Ownership of beneficial interests in Receipts evidenced by such global certificate or certificates shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected only through, records maintained by (i) DTC or (ii) institutions that have accounts with DTC. (e) If, at any time when Receipts are evidenced by a global certificate, DTC ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for such Receipts, the Trustee shall issue separate certificates in registered form evidencing Receipts to the DTC book-entry settlement system participants entitled thereto, with such additions, deletions and modifications to the Depositary Trust Agreement and to the form of certificate evidencing Receipts as the Sponsor and the Trustee may, from time to time, agree, and such participants shall be charged the costs of printing, preparation, Delivery and shipping of any such certificates.

SECTION 2.5 DELIVERY OF RECEIPTS. Upon receipt by the Trustee of any deposit pursuant to Section 2.2, together with a Depositor Order and the other documents required as above specified, if any, the Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, shall use its best efforts to Deliver, on or before the next succeeding business day to or upon the written order of the Depositor, the number of Receipts issuable in respect of such deposit, provided such number is an integral multiple of an Issuance Denomination, but only upon payment to the Trustee of all taxes and governmental charges and fees payable in connection with such deposit and the transfer of the Underlying Securities. SECTION 2.6 REGISTRATION; REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER; COMBINATION AND SPLIT-UP OF CERTIFICATES.

(c) The Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of these Standard Terms and the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, shall, upon Surrender of a certificate evidencing Receipts for the purposes of effecting a split-up or combination of such certificate or certificates, execute and deliver one or more new certificate or certificates evidencing such Receipts in any integral multiple of a Round Lot requested.

(a) Upon Surrender at the office of the Trustee during the Trustee's regular business hours of a Round Lot of Receipts or integral multiple thereof for the purpose of withdrawal of the Underlying Securities represented thereby, and upon payment of all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such Surrender and withdrawal and delivery of the Underlying Securities, and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4.10, the Owner of such Receipts shall be entitled to Delivery of the amount of Underlying Securities at the time represented by such Receipts.

Without limitation of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not knowingly accept for deposit under the Depositary Trust Agreement any Securities required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, for the public offer and sale thereof in the United States unless a registration statement is in effect as to such Securities for such offer and sale. SECTION 2.9 LOST CERTIFICATES, ETC. In case any certificate evidencing Receipts shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Trustee shall execute and deliver a new certificate of like tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated certificate upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen certificate.

The Trustee is authorized to dispose of such certificates according to its normal operating procedures. SECTION 2.11 RESTRICTIONS ON PRE-RELEASE, PRE-CANCELLATION AND SECURITIES LENDING.

Any Person presenting Securities for deposit or any Owner of Receipts may be required from time to time to file with the Trustee such proof of citizenship or residence, exchange control approval, or such information relating to the registration on the books of any Securities Issuer or Securities Registrar, if applicable, to execute such certificates and to make such 10 representations and warranties, as the Trustee may require. The Trustee may withhold the Delivery or registration of transfer of any Receipts or the delivery of any Underlying Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties made. SECTION 3.2 LIABILITY OF OWNER FOR TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES. If any tax or other charge shall become payable with respect to any Receipts or any Underlying Securities represented thereby, such tax or other charge shall be payable by the Owner of such Receipts to the Trustee. The Trustee shall refuse to effect any registration of transfer of such Receipts or any withdrawal of Underlying Securities represented by such Receipt until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends, interest payments or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner thereof Underlying Securities constituting any multiples of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts, and may apply such dividends, interest payments or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other charge and the Owner of such Receipt shall remain liable for any deficiency. SECTION 3.3 WARRANTIES ON DEPOSIT OF SECURITIES. Every Person depositing Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Securities and each certificate therefor are validly issued and fully paid, that the person making such deposit is duly authorized to do so and that at the time of delivery, such Securities are free and clear of any lien, pledge, encumbrance, right, charge or claim (other than the rights created by the Depositary Trust Agreement). Every such person shall also be deemed to represent that such Securities are not, and Receipts representing such Securities would not be, Restricted Securities. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of Securities, issuance of Receipts or termination of the Depositary Trust Agreement. In the event that the Trustee, in its sole discretion, determines that any of such representations and warranties were materially inaccurate at the time deemed to be given and that such inaccuracy has or may adversely affect other Beneficial Owners in any material respect, the related deposit of Securities shall be null and void and, to the extent lawful and feasible, the Trustee shall cause the related Securities (and any securities or financial instruments resulting therefrom subsequent to the date of deposit and not previously distributed) to be redelivered, if lawful and feasible, to such person or related successors in interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if for any reason any liens, pledges, encumbrances, rights, charges or claims shall be made on such Securities by a party claiming through such Depositor, or if such Securities are Restricted Securities, the Trustee shall, promptly after becoming aware of such lien, pledges, encumbrances, rights, charges or claims, notify the applicable Depositor thereof. 11 ARTICLE 4 THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES SECTION 4.1 CASH DISTRIBUTIONS. Whenever the Trustee shall receive any cash dividend, interest payment or other cash distribution on any Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall distribute the amount thus received to the Owners entitled thereto PROMPTLY (GENERALLY, WITHIN THREE BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT), in proportion to the number of Receipts held by them respectively; provided, however, that in the event that the respective Securities Issuer or the Trustee shall be required to withhold and does withhold from such cash dividend, interest payment or such other cash distribution an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Owners shall be reduced accordingly. Where such withholding is required because of a characteristic of a particular Owner, including the characteristics of any Person holding through such Owner, distributions to such Owner shall be reduced by the amount of such withholding. The Trustee shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Owner a fraction of one cent. Any such fractional amounts shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent and so distributed to Owners entitled thereto. The Trustee shall retain as additional compensation any undistributed amounts resulting from such down-rounding. SECTION 4.2 DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN CASH OR SECURITIES. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.8 and 5.2, whenever the Trustee shall receive any distribution other than (i) a distribution described in Section 4.1, 4.3(a) or 4.4 or (ii) any distribution which would otherwise be distributed hereunder except that the Trustee deems such distribution not to be lawful and feasible, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 4.10, cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of Receipts held by them respectively, in any manner that the Trustee may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Trustee such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Owners entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including, but not limited to, any requirement that a Securities Issuer or the Trustee withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such securities must be registered under the Securities Act in order to be distributed to Owners) the Trustee deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Trustee shall adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Owners entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash; provided, that nothing herein or in any Depositary Trust Agreement shall be deemed to obligate the Trustee to register or to cause to be registered any Securities. SECTION 4.3 DISTRIBUTIONS IN SECURITIES. (a) If any distribution upon the Underlying Equity Security consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, additional Underlying Equity Securities, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible, retain such Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and, in such case, (i) the amount of 12 such Securities so retained in respect of each Receipt shall be added to the quantity of Underlying Equity Securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts and (ii) the number of Receipts in an Issuance Denomination may be increased or decreased by the Trustee to the lowest multiple of 100 Receipts such that no fractional shares are thereby represented in such Issuance Denomination. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, if any distribution upon the Underlying Equity Security consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, securities that are not Underlying Equity Securities, the Trustee shall cause the securities received by it to be distributed to Owners in accordance with Section 4.2. SECTION 4.4 RIGHTS OFFERINGS. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, if a Securities Issuer offers or causes to be offered to the holders of any Underlying Securities any rights to subscribe for additional Securities or other securities, the Trustee shall have discretion in accordance with this Section 4.4 as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on behalf of Owners and making the net proceeds available to Owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason (including the absence of an effective registration statement covering the distribution of securities underlying the rights), the Trustee may not make such rights available to any Owners or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to Owners, then the Trustee shall allow the rights to lapse in accordance with Section 5.2. In the event that the Trustee is required to withhold and does withhold on account of taxes from any distribution of the net proceeds of a disposition of rights, the amount distributed to the Owners shall be reduced accordingly. Where such withholding is required because of a characteristic of a particular Owner or any Person holding through such Owner, distributions to such Owner shall be reduced by the amount of such withholding. Any distribution of the net proceeds of a disposition of rights shall be subject to the rounding provisions of Section 4.1 hereof and the Trustee shall retain as additional compensation any undistributed amounts resulting from such down-rounding. (b) The Trustee will not cause rights to be distributed to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered under the provisions of such Act. (c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to cause rights to be distributed to Owners in general or any Owner in particular. SECTION 4.5 FIXING OF RECORD DATE. Whenever any cash dividend, interest payment or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever the Trustee receives notice of any meeting of or solicitation of proxies from holders of any Underlying Securities, or whenever the Trustee shall find it 13 necessary or convenient in respect of any matter, the Trustee shall fix a record date for the determination of the Owners who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, interest payment or distribution or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or (ii) entitled to give instructions to the Trustee for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or solicitation. The Trustee shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that, to the extent practicable, the record date set hereunder will be the same as the record date set by the Securities Issuer. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Depositary Trust Agreement, the Owners on such record date shall be entitled, as the case may be, to receive the amount distributable by the Trustee with respect to such dividend, interest payment or other distribution or the net proceeds of sale thereof, or to give voting instructions, or to act in respect of any other such matter. SECTION 4.6 REPORTS. The Trustee or its appointed agent shall to the extent lawful, forward to Owners any reports and communications, including any proxy statement or other soliciting material, received from a Securities Issuer which are received by the Trustee as the holder of the Underlying Securities or its appointed agent, unless such reports and communications have been forwarded directly to Owners by such Securities Issuer or its appointed agent. SECTION 4.7 VOTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNDERLYING SECURITIES. Upon receipt by the Trustee or its appointed agent of notice of any meeting of, or solicitation of proxies from, holders of Underlying Securities, the Trustee or its appointed agent shall, to the extent lawful, mail to the Owners a notice, the form of which notice shall be in the sole discretion of the Trustee, which shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting or solicitation, (b) a statement that the Owners as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to applicable law and the provisions of the corporate documents of the Securities Issuer, to instruct the Trustee as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, or giving of proxies, as applicable, in respect of the amount of Underlying Securities represented by their respective Receipts, and (c) a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of an Owner of a Receipt on such record date, received on or before the date established by the Trustee for such purpose, the Trustee shall endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted, or to give a proxy, as applicable, in respect of the amount of Underlying Securities represented by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The Trustee shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to, or give a proxy with respect to, Underlying Securities other than in accordance with such instructions delivered to the Trustee in accordance with instructions contained in the Trustee's notice to such Owner. SECTION 4.8 CHANGES AFFECTING UNDERLYING SECURITIES. (a) In circumstances where the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3(a) do not apply, upon any change in nominal value, change in