less of the highest number of Units issued by the Trust. No in-
kind distribution requests submitted during the 30 business days
prior to the Trust's Mandatory Termination Date will be honored.
K. No Unit holder will be eligible for an in-kind

subject to the requirements set forth in this Section
2.01(g) and unless the Prospectus otherwise requires, the
Depositor may, on any Business Day (the "Trade Date"),
subscribe for additional Units as follows:
(i) Prior to the Evaluation Time on such Business Day,
the Depositor shall provide notice (the "Subscription
Notice") to the Trustee, by telephone or by written
communication, of the Depositor's intention to subscribe for
additional Units. The Subscription Notice shall identify
the additional Securities to be acquired (which will be a
precise replication of the then existing portfolio, as
consistent with the provisions of Section 2.01(b)) and shall
either (a) specify the quantity of additional Securities to
be deposited by the Depositor on the settlement date for
such subscription or (b) instruct the Trustee to purchase
additional Securities with an aggregate value as specified
in the Subscription Notice.
(ii) Promptly following the Evaluation Time on such
Business Day, the Depositor shall verify with the Trustee
the number of additional Units to be created.
(iii) Not later than the time on the settlement date for
such subscription when the Trustee is to deliver or assign
the additional Units created hereby, the Depositor shall
deposit with the Trustee (a) any additional Securities
specified in the Subscription Notice (or contracts to
purchase such additional Securities together with cash or a
Letter of Credit in the amount necessary to settle such
contracts) or (b) cash or a Letter of Credit in an amount
equal to the aggregate value of the additional Securities
specified in the Subscription Notice to be purchased by the
Trustee, and adding and subtracting the amounts specified in
the first and second sentences of Section 5.01, computed as

the Evaluation Time on the Business Day preceding the Trade

(iv) On the settlement date for such subscription, the
Trustee shall, in exchange for the Securities and cash, cash
or Letter of Credit described above, deliver to, or assign
in the name of or on the order of, the Depositor the number
of Units verified by the Depositor with the Trustee.
(v) In the event the Depositor fails to take such
action required by paragraph (iii) above, the Trustee shall,
on the settlement date for such subscription, settle the
securities transactions specified in the Subscription
Notice.
(vi) Neither the Trust nor Unit holders of the Trust
will be responsible for any loss resulting from the failure
of the Depositor to take such action required by paragraph
(iii) above."
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, Section 6.01(e) shall be
amended to read as follows:
"(e) (1) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (2) of
this paragraph, the Trustee may employ agents, sub-
custodians, attorneys, accountants and auditors and shall
not be answerable for the default or misconduct of any such
agents, sub-custodians, attorneys, accountants or auditors
if such agents, sub-custodians, attorneys, accountants or
auditors shall have been selected with reasonable care. The
Trustee shall be fully protected in respect of any action
under this Indenture taken or suffered in good faith by the
Trustee in accordance with the opinion of counsel, which may
be counsel to the Depositor acceptable to the Trustee,
provided, however that this disclaimer of liability shall
not excuse the Trustee from the responsibilities specified
in subparagraph (2) below. The fees and expenses charged by
such agents, sub-custodians, attorneys, accountants or
auditors shall constitute an expense of the Trust
reimbursable from the Income and Capital Accounts of the
Trust as set forth in section 7.04 hereof.
(2) To the extent permitted under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the
Depositor satisfactory to the Trustee or "no-action" letters
or exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission or its staff, the Trustee may place and maintain
in the care of an Eligible Foreign Custodian (which is
employed by the Trustee as a sub-custodian as contemplated
by subparagraph (1) of this paragraph (e) and which may be
an affiliate or subsidiary of the Trustee or any other
entity in which the Trustee may have an ownership interest)
or an Eligible Securities Depository the Trust's investments
(including foreign currencies) for which the primary market
is outside the United States, and such cash and cash
equivalents in amounts reasonably necessary to effect the
Trust's transactions in such investments, provided that:
(A) The Trustee shall indemnify the Trust and hold
the Trust harmless from and against any risk of loss of
Trust assets held with an Eligible Foreign Custodian in
accordance with the foreign custody contract.

prudence and diligence such as a person having

occurring as a result of its failure to do so.
(C) The Trustee shall perform all duties assigned to
the Foeign Custody Manager by Rule 17f-5 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR Section 270.17f-
5), as now in effect or as such rule may be amended in
the future ("Rule 17f-5"). The Trustee shall not
delegate such duties.
