AMENDMENT TO CUSTODY AGREEMENT
Amendment made as of this 17th day of April, 1996 by and between Xxxx
Xxxxxx California Tax-Free Daily Income Trust (the "Fund") and The Bank of New
York (the "Custodian") to the Custody Agreement between the Fund and the
Custodian dated September 20, 1991 (the "Custody Agreement"). The Custody
Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
Article XV Section 8 of the Custody Agreement shall be deleted and be
replaced by Sections 8.(a), 8.(b) and 8.(c) as set forth below:
"8. (a) The Custodian will use reasonable care with respect to its
obligations under this Agreement and the safekeeping of Securities and moneys
owned by the Fund. The Custodian shall indemnify the Fund against and save the
Fund harmless from all liability, claims, losses and demands whatsoever,
including attorneys' fees, howsoever arising or incurred as the result of the
failure of a subcustodian which is a banking institution located in a foreign
country and identified on Schedule A attached hereto (each, a "Subcustodian") to
exercise reasonable care with respect to the safekeeping of such Securities and
moneys to the same extent that the Custodian would be liable to the Fund if the
Custodian were holding such securities and moneys in New York. In the event of
any loss to the Fund by reason of the failure of the Custodian or a Subcustodian
to utilize reasonable care, the Custodian shall be liable to the Fund only to
the extent of the Fund's direct damages, to be determined based on the market
value of the Securities and moneys which are the subject of the loss at the date
of discovery of such loss and without reference to any special conditions or
circumstances.
8. (b) The Custodian shall not be liable for any loss which results from
(i) the general risk of investing, or (ii) investing or holding Securities and
moneys in a particular country including, but not limited to, losses resulting
from nationalization, expropriation or other governmental actions; regulation of
the banking or securities industry; currency restrictions, devaluations or
fluctuations; or market conditions which prevent the orderly execution of
securities transactions or affect the value of Securities or moneys.
8. (c) Neither party shall be liable to the other for any loss due to
forces beyond its control including, but not limited to, strikes or work
stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear fusion,
fission or radiation, or acts of God."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be
executed by their respective Officers, thereunto duly authorized and their
respective seals to be hereunto affixed, as of the day and year first above
written.
