Re: Form of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Custodian Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2017, by and among GMO Trust, on behalf of its series of the Trust, Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”) and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as amended (the “Custodian Agreement”), and the Amended and Restated Delegation Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2001, by and between State Street Bank and GMO Trust, on behalf of its series of the Trust, as amended (the “Delegation Agreement”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

GMO Trust hereby notifies you that it has established one additional series of shares, namely, GMO High Yield Fund (the “New Fund”). The Trust (as defined in each of the Custodian Agreement and the Delegation Agreement) desires that you serve as (i) custodian of the assets of the New Fund under the terms of the Custodian Agreement and (ii) delegate with respect to the assets of the New Fund under the terms of the Delegation Agreement.

If you agree to so serve as custodian and delegate 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 and Delegation Agreement. This letter agreement shall constitute an amendment to the Custodian Agreement and the Delegation Agreement and, as such, a binding agreement among the Trust, GMO (only in the case of the Custodian Agreement) and you in accordance with its terms. An amended Schedule A with a list of GMO Trust Funds is attached hereto.

Furthermore, please sign below to reflect your agreement to amend Schedule A to each of the Remote Access Services Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2015, and the Funds Transfer and Transaction Operating Guidelines Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2008, each by and among State Street Bank and the Trust on behalf of each of its series listed on Schedule A thereto, in order to add the New Fund to each such Schedule A.

The New Fund will provide five business days’ notice to State Street Bank prior to the commencement of the New Fund’s operations.
