Section 2.10 Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Certificates. All certificates evidencing Receipts Surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled by the Trustee.

(a) If any class of Securities ceases to be outstanding as a result of a merger, consolidation or other corporate combination of the Securities Issuer and, as a result, securities which are not Underlying Securities or Additional Securities are received by the Trustee in exchange for, in conversion of or in respect of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible and subject to Section 4.10, distribute any securities which shall be received by the Trustee to the Owners in proportion to their Ownership of Receipts. In the event of a merger, consolidation or other corporate combination in which stockholders of a Securities Issuer are provided an option of receiving either cash or securities, the Trustee shall not respond and shall instead accept the default option regardless of whether it is cash or securities. Effective on the date that such Securities cease to be outstanding, such class of Securities shall cease to be part of the Securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. (b) If any class of Securities is delisted from trading on its primary exchange or market and is not listed for trading on another national securities exchange or through NASDAQ within five business days from the date of such delisting, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible and subject to Section 4.10, distribute the Underlying Securities of such class to the Owners in proportion to their Ownership of Receipts. Effective on the date of such distribution, such class of Securities shall cease to be a part of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. (c) In the event that any Securities Issuer no longer has a class of common stock registered under section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible and subject to Section 4.10, distribute the Underlying Securities of such Securities Issuer to the Owners in proportion to their Ownership of Receipts. Effective on the date of such distribution, such class of Securities shall cease to be part of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. (d) If the Commission determines that a Securities Issuer is an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Commission determination, then the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible and subject to Section 4.10, distribute the Underlying Securities of such Securities Issuer to the Owners in proportion to their Ownership of Receipts. Effective on the date of such distribution, such class of Securities shall cease to be part of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. ARTICLE 3 CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF OWNERS OF RECEIPTS Section 3.1 Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. 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 9 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. Section 3.2 Liability of Owner for Taxes. 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 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 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 Shares. 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. ARTICLE 4 THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES Section 4.1 Cash Distributions. Whenever the Trustee shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall distribute the amount thus received (net of the fees of the Trustee as provided in Section 5.6, if applicable) to the Owners 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 or such other cash distribution an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Owners shall be reduced accordingly. 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 to the nearest whole cent and so distributed to Owners entitled thereto. In the event that a Securities Issuer provides holders of any Underlying Securities with an option to receive either cash, securities or any other distribution, the Trustee shall not respond to the Securities Issuer and shall accept the default option provided by the Securities Issuer regardless of whether it is cash or securities or any other distribution. 10 Section 4.2 Distributions Other Than Cash or Securities. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.9 and 5.6, whenever the Trustee shall receive any distribution other than a distribution described in Sections 4.1, 4.3 or 4.4 or 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 of 1933, as amended, in order to be distributed to Owners) the Trustee, after consultation with the Initial Depositor, deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Trustee may adopt, with the Initial Depositor's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution such that each Owner receives substantially identical property (less any applicable taxes), 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 (net of the fees of the Trustee as provided in Section 5.6) shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Owners entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash. Section 4.3 Distributions in Securities. If any distribution by a Securities Issuer consists of a divided in, or free distribution of, Securities or Additional Securities, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible, retain such Securities or Additional Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and, in such case, (i) the amount of such Securities or Additional 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 (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. Section 4.4 Rights Offerings. (a) 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. (b) The Trustee will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to a distribution to all Owners or are registered under the provisions of such act. 11 (c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make such rights available to Owners in general or any Owner in particular. Section 4.5 Fixing of Record Date. Whenever any cash dividend 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 a fee shall be charged by the Trustee under Section 5.6, or whenever for any reason there is a reconstitution or other event under the Depositary Trust Agreement that causes a change in the composition of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts, or whenever the Trustee shall find it necessary or convenient in respect of any matter, the Trustee shall fix a record date (a) for the determination of the Owners who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, (ii) entitled to give instructions to the Trustee for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or solicitation or (iii) required to pay such fee, or (b) on or after which each Receipt will represent such changed group of Securities. In the case of subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this Section 4.5, the Trustee shall use its best efforts to fix a record date that will coincide with the record date fixed by the issuer of the Underlying Securities; however, if a coinciding record date is not practicable, the Trustee shall fix a record date is near as practicable to 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 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, or shall be obligated to pay such fee. Section 4.6 Reports. The Trustee 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 shall, to the extent lawful, mail to the Owners a notice which shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting or solicitation, and (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, insofar as practicable, 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. 12 Section 4.8 Changes Affecting Underlying Securities. (a) In circumstances where the provisions of Sections 2.11, 4.2 and 4.3 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 Security, regardless of whether the Securities Issuer survives, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible, retain any Securities or Additional Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and, in such case, the (i) the amount of such Securities or Additional 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 (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) 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, or in the case of an event to which Section 2.11 applies, 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. 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. Instead, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful, sell the minimum necessary number of shares, distribute the cash value of the fraction to such Owner and distribute the remaining cash to all other Owners.

