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 any provision to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust, the Trustee may deem and treat the FTPS Unit Servicing
Agent as the sole Unit holder of FTPS Units for all purposes of the Indenture
and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

I. Article III of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
amended to include the following section:
"Section 3.16. FTPS Unit Servicing Agent. FTP Services LLC acts as
record keeper, shareholder servicing agent and distribution agent for
Units which are purchased and sold through the Fund/SERV(R) trading system
or on a manual basis through FTP Services LLC. ("FTPS Units"). (a) The
FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall perform all of the duties with respect to
recordkeeping of FTPS Units and FTPS Unit holders, distributions,
redemption of FTPS Units and communications to and with FTPS Unit holders
listed below.
(1) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall keep proper books of record
and account of all of the transactions in the FTPS Units of each Trust
under this Indenture at its corporate office, including a record of the
name and address of, and the FTPS Units issued by each Trust and held by,
every FTPS Unit holder, and such books and records of each Trust shall be
made available to the Trustee and the Depositor promptly upon request and
open to inspection by any FTPS Unit holder of such Trust, with respect to
such FTPS Unit holders transactions, at all reasonable times during usual
business hours. Without limiting the foregoing, the FTPS Unit Servicing
Agent shall make any records or documents described in Reg. 270.31(a)-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 available promptly to the Trustee
and the Depositor upon request during usual business hours and will
preserve such records and documents for the periods prescribed in Reg.
270.31(a)-2 thereunder.
(2) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall distribute on or shortly
after the Distribution Dates specified in the Trust Agreement to each FTPS
Unit holder of record on its books on the Record Date for each such
Distribution Date specified in the Trust Agreement such FTPS Unit holder's
distribution as computed under the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust.
(3) In connection with such distributions set forth above, the FTPS
Unit Servicing Agent shall furnish a Distribution Statement to FTPS Unit
holders of record on its books. The content and frequency of such
Distribution Statements shall in no respect be less detailed or frequent
than that specified in Section 3.06 of the Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust.
(4) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall transmit to each FTPS Unit
holder of record any notice or other communication received from the
Trustee and shall be solely responsible for soliciting and transmitting to
the Trustee any notice required from FTPS Unit holders.
(5) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall be responsible for all tax
reporting required from time to time by applicable law and regulations
with respect to holders of FTPS Units, and reporting of cost basis in
respect of the FTPS Units of such holders (including, without limitation,
reporting required by Section 6045(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended).
(6) For purposes of permitting FTPS Unit holders to satisfy any
reporting requirements of applicable federal or state tax law, the FTPS
Unit Servicing Agent shall provide the Trustee with the name, address,
number of FTPS Units held by, and such other information as requested by
the Trustee, for every FTPS Unit holder so that the Trustee can transmit
to any FTPS Unit holder of record on the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent's books
any reports required to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.02 of the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust. The Trustee may rely on the
accuracy and completeness of the information (including any records or
documents made available) provided to it by the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent
and may accept such information without inquiry. Each of the Depositor and
the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent hereby agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify the Trustee and hold Trustee harmless from and against any and
all costs, expenses, penalties, damages, liabilities or claims including
attorneys' and accountants' fees sustained or incurred by or asserted
against the Trustee by reason of or as a result of any of the information
provided to the Trustee by the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent being inaccurate
or incomplete. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of each of
the Depositor and the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, and their successors and
assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Trust Agreement.
(7) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall distribute to redeeming FTPS
Unit holders of record on its books redemption proceeds it receives
pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust
from the Trustee as the sole record owner of FTPS Units on the Trustee's
books.
(8) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall distribute to FTPS Unit
holders of record on its books a pro rata portion of termination proceeds
it receives pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust from the Trustee as the sole record owner of FTPS Units on the
Trustee's books.
(9) In connection with such termination distributions set forth
above, the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall furnish a Final Distribution
Statement to FTPS Unit holders of record on its books. The content of such
Final Distribution Statements shall in no respect be less detailed than
that specified in Section 8.02 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust.