(D) The Trustee shall (i) provide the Depositor with
an analysis of the custody risks associated with
maintaining assets with an Eligible Securities
Depository; (ii) monitor the custody risks associated
with maintaining assets with the Eligible Securities
Depository on a continuing basis and promptly notify the
Depositor of any material change in such risks; and
(iii) exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence in
performing the foregoing duties. The Depositor shall
instruct the Trustee to take such action as the Depositor
deems appropriate in response to a notification by the
Trustee provided pursuant to (ii) in the preceding
sentence.
(E) The Trust's Prospectus shall contain such
disclosure regarding foreign securities and foreign
custody as is required for management investment
companies by Forms N-1A and N-2. Such Prospectus shall
also contain disclosure concerning the Depositor's
responsibilities described in (D) above.
(F) The Trustee shall maintain and keep current

than six years from the end of the fiscal year in which
the Trust was terminated, the first two years in an
easily accessible place. Such records shall be available
for inspection by Unit holders and the Securities and
Exchange Commission at the Trustee's corporate trust
office during its usual business hours."
E. Section 4.05 shall be amended to add the following
paragraph as the third paragraph of Section 4.05 of the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust:
"The Portfolio Supervisor may employ one or more sub-
Portfolio Supervisors to assist in performing the services
set forth in this Section 4.05 and shall not be answerable
for the default of any such sub-Portfolio Supervisors if
such sub-Portfolio Supervisors shall have been selected with
reasonable care, provided, however, that the Portfolio
Supervisor will indemnify and hold the Trust harmless from
and against any loss occurring as a result of a sub-
Portfolio Supervisor's willful misfeasance, reckless
disregard, bad faith, or gross negligence in performing
supervisory duties. The fees and expenses charged by such
sub-Portfolio Supervisors shall be paid by the Portfolio
Supervisor out of proceeds received by the Portfolio
Supervisor in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof."
F. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, the Trustee may deem and
treat the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent as the sole Unit holder of

I. Article III of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be amended to include the following section:
"Section 3.16. FTPS Unit Servicing Agent. FTP Services
LLC acts as record keeper, shareholder servicing agent and
distribution agent for Units which are purchased and sold
through the Fund/SERV(R) trading system or on a manual basis
through FTP Services LLC. ("FTPS Units"). (a) The FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent shall perform all of the duties with respect
to recordkeeping of FTPS Units and FTPS Unit holders,
distributions, redemption of FTPS Units and communications
to and with FTPS Unit holders listed below.
(1) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall keep proper
books of record and account of all of the transactions in
the FTPS Units of each Trust under this Indenture at its
corporate office, including a record of the name and address
of, and the FTPS Units issued by each Trust and held by,
every FTPS Unit holder, and such books and records of each
Trust shall be made available to the Trustee and the
Depositor promptly upon request and open to inspection by
any FTPS Unit holder of such Trust, with respect to such
FTPS Unit holders transactions, at all reasonable times
during usual business hours. Without limiting the
foregoing, the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall make any
records or documents described in Reg. 270.31(a)-1 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 available promptly to the
Trustee and the Depositor upon request during usual business
hours and will preserve such records and documents for the
periods prescribed in Reg. 270.31(a)-2 thereunder.
(2) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall distribute on or
shortly after the Distribution Dates specified in the Trust
Agreement to each FTPS Unit holder of record on its books on
the Record Date for each such Distribution Date specified in
the Trust Agreement such FTPS Unit holder's distribution as
computed under the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust.
(3) In connection with such distributions set forth
above, the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall furnish a
Distribution Statement to FTPS Unit holders of record on its
books. The content and frequency of such Distribution
Statements shall in no respect be less detailed or frequent
than that specified in Section 3.06 of the Standard Terms
and Conditions of Trust.
(4) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall transmit to each
FTPS Unit holder of record any notice or other communication
received from the Trustee and shall be solely responsible
for soliciting and transmitting to the Trustee any notice
required from FTPS Unit holders.
