RE: MASTER CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT
Gentlemen and Mesdames:
For good and valuable consideration, the undersigned investment companies
hereby agree to amend our Master Custodian Agreement by adding the following
paragraph:
ADVANCES BY THE BANK. The Bank may, in its sole discretion, advance
funds on behalf of the Fund to make any payment permitted by this
Agreement upon receipt of any proper authorization required by this
Agreement for such payments by the Fund. Should such a payment or
payments, with advanced funds, result in an overdraft (due to
insufficiencies of the Fund's account with the Bank, or for any other
reason) this Agreement deems any such overdraft or related indebtedness
a loan made by the Bank to the Fund payable on demand. Such overdraft
shall bear interest at the current rate charged by the Bank for such
secured loans unless the Fund shall provide the Bank with agreed upon
compensating balances. The Fund agrees that the Bank shall have a
continuing lien and security interest to the extent of any overdraft or
indebtedness or the extent required by law, whichever is greater, in
and to any property at any time held by it for the Fund's benefit or in
which the Fund has an interest and which is then in the Bank's
possession or control (or in the possession or control of any third
party acting on the Bank's behalf). The Fund authorizes the Bank, in
the Bank's sole discretion, at any time to charge any overdraft or
indebtedness, together with interest due thereon, against any balance
of account standing to the credit of the Fund on the Bank's books.
This letter agreement is intended to include all other funds that become a party
to the Master Custodian Agreement unless we notify you otherwise at the
commencement of operations of a fund.
Sincerely,
/s/ Xxxxx X. X'Xxxxxx
