Dear Xx. Xxxxxxx
As you are aware, we are completing the acquisition process that began in
1995 when State Street purchased Investors Fiduciary Trust Company. The State
Street/IFTC combination has been truly beneficial, particularly in the areas of
product offerings, technology and customer service. In order to support
continued growth and to meet the changing needs of our clients, we will be
assigning all IFTC custody and fund accounting contracts to State Street Bank
and Trust Company as soon as possible.
We request your agreement to such assignment and to the assumption of all
rights, duties and obligations of the above-referenced contracts by State Street
Bank and Trust Company, effective January 1, 2000. In all respects other than
the assignment to State Street, the terms and conditions of the above-referenced
agreements will remain unchanged.
Please indicate your company's consent to the assignment and assumption by
signing the enclosed copy of this letter and returning it to me in the enclosed
pre-addressed envelope. Thank you for your prompt response, and please do not
hesitate to call me at (000) 000-0000 if I can provide any further information
or be of assistance in any way.
Sincerely,
/s/ XXXXX X. XXXXXXX
