WHEREAS, Section 10.01 of the Trust Indenture provides, in pertinent part, that the Sponsor and the Trustee may amend the Trust Indenture “to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision hereof which may be defective or inconsistent or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder as will not materially adversely affect the interests of Beneficial Owners as determined in good faith by the Sponsor”; and

“London Good Delivery” has the meanings assigned thereto in the good delivery rules, including with respect to the standards and specifications for gold bullion, promulgated by the LBMA from time to time, or the equivalent rules of such other gold market where the Sponsor may direct the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.02(b) to arrange through a Custody Agreement for safekeeping of Gold and services in connection with its deposit and delivery, provided that any gold bullion permitted to be delivered to a Trust Allocated Account in such market shall meet the definition of Gold under this Agreement.
