Account”. All moneys received by the Trustees in respect of the
Contract, the Treasury Securities, any other U.S. Government Securities
delivered to the Trust and any Temporary Investments held pursuant to

from amounts paid by Seller under the Fund Expense Agreement for the payment of

Investments shall be selected from time to time by the Trustees or pursuant to
standing instructions from the Trustees to the Administrator, and the

Section
5.1
Form of
Certificate.
(a) Each
Certificate evidencing Securities shall be executed manually or in facsimile by
the Managing Trustee and countersigned manually by the Paying Agent in
substantially the form of Exhibit A with
the blanks appropriately filled in, shall be dated the date of countersignature
and delivery by the Paying Agent and shall represent a fractional undivided
interest in the Trust, the numerator of which fraction shall be the number of
Securities set forth on the face of such Certificate and the denominator of
which shall be the total number of Securities outstanding at that
time. All Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be
numbered serially.
14
(b) The
Certificates delivered to the Purchasers at the First Time of Delivery and the
Second Time of Delivery (if any) will be issued in the form of a global
Certificate or Certificates representing the Securities issued to the
Purchasers, to be delivered to the Depositary, or its custodian, by or on behalf
of the Trust. Such Certificate or Certificates shall initially be
registered on the books and records of the Trust in the name of
Cede & Co., the nominee of the Depositary, and no beneficial owner
of such Securities will receive a definitive Certificate representing such
beneficial owner’s interest in such Securities, except as provided in the next
paragraph. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates
have been issued pursuant to the next paragraph, the Trust shall be entitled to
deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Agreement as the Holder and
the sole holder of the Certificates and shall have no obligation to the
beneficial owners thereof, and none of the Trust, the Trustees, or any agent of
the Trust or the Trustees shall have any liability with respect to or
responsibility for the records of the Depositary.
(c) If the
Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities depository, or if
requested by any Holder following an Event of Default, definitive Certificates
shall be prepared by the Trustees. Upon surrender of the global
Certificate or Certificates accompanied by registration instructions, the
Trustees shall cause definitive Certificates to be delivered to the beneficial
owners in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary. Neither
the Trustees nor the Trust shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions.
(d) Pending
the preparation of definitive Certificates, the Managing Trustee may execute and
the Paying Agent shall countersign and deliver temporary Certificates (printed,
lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form
satisfactory to the Paying Agent). Temporary Certificates shall be
issuable as registered Certificates substantially in the form of the definitive
Certificates but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Certificates, all as may be determined by the Trustees
with the concurrence of the Paying Agent. Every temporary Certificate
shall be executed by the Managing Trustee and be countersigned manually by the
Paying Agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and
with like effect, as the definitive Certificates. Without
unreasonable delay, the Managing Trustee shall execute and shall furnish
definitive Certificates to the Paying Agent and thereupon temporary Certificates
may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency
of the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent shall countersign and deliver in
exchange for such temporary Certificates definitive Certificates for a like
aggregate number of Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Certificates shall be entitled to the same benefits hereunder as definitive
Certificates.
Section
5.2
Transfer of Securities;
Issuance, Transfer and Interchange of Certificates.
(a) Securities
may be transferred by the Holder thereof by presentation and surrender of
properly endorsed Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent, accompanied by
such documents executed by the Holder or his authorized attorney as the Paying
Agent deems necessary to evidence the authority of the Person making the
transfer. Certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement are
interchangeable for one or more other Certificates for an equal aggregate number
of Securities and all Certificates issued shall be issued in denominations of
one Security or any multiple thereof. The Paying Agent may deem and
treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the books
of the Paying Agent as the owner of such Security for all purposes hereunder and
the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary. The transfer books maintained by the Paying Agent for the
purposes of this Section 5.2 shall include the name and address of the
record owners of the Securities and shall be closed in connection with the
termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 8.3.
15
(b) A sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any such transfer shall be paid to the Paying Agent by the
Holder. A Holder may be required to pay a fee for each new
Certificate to be issued pursuant to the preceding paragraph in such amount as
may be specified by the Paying Agent and approved by the Trustees.
(c) All
Certificates canceled pursuant to this Agreement may be voided by the Paying
Agent in accordance with the usual practice of the Paying Agent or in accordance
with the instructions of the Trustees; provided, however, that the Paying Agent
shall not be required to destroy canceled Certificates.
(d) The
Paying Agent may adopt other reasonable rules and regulations for the
registration, transfer and tender of Securities as it may, in its discretion,
deem necessary.
(e) The
Securities will bear a legend to the following effect, unless the Trust
determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law:
“THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD,
PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (A) (1) TO A PERSON WHO THE

ACT AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES
OF THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS.”
16
Section
5.3
Replacement of
Certificates. In case any Certificate shall become mutilated
or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Paying Agent shall execute and deliver a
new Certificate in exchange and substitution therefor upon the Holder’s
furnishing the Paying Agent with proper identification and satisfactory
indemnity of the Seller, the Trust, the Trustees and the Paying Agent, complying
with such other reasonable regulations and conditions as the Seller, the Trust,
the Trustees and the Paying Agent may prescribe and paying such expenses and
charges, including any bonding fee, as the Paying Agent may incur or reasonably
impose; provided, that if the
Trust has terminated or is in the process of terminating, the Paying Agent, in
lieu of issuing such new Certificate, may, upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, make the distributions set forth in
Section 8.3(c). Any mutilated Certificate shall be duly
surrendered and canceled before any duplicate Certificate shall be issued in
exchange and substitution therefor. Upon issuance of any duplicate
Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.3, the original Certificate claimed
to have been lost, stolen or destroyed shall become null and void and of no
effect, and any bona fide purchaser thereof shall have only such rights as are
afforded under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the
State of New York to a Holder presenting a Certificate for transfer in the case
of an overissue.

supplement hereto. Each individual Trustee shall be a United States
person (as defined in Section 7701 of the Code) and at least 21 years of

under New York law. The Trustees shall have fiduciary responsibility
for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the Trust and shall not

or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating
in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to

written declaration or vote of the Holders of more than 66 2/3% of the
outstanding Securities, notice of which vote shall be given to the remaining
Trustees and the Administrator. The resignation, removal or failure
to reelect any Trustee shall not cause the termination of the
Trust.

Act, upon the request of a Holder, the Trust will promptly furnish or cause to
be furnished such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act to such Holder, or to a prospective purchaser of any
such Security designated by any such Holder, to the extent required to permit
compliance by such Holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act (or any
successor provision thereto) in connection with the resale of any such
Security.
Section
8.3
Termination.
(a) This
Agreement and the Trust created hereby shall terminate upon the earliest of
(i) the date 90 days after the execution of this Agreement if (x) the
Securities have not theretofore been issued to the Purchasers under the Purchase
Agreement or (y) the net worth of the Trust is not at least $100.00 at such
time, (ii) the date of the repayment, sale or other disposition, as the
case may be, of all of the Contract, the Treasury Securities and any other
securities held hereunder, (iii) the date 10 Business Days after the
Exchange Date (or, if the Contract shall be accelerated pursuant to
Article VII thereof or if Section 6.2 thereof results in the
acceleration of all the obligations of Seller, 10 Business Days after the date
on which the Trust shall receive the Shares or other consideration then required
to be delivered by Seller, or the proceeds of any sale of collateral pursuant to
Section 7.3 of the Collateral Agreement), and (iv) the date which is
21 years less 91 days after the death of the last survivor of all of the
descendants of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx living on the date
hereof. The Trust is irrevocable, the Sponsor has no right to
withdraw any assets constituting a portion of the Trust Estate, and the
dissolution of the Sponsor shall not operate to terminate the
Trust. The death or incapacity of any Holder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement, nor entitle his legal representatives or heirs to
claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a
partition or winding up of the Trust, and shall not otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto. If the Trust
terminates before all the distributions on the Securities have been paid, the
Trust’s Administrator will sell any Treasury Securities then held in the Trust
and distribute the proceeds pro rata to the Holders of the Securities, together
with the Shares or cash or other property delivered under the
Contract.
21
(b)
Written
notice of any termination shall be sent to Holders specifying the record date
for any distribution to Holders and the time of termination as determined by the
Trustees, upon which the books maintained by the Paying Agent pursuant to
Section 5.2 shall be closed.
(c)
For
purposes of termination under Sections 8.3(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) within
five Business Days after such termination, the Trustees shall, subject to any
applicable provisions of law, effect or cause the Custodian to effect the sale
of any remaining property of the Trust, and the Paying Agent shall distribute
pro rata as soon as practicable thereafter to each Holder, upon surrender for
cancellation of its Certificates, its interest in the Trust
Estate. Together with the distribution to the Holders, the Trustees
shall furnish the Holders with a final statement as of the date of the
distribution of the amount distributable with respect to each
Security.
Section
8.4
No Assumption of
Liability. By executing this Agreement, none of the Trustees
assumes any personal liability under this Agreement except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement.
Section
8.5
Amendment and
Waiver.
(a)
This
Agreement, and any of the agreements referred to in Section 2.2(a), may be
amended from time to time by the Trustees for any purpose prior to the issuance
and sale to the Purchasers of the Securities and thereafter without the consent
of any of the Holders (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement
any provision contained herein or therein which may be defective or inconsistent
with any other provision contained herein or therein; (ii) to change any
provision hereof or thereof as may be required by applicable law or the
Commission or any successor governmental agency exercising similar authority; or
(iii) to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions
arising hereunder or thereunder as shall not materially adversely affect the
interests of the Holders (as determined in good faith by the Trustees, who may
rely on an opinion of counsel).
(b)
This
Agreement, and any of the agreements referred to in Section 2.2(a), may
also be amended from time to time by the Trustees (or the performance of any of
the provisions of this Agreement or any of such other agreements may be waived)
with the consent by the required vote of the Holders in accordance with
Section 8.1; provided that this Agreement may not be amended,
(i) without the consent by vote of the Holders of all Securities then
outstanding, to increase the number of Securities issuable under this Agreement
above the number of Securities specified in Section 2.2(c) or such lesser
number as may be outstanding at any time during the term of this Agreement,
(ii) to reduce the interest in the Trust represented by any Security
without the consent of the Holder of such Security, (iii) if such amendment
is prohibited by the Investment Company Act or other applicable law,
(iv) without the consent by vote of the Holders of all Securities then
outstanding, if such amendment would effect a change in the voting requirements
set forth in Section 8.1 or this Section 8.5, or (v) without the
consent by vote of the Holders of the lesser of (x) 67% or more of the
Securities represented at a special meeting of Holders, if more than 50% of the
Securities outstanding are represented at such meeting, and (y) more than
50% of the Securities outstanding, if such amendment would effect a change in
Section 2.1 or 2.6.
22
(c)
Promptly
after the execution of any amendment, the Trustees shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Holder.
(d)
Notwithstanding
subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 8.4, no amendment of this
Agreement or the Agreements referred to in Section 2.2(a) shall permit the
Trust, the Trustees, the Administrator, the Paying Agent or the Custodian to
take any action or direct or permit any Person to take any action that
(i) would vary the investment of the Holders within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 301.7701-4(c), or (ii) would or could cause the
Trust, or direct or permit any action to be taken that would or could cause the
Trust, not to be a domestic “grantor trust” under the Code.
Section
8.6
Accountants.
(a)
The
Trustees shall, in accordance with Section 30 of the Investment Company Act,
file annually with the Commission such information, documents and reports as
investment companies having securities registered on a national securities
exchange are required to file annually pursuant to Section 13(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
issued thereunder. The Trustees shall transmit to the Holders, at
least quarterly and semi-annually, as applicable, the reports required by
Section 30(d) of the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including, without limitation, a balance sheet accompanied by a
statement of the aggregate value of investments on the date of such balance
sheet, a list showing the amounts and values of such investments owned on the
date of such balance sheet, and a statement of income for the period covered by
the report. Financial statements contained in such annual reports
shall be accompanied by a certificate of independent public accountants based
upon an audit not less in scope or procedures than that which independent public
accountants would ordinarily make for the purpose of presenting comprehensive
and dependable financial statements and shall contain such information as the
Commission may prescribe. Each such report shall state that such
independent public accountants have verified investments owned, either by actual
examination or by receipt of a certificate from the Custodian.
(b)
The
independent public accountants referred to in subsection (a) above shall be
selected at a meeting held within thirty days before or after the beginning of
the fiscal year by the vote, cast in person, of a majority of the Trustees who
are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act and such
selection shall be submitted for ratification at the first meeting of Holders to
be held as set forth in Section 8.1, and thereafter as required by the
Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The
employment of any independent public accountant for the Trust shall be
conditioned upon the right of the Holders by a vote of the lesser of
(i) 67% or more of the Securities present at a special meeting of Holders,
if Holders of more than 50% of Securities outstanding are present or represented
by proxy at such meeting or (ii) more than 50% of the Securities
outstanding to terminate such employment at any time without
penalty.
(c)
The
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.6 are in addition to any applicable
requirements of the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder.
23
Section
8.7 Nature of Holder’s
Interest. Each Holder holds at any given time a beneficial
interest in the Trust Estate, but does not have any right to take title or
possession of any portion of the Trust Estate. Each Holder expressly
waives any right he may have under any rule of law, or the provisions of any
statute, or otherwise, to require the Trustees at any time to account, in any
manner other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, for the Shares, the
Contract, the Treasury Securities or other assets or monies from time to time
received, held and applied by the Trustees hereunder. No Holder shall
have any right except as provided herein to control or determine the operation
and management of the Trust or the obligations of the parties
hereto. Nothing set forth herein or in the Certificates shall be
construed to constitute the Holders from time to time as partners or members of
an association.
Section
8.8
Governing Law;
Severability. This Agreement is executed and delivered in the
State of New York, and all laws or rules of construction of the State of New
York shall govern the rights of the parties hereto and the Holders and the
construction, validity and effect of the provisions hereof. To the
extent permitted by law, the unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or
provisions of this Agreement shall not render any other provision or provisions
contained in this Agreement unenforceable or invalid.

8.9