(5) For purposes of permitting FTPS Unit holders to
satisfy any reporting requirements of applicable federal or
state tax law, the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall provide
the Trustee with the name, address, number of FTPS Units
held by, and such other information as requested by the
Trustee, for every FTPS Unit holder so that the Trustee can
transmit to any FTPS Unit holder of record on the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent's books any reports required to be
distributed pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Standard Terms
and Conditions of Trust. The Trustee may rely on the
accuracy and completeness of the information (including any
records or documents made available) provided to it by the
FTPS Unit Servicing Agent and may accept such information
without inquiry. Each of the Depositor and the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent hereby agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify the Trustee and hold Trustee harmless from and
against any and all costs, expenses, penalties, damages,
liabilities or claims including attorneys' and accountants'
fees sustained or incurred by or asserted against the
Trustee by reason of or as a result of any of the
information provided to the Trustee by the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent being inaccurate or incomplete. This
indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of each of the
Depositor and the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, and their
successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of
this Trust Agreement.
(6) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall distribute to
redeeming FTPS Unit holders of record on its books
redemption proceeds it receives pursuant to Section 5.02 of
the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust from the Trustee
as the sole record owner of FTPS Units on the Trustee's
books.
(7) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall distribute to
FTPS Unit holders of record on its books a pro rata portion
of termination proceeds it receives pursuant to Section 8.02
of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust from the
Trustee as the sole record owner of FTPS Units on the
Trustee's books.
(8) In connection with such termination distributions
set forth above, the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall furnish
a Final Distribution Statement to FTPS Unit holders of
record on its books. The content of such Final Distribution
Statements shall in no respect be less detailed than that
specified in Section 8.02 of the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust.
(9) As requested by the Depositor and/or the Trustee,
the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall perform such other
functions which, from time to time, are agreed upon by the
parties hereto and which may give rise to additional fees.
(b) As compensation for providing the services set
forth herein, of a character described in Section
26(a)(2)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and to
the extent that such services are in addition to, and do not
duplicate, the services to be performed by the Trustee, FTP
Services LLC shall receive, in arrears, against a statement
or statements therefore submitted to the Trustee monthly or
annually an aggregate annual fee in the per Unit amount set
forth in Part II of the Trust Agreement for the Trust,
calculated based on the largest number of Units outstanding
during the calendar year, except during the initial offering
period as determined in Section 4.01 of the Standard Terms
and Conditions of Trust, in which case the fee is calculated
based on the largest number of Units outstanding during the
period for which the compensation is paid (such annual fee
to be pro rated for any calendar year in which FTP Services
LLC provides services described herein during less than the
whole of such year). Such fee may exceed the actual cost of
providing such services for the Trust, but at no time will
the total amount received by FTP Services LLC for rendering
the services described in this Section 3.16 and First Trust
Advisors, L.P. for rendering the services described in
Section 4.03 to unit investment trusts of which the
Depositor is the sponsor in any calendar year exceed the
aggregate cost to FTP Services LLC and First Trust Advisors,
L.P. of supplying such services in such year. Such
compensation may, from time to time, be adjusted by the
Depositor provided that the total adjustment upward does
not, at the time of such adjustment, exceed the percentage
of the total increase, after the date hereof, in consumer
prices for services as measured by the United States
Department of Labor Consumer Price Index entitled "All
Services Less Rent of Shelter" or similar index, if such
index should no longer be published. The consent or
concurrence of any Unit holder hereunder shall not be
required for any such adjustment or increase. Such
compensation shall be paid by the Trustee, upon receipt of
an invoice therefore from FTP Services LLC, which shall
constitute the representation by FTP Services LLC that the
bookkeeping and administrative services for which
compensation is claimed are properly compensable hereunder
and that the aggregate cost incurred by FTP Services LLC of
providing FTPS Unit shareholder servicing hereunder was not
less than the compensation claimed, upon which
representation the Trustee may conclusively rely. Such
compensation shall be charged against the Income and/or
Capital Accounts, in accordance with Section 3.05 of the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust.
If the cash balance in the Income and Capital Accounts
shall be insufficient to provide for amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Trustee shall have the
power to sell (i) Securities from the current list of
Securities designated to be sold pursuant to Section 5.02
hereof, or (ii) if no such Securities have been so
designated, such Securities as the Trustee may see fit to
sell in its own discretion, and to apply the proceeds of any
such sale in payment of the amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 3.16.
All moneys payable to the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent
pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall be secured by a lien on
the Trust prior to the interest of Unit holders, but no such
lien shall be prior to any lien in favor of the Trustee
under the provisions of Section 6.04 of the Standard Terms
and Conditions of Trust.