par value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of any Underlying Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the issuer of the Underlying Equity Security, if the relevant Securities Issuer survives such event, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful 14 and feasible, retain such Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and, in such case, (A) the amount of such Securities so retained in respect of each Receipt shall be added to the classes and quantities of securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts, and (B) the number of Receipts in an Issuance Denomination may be increased or decreased by the Trustee to the lowest multiple of 100 Receipts such that no fractional shares are thereby represented in such Issuance Denomination. (b) Securities of any class which are surrendered by the Trustee in connection with any such conversion or exchange shall, effective on the date of such surrender, no longer be part of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. In any such case, the Trustee may call for the Surrender of outstanding certificates evidencing Receipts to be exchanged for new certificates specifically describing any applicable change in the classes and quantities of securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. SECTION 4.9 WITHHOLDING. In the event that the Trustee determines that any distribution in property (including Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other charge which the Trustee is obligated to withhold, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, the Trustee may by public or private sale dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Trustee deems necessary and practicable to pay any such taxes or charges and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Owners entitled thereto in proportion to the number of Receipts held by them respectively, provided, however, that where such withholding is required because of a characteristic of a particular Owner or any Person holding through such Owner, distributions to such Owner shall be reduced by the amount of such withholding. SECTION 4.10 LIMITATION ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding any provision of the Depositary Trust Agreement which requires or permits the Trustee to distribute or Deliver any securities to Owners, the Trustee shall not distribute to any Owner any fraction of a share or other security. Instead, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful, sell the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds, including the net proceeds received in addition to the sale of such fractions, to the Owners entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash. In connection with any such sale, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps to obtain best execution and, in connection therewith, in its sole discretion, shall select brokers to effect such sale (which may include affiliates of the Trustee, the Sponsor or any Depositor) in a manner intended to effect the best execution in connection therewith. Any such distribution of cash related to the sale of such fraction shall be subject to the rounding provisions of Section 4.1 hereof and the Trustee shall retain as additional compensation any undistributed amounts resulting from such down-rounding. 15 ARTICLE 5 THE TRUSTEE AND THE SPONSOR SECTION 5.1 MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE AND TRANSFER BOOKS BY THE TRUSTEE.

SECTION 5.2 PREVENTION OR DELAY IN PERFORMANCE BY THE SPONSOR OR THE TRUSTEE. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of any Receipt, if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the corporate documents of any Securities Issuer, or by reason of any provisions of any securities issued or distributed by any Securities Issuer, or any offering or distribution thereof, or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstances beyond its control, the Sponsor or the Trustee shall be prevented or forbidden from, or be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of these Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement it is provided shall be done or performed; nor shall the Sponsor or the Trustee nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates incur any liability to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of any Receipt by reason of any non-performance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which by the terms of these Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement it is provided shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in these Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement or for any action or inaction taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence hereunder.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor Trustee whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Trustee or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the resignation of the Trustee, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the Trustee performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Trustee. (e) The Trustee 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, endorsement, assignment, resolution, draft or other document whether or not of 17 the same kind, prima facie properly executed, or for the disposition of monies or Securities pursuant to these Standard Terms, provided that the Trustee has acted without negligence or bad faith. The Trustee may construe any of the provisions of these Standard Terms or any Depositary Trust Agreement insofar as the same may appear to be ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions hereof or thereof, and any construction of any such provision by the Trustee in good faith shall be binding upon the parties hereto and thereto. (f) The Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the recitals herein, the validity or sufficiency of the trust created by any Depositary Trust Agreement, the validity or sufficiency of these Standard Terms or any Depositary Trust Agreement or for the due execution hereof and thereof by the Sponsor or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any Securities or for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of the certificates (except for the due execution thereof by the Trustee). (g) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Underlying Securities, or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or non-action is without negligence or bad faith.

SECTION 5.4 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE TRUSTEE; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign as Trustee hereunder by written notice of its election so to do, delivered to the Sponsor, and such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. (b) If at any time the Trustee is in material breach of its obligations under the Depositary Trust Agreement and the Trustee fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Sponsor or Owners of 25% or more of the outstanding Receipts specifying such default and requiring the Trustee to cure such default, the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Owners, may remove the Trustee by written notice delivered to the Trustee in the manner provided in Section 7.5, and such removal shall take effect upon the appointment of the successor Trustee and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. (c) In case at any time the Trustee acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Owners, shall use its reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Owners, an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor, nevertheless, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Owners, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Underlying Securities to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor a list of the Owners of all outstanding Receipts. The Sponsor or any such successor Trustee shall promptly mail notice of the appointment of such successor Trustee to the Owners.

