Dear Sir or Madam:

LLC (“Lord Xxxxxx”), as a party to the Custodian and Investment Accounting Agreement between various Lord Xxxxxx-sponsored investment companies and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) dated November 1, 2001, as amended (the “Agreement”), requests an amendment to the Agreement pursuant to Section 17.

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 23, 2020, the Board of Trustees of Xxxx Xxxxxx Trust I (the “Trust”) executed an Amendment to the Declaration and Agreement of Trust to add Lord Xxxxxx Mid Cap Innovation Growth Fund, a series of the Trust, (the “Portfolio”). It is the Trust’s desire to have State Street render services as custodian and recordkeeper to the Portfolio under the terms of the Agreement; therefore, the Trust requests that State Street agree, in writing, to provide such services to the Portfolio, thereby making the Portfolio a Portfolio under the terms of the Agreement.

Attached is an Amended Exhibit A to the Agreement that includes the names of each Portfolio that participates in the Agreement.

We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please indicate State Street’s acceptance by signing below.

On Behalf of:
