(11) The first paragraph of Section 5.01 is hereby amended and
restated to read as follows:
Section 5.01. Trust Evaluation. As of the Evaluation Time (a)
on the last Business Day of each year, (b) on the day on which any Unit
is tendered for redemption and (c) on any other day desired by the
Trustee or requested by the Depositor, the Trustee shall: Add (i) all
moneys on deposit in a Trust (excluding (1) cash, cash equivalents or
Letters of Credit deposited pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof for the
purchase of Contract Securities, unless such cash or Letters of Credit
have been deposited in the Interest and Principal Accounts because of
failure to apply such moneys to the purchase of Contract Securities
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.01, 3.03 and 3.04 hereof and
(2) moneys credited to the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.05
hereof), plus (ii) the aggregate Evaluation of all Securities
(including Contract Securities and Reinvestment Securities) on deposit
in such Trust as is determined by the Evaluator (such evaluations shall
take into account and itemize separately (i) the cash on hand in the
Trust or moneys in the process of being collected from matured interest
coupons or bonds matured or called for redemption prior to maturity,
(ii) the value of each issue of the Securities in the Trust on the bid
side of the market as determined by the Evaluator pursuant to Section
4.01, and (iii) interest accrued thereon not subject to collection and
distribution). For each such Evaluation there shall be deducted from
the sum of the above (i) amounts representing any applicable taxes or
governmental charges payable out of the respective Trust and for which
no deductions shall have previously been made for the purpose of
addition to the Reserve Account, (ii) amounts representing estimated
accrued fees of the Trust and expenses of such Trust including but not
limited to unpaid fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Evaluator, the
Supervisor, the Depositor and bond counsel, in each case as reported by
the Trustee to the Evaluator on or prior to the date of evaluation,
(iii) any moneys identified by the Trustee, as of the date of the
Evaluation, as held for distribution to Unitholders of record as of a
Record Date or for payment of the Redemption Value of Units tendered
prior to such date and (iv) unpaid organization costs in the estimated
amount per Unit set forth in the Prospectus. The resulting figure is
herein called a "Trust Fund Evaluation." The value of the pro rata
share of each Unit of the respective Trust determined on the basis of
any such evaluation shall be referred to herein as the "Unit Value."
(12) For the purposes of Section 6.01(g)(i), the liquidation
amount shall be 20% of the total value of all Securities deposited in
the Trust(s) during a Trust's initial offering period at the time of
each such deposit.
(13) Article III is hereby amended by adding the following
section:
Section 3.23. Bookkeeping and Administrative Expenses. If so
provided in the Prospectus, as compensation for providing bookkeeping
and other administrative services of a character described in Section
26(a)(2)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to the extent such
services are in addition to, and do not duplicate, the services to be
provided hereunder by the Trustee or the Depositor for providing
supervisory services, the Depositor shall receive at the times
specified in Section 3.05, against a statement or statements therefor
submitted to the Trustee an aggregate annual fee in an amount which
shall not exceed that amount set forth in the Prospectus, calculated as
specified in Section 3.05, but in no event shall such compensation,
when combined with all compensation received from other series of the
Trust or other unit investment trusts sponsored by the Depositor or its
affiliates for providing such bookkeeping and administrative services
in any calendar year exceed the aggregate cost to the Depositor for
providing such services to such unit investment trusts. Such
compensation may, from time to time, be adjusted provided that the
total adjustment upward does not, at the time of such adjustment,
exceed the percentage of the total increase, during the period from the
Trust Agreement to the date of any such increase, 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 as described under Section 3.18. The consent or
concurrence of any Unitholder hereunder shall not be required for any
such adjustment or increase. Such compensations shall be paid by the
Trustee, upon receipt of invoice therefor from the Depositor, upon
which, as to the cost incurred by the Depositor of providing services
hereunder the Trustee may rely, and shall be charged against the Income
and Capital Accounts as specified in Section 3.05. The Trustee shall
have no liability to any Unitholder or other person for any payment
made in good faith pursuant to this Section.
