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.
This will confirm that the names of the following Portfolios have been
changed: Core Growth Fund has been changed to Mid Cap Fund; Emerging Growth Fund
has been changed to Small Cap Growth Fund; Income & Growth Fund has been changed
to Convertible Fund; and Fully Discretionary Fixed Income Fund has been changed
to High Quality Bond Fund. This will further confirm that the Global Technology
Fund has been added as a Portfolio 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
