AMENDMENT TO CUSTODY AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment to the Custody Agreement (defined below) is made as of October 1, 2013 by and between each investment company identified on Schedule 1 hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time (each such investment company and each investment company made subject to the Custody Agreement in accordance with Section 10.12 thereof, the "Fund"), and The Bank of New York Mellon (the "Custodian").  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Custody Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, the Fund and the Custodian entered into a Custody Agreement dated as of January 1, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Custody Agreement"); and

 

WHEREAS, the Fund and Dreyfus Transfer, Inc. ("DTI") entered into a Transfer Agency Agreement dated as of May 29, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified), pursuant to which DTI performs or will perform, among other services, certain cash management and related services.

 

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

 

  I.                  Section 6.2 of the Custody Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

"6.2      Shareholder Draft Processing Agreement; Transfer Agency Agreement  With regard to any Fund that is not a closed-end Fund, the parties acknowledge that their respective obligations with regard to the redemption of shares in connection with the processing of shareholder redemption drafts issued by certain Funds are set forth in a Shareholder Draft Processing Agreement between the Fund and the Custodian, dated as of October 1, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified).  Other matters relating to obligations with regard to the sale and redemption of shares issued by the Fund, and the payment of Fund dividends and distributions, are set forth in a Transfer Agency Agreement between the Fund and Dreyfus Transfer, Inc. dated as of May 29, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified)."

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.

IV.       New York Law to Apply.   This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the state of New York without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

 

V.        Counterparts.   This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.

 


 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Amendment to be executed in its name and behalf by its duly authorized representative as of the date first above written.
