Trading Account Custody Agreement between The Bank of
New York and Fidelity Funds, dated as of ___________ (the
"Agreement"), pursuant to which the Funds have appointed the Custodian
as its custodian for the purpose of establishing and administering one
or more joint trading accounts or subaccounts thereof (individually,
an "Account" and collectively, the "Accounts") and holding cash and
securities for the Funds in connection with repurchase transactions
effected through the Accounts; and
WHEREAS, Seller and the Funds desire to amend the Agreement as set
forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises
and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows.
Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires,
terms used in this Amendment, including the preamble and recitals,
have the meanings provided in the Agreement.
The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Paragraph2.03(f) in its
entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:
"(f) Overdraft. In the event that the Custodian is directed by
Proper Instructions to make any payment or transfer of funds on behalf
of a Fund for which there would be, at the close of business on the
date of such payment or transfer, insufficient funds held by the
Custodian on behalf of such Fund, the Custodian may, in its
discretion, provide an overdraft ("Overdraft") to the Fund (such Fund
being referred to herein as an "Overdraft Fund"), in an amount
sufficient to allow the completion of such payment or transfer. Any
Overdraft provided hereunder: (a) shall be payable on the next
Business Day, unless otherwise agreed by the Overdraft Fund and the
Custodian; and (b) shall accrue interest from the date of the
Overdraft to the date of payment in full by the Overdraft Fund at a
rate agreed upon in writing, from time to time, by the Custodian and
the Overdraft Fund. The Custodian and the Funds acknowledge that the
purpose of such Overdrafts is to temporarily finance the purchase or
sale of securities for prompt delivery in accordance with the terms
hereof. The Custodian hereby agrees to notify each Overdraft Fund by
3:00 p.m., New York time, of the amount of any Overdraft. Provided
that Custodian has given the notice required by this subparagraph (f),
the Funds hereby agree that, as security for the Overdraft of an
Overdraft Fund, the Custodian shall have a continuing lien and
security interest in and to all interest of such Overdraft Fund in
Securities whose purchase is financed by Custodian and which are in
Custodian's possession or in the possession or control of any third
party acting on Custodian's behalf and the proceeds thereof. In this
regard, Custodian shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies of
a pledgee under common law and a secured party under the New York
Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable laws or regulations
as then in effect."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Amendment to be
executed and delivered under seal by their duly authorized officers.