If the cash balance in the Income and Capital Accounts shall
be insufficient to provide for amounts payable pursuant to this Section
3.23, the Trustee shall have the power to sell (1) Securities from the
current list of Securities designated to be sold pursuant to Section
5.02 hereof, or (2) 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 3.23.
Any moneys payable to the Depositor pursuant to this Section
3.23 shall be secured by a prior lien on the Trust except that no such
lien shall be prior to any lien in favor of the Trustee under the
provisions of Section 6.04.
(14) The phrases "supervisory services," "supervisory
portfolio services" and "portfolio supervisory services" in Sections
3.18 are hereby replaced with the phrase "portfolio supervisory
services and bookkeeping and administrative expenses."
(15) Section 7.05 is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety with the following:
Section 7.05. Compensation. The Depositor shall receive at the
times set forth in Sections 3.05, 3.18, 3.23 and 4.03 as compensation
for performing portfolio supervisory services, bookkeeping and
administrative expenses and evaluation services, such amount and for
such periods as specified the Prospectus and/or Reference Trust
Agreement. The compensation for providing portfolio supervisory
services, bookkeeping and administrative expenses and evaluation
services shall be made on the basis of the largest number of units
outstanding at any time during the period for which such compensation
is being computed. At no time, however, will the total amount received
by the Depositor for services rendered to all series of Claymore
Securities Defined Portfolios in any calendar year exceed the aggregate
cost to them of supplying such services in such year. Such rate may be
increased by the Trustee from time to time, without the consent or
approval of any Unitholder, or the Depositor, by amounts not exceeding
the proportionate increase during the period from the date of such
Prospectus and/or Reference Trust Agreement to the date of any such
increase, in consumer prices as published either under the
classification "All Services Less Rent" in the Consumer Price Index
published by the United States Department of Labor or, if such Index is
no longer published, a similar index.
In the event that any amount of the compensation paid to the
Depositor pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.18 and 3.23 and 4.03 is found to
be an improper charge against a Trust, the Depositor shall reimburse
the Trust in such amount. An improper charge shall be established if a
final judgment or order for reimbursement of the Trust shall be
rendered against the Depositor and such judgment or order shall not be
effectively stayed or a final settlement is established in which the
Depositor agrees to reimburse the Trust for amounts paid to the
Depositor pursuant to this Section 7.05.
(16) The first two sentences of Section 3.22 are hereby
amended and replaced with the following:
Section 3.22. Creation and Development Fee. If the Prospectus
related to a Trust specifies a creation and development fee, the
Trustee shall, on or immediately after the end of the initial offering
period, withdraw from the Capital Account, an amount equal to the
unpaid creation and development fee as of such date and credit such
amount to a special non-Trust account designated by the Depositor out
of which the creation and development fee will be distributed to the
Depositor (the "Creation and Development Account"). The creation and
development fee is the per unit amount specified in the Prospectus for
the Trust.
(17) Article III is hereby amended by adding the following
section:
Section 3.24. License Fees. If so provided in the Prospectus,
the Depositor may enter into a Licensing Agreement (the "Agreement")
with a licensor (the "Licensor") described in the Prospectus in which
the Trust(s), as consideration for the licenses granted by the Licensor
for the right to use its trademarks and trade names, intellectual
property rights or for the use of databases and research owned by the
Licensor, will pay a fee set forth in the Agreement to the applicable
Licensor or the Depositor to reimburse the Depositor for payment of the
expenses.
If the Agreement provides for an annual license fee computed
in whole or part by reference to the average daily net asset value of
the Trust assets, for purpose of calculating the accrual of estimated
expenses such annual fee shall accrue at a daily rate and the Trustee
is authorized to compute an estimated license fee payment (i) until the
Depositor has informed the Trustee that there will be no further
deposits of additional Securities, by reference to an estimate of the
average daily net asset value of the Trust assets which the Depositor
shall provide the Trustee, (ii) thereafter and during the calendar
quarter in which the last business day of the period described in
clause (i) occurs, by reference to the net asset value of the Trust
assets as of such last business day, and (iii) during each subsequent
calendar quarter, by reference to the net asset value of the Trust
assets as of the last business day of the preceding calendar quarter.