SECTION 5.5 INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Sponsor shall indemnify the Trustee, its directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, liability, cost, expense or judgment (including, but not limited to, the fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively "Indemnified Amounts") which is suffered or incurred 19 by any of them and which arises out of acceptance of this Trust or acting as Trustee hereunder or any acts performed or omitted pursuant to the provisions of these Standard Terms or any Depositary Trust Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, or any filings with or submissions to the Commission in connection with or with respect to such Receipts (which by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, include any registration statement and any amendments or supplements thereto filed with the Commission or any periodic reports or updates that may be filed under the Exchange Act, or any failure to make any filings or submissions to the Commission which are required to be made in connection with or with respect to such Receipts), except that the Sponsor shall not have any obligations under this Section 5.5(a) to pay Indemnified Amounts incurred as a result of and attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in carrying out its duties hereunder, or material breach of the terms of this Agreement by, the Trustee, or (ii) written information regarding the name and address of the Trustee furnished in writing to the Sponsor (and not materially changed or altered) expressly for use in the registration statement filed with the Commission relating to the Receipts and other written information provided by the Trustee specifically for inclusion in reports filed on behalf of the Trust under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that if such Indemnified Amounts result from misrepresentations or omissions made by a Depositor (other than the Sponsor) in connection with such Depositor's offer and sale of Receipts, the Trustee shall first seek indemnification from such Depositor, unless the Trustee has reason to believe that such indemnity is not reasonably available. (b) The Trustee shall indemnify the Sponsor, its directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any Indemnified Amounts (i) caused by the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or (ii) arising out of any written information regarding the name and address of the Trustee furnished in writing to the Sponsor (and not materially changed or altered) expressly for use in the registration statement filed with the Commission relating to the Receipts. (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the Indemnified Amounts referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sponsor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other hand from the offering of the Receipts which are the subject of the action or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Sponsor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other hand in connection with the action, statement or omission which resulted in such Indemnified Amount as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sponsor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportions as the total underwriting fee from the offering of the Receipts which are the subject of the action (before deducting expenses) received by the Sponsor bear to the total fees received by the Trustee in 20 connection with such Receipts. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact from which the action arises relates to information supplied by the Sponsor or the Trustee and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission or the act or omission from which the action arises. The amount of Indemnified Amounts referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (c) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (c). SECTION 5.6 FEES OF TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee shall be entitled to a fee of .04% (4 basis points) per year of the Trust's assets, calculated on the basis of the value of the aggregate value of the securities deposited into the Trust less the aggregate value of securities withdrawn from the Trust. The Trustee's fee will be payable at the end of each calendar quarter at the rate of .01% of the aggregate value of securities deposited in the Trust (determined at the time of the issuance of the Receipts associated with that Deposit), less the number of Receipts redeemed multiplied by the average deposit price of a Receipt for the period from the time of inception of the Trust to the end of the current calendar quarter). The Trustee's fee is payable no later than [45] days after the end of each calendar quarter. The fees payable pursuant to this Section 5.6, and any fractional amounts retained by the Trustee as additional compensation pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.4, 4.10, and 5.10 hereunder, shall be deemed to be full reimbursement to the Trustee for all Trust Expenses. The Trustee's fee shall be paid solely by the Sponsor and in no circumstances shall the Trustee's fee be paid out of the assets of the Trust. (b) Extraordinary Trust Expenses shall be payable by the Sponsor upon receipt of a detailed written invoice therefor from the Trustee provided that the Trustee shall use its best efforts to provide the Sponsor with written notice prior to any Extraordinary Trust Expense to be incurred in excess of $1,000 and, provided further, that in no event shall Extraordinary Trust Expenses be incurred in an amount in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate without the express written consent of the Sponsor.

Every Owner and Beneficial Owner, at the time any amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold any Receipt or an interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Depositary Trust Agreement as amended thereby.

(c) On and after the date of termination, the Trustee shall deliver to each Owner of a Receipt, to him or upon his order, the amount of Underlying Securities evidenced by such Receipt and thereupon cancel such Receipt, provided, however, at the sole discretion of the Trustee, the Trustee may condition such delivery upon prior (i) Surrender of such Receipt at the office of the Trustee, and (ii) payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges, or the Trustee may deduct any taxes or governmental charges from any cash distribution with respect to the Receipts. If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Trustee thereafter shall discontinue the registration of transfers of Receipts, shall suspend the distribution of dividends, interest payments or other distribution to the Owners thereof, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under these Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, except that the Trustee shall continue to collect dividends, interest payments and other distributions pertaining to Underlying Securities and hold the same uninvested and without liability for interest, shall sell rights as provided in these Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, and shall continue to deliver Underlying Securities, together with any dividends, interest payments or other distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any rights or other property, in exchange for Receipts Surrendered to the Trustee (after deducting or upon payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges). At any time after the expiration of one year following the date of termination, the Trustee may sell the Underlying Securities then held hereunder and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it hereunder, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners of Receipts which have not theretofore been Surrendered, such Owners thereupon becoming general creditors of the Trustee with respect to such net proceeds. After making such sale, the Trustee shall be discharged from all obligations under these Standard Terms with respect to the Receipts and the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, except to 24 account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, any applicable taxes or governmental charges).

