Company dated October 1, 2005 (the "Agreement"). The parties wish to amend the
Agreement to change the name of a party and the state under which that party was
organized: Laudus Variable Insurance Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is
hereby changed to Laudus Institutional Trust, a Delaware statutory trust.
In addition, the parties wish to amend Schedule A to the Agreement. Schedule A

Mondrian International Fixed Income Fund, Laudus Mondrian International Equity
Fund, Laudus Mondrian Global Equity Fund, Laudus Mondrian Institutional

In accordance with the Additional Funds provisions of Section 1 of the

Trust hereby confirms to you, as of the date hereof, its representations and
warranties set forth in Section 4 of the aforementioned contract; except that
Section 4(a) is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
It is either a business trust, duly organized, existing and in good
standing under the laws of Massachusetts, or a statutory trust, duly
organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware;
