Re: Custodian Services Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Custodian Services Agreement,
dated as of January 1, 2007 (as amended to date, the
"Agreement"), by and among State Street Bank and Trust
Company, a Massachusetts trust company, and each management
investment company identified as an "Existing Fund" on
Schedule I hereto (each, a "Fund" and, collectively, the
"Funds") on behalf of each of its series, if any,
identified as "Existing Portfolio" on Schedule I hereto
(each, a "Portfolio" and, collectively, the "Portfolios")
and certain other affiliated management investment
companies.
In connection with a restructuring of the complex of
which the Funds are a part, as of the close of business on
April 13, 2007 or April 27, 2007, as indicated on Schedule
I hereto (each, a "Closing Date"), many of the Funds and
Portfolios will be reorganized as set forth on Schedule I
hereto. Additionally, as indicated on Schedule I, several
Funds and Portfolios have recently ceased or shall cease
operations following fund combinations (or otherwise) on
the date indicated on Schedule I hereto (each, a
"Termination Date").
On each applicable Closing Date, (i) each management
company identified as a "Successor Fund" shall become a
"Fund" party to the Agreement on behalf of each of its
series identified on Schedule I as a "Successor Portfolio"
and shall assume all of the rights and obligations under
the Agreement of the corresponding Existing Fund with
respect to each applicable Existing Portfolio (or, if such
Existing Fund has no Existing Portfolios, with respect to
the Existing Fund itself), (ii) each such Successor
Portfolio shall be deemed a "Portfolio" within the meaning
of the Agreement, and (iii) the corresponding Existing
Portfolio shall cease be deemed to be a "Portfolio" under
the Agreement. As of each applicable Termination Date,
each Existing Portfolio indicated on Schedule I hereto as
terminating operations shall cease to be deemed a
"Portfolio" under the Agreement.
As of the date on which an Existing Fund has no
further rights or obligations under the Agreement, by
virtue of (i) all of the rights and obligations of its
Existing Portfolios (or, if such Existing Fund has no
Existing Portfolios, the Existing Fund itself) having been
assumed by one or more Successor Funds and/or (ii) its
Existing Portfolios (or, if such Existing Fund has no
Existing Portfolios, the Existing Fund itself) having
ceased operations in connection with a fund combination,
such Existing Fund shall cease to be a party to the
Agreement and shall have no rights or obligations
thereunder.
Additionally, attached as Exhibit A hereto is a
replacement of "Exhibit A" to the Agreement, effective as
of the close of business on April 27, 2007.
Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, this
letter shall not be deemed to otherwise amend or modify any
term of the Agreement.

agreement to the above.
