AMENDMENT TO CUSTODIAN CONTRACT
Agreement made as of this 1st day of October, 1989 by and between State
Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Custodian") and Lifetime Emerging
Growth Trust (the "Trust").
WHEREAS, the Custodian and the Trust are parties to a Custodian
Contract dated January 28, 1988 (the "Custodian Contract) which governs the
terms and conditions under which the Custodian maintains custody of the
securities and other assets of the Trust;
WHEREAS, the Custodian may delegate to Massachusetts Financial Services
Company ("MFS") the performance of certain duties the Custodian would otherwise
be obligated to perform pursuant to the Custodian Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Trust agrees to any such delegation of certain Custodian
duties;
NOW THEREFORE, the Custodian and the Trust hereby amend the terms of
the Custodian Contract and mutually agree to the following:
1) Add new Section 18 which shall read as follows:
18. Delegation of Certain Custodian Duties to MFS.
The Custodian may delegate to MFS the performance of any or
all of its duties hereunder relating to (i) accounting for investments in
currency and for financial instruments (including, without limitation, options,
contracts, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, options on foreign
currency and forward foreign currency exchange contracts) and (ii) federal and
state regulatory compliance. The Custodian shall compensate MFS for the
performance of such duties at such fee or fees as MFS shall determine to be
equal to MFS's cost for performing such duties (the "MFS Fees"). Following its
payment of the MFS Fees to MFS, the Custodian shall recover the amount of the
MFS Fees and from the Trust on such terms as the Custodian and the Trust shall
agree. MFS assumes responsibility for all duties delegated to it by the
Custodian pursuant to this Section 18, and the Custodian may rely on MFS for the
accuracy and correctness of the accounting information provided by MFS to the
Custodian pursuant to this Section 18.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto have caused this
instrument to be executed in its name and on its behalf by a duly authorized
representative as of the aforementioned day and year.