(10) As requested by the Depositor and/or the Trustee, the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent shall perform such other functions which, from time to
time, are agreed upon by the parties hereto and which may give rise to
additional fees.
(b) As compensation for providing the services set forth herein, of
a character described in Section 26(a)(2)(C) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, and to the extent that such services are in addition to, and do
not duplicate, the services to be performed by the Trustee, FTP Services
LLC shall receive, in arrears, against a statement or statements therefore
submitted to the Trustee monthly or annually an aggregate annual fee in
the per Unit amount set forth in Part II of the Trust Agreement for the
Trust, 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 the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, 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 FTP Services LLC
provides services described herein during less than the whole of such
year). Such fee may exceed the actual cost of providing such services for
the Trust, but at no time will the total amount received by FTP Services
LLC for rendering the services described in this Section 3.16 and First
Trust Advisors, L.P. for rendering the services described in Section 4.03
to unit investment trusts of which the Depositor is the sponsor in any
calendar year exceed the aggregate cost to FTP Services LLC and First
Trust Advisors L.P. of supplying such services in such year. Such
compensation may, from time to time, be adjusted by the Depositor provided
that the total adjustment upward does not, at the time of such adjustment,
exceed the percentage of the total increase, after the date hereof, in
consumer prices for services as measured by the United States Department
of Labor Consumer Price Index entitled "All Services Less Rent of Shelter"
or similar index, if such index should no longer be published. The consent
or concurrence of any Unit holder hereunder shall not be required for any
such adjustment or increase. Such compensation shall be paid by the
Trustee, upon receipt of an invoice therefore from FTP Services LLC, which
shall constitute the representation by FTP Services LLC that the
bookkeeping and administrative services for which compensation is claimed
are properly compensable hereunder and that the aggregate cost incurred by
FTP Services LLC of providing FTPS Unit shareholder servicing hereunder
was not less than the compensation claimed, upon which representation the
Trustee may conclusively rely. Such compensation shall be charged against
the Income and/or Capital Accounts, in accordance with Section 3.05 of the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust.
If the cash balance in the Income and Capital Accounts shall be
insufficient to provide for amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.16,
the Trustee shall have the power to sell (i) Securities from the current
list of Securities designated to be sold pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof,
or (ii) if no such Securities have been so designated, such Securities as
the Trustee may see fit to sell in its own discretion, and to apply the
proceeds of any such sale in payment of the amounts payable pursuant to
this Section 3.16.
All moneys payable to the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent pursuant to this
Section 3.16 shall be secured by a lien on the Trust prior to the interest
of Unit holders, but no such lien shall be prior to any lien in favor of
the Trustee under the provisions of Section 6.04 of the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust.
(c) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall be under no liability for
any action taken in good faith on any appraisal, paper, order, list,
demand, request, consent, affidavit, notice, opinion, direction,
evaluation, endorsement, assignment, resolution, draft or other document,
whether or not of the same kind, prima facie properly executed, or for the
disposition of moneys, pursuant to this Indenture, except by reason of its
own negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct, provided that
the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall not in any event be liable or
responsible for any evaluation made by the Evaluator.
(d) Except as the context otherwise requires, the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.05 herein
in the same manner as it would if it were the Evaluator.
(e) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall be indemnified ratably by
the affected Trust and held harmless against any loss or liability
accruing to it without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its
part, arising out of or in connection with the operations of the Trust,
including the costs and expenses (including counsel fees) of defending
itself against any claim of liability in the premises, including without
limitation any loss, liability or expense incurred in acting pursuant to
written directions to the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent given by the Trustee
or Depositor from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture or in undertaking actions from time to time which the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent deems necessary in its discretion to protect the Trust and
the rights and interests of the FTPS Unit holders pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture.