Section 5.2 Prevention or Delay in Performance by the Initial Depositor or the Trustee. Neither the Initial Depositor 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 Initial Depositor 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 Initial Depositor or the Trustee 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. Where, by the terms of an offering or distribution to which Sections 2.11, 4.2 or 4.4 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. Section 5.3 Obligations of the Initial Depositor and the Trustee. (a) Neither the Initial Depositor nor the Trustee assumes any obligation nor shall they be subject to any liability under these Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement to any Owner or Beneficial Owner of any Receipt (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Underlying Securities), except that each agrees to perform its respective obligations specifically set forth in these Standard Terms and the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

(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 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.

(h) The Trustee shall be a fiduciary under these 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, these Standard Terms and the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement. 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 Initial Depositor, 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 Initial Depositor or Owners of 25% or more of the outstanding Receipts specifying such default and requiring the Trustee to cure such default, the Initial Depositor, 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 Initial Depositor, acting on behalf of the Owners, shall use its reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Trustee, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the Borough of 15 Manhattan, The City of New York. Every successor Trustee shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Initial Depositor, 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 Initial Depositor, 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 Initial Depositor or any such successor Trustee shall promptly mail notice of the appointment of such successor Trustee to the Owners. (d) Any corporation into or with which the Trustee may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of such Trustee without the execution or filing of any document or any further act. Section 5.5 Indemnification. (a) The Initial Depositor 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 incurred by any of them and which arises out of 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 Initial Depositor 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 negligence or bad faith of, or material breach of the terms of this Agreement by, the Trustee, (ii) written information regarding the name and address of the Trustee furnished in writing to the Initial Depositor (and not materially changed or altered) expressly for use in the registration statement filed with the Commission relating to the Receipts, or (iii) any misrepresentations or omissions made by a Depositor (other than Initial Depositor) in connection with such Depositor's offer and sale of Receipts. (b) The Trustee shall indemnify the Initial Depositor, 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 or (ii) arising out of any written information regarding the name and address of the Trustee furnished in writing to the Initial Depositor (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 16 (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 Initial Depositor 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 Initial Depositor 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 Initial Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportions as the total commissions from the offering of the Receipts which are the subject of the action (before deducting expenses) received by the Initial Depositor bear to the total fees received by the Trustee from the offering of 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 which from which the action arises relates to information supplied by the Initial Depositor 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 Charges of Trustee. The following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or withdrawing Securities or by any party Surrendering Receipts or to whom Receipts are Delivered or any Owner, as applicable: (1) taxes and charges and other fees payable in respect of the Underlying Securities assessed by third-party custodians, depositories, transfer agents, and other service providers in the ordinary course of their respective businesses (whether in connection with the deposit of Securities or withdrawal of Underlying Securities or otherwise), (2) a fee of $10 or less per 100 Receipts for the execution and Delivery of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.5, and the Surrender of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.7, and (3) a fee which shall accrue on the first day of each calendar quarter at a rate of $.02 or less per Receipt per quarter for the Trustee's services as such under the Depositary Trust Agreement (which fee shall be assessed against Owners of record as of the date or dates set by the Trustee in accordance with Section 4.5 and shall be collected at the Trustee's discretion by deducting such fee from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions); provided, however, that with respect to the aggregate fee accrued in any calendar year under this clause (3) with respect to each Receipt, the Trustee will waive that portion which exceeds the total cash dividends and other cash distributions the record date for which falls in such calendar year and payable with respect to such Receipt. Section 5.7 Retention of Trust Documents. The Trustee is authorized to destroy those documents, records, bills and other data compiled during the term of the Depositary Trust Agreement at the times permitted by the laws or regulations governing the Trustee.

