SECTION 1. | Deposit of Assets into the Regulation 114 Trust Account. |

The Trustee hereby accepts the Regulation 114 Trust Account upon the terms set forth in this Trust Agreement.
(b)The Trustee will accept and credit to the Regulation 114 Trust Account all assets which from time to time are delivered to it for deposit in the Regulation 114 Trust Account by or on behalf of the Grantor or the Beneficiary (all such assets actually received in the Regulation
NY01/ 7269185.5
114 Trust Account are herein referred to individually as an “Asset” and collectively as the “Assets”). The Trustee is authorized and shall have the power to receive such Assets and to hold, invest, reinvest and dispose of the same for the uses and purposes of and according to the provisions herein set forth.

(c)The Grantor shall ensure that (i) any Assets transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Regulation 114 Trust Account will be in such form that the Beneficiary, or the Trustee upon direction by the Beneficiary, may whenever necessary negotiate any such Assets, without consent or signature from the Grantor or any other person or entity in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement, (ii) all Assets transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Regulation 114 Trust Account will consist only of Eligible Assets, and (iii) each such Asset shall be at the time of transfer free and clear of all claims, liens, interests and encumbrances whatsoever (other than those arising under this Trust Agreement).
(d)Prior to depositing the Assets in the Regulation 114 Trust Account, and from time to time thereafter as required, the Grantor shall execute or cause the execution of assignments, endorsement in blank, or transfer legal title to the Trustee of all shares, obligations or other Assets requiring assignments, so that the Beneficiary, or the Trustee upon direction by the Beneficiary, may whenever necessary negotiate any such Assets, without the consent or signature from the Grantor or any other person or entity. Any Assets received by the Trustee which are not in such proper negotiable form shall not be accepted by the Trustee and shall be returned to the Grantor as unacceptable. The Trustee may hold Assets of the Regulation 114 Trust Account in bearer form or in its own name or that of a nominee.
(e)The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether the Assets in the Regulation 114 Trust Account are sufficient to secure the Grantor's obligations to the Beneficiary.

The Withdrawal Notice shall also specify instruction to the Trustee as to how such specified Assets shall be delivered. The Beneficiary may from time to time designate a third party (the “Beneficiary Designee”) in a Withdrawal Notice to whom all or part of the Assets specified therein shall be delivered. The Beneficiary shall not be required to present any other statement or document in addition to a Withdrawal Notice in order to withdraw any Assets, except that the Beneficiary shall acknowledge receipt of any such Assets withdrawn upon request by the Trustee; nor is said right of withdrawal or any other provision of this Trust Agreement subject to any conditions or qualifications not contained in this Trust Agreement.

The Grantor shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the termination of the appointment of any Asset Manager. From time to time, the Grantor, or the Asset Manager, acting on behalf of Grantor, may instruct the Trustee to invest Assets in the Regulation 114 Trust Account in Eligible Assets. The Trustee agrees to follow any investment instructions from the Asset Manager and to execute and settle all such trades in the ordinary course. The Grantor shall be responsible to ascertain whether investments are “Eligible Assets”.
(c) The Grantor shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to withdraw from the Account and transfer to the Grantor all or any part of the Assets in the Account, provided, that the Grantor shall, at the time of such withdrawal, replace the withdrawn Assets with other Eligible Assets having a fair market value equal to the value of the Assets withdrawn. Prior to any such substitution, the Grantor shall deliver to the Beneficiary and the Trustee a detailed written description of the proposed substitution and the character and amount of the Assets proposed to be withdrawn and the Eligible Assets proposed to be used to replace such withdrawn Assets.
(d) When the Trustee is directed to deliver or receive Assets against payment, delivery will be made in accordance with generally accepted market practice.

In the absence of negligence, the Trustee shall not incur any liability to anyone resulting from actions taken by the Trustee in reliance in good faith on such instructions. The Trustee shall not incur any liability in executing instructions (i) from any attorney-in-fact prior to receipt by it of notice of the revocation of the written authority of the attorney-in-fact or (ii) from any officer of the Grantor or the Beneficiary.

