AMENDMENT TO CUSTODIAN CONTRACT/AGREEMENT
This Amendment to the respective Custodian Contract/Agreement is made as of
February 22, 1999 by and between each of the funds listed on Schedule D
(including any series thereof, each, a "Fund") and State Street Bank and
Trust Company (the "Custodian"). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment
without definition shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in
the Custodian Contract/Agreement referred to below.
WHEREAS, each Fund and the Custodian have entered into a Custodian
Contract/Agreement dated as of the dates set forth on Schedule D (each
contract, as amended, a "Contract"); and
WHEREAS, each Fund and the Custodian desire to amend certain provisions of
the Contract to reflect revisions to Rule l7f-5 ("Rule 17f-5") promulgated
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"); and
WHEREAS, each Fund and the Custodian desire to amend and restate certain
other provisions of the Contract relating to the custody of assets of each of
the Funds held outside of the United States.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereby agree to amend the
Contract, to add the following new provisions which supersede the provisions
in the existing contracts relating to the custody of assets of the Funds
outside the United States.
3. THE CUSTODIAN AS FOREIGN CUSTODY MANAGER.
3.1. DEFINITIONS.
Capitalized terms in this Article 3 shall have the following meanings:
"Country Risk" means all factors reasonably related to the systemic risk of
holding Foreign Assets in a particular country including, but not limited to,
such country's political environment; economic and financial infrastructure;
systemic custody and securities settlement practices; and laws and
regulations applicable to the safekeeping and recovery of Foreign Assets held
in custody in that country.
"Eligible Foreign Custodian" has the meaning set forth in section (a)(1) of
Rule 17f-5, including a majority-owned or indirect subsidiary of a U.S. Bank
(as defined in Rule 17f-5), a bank holding company meeting the requirements
of an Eligible Foreign Custodian (as set forth in Rule 17f-5 or by other
appropriate action of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
or a foreign branch of a Bank (as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act)
meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act,
except that the term does not include Mandatory Securities Depositories.
"Foreign Assets" means any of the Funds' investments (including foreign
currencies) for which the primary market is outside the United States and
such cash and cash equivalents as are reasonably necessary to effect the
Funds' transactions in such investments.
<PAGE>
"Foreign Custody Manager" has the meaning set forth in section (a)(2) of Rule
17f-5.
"Mandatory Securities Depository" means a foreign securities depository or
clearing agency that, either as a legal or practical matter, must be used if
the Fund determines to place Foreign Assets in a country outside the United
States (i) because required by law or regulation; (ii) because securities
cannot be withdrawn from such foreign securities depository or clearing
agency; or (iii) because maintaining or effecting trades in securities
outside the foreign securities depository or clearing agency is not
consistent with systemic custodial or market practices.
3.2. DELEGATION TO THE CUSTODIAN AS FOREIGN CUSTODY MANAGER.
Each Fund, by resolution adopted by its Board of Trustees/Directors (the
"Board"), hereby delegates to the Custodian subject to Section (b) of Rule
17f-5, the responsibilities set forth in this Article 3 with respect to
Foreign Assets of the Fund held outside the United States, and the Custodian
hereby accepts such delegation, as Foreign Custody Manager with respect to
the Funds.
3.3. COUNTRIES COVERED.
The Foreign Custody Manager shall be responsible for performing the delegated
responsibilities defined below only with respect to the countries and custody
arrangements for each such country listed on Schedule A to this Contract,
which list of countries may be amended from time to time by the Fund with the
agreement of the Foreign Custody Manager. The Foreign Custody Manager shall
list on Schedule A the Eligible Foreign Custodians selected by the Foreign
Custody Manager to MAINTAIN the assets of the Funds which list of Eligible
Foreign Custodians may be amended from time to time in the sole discretion of
the Foreign Custody Manager. Mandatory Securities Depositories are listed on
Schedule B to this Contract, which Schedule B may be amended from time to
time by the Foreign Custody Manager upon reasonable notice to the Fund. The
Foreign Custody Manager will provide amended versions of Schedules A and B in
accordance with Section 3.7 of this Article 3.
Upon the receipt by the Foreign Custody Manager of Proper Instructions to
open an account or to place or maintain Foreign Assets in a country listed on
Schedule A, and the fulfillment by a Fund of the applicable account opening
requirements for such country, the Foreign Custody Manager shall be deemed to
have been delegated by that Fund's Board responsibility as Foreign Custody
Manager with respect to that country and to have accepted such delegation.