(f) The FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall conduct its operations in a
manner that is compatible with the current operational procedures and
requirements of the Trustee (including, without limiting the foregoing,
the provision and receipt of data in such format and meeting such
technical requirements as the Trustee may specify) and shall exercise its
best efforts to accommodate any changes in the operational procedures and
requirements which the Trustee may make upon prior notice to the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent. The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that the default of
the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent in its obligations under this paragraph, or
the performance by the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent of its obligations in a
manner which shall adversely affect the Trustee's performance of its
duties, shall be a sufficient grounds for the Trustee to remove the FTPS
Unit Servicing Agent pursuant to Section 3.16(d) and Section 4.05.
(g) As used in this Section 3.16, "FTPS Unit holder," when referring
to the records of the Trustee, shall mean the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent
and, when referring to the records to be maintained by the FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent, shall mean each owner of a FTPS Unit identified on the
records of the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent."
J. Section 4.01(a) and (b) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust
shall be amended to include the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent among the parties who
are furnished information concerning the Evaluation of each issue of Securities
deposited in the Trust and the Trust Fund Evaluation.
K. The second sentence of the first paragraph of Section 4.03 shall be
replaced with the following:
"Such fee may exceed the actual cost of providing such services for
the Trust, but at no time will the total amount received by First Trust
Advisors, L.P. for rendering the services described in this Section 4.03
and FTP Services LLC for rendering the services described in Section 3.16
to unit investment trusts of which the Depositor is the sponsor in any
calendar year exceed the aggregate cost to FTP Services LLC and First
Trust Advisors, L.P. of supplying such services in such year."
L. Section 4.04 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
replaced in its entirety by the following:
"Section 4.04. Liability of Evaluator. The Trustee, FTPS Unit
Servicing Agent, Depositor and the Unit holders may rely on any Evaluation
furnished by First Trust Advisors, L.P., acting in its capacity as
Evaluator, and shall have no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. The
determinations made by the Evaluator hereunder shall be made in good faith
upon the basis of the best information available to it. The Evaluator
shall be under no liability to the Trustee, FTPS Unit Servicing Agent,
Depositor or the Unit holders for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Evaluator against any liability
to which it would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by
reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder."
M. The second sentence of the first paragraph of Section 5.01 shall be
amended to delete subsection (ii) of such sentence and replace it in its
entirety with the following:
"(ii) amounts representing estimated accrued expenses of such Trust
including but not limited to unpaid fees and expenses of the Trustee, the
Evaluator, the Portfolio Supervisor, the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, the
Depositor and its counsel, in each case as reported by the Trustee to the
Depositor on or prior to the date of Evaluation,"
N. Section 6.01(c) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
replaced in its entirety with the following:
"(c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the
recitals herein, the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or for the
due execution hereof by the Depositor, the Portfolio Supervisor, the
Evaluator, or the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, or for the form, character,
genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the Securities
(except that the Trustee shall be responsible for the exercise of due care
in determining the genuineness of Securities delivered to it pursuant to
contracts for the purchase of such Securities) or for or in respect of the
validity or sufficiency of the Units or of the Certificates (except for
the due execution thereof by the Trustee) or for the due execution thereof
by the Depositor, and the Trustee shall in no event assume or incur any
liability, duty or obligation to any Unit holder, the FTPS Unit Servicing
Agent or the Depositor other than as expressly provided for herein. The
Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the validity of any
signature by or on behalf of the Depositor, the Portfolio Supervisor, the
Evaluator or the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent;"
O. Section 8.02(b) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
replaced in its entirety with the following:
"(b) deduct from the Income Account of such Trust or, to the extent
that funds are not available in such Account, from the Capital Account of
such Trust, and pay accrued and unpaid fees of the Evaluator, the
Portfolio Supervisor, the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, the Depositor and
counsel in connection with such Trust, if any;"
P. Section 8.05 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
amended to add the following paragraph immediately preceding the last paragraph
of such section:
"Any notice, demand, direction or instruction to be given to the
FTPS Unit Servicing Agent shall be in writing and shall be duly given if
mailed or delivered to the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent at ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

specified by the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent to the other parties hereto in
writing."