The Trustee shall adjust the net asset value (Trust Fund Evaluation) as
of the dates specified in the preceding sentence to account for any
variation between accrual of estimated license fee and the license fee
payable pursuant to the Agreement, but such adjustment shall not affect
calculations made prior thereto and no adjustment shall be made in
respect thereof.
(18) Section 2.05 (b) is replaced in its entirety with the
following:
(b) Additional Securities deposited during the 90 days
following the initial deposit made pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof
shall maintain as closely as practicable the Original Proportionate
Relationship, except as provided in this Section 2.05(b). Additional
Securities may be deposited or purchased in round lots; if the amount
of the deposit is insufficient to acquire round lots of each Security
to be acquired, the Additional Securities shall be deposited or
purchased in the order of the Security in the Trust most under
represented immediately before the deposit with respect to the Original
Proportionate Relationship. Instructions to purchase Additional
Securities under this Section shall be in writing and shall direct the
Trustee to purchase, or enter into contracts to purchase, Additional
Securities; such instructions shall also specify the name, CUSIP
number, if any, aggregate amount of each such Additional Security and
price or range of price. If, at the time of a subsequent deposit under
this Section, Securities of an Original Issue are unavailable, cannot
be purchased at reasonable prices or their purchase is prohibited or
restricted by applicable law, regulation or policies, in lieu of the
portion of the deposit that would otherwise be represented by those
Securities, the Depositor may (A) deposit (or instruct the Trustee to
purchase) Securities of another Original Issue or (B) deposit cash or a
letter of credit with instructions to acquire the Securities of such
Original Issue when they become available.
(19) Section 4.01(b) is replaced in its entirety by the
following:
(b) During the initial offering period such Evaluation shall
be made in the following manner: if the Securities are listed on a
national securities exchange or foreign securities exchange, such
Evaluation shall generally be based on the last available sale price on
or immediately prior to the Evaluation Time on the exchange which is
the principal market therefor, which shall be deemed to be the New York
Stock Exchange if the Securities are listed thereon (unless the
Evaluator deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation) or,
if there is no such available sale price on such exchange, at the last
available offer prices of the Securities. Securities not listed on the
New York Stock Exchange but principally traded on the Nasdaq National
Market System will be valued at Nasdaq's official close price. If the
Securities are not so listed or, if so listed, the principal market
therefor is other than on such exchange or there is no such available
sale price on such exchange, such Evaluation shall generally be based
on the following methods or any combination thereof whichever the
Evaluator deems appropriate: (i) on the basis of the current offer
price for comparable securities (unless the Evaluator deems such price
inappropriate as a basis for evaluation), (ii) by determining the
valuation of the Securities on the offer side of the market by
appraisal or (iii) by any combination of the above. If the Trust holds
Securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the
Evaluation of such Security shall be converted to U.S. dollars based on
current offering side exchange rates (unless the Evaluator deems such
prices inappropriate as a basis for valuation). The Evaluator shall add
to the Evaluation of each Security which is traded principally on a
foreign securities exchange the amount of any commissions and relevant
taxes associated with the acquisition of the Security. As used herein,
the closing sale price is deemed to mean the most recent closing sale
price on the relevant securities exchange immediately prior to the
Evaluation Time. For each Evaluation, the Evaluator shall also confirm
and furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor, on the basis of the
information furnished to the Evaluator by the Trustee as to the value
of all Trust assets other than Securities, the calculation of the Trust
Fund Evaluation to be computed pursuant to Section 5.01.
(20) Section 4.01(c) is replaced in its entirety by the
following:
(c) For purposes of the Trust Fund Evaluations required by
Section 5.01 in determining Redemption Value and Unit Value and for
secondary market purchases, Evaluation of the Securities shall be made
in the manner described in 4.01(b), on the basis of the last available
bid prices of the Securities (rather than offer prices), except in
those cases in which the Securities are listed on a national securities
exchange or a foreign securities exchange and the last available sale
prices are utilized. In addition, with respect to each Security which
is traded principally on a foreign securities exchange, the Evaluator
shall (i) not make the addition specified in the fourth sentence of
Section 4.01(b) and (ii) shall reduce the Evaluation of each Security
by the amount of any liquidation costs (other than brokerage costs
incurred on any national securities exchange) and any capital gains or
other taxes which would be incurred by the Trust upon the sale of such
Security, such taxes being computed as if the Security were sold on the
date of the Evaluation.