Execution of this Amendment by the Fund shall be deemed to be a Proper
Instruction to open an account, or to place or maintain Foreign Assets, in
each country listed on Schedule A in which the Custodian has previously
placed or currently maintains Foreign Assets pursuant to the terms of the
Contract. Following the receipt of Proper Instructions directing the Foreign
Custody Manager to close the account of a Fund with the Eligible Foreign
Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager in a designated country,
the delegation by that Fund's Board to the Custodian as Foreign Custody
Manager for that country shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and the
Custodian shall immediately cease to be the Foreign Custody Manager of the
Fund with respect to that country.
<PAGE>
The Foreign Custody Manager may withdraw its acceptance of delegated
responsibilities with respect to a designated country upon written notice to
the Fund. Thirty days (or such longer period as to which the parties agree in
writing) after receipt of any such notice by the Fund, the Custodian shall
have no further responsibility as Foreign Custody Manager to the Fund with
respect to the country as to which the Custodian's acceptance of delegation
is withdrawn.
3.4. SCOPE OF DELEGATED RESPONSIBILITIES.
3.4.1. SELECTION OF ELIGIBLE FOREIGN CUSTODIANS.
Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, the Fund's Foreign Custody
Manager may place and maintain the Foreign Assets in the care of the Eligible
Foreign Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager in each country
listed on Schedule A, as amended from time to time.
In performing its delegated responsibilities as Foreign Custody Manager to
place or maintain Foreign Assets with an Eligible Foreign Custodian, the
Foreign Custody Manager shall determine that the Foreign Assets will be
subject to reasonable care, based on the standards applicable to custodians
in the country in which the Foreign Assets will be held by that Eligible
Foreign Custodian, after considering all factors relevant to the safekeeping
of such assets, including, without limitation the factors specified in Rule
17f-5(c)(1).
3.4.2. CONTRACTS WITH ELIGIBLE FOREIGN CUSTODIANS.
The Foreign Custody Manager shall determine that the contract (or the rules
or established practices or procedures in the case of an Eligible Foreign
Custodian that is a foreign securities depository or clearing agency)
governing the foreign custody arrangements with each Eligible Foreign
Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager will satisfy the
requirements of Rule 17f-5(c)(2).
3.4.3. MONITORING.
In each case in which the Foreign Custody Manager maintains Foreign Assets
with an Eligible Foreign Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager,
the Foreign Custody Manager shall establish a system to monitor (i) the
appropriateness of maintaining the Foreign Assets with such Eligible Foreign
Custodian and (ii) the contract governing the custody arrangements
established by the Foreign Custody Manager with the Eligible Foreign
Custodian (or the rules or established practices and procedures in the case
of an Eligible Foreign Custodian selected by the Foreign Custody Manager
which is a foreign securities depository or clearing agency that is not a
Mandatory Securities Depository). The Foreign Custody Manager shall provide
the Board at least annually with information as to the factors used in such
monitoring system. If the Foreign Custody Manager determines that the custody
arrangements with an Eligible Foreign Custodian it has selected are no longer
appropriate, the Foreign Custody Manager shall notify the Board in accordance
with Section 3.7 hereunder and withdraw the Foreign Assets from such Eligible
Foreign Custodian as soon as reasonably practicable.
3.5. GUIDELINES FOR THE EXERCISE OF DELEGATED AUTHORITY.
<PAGE>
For purposes of this Article 3, the Foreign Custody Manager shall have no
responsibility for Country Risk as is incurred by placing and maintaining the
Foreign Assets in each country for which the Custodian is serving as Foreign
Custody Manager of the Portfolios. The Fund and the Custodian each expressly
acknowledge that the Foreign Custody Manager shall not be delegated any
responsibilities under this Article 3 with respect to Mandatory Securities
Depositories.
3.6. STANDARD OF CARE AS FOREIGN CUSTODY MANAGER OF A PORTFOLIO.
In performing the responsibilities delegated to it, the Foreign Custody
Manager agrees to exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence such as a
person having responsibility for the safekeeping of assets of management
investment companies registered under the 1940 Act would exercise.
3.7. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
The Foreign Custody Manager shall report the placement of Foreign Assets with
an Eligible Foreign Custodian, the withdrawal of the Foreign Assets from an
Eligible Foreign Custodian and the placement of such Foreign Assets with
another Eligible Foreign Custodian by providing to the Board amended
Schedules A or B at the end of the calendar quarter in which an amendment to
either Schedule has occurred. The Foreign Custody Manager shall make written
reports notifying the Board of any other material change in the foreign
custody arrangements of the Funds described in this Article 3 promptly after
the occurrence of the material change.