(c) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall be under no
liability for any action taken in good faith on any
appraisal, paper, order, list, demand, request, consent,
affidavit, notice, opinion, direction, evaluation,
endorsement, assignment, resolution, draft or other
document, whether or not of the same kind, prima facie
properly executed, or for the disposition of moneys,
pursuant to this Indenture, except by reason of its own
negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct,
provided that the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall not in
any event be liable or responsible for any evaluation made
by the Evaluator.
(d) Except as the context otherwise requires, the FTPS
Unit Servicing Agent shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 4.05 herein in the same manner as it would if it
were the Evaluator.
(e) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall be indemnified
ratably by the affected Trust and held harmless against any
loss or liability accruing to it without negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or
in connection with the operations of the Trust, including
the costs and expenses (including counsel fees) of defending
itself against any claim of liability in the premises,
including without limitation any loss, liability or expense
incurred in acting pursuant to written directions to the
FTPS Unit Servicing Agent given by the Trustee or Depositor
from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture or in undertaking actions from time to time which
the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent deems necessary in its
discretion to protect the Trust and the rights and interests
of the FTPS Unit holders pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture.
(f) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall conduct its
operations in a manner that is compatible with the current
operational procedures and requirements of the Trustee
(including, without limiting the foregoing, the provision
and receipt of data in such format and meeting such
technical requirements as the Trustee may specify) and shall
exercise its best efforts to accommodate any changes in the
operational procedures and requirements which the Trustee
may make upon prior notice to the FTPS Unit Servicing
Agent. The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that the
default of the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent in its obligations
under this paragraph, or the performance by the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent of its obligations in a manner which shall
adversely affect the Trustee's performance of its duties,
shall be a sufficient grounds for the Trustee to remove the
FTPS Unit Servicing Agent pursuant to Section 3.16(d) and
Section 4.05.
(g) As used in this Section 3.16, "FTPS Unit holder,"
when referring to the records of the Trustee, shall mean the
FTPS Unit Servicing Agent and, when referring to the records
to be maintained by the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, shall
mean each owner of a FTPS Unit identified on the records of
the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent."
J. Section 4.01(a) and (b) of the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust shall be amended to include the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent among the parties who are furnished information
concerning the Evaluation of each issue of Securities deposited
in the Trust and the Trust Fund Evaluation.
K. The second sentence of the first paragraph of Section
4.03 shall be replaced with the following:
"Such fee may exceed the actual cost of providing such
services for the Trust, but at no time will the total amount
received by First Trust Advisors L.P. for rendering the
services described in this Section 4.03 and FTP Services LLC
for rendering the services described in Section 3.16 to unit
investment trusts of which the Depositor is the sponsor in
any calendar year exceed the aggregate cost to FTP Services
LLC and First Trust Advisors, L.P. of supplying such
services in such year."
L. Section 4.04 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be replaced in its entirety by the following:
"Section 4.04. Liability of Evaluator. The Trustee,
FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, Depositor and the Unit holders
may rely on any Evaluation furnished by First Trust Advisors
L.P., acting in its capacity as Evaluator, and shall have no
responsibility for the accuracy thereof. The determinations
made by the Evaluator hereunder shall be made in good faith
upon the basis of the best information available to it. The
Evaluator shall be under no liability to the Trustee, FTPS
Unit Servicing Agent, Depositor or the Unit holders for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Evaluator against any liability to
which it would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder."
