II.            The parties hereby acknowledge that the reference to "Schedule A" in the Custody Agreement that appears above the signature line for the authorized officer of the Funds is understood to refer to Schedule 1 thereto, which is replaced by Schedule 1 hereto.

 

III.            Continuing Agreement. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the provisions of the Custody Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
