Exhibit (g)(2)
AMENDMENT TO CUSTODY CONTRACT
Amendment dated March 31, 1999, by and between State Street Bank and
Trust Company (the "Bank") and the Xxxxxx Funds listed on Attachment I hereto
(each a "Fund") to the custody contract (the "Custody Contract") between the
Bank and each Fund.
WHEREAS the Bank serves as the custodian of the Fund's assets pursuant
to the Custody Contract;
WHEREAS the Fund may appoint one or more banks identified on Schedule A
to this Amendment, as amended from time to time, to serve as additional
custodians for the Fund (each, a "Repo Custodian") for the limited purpose of
the Fund's engaging in tri-party repurchase agreement transactions ("Tri-Party
Repos");
WHEREAS the Fund may direct the Bank to make "free delivery" to one or
more Repo Custodians of cash or other assets maintained in custody by the Bank
for the Fund pursuant to the Custody Contract for purposes of engaging in
Tri-Party Repos; and
WHEREAS the Bank and the Fund desire to amend the Custody Contract to
permit the Bank to make "free delivery" of cash and other assets of the Fund to
Repo Custodians from time to time;
NOW THEREFORE, the Bank and the Fund hereby agree to amend the Custody
Contract by adding the following provisions thereto:
1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Custody Contract,
upon receipt of Proper Instructions (as defined in the Custody Contract), the
Bank shall deliver cash and/or other assets of the Fund to any account
identified on Schedule A to the Custody Contract, as amended from time to time,
maintained for the Fund by a Repo Custodian, which delivery may be made without
contemporaneous receipt by the Bank of cash or other assets in exchange
therefor. Upon such delivery of cash or other assets in accordance with such
Proper Instructions, the Bank shall have no further responsibility or obligation
to the Fund as a custodian of the Fund with respect to the cash or assets so
delivered.
2. The Fund may amend Schedule A from time to time to add or delete a
Repo Custodian or change the identification of the account maintained by a Repo
Custodian for the Fund by delivering Special Instructions (as defined herein) to
the Bank. The term Special Instructions shall mean written instructions executed
by at least two officers of the Fund holding the office of Vice President or
higher. In all other respects, the Custody Contract shall remain in full force
and effect and the Bank and the Fund shall perform their respective obligations
in accordance with the terms thereof.
EXECUTED to be effective as of the date set forth above.