M. The second sentence of the first paragraph of Section
5.01 shall be amended to delete subsection (ii) of such sentence
and replace it in its entirety with the following:
"(ii) amounts representing estimated accrued expenses of
such Trust including but not limited to unpaid fees and
expenses of the Trustee, the Evaluator, the Portfolio
Supervisor, the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, the Depositor and
its counsel, in each case as reported by the Trustee to the
Depositor on or prior to the date of Evaluation,"
N. Section 6.01(c) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:
"(c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for or in
respect of the recitals herein, the validity or sufficiency
of this Indenture or for the due execution hereof by the
Depositor, the Portfolio Supervisor, the Evaluator, or the
FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, or for the form, character,
genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the
Securities (except that the Trustee shall be responsible for
the exercise of due care in determining the genuineness of
Securities delivered to it pursuant to contracts for the
purchase of such Securities) or for or in respect of the
validity or sufficiency of the Units or of the Certificates
(except for the due execution thereof by the Trustee) or for
the due execution thereof by the Depositor, and the Trustee
shall in no event assume or incur any liability, duty or
obligation to any Unit holder, the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent
or the Depositor other than as expressly provided for
herein. The Trustee shall not be responsible for or in
respect of the validity of any signature by or on behalf of
the Depositor, the Portfolio Supervisor, the Evaluator or
the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent;"
O. Section 8.02(b) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:
"(b) deduct from the Income Account of such Trust or,
to the extent that funds are not available in such Account,
from the Capital Account of such Trust, and pay accrued and
unpaid fees of the Evaluator, the Portfolio Supervisor, the
FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, the Depositor and counsel in
connection with such Trust, if any;"
P. Section 8.05 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be amended to add the following paragraph immediately
preceding the last paragraph of such section:
"Any notice, demand, direction or instruction to be given
to the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall be in writing and
shall be duly given if mailed or delivered to the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent at 000 X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other address as shall be
specified by the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent to the other
parties hereto in writing."
Q. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust, the second paragraph in Section
8.02 shall be amended to read as follows:
"In the event of any termination of the Trust prior to
the Mandatory Termination Date, the Trustee shall proceed to
liquidate the Securities then held and make the payments and
distributions provided for hereinafter in this Section 8.02,
except that in such event, the distribution to each Unit
holder shall be made in cash and shall be such Unit holder's
pro rata interest in the balance of the principal and income
accounts after the deductions herein provided. In the event
that the Trust shall terminate on or after the Mandatory
Termination Date, the Trustee shall, at least thirty days
prior to the Mandatory Termination Date, send a written
notice to all Unit holders of record. If such Unit holder
owns at least the minimum number of Units of Trust set forth
in Part II of the Trust Agreement, such notice shall further
indicate that such Unit holder may elect to receive an in-
kind distribution of their pro rata share of the Securities,
to the extent of whole shares. The Trustee will honor duly
executed requests for in-kind distributions received
(accompanied by the electing Unit holder's Certificate, if
issued) by the close of business ten business days prior to
the Mandatory Termination Date. Unit holders who do not
effectively request an in-kind distribution shall receive
their distribution upon termination in cash. Unit holders
shall receive their distribution upon termination in cash."
R. Section 6.01 shall be amended to add the following as

sale of any securities currently distributed, underwritten
or issued by any Affiliated Entity, and receive, or pay to
the Affiliated Entity, as applicable, compensation for such
services at standard commission rates, markups or
concessions."
S. Section 3.02 shall be amended to read in its entirety
as follows:
"Section 3.02 Income Account. The Trustee shall collect
the dividends and other cash distributions on the Securities
in each Trust which would be treated as dividend (other than
capital gain dividends) or interest income under the
Internal Revenue Code as such become payable (including all
monies which would be so treated representing penalties for
the failure to make timely payments on the Securities, or as
liquidated damages for default or breach of any condition or
term of the Securities or of the underlying instrument
relating to any Securities and other income attributable to
a Failed Contract Obligation for which no Replacement
Security has been obtained pursuant to Section 3.12 hereof)
and credit such income to a separate account for each Trust
to be known as the "Income Account."
Any non-cash distributions received by a Trust shall be sold
to the extent they would be treated as dividend or interest
income under the Internal Revenue Code and the proceeds shall be
credited to the Income Account. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, non-cash distributions received by a Trust
(other than a non-taxable distribution of the shares of the
distributing corporation which shall be retained by a Trust)
shall be dealt with in the manner described in Section 3.11,
herein, and shall be retained or disposed of by such Trust
according to those provisions and the proceeds thereof shall be
credited to the Capital (Principal) Account. Neither the Trustee
nor the Depositor shall be liable or responsible in any way for
depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any such sale.
All other distributions received by a Trust shall be
credited to the Capital (Principal) Account."
T. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, the first paragraph of
Section 3.05.(II)(a) shall be amended to provide as follows:
"On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Unit holder of record at the close of business on
the Record Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date
an amount per Unit equal to such Unit holder's Income
Distribution (as defined below), plus such Unit holder's pro
rata share of the balance of the Capital Account (except for
monies on deposit therein required to purchase Contract
Obligations and monies constituting proceeds of pro-rata
sales of Trust assets to effect redemptions, which proceeds
shall be retained for payment of redemptions) computed as of
the close of business on such Record Date after deduction of
any amounts provided in Subsection I, provided, however,
that the Trustee shall not be required to make a
distribution from the Capital Account unless the balance
available for distribution is equal to or greater than $1.00
per 100 Units, except that, notwithstanding any provision of
the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust or this Trust
Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall on any
Distribution Date distribute the cash available for
distribution in the Income and Capital Accounts within the
meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(b)(5) if the
aggregate amount of such cash available for distribution is
equal to or greater than .1% of the net asset value of the
Trust on the related Record Date. This provision is
intended to comply with Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-
5(c)(2)(v)(C) and shall be interpreted consistent therewith
and with any successor regulations."
U. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust, the ninth paragraph of Section
5.02 of the Standard Terms shall be amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"For the purpose of funding the Principal Account
for payment of the Redemption Value with respect to
each tender of a Unit or Units for redemption, the
Depositor may direct the trustee to sell and, in the
absence of contrary direction from the Depositor, the
Trustee may sell, the pro rata amount of each Security
allocable to the tendered Units as soon as reasonably
practicable following such tender. In determining such
pro rata amount, the Trustee may apply the calendar
month aggregation method provided in Treas. Reg.
Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(G)(3)(i). If the proceeds of
such pro rata sales are insufficient, the Trustee may
(i) sell additional Securities as directed by the
Sponsor or, in the absence of direction, sell
Securities in amounts which are reasonably pro rata as
determined by the Trustee or (ii) advance funds
required to pay the Redemption Value, provided that the
Trustee shall have no obligation to advance funds if
the unreimbursed amount advanced to the Trust for this
purpose then equals at least $15,000. When directed by
the Depositor or determined by the Trustee, but in all
events as promptly as reasonably practicable whenever
the unreimbursed amount advanced by the Trustee equals
or exceeds $15,000, the Trustee shall sell additional
Securities in the manner provided in clause (i) of the
preceding sentence and shall reimburse itself the
amount of the advance, provided that the Trustee's
right to reimbursement shall not be affected by any
delay in sale or reimbursement. The Trustee's right
to reimbursement shall be secured by a lien on the
Trust prior to the interest of the Unit holders. The
net proceeds of any sale of Securities representing
income shall be credited to the Income Account and then
disbursed therefrom for payment of expenses and
payments to Unit holders as otherwise provided in this
Indenture. The balance of such net proceeds shall be
credited to the Principal Account. The Depositor and
the Trustee shall use their reasonable efforts to
conduct pro rata sales of Securities qualifying for
exception from tax reporting as described in Treas.
Reg. Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(G) and, during the final
calendar year of the trust, qualifying for the
exception from tax reporting described in Treas. Reg.
Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(F). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall
be liable to any person in the event sales proceeds for
any calendar year exceed the general de minimis test of
Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(D)(1) (whether or
not due to a failure to sell Securities pro rata) or
otherwise require reporting under Treas. Reg. Section
1.671-5."
V. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust, Section 6.02 of the Standard Terms
is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"Section 6.02. Books, Records and Reports. (a)
General. The Trustee shall keep proper books of record
and account of all the transactions of each Trust under
this Indenture at its corporate trust office, including
a record of the name and address of, and the Units
issued by each Trust and held by, every Unit holder,
and such books and records of each Trust shall be open
to inspection by any Unit holder of such Trust at all
reasonable times during the usual business hours. The
Trustee shall make such annual or other reports as may
from time to time be required under any applicable
state or federal statute or rule or regulations
thereunder.
(b) Audit of trust accounts. Unless the
Depositor determines that such an audit is not
required, the accounts of the Trust shall be audited
not less than annually by independent public
accountants designated from time to time by the
Depositor and the Trustee and the reports of such
accountants shall be furnished upon request to Unit
holders. So long as the Depositor is making a
secondary market for Units, the Depositor shall bear
the cost of such annual audits to the extent such cost
exceeds $.50 per 100 Units.
(c) Costs of updating of registration statement.
