Re: | Amendment to the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated August 1, 1991, by and among GMO Trust, on behalf of certain of its series of the Trust, Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC and State Street Bank and Trust Company (as successor by merger to Investors Bank & Trust Co.), as amended. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Article 17 of the Agreement, GMO Trust (the “Trust”) hereby notifies you that it
has created three new series of shares, namely, GMO Asset Allocation International Small Companies
Fund, GMO International Large Cap Value Fund, and GMO Benchmark-Free Fund (each a “New Fund” and
collectively, the “New Funds”) with respect to which the Trust and the Manager (as defined in the
Agreement) desire that you serve as transfer agent under the terms of the Agreement.
If you agree to so serve as transfer agent for the New Funds, kindly sign and return to the
Trust the enclosed counterpart hereof, whereupon each New Fund shall be deemed a “Fund” under the
Agreement. This letter agreement shall constitute an amendment to the Agreement and, as such, a
binding agreement among the Trust, the Manager and you in accordance with its terms.
Each New Fund will provide five business days’ notice to State Street Bank and Trust Company
prior to the commencement of the New Fund’s operations.
Notice
A copy of the Declaration of Trust, together with all amendments thereto, is on file with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and notice is hereby given that this instrument is
executed on behalf of the Trust by an officer of the Trust as an officer and not individually and
that the obligations of this instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees or officers of the
Trust or shareholders of any series of the Trust individually but are binding only upon the assets
and property of the Trust or the respective series.