(21) Section 9.05 is hereby revised to read as follows:
Section 9.05. Written Notice. Any notice, demand, direction or
instruction to be given to the Depositor, Evaluator or Supervisor
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be duly given if mailed or
delivered to the Depositor, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other address as shall be specified by the Depositor
to the other parties hereto in writing.
(22) The second paragraph of Section 6.02 is replaced in its
entirety as follows:
An audit of the accounts of each Trust shall not be conducted
unless the Depositor determines that such an audit is required. In the
event that the Depositor determines that an audit is required, the
accounts of each Trust shall be audited not less than annually by
independent public accountants designated from time to time by the
Depositor and reports of such accountants shall be furnished by the
Trustee, upon request, to Unitholders. The Trustee, however, in
connection with any such audits shall not be obligated to use Trust
assets to pay for such audits in excess of the amounts, if any,
indicated in the Prospectus relating to such Trust. The Trustee shall
maintain and provide, upon the request of a Unitholder or the
Depositor, the Unitholders' or the Unitholder's designated
representative with the cost basis of the Securities represented by the
Unitholder's Units.
(23) The first paragraph of Section 6.04 is replaced in its
entirety as follows:
Section 6.04. Compensation. Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.14 hereof, the Trustee shall receive at the times set forth
in Section 3.05, as compensation for performing ordinary normal
recurring services under this Indenture, an amount calculated at the
annual compensation rate stated in the Prospectus. The Trustee shall
charge a pro rated portion of its annual fee at the times specified in
Section 3.05, which pro rated portion shall be calculated on the basis
of the largest number of Units in such Trust at any time during the
primary offering period. After the primary offering period has
terminated, the fee shall accrue daily and be based on the number of
Units outstanding on the first business day of each calendar year in
which the fee is calculated or the number of Units outstanding at the
end of the primary offering period, as appropriate. The Trustee may
from time to time adjust its compensation as set forth above, provided
that 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," or, if such index shall cease to be published, then as measured
by the available index most nearly comparable to such index. The
consent or concurrence of any Unitholder hereunder shall not be
required for any such adjustment or increase, however, the consent of
the Depositor shall be required. Such compensation shall be charged by
the Trustee against the Income and Capital Accounts of each Trust;
provided, however, that such compensation shall be deemed to provide
only for the usual, normal and proper functions undertaken as Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture.
(24) Section 2.03 is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety with the following:
Section 2.03. Issuance of Units. By executing the Reference Trust
Agreement and receipt for deposited Securities, the Trustee will thereby
acknowledge receipt of the deposit of the Securities listed in the Schedules to
the Reference Trust Agreement and referred to in Section 2.01 hereof, and
simultaneously with the receipt of said deposit, has recorded on its books the
ownership, by the Depositor or such other person or persons as may be indicated
by the Depositor, of the aggregate number of Units specified in the Reference
Trust Agreement and has delivered, or on the order of the Depositor will
deliver, in exchange for such Securities, cash or a Letter of Credit,
documentation evidencing the ownership of the number of Units specified or, if
requested by the Depositor, the ownership by DTC of all such Units and will
cause such Units to be credited at DTC to the account of the Depositor or,
pursuant to the Depositor's direction and as hereafter provided, the account of
the issuer of the Letter of Credit referred to in Section 2.01. The number of
Units in a Trust may be increased through a split of the Units or decreased
through a reverse split thereof, as directed by the Depositor, on any day on
which the Depositor is the only Unitholder of such Trust, which revised number
of Units shall be recorded by the Trustee on its books. Effective as of the
Evaluation Time on March 10, 2006, in the event that the aggregate value of
Securities in the Trust has increased since the evaluation on March 9, 2006, the
Trustee shall issue such number of additional Units to the Unitholder of
outstanding Units as of the close of business on March 9, 2006, that the price
per Unit computed as of the Evaluation Time on March 10, 2006, plus the maximum
applicable sales charge shall equal approximately $10 per Unit (based on the
number of Units outstanding as of said Evaluation Time, including the additional
Units issued pursuant to this sentence); in the event that the aggregate value
of Securities in the Trust Fund has decreased since the evaluation on March 9,
2006, there will be a reverse split of the outstanding Units, and said
Unitholder will surrender to the Trustee for cancellation such number of Units,
that the price per Unit computed as of the Evaluation Time on March 10, 2006,
plus the maximum applicable sales charge shall equal approximately $10 per Unit
(based on the number of Units outstanding as of said Evaluation Time, reflecting
cancellation of Units pursuant to this sentence). The Trustee hereby agrees that
on the date of any deposit of additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.05 it
shall acknowledge that the additional Securities identified therein have been
deposited with it by recording on its books the ownership, by the Depositor or
such other person or persons as may be indicated by the Depositor, of the
aggregate number of Units to be issued in respect of such additional Securities
so deposited.