(1) THE DEPOSITARY TRUST AGREEMENT. This Receipt is issued upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement, dated as of _______, 2004 (the "Depositary Trust Agreement"), agreed to by and among the Sponsor, the Trustee, all Owners and Beneficial Owners from time to time of Receipts issued thereunder and all Depositors. By becoming an Owner or Beneficial Owner, or by depositing Securities, such Person agrees to become a party to the Depositary Trust Agreement and become bound by all the terms and conditions thereof. The Depositary Trust Agreement sets forth the rights of Owners and the rights and duties of the Trustee in respect of the Securities deposited thereunder and any and all other securities, property and cash from time to time received in respect of such Securities and held thereunder (such Securities, other securities, property, and cash are herein called "Underlying Securities"). Copies of the Depositary Trust Agreement are on file at the Trustee's office. The statements made on the face and reverse of this Receipt are summaries of certain provisions of the Depositary Trust Agreement and are qualified by and subject to the detailed provisions of the Depositary Trust Agreement, to which reference is hereby made. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement. B-2 (2) SURRENDER OF RECEIPTS AND WITHDRAWAL OF SECURITIES. Upon Surrender at the office of the Trustee during the Trustee's regular business hours of a Round Lot of Receipts or integral multiples thereof for the purpose of withdrawal of the Underlying Securities represented thereby, and upon payment of all taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with such Surrender and withdrawal and delivery of the Underlying Securities, and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 thereof, the Owner of such Receipts shall be entitled to Delivery of the amount of Underlying Securities at the time represented by such Receipts. Delivery of such Underlying Securities may be made by (i) Delivery of Securities to such Owner or as ordered by such Owner and (ii) any available form of delivery of any other securities, property and cash to which such Owner is then entitled or as ordered by such Owner. The Trustee shall only deliver whole Underlying Securities upon Surrender of Receipts representing such Underlying Securities. (3) REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS, SPLIT-UPS AND COMBINATIONS OF CERTIFICATES; LIMITATIONS. The transfer of ownership of Receipts evidenced by this certificate is registrable on the books of the Trustee at its office by the Owner hereof in person or by a duly authorized attorney, upon Surrender of this certificate evidencing Receipts, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, and duly stamped as may be required by applicable laws. This certificate evidencing Receipts may be split up into other such certificates, each evidencing any integral multiple of a Round Lot of Receipts, or may be combined with other certificates evidencing Receipts into one such certificate, in each case evidencing the same aggregate number of Receipts as the certificate or certificates Surrendered. As a condition precedent to the Delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination or Surrender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Surrender in connection with an exchange) of any Receipt or withdrawal or delivery of any Underlying Securities, the Trustee or Registrar may require payment from the Depositor of Securities or the presentor of the Receipts of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to Securities being deposited or withdrawn), may require the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with any regulations the Trustee may establish consistent with the provisions of the Depositary Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.8 of the Standard Terms. The Delivery of Receipts against deposits of Securities, the registration of transfer of Receipts or the Surrender of Receipts for the purpose of withdrawal of Underlying B-3 Securities may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, during any period when (i) the transfer books of the Trustee are closed, (ii) the transfer books of a Securities Issuer are closed, (iii) transfers through DTC are unavailable, or (iv) if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Trustee at any time or from time to time, subject to the provisions of the following sentence. Notwithstanding any other provision of any applicable Depositary Trust Agreement or the Receipts, the Surrender of Receipts and withdrawal of Underlying Securities may not be suspended except as set forth in the previous sentence and for (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Trustee or a Securities Issuer, (ii) the payment of taxes and governmental charges, and (iii) compliance with any U.S. laws or governmental regulations relating to the Receipts or to the withdrawal of the Underlying Securities. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not knowingly accept for deposit under the Depositary Trust Agreement any Securities required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, for the public offer and sale thereof in the United States, unless a registration statement is in effect as to such Securities for such offer and sale. (4) LIABILITY OF OWNER FOR TAXES AND GOVERNMENTAL CHARGES. If any tax or governmental charge shall become payable with respect to any Receipts or any Underlying Securities represented thereby, such tax or other charge shall be payable by the Owner of such Receipt to the Trustee. The Trustee shall refuse to effect any registration of transfer of such Receipts or any withdrawal of Underlying Securities represented by such Receipt until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends, interest payments or other distributions, or may sell for the account of the Owner hereof Underlying Securities constituting any multiples of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts, and may apply such dividends, interest payments or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or governmental charge and the Owner hereof shall remain liable for any deficiency. (5) WARRANTIES ON DEPOSIT OF SECURITIES. Every Person depositing Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Securities and each certificate therefor are validly issued and fully paid, that the person making such deposit is duly authorized to do so and that at the time of delivery, such Securities are free and clear of any lien, pledge, encumbrance, right, charge or claim (other than the rights created by the Depositary Trust Agreement). Every such person shall also be deemed to represent that such Securities are not, and Receipts representing such Securities would not be, Restricted Securities. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of Securities, issuance of Receipts or termination of the Depositary Trust Agreement. In the event that the Trustee, in its sole discretion, determines that any of such representations and warranties were materially inaccurate at the time deemed to be given and that such inaccuracy has or may adversely affect other Beneficial Owners in any material respect, B-4 the related deposit of Securities shall be null and void and the Trustee shall cause the related Securities (and any securities or financial instruments resulting therefrom subsequent to the date of deposit and not previously distributed) to be redelivered, if lawful and feasible, to such person or its successors in interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if for any reason any liens, pledges, encumbrances, rights, charges or claims shall be made on such Securities by a party claiming through such Depositor, or if such Securities are Restricted Securities, the Trustee may take such action or refrain from taking any action as it shall determine in its sole discretion is in the best interests of the holders of the Receipts, and related expenses may be treated as Extraordinary Trust Expenses. (6) FILING PROOFS, CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION. Any Person presenting Securities for deposit or any Owner of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file with the Trustee such proof of citizenship or residence, exchange control approval, or such information relating to the registration on the books of any Securities Issuer or Securities Registrar, if applicable, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties, as the Trustee may require. The Trustee may withhold the Delivery or registration of transfer of any Receipts or the delivery of any Underlying Securities until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties made. (7) FEES OF TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee shall be entitled to a fee of .04% (4 basis points) per year of the Trust's assets, calculated on the basis of the value of the aggregate value of the securities deposited into the Trust less the aggregate value of securities withdrawn from the Trust. The Trustee's fee will be payable at the end of each calendar quarter at the rate of .01% of the aggregate value of securities deposited in the Trust (determined at the time of the issuance of the Receipts associated with that Deposit), less the aggregate value of the securities withdrawn from the Trust (at the time of redemption of the Receipts associated with that withdrawal). The Trustee's fee is payable no later than [45] days after the end of each calendar quarter. The fees payable pursuant to this Section 4, and any fractional amounts retained by the Trustee as additional compensation pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.4, 4.10, and 5.10 under the Trust Agreement, shall be deemed to be full reimbursement to the Trustee for all Trust Expenses. (b) Extraordinary Trust Expenses shall be payable by the Sponsor upon receipt of a detailed written invoice therefor from the Trustee, provided that the Trustee shall use its best efforts to provide the Sponsor with written notice prior to any Extraordinary Trust Expense to be incurred in excess of $1,000 and, provided further, that in no event shall Extraordinary Trust Expenses be incurred in an amount in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate without the express written consent of the Sponsor. B-5 (8) TITLE TO RECEIPTS. It is a condition of the Receipts and every successive Owner of the Receipts by accepting or holding a certificate for Receipts consents and agrees, that title to such certificate (and to the Receipts evidenced thereby), when properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument under the laws of New York; provided, however, that the Trustee, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the Owner of Receipts as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distribution of dividends and interest payments or other distributions or to any notice provided for in the Depositary Trust Agreement and for all other purposes. (9) VALIDITY OF RECEIPTS. Receipts shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Depositary Trust Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless a certificate evidencing such Receipts shall have been executed by the Trustee by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized signatory of the Trustee and, if a Registrar (other than the Trustee) for the Receipts shall have been appointed, countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. (10) REPORTS; INSPECTION OF TRANSFER BOOKS. The issuer of the Underlying Equity Security is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and, accordingly, files certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (herein called the "Commission"). Such reports will be available for inspection and copying at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission located at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. The Trustee or its appointed agent shall, to the extent lawful, forward to Owners any reports and communications, including any proxy statement or other soliciting material, received from a Securities Issuer which are received by the Trustee as the holder of the Underlying Securities or its appointed agent, unless such reports and communications have been forwarded directly to Owners by such Securities Issuer. The Trustee shall keep books for the registration of Receipts and transfers of Receipts which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Owners. (11) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Whenever the Trustee shall receive any cash dividend, interest payment or other cash distribution on any Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall, subject to the Depositary B-6 Trust Agreement, distribute the amount thus received to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto in proportion to the number of Receipts held by them respectively; provided, however, that in the event that the respective Securities Issuer or the Trustee shall be required to withhold and does withhold from such cash dividend, interest payment or such other cash distribution in respect of any Underlying Securities an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Owners of the Receipts representing such Underlying Securities shall be reduced accordingly. Where such withholding is required because of a characteristic of a particular Owner, including the characteristics of any Person holding through such Owner, distributions to such Owner shall be reduced by the amount of such withholding. The Trustee shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Owner a fraction of one cent. Any such fractional amounts shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent and so distributed to Owners entitled thereto. Fractional amounts not distributed by the Trustee after such down-rounding shall be held by the Trust for distribution to Owners on the next date on which a cash distribution is made to Owners and such held over amounts shall be added to such cash distribution. Any such fractional amounts remaining in the Trust after termination pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Standard Terms shall be paid over to the Sponsor, which shall donate such amount to a charity established for the victims and the families of victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.8 and 5.2 of the Standard Terms, whenever the Trustee shall receive any distribution other than (i) a distribution described in Section 4.1, 4.3(a) or 4.4 of the Standard Terms or (ii) a distribution which would otherwise be distributed under the Depositary Trust Agreement except that the Trustee deems such distribution not to be lawful and feasible, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 4.10 of the Standard Terms, cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of Receipts held by them respectively, in any manner that the Trustee may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Trustee such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including, but not limited to, any requirement that a Securities Issuer or the Trustee withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that such securities must be registered under the Securities Act in order to be distributed to Owners) the Trustee deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Trustee shall adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of such sale shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Owners entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash. If any distribution upon any Underlying Securities consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, additional Underlying Equity Securities, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible, retain such Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and, in such case, (i) the amount of such Securities so retained in respect of each Receipt shall be B-7 added to the quantity of Underlying Equity Securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts and (ii) the number of Receipts in an Issuance Denomination may be increased or decreased by the Trustee to the lowest multiple of 100 Receipts such that no fractional shares are thereby represented in such Issuance Denomination. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 of the Standard Terms, if any distribution upon the Underlying Equity Security consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, securities that are not Underlying Equity Securities, the Trustee shall cause the securities received by it to be distributed to Owners in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Standard Terms. In the event that the Trustee determines that any distribution in property (including Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other charge which the Trustee is obligated to withhold, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, the Trustee may by public or private sale dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Securities and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Trustee deems necessary and practicable to pay any such taxes or charges and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Owners entitled thereto in proportion to the number of Receipts held by them respectively, provided, however, that where such withholding is required because of a characteristic of a particular Owner or any Person holding through such Owner, distributions to such Owner shall be reduced by the amount of such withholding. Any such distribution of cash related to the sale of such fraction shall be subject to the rounding provisions of Section 4.1 of the Standard Terms and the Trustee shall retain any undistributed amounts resulting from such down-rounding. (12) RIGHTS OFFERINGS. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 of the Standard Terms, if a Securities Issuer offers or causes to be offered to the holders of any Underlying Securities any rights to subscribe for additional Securities or other securities, the Trustee shall have discretion in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Standard Terms as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any Owners or in disposing of such rights on behalf of Owners and making the net proceeds available to Owners or, if by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason (including the absence of an effective registration statement covering the distribution of securities underlying the rights), the Trustee may not make such rights available to any Owners or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to Owners, then the Trustee shall allow the rights to lapse in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Standard Terms. In the event that the Trustee is required to withhold and does withhold on account of taxes from any distribution of the net proceeds of a disposition of rights, the amount distributed to the Owners shall be reduced accordingly. Where such withholding is required because of a characteristic of a particular Owner or any Person holding through such Owner, distributions to such Owner shall be reduced by the amount of such withholding. Any distribution of the net proceeds B-8 of a disposition of rights shall be subject to the rounding provisions of Section 4.1 of the Standard Terms and the Trustee shall retain any undistributed amounts resulting from such down-rounding. (b) The Trustee will not cause rights to be distributed to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered under the provisions of such Act. (c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to cause rights to be distributed to Owners in general or any Owner in particular. (13) RECORD DATES. Whenever any cash dividend, interest payment or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or whenever the Trustee receives notice of a meeting of or solicitation of proxies from holders of any Underlying Securities, or whenever the Trustee shall find it necessary or convenient in respect of any matter, the Trustee shall fix a record date for the determination of the Owners who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, interest payment or distribution or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or (ii) entitled to give instructions to the Trustee for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or solicitation. The Trustee shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that, to the extent practicable, the record date set under the Depositary Trust Agreement will be the same as the record date set by the Securities Issuer. (14) VOTING OF UNDERLYING SECURITIES. Upon receipt by the Trustee or its appointed agent of notice of any meeting of, or solicitation of proxies from, holders of Underlying Securities, the Trustee or its appointed agent shall, to the extent lawful, mail to the Owners a notice, the form of which notice shall be in the sole discretion of the Trustee, which shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting or solicitation, (b) a statement that the Owners of Receipts as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to applicable law and the provisions of the corporate documents of the Securities Issuer, to instruct the Trustee as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, or giving of proxies, as applicable, in respect of the amount of Underlying Securities represented by their respective Receipts and (c) a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of an Owner of a Receipt on such record date, received on or before the date established by the Trustee for such purpose, the Trustee shall endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted, or to give a proxy, as B-9 applicable, in respect of the amount of Underlying Securities represented by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The Trustee shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to, or give a proxy with respect to, Underlying Securities other than in accordance with such instructions. (15) CHANGES AFFECTING UNDERLYING SECURITIES. (a) In circumstances where the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3(a) of the Standard Terms do not apply, upon any change in nominal value, change in par value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of any Underlying Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the issuer of any Underlying Equity Security, if the relevant Securities Issuer survives such event, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible, retain such Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and, in such case, (A) the amount of such Securities so retained in respect of each Receipt shall be added to the classes and quantities of Securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts and (B) the number of Receipts in an Issuance Denomination may be increased or decreased by the Trustee to the lowest multiple of 100 Receipts such that no fractional shares are thereby represented in such Issuance Denomination. (b) Securities of any class which are surrendered by the Trustee in connection with any such conversion or exchange shall, effective on the date of such surrender, no longer be part of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. In any such case, the Trustee may call for the Surrender of outstanding certificates evidencing Receipts to be exchanged for new certificates specifically describing any applicable change in the classes and quantities of securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. (16) LIABILITY OF THE SPONSOR AND THE TRUSTEE. