NOTE 3. GOVERNANCE OF THE TRUST

The Trust does not have, nor does the Declaration of Trust provide for, officers, a board of directors or any employees. HSBC Bank, USA, N.A. is the Corporate Trustee of the Trust, and Lee Eastman and Michael E. Reiss are the Individual Trustees of the Trust. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, Trustees of the Trust serve until their removal, resignation, incapacity, or in the case of Individual Trustees, their death.

On December 23, 2014, the Trust adopted a code of ethics (as defined in

Item 406 of Regulation S-K under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1933) applicable to the Individual Trustees and the trust officers of the Corporate Trustee. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided to any person without charge upon written request to the Trust at its administrative office, c/o HSBC BANK USA, N.A., Corporate Trust, Issuer Services, 452 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY. In addition, the Trust relies on the Corporate Trustee to abide by HSBC Bank, USA, N.A.’s Statement of Business Principles and Code of Ethics, which is available on the Corporate Trustee’s website at http://www.us.hsbc.com.

The Trust is not a corporate entity and thus does not have an Audit Committee. The Trust has established a policy with regard to audit,

audit-related and certain non-audit engagements of its

independent auditors. Under this policy, the Trust annually approves certain limited, specified recurring services which may be provided by the Trust’s accountant or independent auditors. All other engagements for services to be performed by the Trust’s independent auditors

must be separately pre-approved by the Trust.

Joel Faden of Schulman Lobel et al. LLP acts as Chief Financial Individual providing accounting services for the Trust.