Q. 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 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. Unit holders shall receive their
distribution upon termination in cash."

or pay to the Affiliated Entity, as applicable, compensation for such
services at standard commission rates, markups or concessions."
S. 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 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."
T. 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,
with respect to any Trust which is a widely held fixed investment trust as
defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(b)(22), 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 notwithstanding any
contrary provisions of paragraph (II)(c) of this Section, 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:
(i) With respect to any Trust which is a widely held fixed
investment trust as defined on Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(b)(22), 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. 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 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.
(ii) With respect to any trust which intends to qualify as a
regulated investment company, as set forth in the Prospectus for such
trust, the Trustee may make such distributions from the Income or Capital
Accounts as may be necessary, as determined by the Trust's independent
registered public accounting firm, in order to avoid imposition of any
income or excise taxes on undistributed income in the Trust. In addition,
the Trustee will distribute any funds in the Capital Account in December
of each year."
U. 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:
"With respect to any Trust which is a widely held fixed investment
trust as defined on Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(b)(22), 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."
V. 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.
(e) Cost-basis reporting for Unit holders who purchase or hold their
Units through the First Trust Advisor Direct system ("Advisor Direct").
The Depositor shall maintain information required for the reporting of the
cost basis of Advisor Direct holders (as defined in section 2.03(b)) as
may be required from time to time by applicable law (including, without
limitation, Section 6045(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended) and regulations, and the Depositor shall be responsible for the
reporting of such information to the Advisor Direct holders, or if
reporting by the Depositor is not permitted by applicable law or
regulation or if the Depositor and Trustee otherwise agree that the
Trustee shall report such information, the Depositor shall provide the
Trustee such information as will permit the Trustee to provide required
cost-basis information to the Advisor Direct holders and shall provide the
information at such times and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
request. The Depositor will be solely responsible for the accuracy of such
cost-basis information and the reporting thereof to Advisor Direct holders
as provided above. The Trustee may rely conclusively upon the cost-basis
information provided by the Depositor with respect to Advisor Direct
holders, and shall be indemnified in accordance with Section 6.04 of the
Indenture against any loss or liability, including any penalty or other
charge imposed by any taxing authority in respect of such cost-basis
information or reporting thereof made by the Depositor as provided in this
paragraph."
W. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of the Trust, the eighth paragraph of Section 5.02 of the Standard
Terms shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02, the
Trustee (or the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent in the case of FTPS Units) is
hereby irrevocably authorized in its discretion, in the event that the
Depositor does not purchase any Units tendered to the Trustee (or the FTPS
Unit Servicing Agent in the case of FTPS Units) for redemption, or in the
event that a Unit is being tendered by the Depositor for redemption, in
lieu of redeeming Units, to sell Units in the over-the-counter market
through any broker-dealer of its choice for the account of the tendering
Unit holder at prices which will return to the Unit holder an amount in
cash, net after deducting brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and other
charges, equal to or in excess of the Redemption Value which such Unit
holder would otherwise be entitled to receive on redemption pursuant to
this Section 5.02. The Trustee (or the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent in the
case of FTPS Units) shall pay to the Unit holder the net proceeds of any
such sale on the day on which such Unit holder would otherwise be entitled
to receive payment of the Redemption Value hereunder."
X. 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"
Y. 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.
(k) that such sale is necessary for the Trust to comply with such
federal and/or state securities laws, regulations and/or regulatory
actions and interpretations which may be in effect from time to time."
Z. Notwithstanding anything to the 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."
AA. 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."
BB. 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 ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other address as shall be specified by
the Depositor, Portfolio Supervisor or Evaluator to the other parties hereto in
writing.
