Gentlemen:
Please be advised that Janus Investment Fund (the "Fund") has established
several new series of shares as noted below. In accordance with the Additional
Funds provision in Section 16 of the Custodian Contract dated July 31, 1986, as
amended, between the Fund and State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State
Street"), the Fund hereby requests confirmation that State Street will act as
custodian for foreign securities for the new series under the terms of the
contract.
Newly Organized Series:
Janus Balanced Fund
Janus Enterprise Fund
Janus Short-Term Bond Fund
Reorganized Series:
Janus Twenty Fund (formerly Janus Twenty Fund, Inc.)
Janus Venture Fund (formerly Janus Venture Fund, Inc.)
Janus Flexible Income Fund
(formerly a series of Janus Income Series)
Janus Intermediate Government Securities Fund
(formerly a series of Janus Income Series)
The new series established pursuant to the reorganization of Janus Twenty
Fund, Inc., Janus Venture Fund, Inc. and Janus Income Series (including the
series Janus Flexible Income Fund and Janus Intermediate Government Securities
Fund) render the separate Custodian Contracts between such funds and State
Street unnecessary. Accordingly, this letter also serves as notification of
termination of such Custodian Contracts.
Please indicate your acceptance of the foregoing by executing two copies of
this Letter Agreement, returning one copy to the Fund and retaining one copy for
your records.