Page #PageNum# of #PageNum#
NY01/ 7269185.5
this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall exercise the standard of care with respect to the Assets that a professional trustee, engaged in the banking or trust company industry, having professional expertise in financial and securities processing transactions and custody would observe in such affairs. The Trustee shall be liable for physical loss of or damage to Assets under its care, custody, possession or control or the care, custody, possession or control of its subcustodians, other agents or nominee(s) selected by it, including but not limited to loss due to fire, burglary, robbery, theft or mysterious disappearance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be responsible for loss of or damage to Assets held in Central Depositories, including but not limited to loss due to fire, burglary, robbery, theft or mysterious disappearance.
(n) Whenever in the administration of the Regulation 114 Trust Account created by this Trust Agreement the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action thereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement or certificate signed by or on behalf of Grantor and/or Beneficiary, as appropriate, and delivered to the Trustee and said statement or certificate shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it on the faith thereof.
(o) The Trustee shall execute and settle securities transactions by itself or by means of an agent or broker. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission, or for the solvency, of any such agent or broker, unless in the case of agent(s), such agent(s) is selected by the Trustee, or in the case of brokers, such broker is negligently selected by the Trustee.
(p) The Trustee is not required to make advances of cash, securities or any other property on behalf of the Regulation 114 Trust Account, or permit overdrafts in the Regulation 114 Trust Account in connection with the acquisition or disposition of Assets in the Regulation 114 Trust Account; provided, however, that if the Trustee is required by industry practice to make such advance or permit such an overdraft, such advance or overdraft shall be deemed a loan by the Trustee to the Grantor, which loan shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Trustee’s customary rate for similar loans. The Grantor shall be solely responsible for repayment of such loan and any interest thereon.
SECTION 7. | The Trustee’s Compensation; Expenses. |
(a) The Grantor shall pay the Trustee, as compensation for its services under this Trust Agreement, a fee computed at rates determined by the Trustee from time to time and agreed to in writing to the Grantor. The Grantor shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all of the Trustee’s expenses and disbursements in connection with its duties under this Trust Agreement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except any such expense or disbursement as may arise from the Trustee’s negligence, willful misconduct, lack of good faith or failure to administer the Regulation 114 Trust Account in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement. The Grantor also hereby indemnifies the Trustee for, and holds it harmless against, any loss, liability, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred or made without negligence, willful misconduct or lack of good faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement (which shall be the sole obligation of the Trustee), including
Page #PageNum# of #PageNum#
NY01/ 7269185.5
any loss, liability, costs or expenses arising out of or in connection with the status of the Trustee and its nominee as the holder of record of the Assets. The Grantor hereby acknowledges that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation of the Trustee or the termination of this Trust Agreement.
(b) No Assets shall be withdrawn from the Regulation 114 Trust Account or used in any manner for paying compensation to, or reimbursement of expenses or indemnification of, the Trustee.
SECTION 8. | Resignation or Removal of the Trustee. |
(a) The Trustee may resign at any time upon delivery of a written notice thereof to the Beneficiary and the Grantor effective not less than ninety (90) calendar days after receipt by the Beneficiary and the Grantor of such notice. The Trustee may be removed by the Grantor’s delivery to the Trustee and the Beneficiary of a written notice of removal, effective not less than ninety (90) calendar days after receipt by the Trustee and the Beneficiary of such notice. No such resignation or removal shall become effective until a successor trustee has been appointed and approved by the Beneficiary and the Grantor and all Assets in the Regulation 114 Trust Account have been duly transferred to the successor trustee in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 8.
(b) Upon receipt by the proper Parties of the Trustee’s notice of resignation or the Grantor’s notice of removal, as applicable, the Grantor and the Beneficiary shall appoint a successor trustee. Any successor trustee shall be a bank or trust company specified in Section 6(a) of this Trust Agreement. Upon the acceptance of the appointment as trustee hereunder by a successor trustee and the transfer to such successor trustee of all Assets in the Regulation 114 Trust Account, the resignation or removal of the trustee shall become effective. Thereupon, such successor trustee shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed trustee, and the resigning or removed trustee shall be discharged from any future duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement, but the resigning or removed trustee shall continue after such resignation or removal to be entitled to the benefits of the indemnities provided herein for the Trustee.