CC. Article IV of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
amended to add the following:
"Section 4.06. Liability of Portfolio Supervisor. The Portfolio
Supervisor shall be under no liability to the Unit holders for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Indenture or for errors in judgment, but shall be liable
only for its own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties hereunder."
DD. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust, the last sentence of Section 3.01 shall be replaced with
the following:
"As used herein, the Depositor's reimbursable expenses of organizing
the Trust shall include the cost of the initial preparation and
typesetting of the registration statement, prospectuses (including
preliminary prospectuses), the indenture, and other documents relating to
the Trust, SEC and state blue sky registration fees, the cost of the
initial valuation of the portfolio and audit of the Trust, the costs of a
portfolio consultant, if any, the initial fees and expenses of the
Trustee, and legal and other out-of-pocket expenses related thereto, but
not including the expenses incurred in the printing of preliminary
prospectuses and prospectuses, expenses incurred in the preparation and
printing of brochures and other advertising materials and any other
selling expenses."
EE. Section 2.03(b) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust is
restated in full as follows:
"Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary,
Units shall be held solely in uncertificated form evidenced by appropriate
notation in the registration books of the Trustee, and no Unit holder
shall be entitled to the issuance of a Certificate evidencing the Units
owned by such Unit holder. The only permitted registered holders of Units
shall be (i) Depository Trust Company (or its nominee, Cede & Co.), (ii)
the FTPS Unit Servicing Agent, or (iii) Unit holders who purchase or
otherwise hold their Units through Advisor Direct ("Advisor Direct
holders"); consequently, individuals who are not Advisor Direct holders or
holders of FTPS Units must hold their Units through an entity which is a
participant in Depository Trust Company. Except as provided by the
preceding provisions of this paragraph, the rights specified in this
Indenture of holders of Units evidenced by a Certificate shall apply to
holders of Units held in uncertificated form."
FF. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust, Section 3.13 shall be amended by adding the following
sentences at the end thereof:
"To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulatory
authorization, unpaid portions of the deferred sales charge shall be
secured by a lien on the Trust in favor of the Depositor, provided that
such lien shall be subordinate to the lien of the Trustee granted by
Section 6.04 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust. To the extent
of such lien, the Trustee shall hold the assets of the Trust for the
benefit of the Depositor, provided that the Trustee is authorized to make
dispositions, distributions and payments for expenses in the ordinary
course of the administration of the trust without regard to such lien."
GG. For Trusts which make annualized distributions of income, as set forth
in the Prospectus for such Trusts, Section 2.01(b)(4), as renumbered hereby,
shall be amended to add the following sentence at the end thereof:
"If the Cash amount pursuant to the foregoing calculation is
negative, the Trustee shall distribute to the Depositor the amount of such
deficit, and may advance funds to the Trust for such purpose, such advance
to be repaid and secured in the manner provided in Section 3.05(II)(b) as
amended herein."
HH. Section 3.07(h) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
replaced in its entirety with the following:
"(h) in the case of a Trust which has elected to qualify as a
"regulated investment company," that the sale of Securities is necessary
or advisable: (i) in order to maintain the qualification of the Trust as
such; or (ii) to provide funds to make any distribution from such a Trust
for a taxable year in order to avoid imposition of any income or excise
taxes on undistributed income in the Trust;"
II. For Trusts which intend to qualify as a regulated investment company,
as set forth in the Prospectus for such Trusts, the first two sentences in the
second paragraph of Section 3.11 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust
shall be replaced in their entirety with the following:
"In the event that an offer by the issuer of any of the Securities
or any other party shall be made to issue new securities, or to exchange
securities, for Trust Securities, the Trustee will, at the direction of
the Depositor, vote for or against any offer for new or exchanged
securities or property in exchange for a Trust Security. Should any
issuance, exchange or substitution be effected, any securities, cash
and/or property received shall be deposited hereunder and shall be
promptly sold, if securities or property, by the Trustee pursuant to the
Depositor's direction, unless the Depositor advises the Trustee to keep
such securities or property."
