Ladies and Gentlemen:
GMO Trust hereby notifies you that it has established two additional series of shares, namely,
GMO Asset Allocation International Small Companies Fund and GMO International Large/Mid Cap Value
Fund (each a “New Fund” and collectively, the “New Funds”). The Trust (as defined in each of the
Custodian Agreement, the Delegation Schedule, and the Accounting Agency Agreement) desires that you
serve as (i) custodian of the assets of each New Fund under the terms of the Custodian Agreement,
(ii) delegate with respect to the assets of each New Fund under the terms of the Delegation
Schedule, and (iii) accounting agent of the assets of each New Fund under the terms of the
Accounting Agency Agreement.
If you agree to so serve as custodian, delegate, and accounting agent for each New Fund,
kindly sign and return to the Trust the enclosed counterpart hereof, whereupon each New Fund shall
be deemed a “Fund” under each of the Custodian Agreement, the Delegation Schedule, and the
Accounting Agency Agreement. This letter agreement shall constitute an amendment to each of the
Custodian Agreement, the Delegation Schedule, and the Accounting Agency Agreement and, as such, a
binding agreement among the Trust and you in accordance with each of their terms.
Notice
A copy of the Declaration of Trust, together with all amendments thereto, is on file with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and notice is hereby given that this instrument is
executed on behalf of the Trust by an officer of the Trust as an officer and not individually and
that the obligations of this instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees or officers of the
Trust or shareholders of any series of the Trust individually but are binding only upon the assets
and property of the Trust or the respective series.
