NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Agreements and Covenants of Trustee . The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:
(a) hold the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in a segregated trust account (“Trust Account”) established by the Trustee;
(b) manage, supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;
(c) in a timely manner, upon the instruction of the Company, to invest and reinvest the Property in “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), having a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open ended investment company registered under the 1940 Act that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act. As used herein, “government security” means any Treasury Xxxx issued by the United States, having a maturity of one hundred and eighty days or less;
(d) collect and receive, when due, all principal and income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the “Property,” as such term is used herein;
(e) notify the Company and Banc of America of all communications received by it with respect to any Property requiring action by the Company;
(f) supply any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company in connection with the Company’s preparation of the tax returns for the Trust Account or the Company;
(g) participate in any plan or proceeding for protecting or enforcing any right or interest arising from the Property if, as and when instructed by the Company and/or Banc of America to do so;
(h) render to the Company and to Banc of America and to such other persons as the Company may instruct, monthly written statements of the activities of and amounts in the Trust Account reflecting all receipts and disbursements of the Trust Account; and
(i) commence liquidation of the Trust Account upon receipt of and in accordance with the terms of (A) the Officers’ Certificate described in Section 3(e) signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and of a letter in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A and signed on behalf of the company by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer or (B) the Officers’ Certificate described in Section 2(c) signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and a letter in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit B, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (each of the letters referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 1(i) shall be referred to herein as a “Termination Letter”), and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account only as directed in the applicable Termination Letter and in the case of clause (B) of this Section 1(i) any other documents referred to therein as part of the Company’s plan of dissolution and liquidation.
