Re: Amendment to Agency Agreement
Dear Xx. Xxxxx:
We refer to the Agency Agreement by and among DST Systems, Inc. (“DST”) and the Lord Xxxxxx Family of Funds (the “Funds”), dated January 1, 2017 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to Section 24(D) of the Agreement, DST and the Funds agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
| 1. | Section 6(h) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Section 6(h): |
DST shall provide certain of the services outlined in Schedule B (the “Print Services”) through contract with Broadridge Customer Communications, LLC, or its subsidiaries (collectively, “Broadridge”). The Print Services will be provided at fees and charges consistent with past practices. DST’s obligation to provide the Print Services is limited to a period of fifteen (15) months from the date hereof, after which the Funds will be responsible for obtaining the Print Services directly from Broadridge or another print vendor. DST will use reasonable efforts to assist the Funds in arranging for the provision of such services directly to the Funds following such period, whether by Broadridge or another party.
| 2. | All other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In the event of any inconsistencies between the Agreement and this letter amendment (the “Amendment”), the terms of the Amendment shall govern and control. |
Please have an authorized signatory of your firm sign below to confirm your agreement with the Amendment and return the signed letter to us in the enclosed (prepaid) FedEx envelope (retaining a copy for your records). Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
/s/ Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx
