(i) | A form of the relevant Derivative Agreement(s) is attached hereto as Schedule B. |
(ii) | The Depositor shall cause the Series 9 of Trust to enter into each Derivative Transaction set forth under “Trust Portfolio—Portfolio Composition” in the Prospectus for Series 9 of Trust and shall endorse and deliver each related Derivative Agreement concurrently with the execution of this Series MSA Supplement and cause a copy of each such Derivative Agreement to be annexed under Schedule B |

In cases where the Derivative Transactions were not traded on the valuation date or where the Evaluator determines that market quotations are unavailable or inappropriate (e.g. due to infrequent transactions, thin trading or otherwise), the Evaluator shall determine the Evaluation of the Derivatives Transactions based on the last asked price (if the Series 9 of Trust is “short” the relevant Derivative Transaction) or bid price (if the Series 9 of Trust is “long” the relevant derivative Transaction) provided by dealers active in market-making of securities similar to the Derivatives Transactions in the over-the-counter market, if available and appropriate. If market quotes, ask prices and bid prices are unavailable or inappropriate, the Evaluator shall determine the Evaluation based on the Evaluator’s good faith determination of the fair value of the Derivatives Transactions at its reasonable discretion. To determine the fair value of the Derivatives Transactions, where and if available, the Evaluator may use values generated using third party valuation services. The Evaluator may also generate its own model-based Evaluations of the Derivatives Transactions, including using the Black-Scholes model for option valuation and using current market quotations and ask/bid prices for comparable Derivatives Transactions that are more actively traded. |
(b) During the initial offering period set forth in the Prospectus, the Evaluation of Derivative Transactions shall be made (i) when the Series 9 of Trust is “long” the relevant Derivative Transactions, on the basis of the ask side of the market and (ii) when the Series 9 of Trust is “short” the relevant Derivative Transactions, on the basis of the bid side of the market. Upon expiration of
- 3 - |
the initial offering period set forth in the Prospectus, the Evaluation of Derivative Transactions shall be made (i) when the Series 9 of Trust is “long” the relevant Derivative Transactions, on the basis of the bid side of the market and (ii) when the Series 9 of Trust is “short” the relevant Derivative Transactions, on the basis of the ask side of the market.
22. For the Series 9 of Trust, The following provisions shall modify and supplement the Master Services Agreement:
(i) | Section 3.20(a) is modified to add the following sentence prior to the last sentence of such paragraph: |
With the prior consent of the Custodian, the Depositor is authorized to engage a broker qualified to act as a custodian for assets of the Series pursuant to Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act to maintain custody of, and act as clearing broker with respect to transactions involving, options and other instruments cleared through the Options Clearing Corporation of which the Custodian is unable to maintain custody. The clearing broker shall be identified in the Derivative Agreement attached to the Series MSA Supplement.
(ii) | Section 3.18 is modified to add the following at the end thereof: |
The Depositor is authorized to take such actions and make such elections as the Depositor determines to be desirable to maintain the qualification of the Series of Trust as a regulated investment company and to reduce taxes paid by the Series of Trust notwithstanding that such actions or elections may increase the taxable income or gain reportable by Unitholders or may adversely affect the investment performance of the Series of Trust. The Depositor shall not be liable to any Unitholder or other Person for any such action taken or election made, or the failure to take any such action or make any such election, determined by the Depositor in good faith.
(iii) | Section 3.06 (a) is modified to add the following sentences at the end thereof: |
“If the cash balances of the Series Income Account and Series Capital Account are insufficient to pay the expenses of the Series of Trust, the Depositor shall sell or liquidate Securities or Derivative Transactions in an amount sufficient for the payment of such expenses, provided, however, that the Depositor is authorized, but has no obligation, to assume any of the expenses otherwise payable by the Series of Trust and in such event shall pay the expense directly or provide funds to the Custodian for such payment. The Depositor shall provide the Custodian written notice of the expenses to be assumed and their amount, and such assumption shall be reflected in the Trust Series Evaluation commencing with the first Trust Series Evaluation following the Custodian’s receipt of such notice. With respect to the foregoing sentence and solely for the Series 9 of Trust, the Depositor hereby notifies the Custodian that it assumes all expenses of the Series 9 of Trust in excess of (i) the aggregate fees of the Custodian, Transfer Agent and Administrator (other than the excess of the $10,000 minimum annual fee over the annual compensation accrued at the per Unit rate set forth in the Prospectus which excess the Depositor assumes) and (ii) $2.20 per 100 Units of other administrative expenses.”
(iv) | The first sentence of Section 3.06 (b)(i) is modified to read in its entirety as follows: |
“On each Distribution Date, the Transfer Agent shall distribute to each Unitholder of record at the close of business on the preceding Record Date an amount per Unit equal to such Unitholder’s Income Distribution (as defined below in paragraph (c) of this Section 3.06), plus such Unitholder’s pro rata share of such part, or all, of the balance of the Series Capital Account (computed as provided below in paragraph (d) of this Section 3.06) as the Depositor shall determine, taking into account, among other things, cash needed for payment of future trust expenses, except that, notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, (x) with respect to any Series of Trust which is a widely held fixed investment trust as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(b)(22), the Transfer Agent shall, on
- 4 - |
any Distribution Date, distribute the cash available for distribution in the Series Income and Series 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 such Series of Trust on the related Record Date and (y) with respect to any Series of Trust which has elected to qualify as a “regulated investment company,” the Transfer Agent shall make such distributions from the Series Income and Series Capital Accounts as may be necessary, as determined and communicated to the Transfer Agent by that Series of Trust’s independent accountants engaged by the Depositor pursuant to Section 7.03, in order to avoid the imposition of any income or excise taxes on undistributed income in that Series of Trust.”
(v) | Section 3.14 is modified to add the following sentence as the last sentence of the first paragraph thereof: |
“Each of the Evaluator, Supervisor or Depositor may waive any portion of the compensation otherwise payable to it by written notice to the Custodian. Any such waiver shall be irrevocable and shall be reflected in the Trust Series Evaluation commencing with the first Trust Series Evaluation following the Custodian’s receipt of such notice.”
This Series MSA Supplement shall be deemed effective when executed and delivered by the Trust, the Depositor, the Custodian, the Transfer Agent, the Administrator, the Evaluator and the Supervisor. Facsimile or electronic signatures (including signatures in Portable Document Format (PDF)) to this Series MSA Supplement shall be acceptable and binding, and this Series MSA Supplement may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic means (including by electronic mail or a designated document storage website).
