Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Custodian Services Agreement between us dated as
of April 1, 1993 (the "Agreement").
This is to inform you that we have completed our reorganization from a
"master-feeder" structure to a "multi-class" structure. As a result of this
reorganization, each of our various Institutional Portfolio series has been
renamed to replace the phrase "Institutional Portfolio" with the phrase "Fund,"
and the former shareholders of each Institutional Portfolio now hold Class I
shares of the Fund. The Funds will continue as Portfolios under the Agreement.
In addition, the A, B, C and Qualified Portfolio series which previously
corresponded to each Institutional Portfolio series have been dissolved, and the
shareholders of such Portfolios now hold Class A, B, C and Q shares of the
corresponding Fund. Accordingly, the previous A, B, C and Qualified Portfolio
series are hereby deleted as Portfolios under the Agreement.
Please indicate your acceptance of this amendment by signing the letter
below and returning a copy to us. Thank you for your assistance regarding this
matter.
Sincerely,
E. Xxxxx Xxxxx, Jr.
Secretary
