Attn: Vice President, Custody
Dear Sir or Madam:
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Trust (the "Fund"), as a party to the Custodian
and Investment Accounting Agreement between various Lord ▇▇▇▇▇▇-sponsored mutual
funds and State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") dated November 1,
2001 (the "Agreement"), requests an amendment to the Agreement pursuant to
Section 17.
Section 17 of the Agreement provides that, "in the event that a Fund
establishes one or more series with respect to which it desires to have State
Street render services as custodian and recordkeeper under the terms [of the
Agreement], it shall so notify State Street in writing, and if State Street
agrees in writing to provide such services, such series of Shares shall become a
Portfolio [under the terms of the Agreement]." This letter is to notify State
Street that on June 22, 2006 the Fund's Board executed an Amendment to the
Declaration and Agreement of Trust establishing a new Portfolio of the Fund,
(the "Portfolio") the legal name of which is as follows: ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Diversified
Equity Strategy Fund. It is the Fund's desire to have State Street render
services as custodian and recordkeeper to the Portfolio under the terms of the
Agreement; therefore, the Fund requests that State Street agree, in writing, to
provide such services to the Portfolio thereby making the Portfolio a Portfolio
under the terms of the Agreement.
Attached is an Amended Exhibit A to the Agreement that shows the
entity names and series of each fund that participates in the Agreement as of
the close of business on June 29, 2006.
It is currently anticipated that the registration statement for the
Portfolio will become effective on June 29, 2006. Accordingly, we appreciate
your prompt attention to this matter. Please indicate State Street's acceptance
by signing below.