Section 5.9 Prospectus Delivery. The Trustee shall, if required by the federal securities laws of the United States, in any manner permitted by such laws, deliver at the time of issuance of Receipts, a copy of the relevant prospectus, as amended and supplemented at such time, to each Person depositing Underlying Securities into the Trust for issuance of Receipts. Section 5.10 Tax Returns and Reports. The Trustee shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file all U.S. federal, state and local tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Trust. In this regard, the Trustee shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Internal Revenue Service forms and returns required to be filed in respect of the Trust in each taxable year of the Trust, and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Owner all Internal Revenue Service forms and returns required to be provided by the Trust. ARTICLE 6 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION Section 6.1 Amendment. The Trustee and the Initial Depositor may amend any provisions of the Depositary Trust Agreement without the consent of any Owner, provided that the Trustee or the Initial Depositor is provided with an opinion of counsel to the effect that such amendment will not affect the trust's status as a grantor trust or custodial arrangement for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than taxes and other 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. 18 Section 6.2 Early Termination. (a) The Trust shall terminate by the Trustee mailing notice of such termination to the Owners of all Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date set for termination if any of the following occurs: (i) The Trustee is notified that the Receipts are delisted from a national securities exchange and are not approved for listing on another national securities exchange within 5 business days of their delisting; (ii) Owners of at least 75% of the outstanding Receipts notify the Trustee that they elect to terminate the Trust; or (iii) 60 days shall have expired after the Trustee shall have delivered to the Initial Depositor and the Owners a written notice of its election to resign and a successor trustee shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in section 5.4. (b) on and after the date of termination, the Owner of a Receipt will, upon (i) Surrender of such Receipt at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, (ii) payment of the fee of the Trustee for the Surrender of Receipts referred to in Section 2.7, and (iii) payment of any applicable taxes or charges, be entitled to Delivery, to the Owner or upon the Owner's order, of the amount of Underlying Securities evidenced by such Receipt. 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 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 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 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, in each case, the fee of the Trustee set forth in 5.6 for the Surrender of Receipts, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Depositary Trust Agreement, and any applicable taxes or 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 account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Trustee for the Surrender of Receipts, any fees of the Trustee due and owing from the Owner of such Receipts pursuant to Section 5.6, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Depositary Trust Agreement, and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). Upon the termination of the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, the Initial Depositor shall be discharged from all obligations under such Depositary Trust Agreement except for its obligations to the Trustee under Section 5.5. 19 ARTICLE 7 MISCELLANEOUS Section 7.1 Counterparts. These Standard Terms and each Depositary Trust Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Upon Surrender at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee 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 the fee of the Trustee in connection with the Surrender B-2 of Receipts as provided in Section 5.6 of the Standard Terms and payment of all taxes and charges payable in connection with such Surrender and withdrawal 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 to such Owner 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 Corporate Trust 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 the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America. 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 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 other 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) and payment of any applicable fees as herein provided, 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 Securities may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, during any period when the transfer books of the Trustee are closed or the transfer books of a Securities Issuer are closed or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Trustee at any time or from time to time for any reason, 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 subject to only (i) temporary delays caused by closing the transfer books of the Trustee or a Securities Issuer, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar 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 B-3 deposit under the Depositary Trust Agreement any Securities required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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) RECONSTITUTION EVENTS. (a) If any class of Securities ceases to be outstanding as a result of a merger, consolidation or other corporate combination of the Securities Issuer and, as a result, securities which are not Underlying Securities or Additional Securities are received by the Trustee in exchange for, in conversion of or in respect of the Underlying Securities, and Section 4.8 of the Standard Terms does not apply, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible and subject to Section 4.10 of the Standard Terms, distribute any securities which shall be received by the Trustee to the Owners in proportion to their Ownership of Receipts. Effective on the date that such Securities cease to be outstanding, such class of Securities shall cease to be part of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. (b) If any class of Securities is delisted from trading on its primary exchange or market and is not listed for trading on another national securities exchange or through NASDAQ within five business days from the date of such delisting, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible and subject to Section 4.10 of the Standard Terms, distribute the Underlying Securities of such class to the Owners in proportion to their Ownership of Receipts. Effective on the date of such distribution, such class of Securities shall cease to be a part of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. (c) In the event that any Securities Issuer no longer has a class of common stock registered under section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible and subject to Section 4.10 of the Standard Terms, distribute the Underlying Securities of such Securities Issuer to the Owners in proportion to their Ownership of Receipts. Effective on the date of such distribution, such class of Securities shall cease to be part of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. (d) If the Commission determines that a Securities Issuer is an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Commission determination, then the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible and subject to Section 4.10 of the Standard Terms, distribute the Underlying Securities of such Securities Issuer to the Owners in proportion to their Ownership of Receipts. Effective on the date of such distribution, such class of Securities shall cease to be part of the securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts. (5) LIABILITY OF OWNER FOR TAXES. If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable with respect to any Receipts or any Underlying Securities represented thereby, such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Owner hereof 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 or B-4 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 or other distributions of the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other charge and the Owner hereof shall remain liable for any deficiency. (6) WARRANTIES ON DEPOSIT OF SECURITIES. Every Person depositing Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Receipts 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. (7) 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. (8) CHARGES OF TRUSTEE. The following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or withdrawing Securities or by any party Surrendering Receipts or to whom Receipts are Delivered or any Owner, as applicable: (1) taxes and charges and other fees payable in respect of the Underlying Securities assessed by third-party custodians, depositories, transfer agents, and other service providers in the ordinary course of their respective businesses (whether in connection with the deposit of Securities or withdrawal of Underlying Securities or otherwise), (2) a fee of $10 or less per 100 Receipts for the execution and Delivery of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Standard Terms, and the Surrender of Receipts pursuant to Section 2.7 Standard Terms, and (3) a fee which shall accrue on the first day of each calendar quarter at a rate of $.02 or less per Receipt per quarter for the Trustee's services as such under the Depositary Trust Agreement (which fee shall be assessed against Owners of record as of the date or dates set by the Trustee in accordance with Section 4.5 of the Standard Terms and shall be collected at the Trustee's discretion by deducting such fee from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions); provided, however, that with respect to the aggregate fee accrued in any calendar year under this clause (3) with respect to each Receipt, the Trustee will waive that portion which exceeds the total cash dividends and other cash distributions the record date for which falls in such calendar year and payable with respect to such Receipt. B-5 (9) 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 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 person in whose name Receipts are registered on the books of the Trustee as the absolute Owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distribution or dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in the Depositary Trust Agreement and for all other purposes. (10) 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 for the Receipts shall have been appointed, countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. (11) REPORTS; INSPECTION OF TRANSFER BOOKS. The issuer of each class of Securities is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 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, 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. (12) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Whenever the Trustee shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall, subject to the Depositary Trust Agreement, distribute the amount thus received (net of the fees of the Trustee as provided in the Depositary Trust Agreement, if applicable) to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto; 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 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. B-6 In the event that a Securities Issuer provides holders of any Underlying Securities with an option to receive either cash, securities or any other distribution, the Trustee shall not respond to the Securities Issuer and shall accept the default option provided by the Securities Issuer regardless of whether it is cash or securities or any other distribution. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.8 and 5.6 of the Standard Terms, whenever the Trustee shall receive any distribution other than a distribution described in Sections 4.1, 4.3 or 4.4 of the Standard Terms or 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 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 of 1933, as amended, in order to be distributed to Owners) the Trustee, after consultation with the Initial Depositor, deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Trustee may adopt, with the Initial Depositor's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution such that each Owner receives substantially identical property (less any applicable taxes), 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 (net of the fees of the Trustee as provided in Section 5.6 of the Standard Terms) shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Owners entitled thereto as in the case of a distribution received in cash. If any distribution by a Securities Issuer consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Securities or Additional Securities, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible, retain such Securities or Additional Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and, in such case, (i) the amount of such Securities or Additional 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 (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. 