(25) Section 2.01 is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety with the following:
Section 2.01. Deposit of Securities. The Depositor, on the date of the
Reference Trust Agreement, has deposited with the Trustee in trust the
Securities and contracts (or cash or a Letter of Credit in the amount necessary
to settle any contracts for the purchase of Securities entered into by the
Trustee pursuant to the instructions of the Depositor) for the purchase of
Contract Securities listed in the Schedules to the Reference Trust Agreement in
bearer form or duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by all necessary
instruments of assignment and transfer in proper form or Contract Securities
relating to such Securities to be held, managed and applied by the Trustee as
herein provided. The Depositor shall deliver the Securities listed on said
Schedules which were not actually delivered concurrently with the execution and
delivery of the Reference Trust Agreement and which were represented by Contract
Securities to the Trustee within 10 calendar days after said execution and
delivery (the "Delivery Period"). In the event that the purchase of Contract
Securities pursuant to any contract shall not be consummated in accordance with
said contract or if the Securities represented by Contract Securities are not
delivered to a Trust in accordance with this Section 2.01 and the moneys, or, if
applicable, the moneys drawn on the Letter of Credit, deposited by the Depositor
are not utilized for Section 3.17 purchases of Replacement Securities, such
funds, to the extent of the purchase price of Failed Contract Securities for
which no Replacement Security were acquired pursuant to Section 3.17, plus all
amounts described in the next succeeding sentence, shall be credited to the
Capital Account and distributed pursuant to Section 3.05 to Unitholders of
record as of the Income Account Record Date next following the failure of
consummation of such purchase. The Depositor shall cause to be refunded to each
Unitholder his pro rata portion of the sales charge levied on the sale of Units
to such Unitholder attributable to such Failed Contract Security. Any amounts
remaining from moneys drawn on the Letter of Credit which are not used to
purchase Replacement Securities or are not used to provide refunds to
Unitholders shall be paid to the Depositor. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably
authorized to effect registration or transfer of the Securities in fully
registered form to the name of the Trustee or to the name of its nominee or to
hold the Securities in a clearing agency registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or in a book entry system operated by the Federal Reserve
Board.
(26) Section 2.05(a) is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety with the following:
Section 2.05. Deposit of Additional Securities. (a) Subject to the
requirements set forth below in this Section, the Depositor may, on any
Business Day (the "Trade Date"), subscribe for Additional Units as follows:
(1) Prior to the Evaluation Time defined in Section 5.01 on
the Trade Date, the Depositor shall provide notice (the "Subscription
Notice") to the Trustee of the Depositor's intention to subscribe for
Additional Units. The Subscription Notice shall identify the Additional
Securities to be acquired (unless such Additional Securities are a
precise replication of the then existing portfolio) and shall either
(i) specify the quantity of Additional Securities to be deposited by
the Depositor on the settlement date for such subscription or (ii)
instruct the Trustee to purchase Additional Securities with an
aggregate cost as specified in the Subscription Notice.
(2) Promptly following the Evaluation Time on such Business
Day, the Depositor shall verify with the Trustee, the number of
Additional Units to be created.
