not specifically provided for in this Section.
In the event that any filing referred to in this Section 4 is
required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. or other exchange, NASD, or state securities or "Blue Sky" laws
to be executed on behalf of the Trust by a trustee, the Delaware Trustee, in its

Commission, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or other exchange, NASD, or state
securities or "Blue Sky" laws.
5. This Trust Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
6. The number of trustees of the Trust initially shall be one and
thereafter the number of trustees of the Trust shall be such number as shall be
fixed from time to time by a written instrument signed by the Depositor which
may increase or decrease the number of trustees of the Trust; provided, however,
that to the extent required by the Statutory Trust Act, one trustee of the Trust
shall either be a natural person who is a resident of the State of Delaware or,
if not a natural person, an entity which has its principal place of business in
the State of Delaware. Subject to the foregoing, the Depositor is entitled to
appoint or remove without cause any trustee of the Trust at any time. Any
trustee of the Trust may resign upon thirty days' prior notice to the Depositor.

connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any