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of any Receipt, if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any provisions of any securities issued or distributed by any Securities Issuer, or any offering or distribution thereof, or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstances beyond its control, the Sponsor or the Trustee shall be prevented or forbidden from, or be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of the Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement it is provided shall be done or performed; nor shall the Sponsor or the Trustee nor any of their respective directors, employees, agents or affiliates incur any liability to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of any Receipt by reason of any non-performance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in B-10 the performance of any act or thing which by the terms of the Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement it is provided shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement or for any action or inaction taken or omitted in good faith and without negligence under the Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement. Where, by the terms of an offering or distribution to which Sections 4.2, 4.3(b) or 4.4 of the Standard Terms applies, or for any other reason, it is not lawful and feasible to make such distribution or offering available to Owners, and the Trustee may not dispose of such distribution or offering on behalf of such Owners and make the net proceeds available to such Owners, then the Trustee shall not make such distribution or offering available to Owners and shall allow any rights, if applicable, to lapse. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee shall be under any obligation to prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Underlying Securities or in respect of the Receipts or the rights of the Beneficial Owners of the Receipts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, in its discretion, undertake such action as it may deem necessary at any time to protect the Trust and the rights of the Beneficial Owners of the Receipts, provided however that any expense or liability and any pecuniary cost of the Trustee reasonably incurred in connection therewith shall be an Extraordinary Trust Expense. The Trustee and the Sponsor may employ agents, attorneys, accountants and auditors and shall not be answerable for the default or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys, accountants or auditors if such parties have been selected with reasonable care. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any action or non-action by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Securities for deposit, any Owner or Beneficial Owner, or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information, including, without limitation, whether any taxes or other charges are due on, or whether there are any legal restrictions on the delivery or transfer of any Securities or Receipts, or whether any Securities are Restricted Securities. The Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor Trustee whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Trustee or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the resignation of the Trustee, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the Trustee performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Trustee. The Trustee 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, endorsement, assignment, resolution, draft or other document whether or not of the same B-11 kind, prima facie properly executed, or for the disposition of monies or Securities pursuant to the Standard Terms, provided that the Trustee has acted without negligence or bad faith. The Trustee may construe any provision of the Standard Terms or any applicable Depositary Trust Agreement insofar as the same may appear to be ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions of the Standard Terms or any applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, and any construction of any such provision by the Trustee in good faith shall be binding upon the parties to each of those Agreements. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of the trust created by any Depositary Trust Agreement, the validity or sufficiency of the Standard Terms or any applicable Depositary Trust Agreement or for the due execution of those Agreements by the Sponsor, or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any Securities or for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this or any other certificate (except for the due execution thereof by the Trustee). The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Underlying Securities, or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote, provided that any such action or non-action is without negligence or bad faith. Except as specifically provided in Section 4.6 of the Standard Terms, the Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor or to obtain any information concerning the business or affairs of any Securities Issuer or to advise Owners or Beneficial Owners of any event or condition affecting any Securities Issuer. The Trustee shall have no obligation to comply with any direction or instruction from any Owner or Beneficial Owner regarding Receipts except to the extent specifically provided in the Standard Terms or any applicable Depositary Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall be a fiduciary under the Standard Terms and the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement; provided, however, that the fiduciary duties and responsibilities and liabilities of the Trustee shall be limited by, and shall be only those specifically set forth in, the Standard Terms and the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement. No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act is intended by any provision of the Depositary Trust Agreement. For the purposes of the Standard Terms, actual knowledge or knowledge of the Trustee shall mean actual knowledge of an officer in the corporate action department of the Trustee, and the actual knowledge or knowledge of the Sponsor shall mean actual knowledge of an officer of the Sponsor responsible for matters regarding the Trust. (17) RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign as Trustee under the Depositary Trust Agreement by written notice of its election so to do, delivered to the Sponsor, and such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and its acceptance of such appointment. B-12 (b) If at any time the Trustee is in material breach of its obligations under the Depositary Trust Agreement and the Trustee fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Sponsor or the Owners of 25% or more of the outstanding Receipts specifying such default and requiring the Trustee to cure such default, the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Owners, may remove the Trustee by written notice delivered to the Trustee, and such removal shall take effect upon the appointment of the successor Trustee and its acceptance of such appointment. (c) In case at any time the Trustee shall resign or be removed, the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Owners, shall use its reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Trustee. (18) AMENDMENT. The Trustee and the Sponsor may amend any provision of the Depositary Trust Agreement without the consent of any Owner. Promptly after the execution of any amendment, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of any such amendment to each Owner. Any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than taxes and governmental charges, registration fees or other such expenses), or that otherwise prejudices any substantial existing right of the Owners will not become effective until 30 days after notice of such amendment is given to the Owners. Every Owner and Beneficial Owner, at the time any amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold any Receipt or an interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Depositary Trust Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Owner of any Receipt to Surrender such Receipt and receive therefor the Underlying Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. (19) TERMINATION OF TRUST. (a) The Trust shall terminate promptly after the Trustee distributes to Owners the interest payment made on the final Underlying Debt Security held by the Trust.
