WHEREAS, the Funds and the Custodian are parties to a Master Custodian Agreement dated as of September 22, 2010 (as amended, modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Custodian Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Funds and the Custodian desire to amend certain provisions of the Custodian Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereby agree to amend the Custodian Agreement, pursuant to the terms thereof, as follows:

“This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for an initial term ending December 17, 2017 (the “Initial Term”).”

 

2.

TERMINATION

In addition to the termination rights of the Funds set forth in the first paragraph of Section 17 of the Custodian Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the Custodian Agreement may be terminated by any Fund in accordance with the first paragraph of such Section 17 in the event of the termination of that certain Master Sub-Administration Agreement dated as of the date hereof, and as may be amended from time to time, by and between Transamerica Fund Services, Inc.