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 or any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Owners entitled thereto. B-7 (13) RIGHTS OFFERINGS. (a) 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 Depositary 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. (b) The Trustee will not offer rights to Owners unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 make such rights available to Owners in general or any Owner in particular. (14) RECORD DATES. Whenever any cash dividend 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 a fee shall be changed by the Trustee under Section 5.6 of the Standard Terms, or whenever for any reason there is a reconstitution or other event under the Depositary Trust Agreement that causes a change in the composition of the Securities which must be deposited for issuance of Receipts, or whenever the Trustee shall find it necessary or convenient in respect of any matter, the Trustee shall fix a record date (a) for the determination of the Owners who shall be (i) entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights or the net proceeds of the sale thereof or (ii) entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or solicitation, or (iii) required to pay such fee, or (b) on or after which each Receipt will represent such changed group of Securities, subject to the provisions of the Depositary Trust Agreement. In the case of subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this Article (14), the Trustee shall use its best efforts to fix a record date that will coincide with the record date fixed by the issuer of the Underlying Securities; however, if a coinciding record date is not practicable, the Trustee shall fix a record date as near as is practicable to the record date set by the Securities Issuer. (15) 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 shall, to the extent lawful, mail to the Owners a notice 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 B-8 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, the Trustee shall, insofar as practicable, 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. (16) CHANGES AFFECTING UNDERLYING SECURITIES. (a) In circumstances where the provisions of Sections 2.11, 4.2 and 4.3 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 Security, regardless of whether the Securities Issuer survives, the Trustee shall, to the extent lawful and feasible, retain any Securities or Additional Securities under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and, in such case, the (i) the amount of such Securities or Additional 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 (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) 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, or in the case of an event to which Section 2.11 of the Standard Terms applies, 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. (17) LIABILITY OF THE INITIAL DEPOSITOR AND THE TRUSTEE. Neither the Initial Depositor 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 act of God or war or other circumstances beyond its control, the Initial Depositor 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 Initial Depositor or the Trustee 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 the Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement it is provided shall or may be done or performed, or by B-9 reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Standard Terms or the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement. Where, by the terms of an offering or distribution to which Sections 2.11, 4.2 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. The Trustee shall not be subject to any liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Underlying Securities. Neither the Initial Depositor nor the Trustee shall be under any obligation to prosecute any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Underlying Securities or in respect of the Receipts. Neither the Initial Depositor 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. The Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary 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 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 of 1933, as amended, is intended by any provision of the Depositary Trust Agreement. (18) 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 Initial Depositor, and such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and its acceptance of such appointment. (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 Initial Depositor or the Owners of 25% or more of the outstanding Receipts specifying such default and requiring the Trustee to cure such default, the Initial Depositor, acting on behalf of the Owners, may remove the Trustee by written B-10 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 acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Initial Depositor, acting on behalf of the Owners, shall use its reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Trustee, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. (19) AMENDMENT. The Trustee and the Initial Depositor may amend any provisions of the Depositary Trust Agreement without the consent of any Owner, provided that the Trustee or the Initial Depositor is provided with an opinion of counsel to the effect that such amendment will not affect the trust's status as a grantor trust or custodial arrangement for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than taxes and other 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. (20) EARLY TERMINATION OF DEPOSITARY TRUST AGREEMENT. (a) The Trust shall terminate by the Trustee mailing notice of such termination to the Owners of all Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date set for termination if any of the following occurs: (i) The Trustee is notified that the Receipts are delisted from a national securities exchange and are not approved for listing on another national securities exchange within 5 business days of their delisting; (ii) Owners of at least 75% of the outstanding Receipts notify the Trustee that they elect to terminate the Trust; or (iii) 60 days shall have expired after the Trustee shall have delivered to the Initial Depositor and the Owners a written notice of its election to resign and a successor trustee shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment. (b) On and after the date of termination, the Owner of a Receipt will, upon (a) Surrender of such Receipt at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, (b) payment of the fee of the Trustee for the Surrender of Receipts referred to in Section 2.7 of the Standard Terms, and (c) payment of any applicable taxes or charges, be entitled to Delivery, to him or upon his order, of the amount of Underlying Securities evidenced by such Receipt. 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 or other distribution to the B-11 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 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 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, in each case, the fee of the Trustee set forth in 5.6 of the Standard Terms for the Surrender of Receipts, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Depositary Trust Agreement, and any applicable taxes or 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 account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Trustee for the Surrender of Receipts, any fees of the Trustee due and owing from the Owner of such Receipts pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Standard Terms, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such Receipts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Depositary Trust Agreement, and any applicable taxes or charges). Upon the termination of the applicable Depositary Trust Agreement, the Initial Depositor shall be discharged from all obligations under such Depositary Trust Agreement except for its obligations to the Trustee under Section 5.5 of the Standard Terms.
