Exhibit (g)(ii)
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 ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) 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.
"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.
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.
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.
4. DUTIES OF THE CUSTODIAN WITH RESPECT TO PROPERTY OF THE FUNDS HELD OUTSIDE
THE UNITED STATES.
4.1 DEFINITIONS.

"Foreign Securities System" means either a clearing agency or a securities
depository listed on Schedule A hereto or a Mandatory Securities Depository
listed on Schedule B hereto.

branch of the Custodian or another Bank (as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the

The Custodian shall identify on its books as belonging to the Funds the foreign
securities held by each Foreign Sub-Custodian or Foreign Securities System. The
Custodian may hold foreign securities for all of its customers, including the
Funds, with any Foreign Sub-Custodian in an account that is identified as
belonging to the Custodian for the benefit of its customers, PROVIDED HOWEVER,
that (i) the records of the Custodian with respect to 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 permitted and customary in the
market in which the account is maintained, the Custodian shall require that

assets of such Foreign Sub-Custodian or of other customers of such Foreign
Sub-Custodian.

accordance with the customary established securities trading or processing
practices and procedures in the country or market in which the 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.

companies, pension funds or substantially
similar institutions which, as a part of their ordinary business operations,
purchase or sell securities and make use of global custody services.
The Custodian shall provide to the Board information with respect to material
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

Securities System, (b) a fund's ability to recover in the event of bankruptcy or

(iii) country profile information containing market practice for (a) delivery
versus payment, (b) settlement method, (c) currency restrictions, (d) buy-in
practices, (e) foreign ownership limits, and (f) unique market arrangements.
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
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 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Amendment to be
executed in its name and behalf by its duly authorized representative as of the
date first above written.