3.8. REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO RULE 17F-5.
The Foreign Custody Manager represents to the Fund that it is a U.S. Bank as
defined in section (a)(7) of Rule 17f-5.
3.9. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION OF THE CUSTODIAN AS FOREIGN CUSTODY
MANAGER.
The Board's delegation to the Custodian as Foreign Custody Manager of the
Funds shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall remain in effect
until terminated at any time, without penalty, by written notice from the
terminating party to the non-terminating party. Termination will become
effective sixty (60) days after receipt by the non-terminating party of such
notice. The provisions of Section 3.3 hereof shall govern the delegation to
and termination of the Custodian as Foreign Custody Manager of the Funds with
respect to designated countries.
3.10. MOST FAVORED CLIENT.
If at any time prior to termination of this Amendment, the Custodian, as a
matter of standard business practice, accepts delegation as Foreign Custody
Manager for its U.S. mutual fund clients on terms of materially greater
benefit to the Funds than set forth in this Amendment, the Custodian hereby
agrees to negotiate with the Funds in good faith with respect thereto.
<PAGE>
4. DUTIES OF THE CUSTODIAN WITH RESPECT TO PROPERTY OF THE FUNDS HELD

foreign branch of the Custodian or another Bank (as defined in Section

foreign securities of the Funds which are maintained in such account shall
identify those securities as belonging to the Funds and (ii), to the extent

transaction occurs generally accepted by Institutional Clients, including,
without limitation, delivering Foreign Assets to the purchaser thereof or to
a dealer therefor (or an agent for such purchaser or dealer) with the
expectation of receiving later payment for such Foreign Assets from such
purchaser or dealer.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Institutional Clients" means U.S.

changes in the custody and settlement practices in countries in which the
Custodian employs a Foreign Sub-Custodian. The Custodian shall provide,
without limitation, information relating to Foreign Securities Systems and
other information described in Schedule C. The Custodian may revise Schedule
C from time to time, provided that no such revision shall result in the Board
being provided with substantively less information than had previously been
provided hereunder and provided further that the Custodian shall in any event
provide to the Board at least annually the following information and opinions
with respect to the Board approved countries listed on Schedule A:
(i) legal opinions relating to whether local law restricts with respect to
U.S. registered mutual fund's (a) access of a fund's independent public

(iii) country profile information containing market practice for (a) delivery

4.5. REGISTRATION OF FOREIGN SECURITIES.
The foreign securities maintained in the custody of a Foreign Sub-Custodian
(other than bearer securities) shall be registered in the name of the
applicable series or in the name of the Custodian or in the name of any
Foreign Sub-Custodian or in the name of any nominee of the foregoing, and the
Fund agrees to hold any such nominee harmless from any liability as a holder
of record of such foreign securities, except to the extent that the Fund
incurs loss or damage due to failure of such nominee to meet its standard of
care set forth in the Contract. The Custodian or a Foreign Sub-Custodian
shall not be obligated to accept securities on behalf of a Fund under the
terms of this Contract unless the form of such securities and the manner in
which they are delivered are in accordance with reasonable market practice.
4.6. BANK ACCOUNTS.
The Custodian shall identify on its books as belonging to the Fund cash
(including cash denominated in foreign currencies) deposited with the
Custodian. Where the Custodian is unable to maintain, or market practice does
not facilitate the maintenance of, cash on the books of the Custodian, a bank
account or bank accounts opened and maintained outside the United States on
behalf of a Fund with a
<PAGE>
Foreign Sub-Custodian shall be subject only to draft or order by the
Custodian or such Foreign Sub-Custodian, acting pursuant to the terms of this
Contract to hold cash received by or from or for the account of the Portfolio.
4.7. COLLECTION OF INCOME.
The Custodian shall use reasonable commercial efforts to collect all income
and other payments with respect to the Foreign Assets held hereunder to which
the Funds shall be entitled and shall credit such income, as collected, to
the applicable Fund. In the event that extraordinary measures are required to
collect such income, the Fund and the Custodian shall consult as to such
measures and as to the compensation and expenses of the Custodian relating to
such measures.
4.8. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS.
