("General Interests") pursuant to Sections 3.1(b) and 3.2(e)
of Article III of the Trust Agreement, and (ii) to maintain a

permit the Trust to sell its Interests in the various Series
in several states of the United States.
E. The parties hereto desire to make certain provisions
to permit the Managing Owner to meet its obligations to the

and C during the Initial Offering Period, and thereafter on
and after each Subsequent Closing Date with respect to the
continuous offering of Interests for such Series (the term

3. The Managing Owner and PSGI agree that PSGI shall
have the absolute right to determine the form of any
contribution(s) that may be required to meet its obligations

shall be valid unless in a writing signed by the party to be
charged and only to the extent herein set forth.
6. The obligations of the Managing Owner set forth
herein are not binding upon any of the Limited Owners of the

assets and property of the Managing Owner, and no resort shall
be had to the Limited Owners' personal property for the
satisfaction of any obligation or claim hereunder.
7. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable
