forth certain provisions in full and incorporates other
provisions by reference to the document entitled "Standard Terms
and Conditions of Trust for FT 785 and certain subsequent Series,
Effective December 9, 2003" (herein called the "Standard Terms

Sections of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust.
WITNESSETH THAT:
In consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Evaluator and the Portfolio Supervisor agree as follows:
PART I
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRUST
Subject to the provisions of Part II and Part III hereof,
all the provisions contained in the Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety
and shall be deemed to be a part of this instrument as fully and
to the same extent as though said provisions had been set forth
in full in this instrument.
PART II

on the Initial Date of Deposit and the initial fractional
undivided interest in and ownership of the Trust represented by
each Unit thereof are set forth in the Prospectus in the section
"Summary of Essential Information."
Documents representing this number of Units for the Trust
are being delivered by the Trustee to the Depositor pursuant to
Section 2.03 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust.
C. The Record Date shall be the 10th day of each month. The

Section 4.03 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall
be an annual fee in the amount of $.0080 per Unit.
G. The Trustee's Compensation Rate pursuant to Section 6.04
of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be an annual
fee in the amount of $.0096 per Unit, 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 this Indenture, 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 the Trustee
provides services during less than the whole of such year).
However, in no event, except as may otherwise be provided in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, shall the Trustee receive
compensation in any one year from any Trust of less than $2,000
for such annual compensation. The Bank of New York Mellon, or
any of its affiliates, may perform services in any capacity for
any exchange traded fund, investment company, investment trust or
other entity whose shares are held as an asset of the Trust, and
The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, shall be entitled to
receive the foregoing compensation, without reduction,
notwithstanding that The Bank of New York Mellon or an affiliate
is receiving compensation for services to such exchange traded
fund, investment company, investment trust or other entity.
Without limiting the scope of the expenses for which the Trustee
is entitled to reimbursement in accordance with Section 6.04 of
the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, the amounts
receivable by the Trustee from the Trust shall include amounts
charged by the Trustee or an affiliate in connection with custody
of securities at any branch or affiliate of the Trustee located
outside the United States.
H. The Initial Date of Deposit for the Trust is February 9,
2009.
I. There is no minimum amount of Securities to be sold by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Indenture for the
redemption of Units.
J. The minimum number of Units a Unit holder must redeem in
order to be eligible for an in-kind distribution of Securities
pursuant to Section 5.02 shall be 2,500 Units of the Trust.
However, the ability to request an in-kind distribution of
Securities pursuant to Section 5.02 will terminate at any time
that the number of outstanding Units has been reduced to 10% or
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
distribution of Securities pursuant to Section 8.02.
PART III
A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, Section 1.01 (13) shall
be amended to delete the second sentence of such section and
replace it with the following:
"The Percentage Ratio with respect to each Security in a
Trust is that percentage derived by dividing the number of
shares of such Security included in the initial deposit made
pursuant to Section 2.01(a) by the total number of shares of
all Securities included in such deposit."
B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, Section 2.01(e) shall be
amended to read as follows:
"The Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized to effect
registration or transfer of the Securities in fully
registered form to the name of the Trustee or to the name of
its nominee or to hold the Securities in a clearing agency
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in a
book entry system operated by the Federal Reserve Board,
with an Eligible Foreign Custodian or in an Eligible
Securities Depository."
C. Section 2.01 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be amended to include the following section at the
end of Section 2.01:
"(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
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
of the Evaluation Time on the Business Day preceding the
Trade Date divided by the number of Units outstanding as of
the Evaluation Time on the Business Day preceding the Trade
Date, times the number of additional Units to be created.
(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.
(B) The Trustee shall exercise reasonable care,
prudence and diligence such as a person having
responsibility for the safekeeping of Trust assets would
exercise, and shall be liable to the Trust for any loss
occurring as a result of its failure to do so.
(C) The Trustee shall perform all duties assigned to
the Foreign 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
written records regarding the basis for the choice or
continued use of a particular Eligible Foreign Custodian
pursuant to this subparagraph for a period of not less
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 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 the 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.
G. Section 6.01 shall be amended to add the following as
paragraph (n):
"(n) The Trustee may act, and may engage any corporation,
partnership or other entity affiliated with The Bank of New
York Mellon (an "Affiliated Entity") to act, as broker or
dealer to execute transactions, including the purchase or
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."
H. 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 so
treated 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."
I. 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. 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."
J. 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."
K. 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."
L. 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"
M. 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."
N. Notwithstanding anything to 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."
O. 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."
P. 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,
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other address as shall be
