Attn: Vice President, Custody
Dear Sir or Madam:
On behalf of Lord Xxxxxx Global Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), as a party to the Custodian and Investment Accounting Agreement between various Lord Xxxxxx-sponsored mutual funds and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) dated November 1, 2001 (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 is to notify State Street that on February 4, 2013 the Company’s officers executed an Articles Supplementary to the Articles of Incorporation establishing a new Series of the Company (the “Portfolio”). It is the Company’s desire to have State Street render services as custodian and recordkeeper to the Portfolio under the terms of the Agreement; therefore, the Company 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 shows the entity names and series of each Portfolio that participates in the Agreement as of the close of business on May 1, 2013.
It is currently anticipated that the registration statement for the Portfolio will become effective on May 1, 2013. Accordingly, we appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please indicate State Street’s acceptance by signing below.
