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

or Letter of Credit described above, deliver to, or assign
in the name of or on the order of, the Depositor the number

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

provided, however that this disclaimer of liability shall
not excuse the Trustee from the responsibilities specified

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.

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

such duties.

with an analysis of the custody risks associated with
maintaining assets with an Eligible Securities

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.

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 (C) 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

reasonable care, provided, however, that the Portfolio

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 Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent
being inaccurate or incomplete. This indemnity shall be a
continuing obligation of each of the Depositor and the Fund/SERV
Unit Servicing Agent, and their successors and assigns,
notwithstanding the termination of this Trust Agreement.
(6) The Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent shall distribute to
redeeming Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV Units on the Trustee's books.
(7) The Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent shall distribute to
Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV Units on the Trustee's books.
(8) In connection with such termination distributions set
forth above, the Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent shall furnish a
Final Distribution Statement to Fund/SERV 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.
(9) As requested by the Depositor and/or the Trustee, the
Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV
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 Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent deems
necessary in its discretion to protect the Trust and the rights
and interests of the Fund/SERV Unit holders pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture.
(f) The Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent. The Depositor
acknowledges and agrees that the default of the Fund/SERV Unit
Servicing Agent in its obligations under this paragraph, or the
performance by the Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV Unit Servicing
Agent pursuant to Section 3.16(d) and Section 4.05.
(g) As used in this Section 3.16, "Fund/SERV Unit holder,"
when referring to the records of the Trustee, shall mean the
Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent and, when referring to the records
to be maintained by the Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent, shall
mean each owner of a Fund/SERV Unit identified on the records of
the Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent."
I. Section 4.01(a) and (b) of the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust shall be amended to include the Fund/SERV
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.
J. 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.
K. Section 4.04 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be amended to include the Fund/SERV Unit Servicing
Agent replaced in its entirety by the following:
"Section 4.04. Liability of Evaluator. The Trustee,
Fund/SERV 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, Fund/SERV Unit
Servicing Agent, Depositor or the Unit holders for errors in
judgement; 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."
L. 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
Fund/SERV 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,"
M. 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 Fund/SERV 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 Fund/SERV 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
Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent;"
N. 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 Fund/SERV Unit
Servicing Agent, the Depositor and counsel in connection with
such Trust, if any;"
O. 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 Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent shall be in
writing and shall be duly given if mailed or delivered to
the Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other address as shall be
specified by the Fund/SERV Unit Servicing Agent to the other
parties hereto in writing.
P. 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 fifteen 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, First Trust Portfolios L.P., The Bank of
New York and First Trust Advisors L.P. 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, month and year first above written.