JJ. For Trusts which intend to qualify as a regulated investment company,
as set forth in the Prospectus for such Trusts, Section 2.01(b)(4) of the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be deleted in its entirety and
Section 2.01(b)(5) shall be renumbered to "Section 2.01(b)(4)."
KK. For Trusts which intend to qualify as a regulated investment company,
as set forth in the Prospectus for such Trusts, Section 3.12(a) of the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be replaced in its entirety with the
following:
"(a) The New Securities shall be Securities as originally selected
for Deposit in that Series of the Trust or securities which the Depositor
determines to be similar in character as Securities originally selected
for Deposit;"
LL. For Trusts which intend to qualify as a regulated investment company,
as set forth in the Prospectus for such Trusts, Article III of the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be amended to include the following section:
"Section 3.17. Regulated Investment Company Election. Each Trust
elects to be treated and to qualify as a "regulated investment company" as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code, and the Trustee is hereby directed
to make such elections, including any appropriate election to be taxed as
a corporation, as shall be necessary to effect such qualification."
MM. For Trusts which intend to qualify as a regulated investment company,
as set forth in the Prospectus for such Trusts, Section 8.01(b) shall be amended
to remove the following text from such section:
"as a grantor trust."
NN. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust, for Trusts which make annualized distributions of income,
as set forth in the Prospectus for such Trust, Section
3.05 (II)(b) shall be replaced with the following:
"(b) For purposes of this Section 3.05, the Unit holder's Income
Distribution shall be equal to such Unit holder's pro rata share of the
balance of the Income Account calculated as of the prior Record Date, on
the basis of one-twelfth of (i) the annual income of the Trust for the
ensuing twelve months estimated by reference to the distributions made on
the Securities during the preceding calendar quarter (as adjusted for any
information with respect to future dividends received by the Trustee prior
to such Record Date) less (ii) the fees and expenses then deductible
pursuant to Section 3.05 (I) and (iii) the Trustee's estimate of other
expenses properly chargeable to the Income Account pursuant to the
Indenture which have accrued, as of such Record Date, or are otherwise
properly attributable to the period to which such Income Distribution
relates. The Trustee shall advance out of its own funds and deposit in and
credit to the Income Account on each Distribution Date, to the extent that
there is not sufficient cash in the Income Account, the additional amount,
if any, anticipated by the Trustee to be necessary to make the Income
Distribution as specified in the preceding sentence; the Trustee shall be
entitled to be reimbursed from the Income Account without interest when
funds are available therein from income on any of the Securities,
including upon the sale of Securities to meet redemptions, for any and all
amounts advanced by it pursuant to this paragraph. The Trustee shall be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of the income of the Trust to the extent
such income is required to reimburse the Trustee for amounts advanced by
it pursuant to this paragraph; amounts payable to the Trustee in respect
of such advances shall be secured by a lien on the Trust prior to the
interests of Unit holders. In the event any issuer of Securities fails to
make an anticipated distribution, or there is a disposition of Securities
or other event that reduces the net income which will be received from
that estimated by the Trustee, the Trustee shall, on the Record Date next
following the Trustee's determination that such event has occurred, reduce
the amount of the next following distribution by such amount as will
enable the Trustee to recover any advances to the Trust referable to the
anticipated receipt of such unrealized income. As determined by the
Trust's independent registered public accounting firm, the Trustee shall
adjust the December distribution from the Income and Capital Accounts as
may be necessary so that the Trust distributions during the calendar year
equal an amount necessary to avoid paying any regulated investment company
excise tax during such year. The Trustee is authorized to reduce the
following January distribution by the amount of any such increase."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, First Trust Portfolios L.P., The Bank of New York
Mellon, First Trust Advisors L.P. and FTP Services LLC have each caused this
Trust Agreement to be executed and the respective corporate seal to be hereto
affixed and attested (if applicable) by authorized officers; all as of the day,
