This amendment, made as of August 29, 2024, and effective August 29, 2024 (the “Amendment”), to the Amended and Restated Master Custodian Agreement dated as of December 1, 2022 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Agreement”), is by and among each management investment company identified on Appendix A thereto (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”, and together with the Funds, the “Parties”).

 

Whereas, Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund has established the Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund LLC and the Board of Trustees of Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund has approved the addition of the Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund LLC to the Agreement, effective August 29, 2024; and

 

Whereas, the Parties have agreed to amend the Agreement, including its Appendix A, to add the Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund LLC as an additional Fund (the “New Fund”), pursuant to Section 20.5 of the Agreement, effective as of August 29, 2024.

 

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

By execution of this Amendment, the New Fund hereby agrees (a) to become bound by all of the terms and conditions and provisions of the Agreement as a Fund including, without limitation, the representations and warranties set forth therein, and (b) to adopt the Agreement with the same force and effect as if the New Fund was originally a party thereto. It is further agreed that the services to be provided to the New Fund shall be those set forth in the Agreement.

 

2)Appendix A to the Agreement is hereby deleted, in its entirety, and replaced with the Appendix A attached hereto to reflect the addition of the New Fund as an additional Fund.

 

3)Except as specifically amended hereby, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

4)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 instrument. Counterparts may be executed in either original or electronically transmitted form (e.g., faxes or emailed portable document format (PDF) form), and the Parties hereby adopt as original any signatures received via electronically transmitted form.