(3) Not later than the time on the settlement date for such
subscription when the Trustee is to deliver the Additional Units
created thereby (which time shall not be later than the time by which
the Trustee is required to settle any contracts for the purchase of
Additional Securities entered into by the Trustee pursuant to the
instruction of the Depositor referred to in subparagraph (1) above),
the Depositor shall deposit with the Trustee (i) 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 (ii) cash
or a letter of credit in the amount equal to the aggregate cost of the
Additional Securities to be purchased by the Trustee, as specified in
the Subscription Notice, together with, in each case, Cash defined
below. "Cash" means, as to the Capital Account, cash or other property
(other than Securities) on hand in the Capital Account or receivable
and to be credited to the Capital Account as of the Evaluation Time on
the Business Day preceding the Trade Date (other than amounts to be
distributed solely to persons other than persons receiving the
distribution from the Capital Account as holders of Additional Units
created by the deposit), and, as to the Income Account, cash or other
property (other than Securities) received by the Trust as of the
Evaluation Time on the Business Day preceding the Trade Date or
receivable by the Trust in respect of dividends or other distributions
declared but not received as of the Evaluation Time on the Business Day
preceding the Trade Date, reduced by the amount of any cash or other
property received or receivable on any Security allocable (in
accordance with the Trustee's calculation of the monthly distribution
from the Income Account pursuant to Section 3.05) to a distribution
made or to be made in respect of a Record Date occurring prior to the
Trade Date. Each deposit made pursuant to this Section 2.05 during the
90 days following the initial date of deposit shall replicate, to the
extent practicable, as specified in subparagraph (b), the Original
Proportionate Relationship, as defined hereinabove. Each deposit made
pursuant to this Section 2.05 after the 90 days following the initial
date of deposit made pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (except for
deposits made to replace Failed Contract Securities if such deposits
occur within 20 days from the date of a failure occurring within such
initial 90 day period) shall maintain exactly the proportionate
relationship existing among the Securities immediately prior to such
deposit.
(4) On the settlement date for a subscription, the Trustee
shall, in exchange for the Securities and cash or Letter of Credit
described above, issue and deliver to or on the order of the Depositor
the number of Units verified by the Depositor with the Trustee. No Unit
to be issued pursuant to this paragraph shall be issued or delivered
unless and until Securities, cash or a Letter of Credit is received in
exchange therefor and no person shall have any claim to any Unit not so
issued and delivered or any interest in the Trust in respect thereof.
(5) Any Additional Securities shall be held, administered and
applied by the Trustee in the same manner as herein provided for the
Securities.
(6) The acceptance of Additional Units by the Depositor in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section shall
be deemed a certification by the Depositor that the deposit or purchase
of Additional Securities associated therewith complies with the
conditions of this Section 2.05.
(7) Notwithstanding the preceding, in the event that the
Depositor's Subscription Notice shall instruct the Trustee to purchase
Additional Securities in an amount which, when added to the purchase
amount of all other unsettled contracts entered into by the Trustee,
exceeds 25% of the value of the Securities then held (taking into
account the value of contracts to purchase Securities only to the
extent that there has been deposited with the Trustee cash or an
irrevocable letter of credit in an amount sufficient to settle their
purchase), the Depositors shall deposit with the Trustee concurrently
with the Subscription Notice cash or a letter of credit in an amount
such that, when added to 25% of the value of the Securities then held
(determined as above) the aggregate value shall be not less than the
purchase amount of the securities to be purchased pursuant to such
Subscription Notice.
(27) The second sentence of Section 3.01 is replaced in its
entirety as follows:
Section 3.01. Initial Costs. Upon notification from the Depositor that
the primary offering period is concluded, or after six months, at the
discretion of the Depositor, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Account or
Accounts specified in the Prospectus or, if no Account is therein specified,
from the Capital Account as further set further in Section 3.03, and pay to
the Depositor the Depositor's reimbursable expenses of organizing the Trust
and sale of the Trust Units in an amount certified to the Trustee by the
Depositor but not in excess of the estimated per-Unit amount set forth in the
Prospectus multiplied by the number of Units outstanding as of the conclusion
of the primary offering period.
This Reference Trust Agreement shall be deemed effective when executed
and delivered by the Sponsor and the Trustee.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Reference Trust
