Ladies and Gentlemen:
     GMO Trust hereby notifies you that it has established one additional series of shares, namely, GMO Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund (the “New Fund”). The Trust (as defined in each of the Custodian Agreement, the Delegation Schedule, and the Accounting Agency Agreement) desires that you serve as (i) custodian of the assets of the New Fund under the terms of the Custodian Agreement, (ii) delegate with respect to the assets of the New Fund under the terms of the Delegation Schedule, and (iii) accounting agent of the assets of the New Fund under the terms of the Accounting Agency Agreement.
     If you agree to so serve as custodian, delegate, and accounting agent for the New Fund, kindly sign and return to the Trust the enclosed counterpart hereof, whereupon the New Fund shall be deemed a “Fund” under each of the Custodian Agreement, the Delegation Schedule, and the Accounting Agency Agreement. This letter agreement shall constitute an amendment to each of the Custodian Agreement, the Delegation Schedule, and the Accounting Agency Agreement and, as such, a binding agreement among the Trust and you in accordance with each of their terms.
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.