With respect to the foreign securities held pursuant to this Article 4, the
Custodian will use reasonable commercial efforts to facilitate the exercise
of voting and other shareholder rights, subject always to the laws,
regulations and practical constraints that may exist in the country where
such securities are issued. The Fund acknowledges that local conditions,
including lack of regulation, onerous procedural obligations, lack of notice
and other factors may have the effect of severely limiting the ability of the
Fund to exercise shareholder rights.
4.9. COMMUNICATIONS RELATING TO FOREIGN SECURITIES.
The Custodian shall transmit promptly to the Fund written information
(including, without limitation, pendency of calls and maturities of foreign
securities and expirations of rights in connection therewith) received by the
Custodian via the Foreign Sub-Custodians from issuers of the foreign
securities being held for the account of the Funds. With respect to tender or
exchange offers, the Custodian shall transmit promptly to the Fund written
information so received by the Custodian from issuers of the foreign
securities whose tender or exchange is sought or from the party (or its
agents) making the tender or exchange offer. Subject to the standard of care
to which the Custodian is held under this Agreement, the Custodian shall not
be liable for any untimely exercise of any tender, exchange or other right or
power in connection with foreign securities or other property of the Funds at
any time held by it unless (i) the Custodian or the respective Foreign
Sub-Custodian is in actual possession of such foreign securities or property
and (ii) the Custodian receives Proper Instructions with regard to the
exercise of any such right or power, and both (i) and (ii) occur at least
three business days prior to the date on which the Custodian is to take
action to exercise such right or power.
4.10. LIABILITY OF FOREIGN SUB-CUSTODIANS AND FOREIGN SECURITIES SYSTEMS.
Each agreement pursuant to which the Custodian employs a Foreign
Sub-Custodian shall, to the extent possible, require the Foreign
Sub-Custodian to exercise reasonable care in the performance of its duties
and, to the extent possible, to indemnify, and hold harmless, the Custodian
from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim arising
out of or in connection with the Foreign Sub-Custodian's performance of such
obligations. At each Fund's election, a Fund shall be entitled to
<PAGE>
be subrogated to the rights of the Custodian with respect to any claims
against a Foreign Sub-Custodian as a consequence of any such loss, damage,
cost, expense, liability or claim if and to the extent that a Fund and any
applicable series have not been made whole for any such loss, damage, cost,
expense, liability or claim.
4.11. TAX LAW.
Except to the extent that imposition of any tax liability arises from the
Custodian's failure to perform in accordance with the terms of this Section
4.11 or from the failure of any Foreign Sub-Custodian to perform in
accordance with the terms of the applicable subcustody agreement, the
Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability for any obligations now
or hereafter imposed on a Fund, a series thereof or the Custodian as
custodian of the Fund by the tax law of the United States or of any state or
political subdivision thereof. It shall be the responsibility of each Fund to
notify the Custodian of the obligations imposed on the Fund or the Custodian
as custodian of the Fund by the tax law of countries other than those
mentioned in the above sentence, including responsibility for withholding and
other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, certifications and
governmental reporting. The sole responsibility of the Custodian with regard
to such tax law shall be to use reasonable efforts to assist the Fund with
respect to any claim for exemption or refund under the tax law of countries
for which the Fund has provided such information.
4.12. LIABILITY OF CUSTODIAN.
Except as may arise from the Custodian's own negligence or willful misconduct
or the negligence or willful misconduct of a Sub-Custodian, the Custodian
shall be without liability to a Fund for any loss, liability, claim or
expense resulting from or caused by anything which is (A) part of Country
Risk or (B) part of the "prevailing country risk" of the Fund, as such term
is used in SEC Release Nos. IC-22658; IS-1080 (May 12,1997) or as such term
or other similar terms are now or in the future interpreted by the SEC or by
the staff of the Division of Investment Management of the SEC. The Custodian
shall be liable for the acts or omissions of a Foreign Sub-Custodian to the
same extent as set forth with respect to sub-custodians generally in the
Contract and, regardless of whether assets are maintained in the custody of a
Foreign Sub-Custodian or a Foreign Securities System, the Custodian shall not
be liable for any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim resulting
from nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, or acts of war or
terrorism, or any other loss where the Sub-Custodian has otherwise acted with
reasonable care.
III. Except as specifically superseded or modified herein, the terms and
provisions of the Contract shall continue to apply with full force and
effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Contract
prior to this Amendment and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment
shall prevail. If the Custodian is delegated the responsibilities of
Foreign Custody Manager pursuant to the terms of Article 3 hereof, in the
event of any conflict between the provisions of Articles 3 and 4 hereof,
the provisions of Article 3 shall prevail.
