AMENDMENT TO ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT made as of this 1st day of July, 2010, by and between TCW STRATEGIC INCOME FUND, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of Maryland (the “Fund”), and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), a Massachusetts trust company. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Agreement (defined below).
WHEREAS, the Fund and Investors Bank & Trust Company (“IBT”) entered into an Administration Agreement dated as of June 29, 2007, as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time (the “Agreement”);
WHEREAS, IBT merged with and into State Street, effective July 2, 2007, with the result that State Street now serves as Administrator under the Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Fund has requested that State Street amend the Agreement and State Street has agreed to do so as an accommodation to the Fund notwithstanding that as amended, the Agreement is not identical to the form of administration agreement customarily entered into by State Street as administrator, in order that the services to be provided to the Fund by State Street, as successor by merger to IBT, may be made consistently and predictably to the Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Fund and State Street desire to amend the Agreement as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
