I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, the fourth paragraph of Section 3.05 shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:
"For monthly distributions, the share of the balance in the Interest Account to be distributed to a Certificateholder shall be computed as of the tenth day of each month, commencing with the first such day subsequent to the First General Record Date (the "Monthly Record Date"). The Trustee shall distribute to each Certificateholder of record as of the close of business on such Monthly Record Date such Certificateholder's pro rata share of the balance of the Interest Account as computed herein on or shortly after the twenty-fifth day of such month (the "Monthly Distribution Date"). Such Computation shall be an amount equal to the estimated amount of interest accrued on the Bonds from and including the immediately preceding Monthly Record Date through but not including the Monthly Record Date on which such calculation is made, less (i) the estimated costs and expenses attributable to such period, (ii) interest attributable to such period paid or payable in connection with redemption of Units and (iii) amounts previously advanced by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.05 which are now deemed to be uncollectible, divided by the number of Units outstanding on such Monthly Record Date. In the event the amount on deposit in the Interest Account on a Monthly Distribution Date is not sufficient for the payment of the amount of interest to be distributed on the basis of the aforesaid computation, the Trustee shall advance out of its own funds and cause to be deposited in and credited to the Interest Account such amount as may be required to permit payment of the monthly interest distribution to be made on such Monthly Distribution Date and shall be entitled to be reimbursed, without interest, out of interest received by the Trust on the first Monthly Record Date following the date of such advance on which such reimbursement may be made without reducing the amount in the Interest Account to an amount less than that required for the next ensuing monthly interest distribution except where advances were made by the Trustee on Bonds which have defaulted or on which any payment has been recovered from the Trustee by a trustee in bankruptcy and the interest on which cannot currently be collected (either from the issuer of the Bonds or the Insurer), in which case the Trustee may reimburse itself for such advances and reduce, if necessary, the amount of the interest distribution. 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 Section 3.05; amounts payable to the Trustee in respect of such advances shall be secured by a lien on the Trust prior to the interests of Certificateholders."