If provided for in the Prospectus for a Trust, the
Trustee shall pay, or reimburse to the Depositor, the
expenses related to the updating of the Trust's
registration statement, to the extent of legal fees,
typesetting fees, electronic filing expenses and
regulatory filing fees. Such expenses shall be paid
from the Income Account, or to the extent funds are not
available in such Account, from the Capital Account,
against an invoice or invoices therefor presented to
the Trustee by the Depositor. By presenting such
invoice or invoices, the Depositor shall be deemed to
certify, upon which certification the Trustee is
authorized conclusively to rely, that the amounts
claimed therein are properly payable pursuant to this
paragraph. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee,
from time to time as requested, an estimate of the
amount of such expenses, which the Trustee shall use
for the purpose of estimating the accrual of Trust
expenses. The amount paid by the Trust pursuant to
this paragraph in each year shall be separately
identified in the annual statement provided to Unit
holders. The Depositor shall assure that the
Prospectus for the Trust contains such disclosure as
shall be necessary to permit payment by the Trust of
the expenses contemplated by this paragraph under
applicable laws and regulations. The provisions of
this paragraph shall not limit the authority of the
Trustee to pay, or reimburse to the Depositor or
others, such other or additional expenses as may be
determined to be payable from the Trust as provided in
this Section 6.02.
(d) Tax reporting for grantor trusts. With
respect to any Trust which is a widely held fixed
investment trust as defined in Treas. Reg. Section
1.671-5(b)(22), the Depositor and the Trustee agree
that the Trust meets the requirements of Treas. Reg.
Section 1.671-5(f)(1)(i), and the Trustee is
authorized:
(i) to report in accordance with any of the safe
harbor methods described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-
5(f);
(ii) to report sales proceeds, whenever permitted,
as provided in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-
5(f)(1)(iv)(B);
(iii) to report proceeds of sales and dispositions
described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-
5(c)(2)(iv)(D)(4)(ii) as provided in Treas. Reg.
Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(D)(4)(i); and
(iv) to use the measuring date, as defined in
Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(D)(1), in lieu of
the start-up date, wherever permitted.
For purposes of Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-
5(f)(1)(iv)(A)(2), the date of the last deposit under
2.01(b) prior to the expiration of the initial offering
period, as certified to the Trustee by the Depositor,
shall be considered the 'start-up date' of the Trust."
W. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard
Terms and Conditions of the Trust, the eighth paragraph of
Section 5.02 of the Standard Terms shall be amended to read in
its entirety as follows:
"Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 5.02, the Trustee (or the FTPS Unit Servicing
Agent in the case of FTPS Units) is hereby irrevocably
authorized in its discretion, in the event that the
Depositor does not purchase any Units tendered to the
Trustee (or the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent in the case
of FTPS Units) for redemption, or in the event that a
Unit is being tendered by the Depositor for redemption,
in lieu of redeeming Units, to sell Units in the over-
the-counter market through any broker-dealer of its
choice for the account of the tendering Unit holder at
prices which will return to the Unit holder an amount
in cash, net after deducting brokerage commissions,
transfer taxes and other charges, equal to or in excess
of the Redemption Value which such Unit holder would
otherwise be entitled to receive on redemption pursuant
to this Section 5.02. The Trustee (or the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent in the case of FTPS Units) shall pay to
the Unit holder the net proceeds of any such sale on
the day on which such Unit holder would otherwise be
entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Value
hereunder."
X. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, Section 6.01(l) shall be
replaced in its entirety with the following:
"The Trust may include (I) a letter or letters of
credit meeting the requirements of Section 2.05 for the
purchase of Securities or Contract Obligations issued
by the Trustee in its individual capacity for the
account of the Depositor or (II) Securities issued by
the Trustee, its parent, or affiliates, and the Trustee
may otherwise deal with the Depositor and the Trust
with the same rights and powers as if it were not the
Trustee hereunder; and"
Y. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, Section 3.07 shall be
amended to add the following immediately after Section 3.07(i):
"(j) that as a result of the ownership of the
Security, the Trust or its Unit holders would be a
direct or indirect shareholder of a passive foreign
investment company as defined in section 1297(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code."
Z. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, paragraph (e) of Section
6.05 shall be amended by adding the following sentence at the end
thereof:
"The Trustee's and each successor Trustee's right to
indemnification shall survive its resignation or
removal."
AA. All references to The Bank of New York in the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be replaced with "The Bank of
New York Mellon."
BB. Any notice, demand, direction or instruction to be
given to either the Depositor, Portfolio Supervisor or Evaluator
shall be in writing and shall be duly given if mailed or
delivered to such party at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000,
