WHEREAS, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amended Rule 15c6-1(a) to shorten by one business day the standard settlement cycle for most broker-dealer securities transactions (such shortened settlement cycle, the “T+1 Settlement Cycle”); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Standard Terms as more fully set forth below; and

A Participating Party, pursuant to the Participant Agreement described below, agrees to transfer the requisite Index Securities (or contracts to purchase such Index Securities which are expected to be delivered in a “regular way” manner in two (2) Business Days) and the Cash Component to the Trustee by means of the Clearing Process, together with such additional information as may be required by the Trustee.

is hereby amended such that the reference to “in two (2) Business Days” shall be replaced with “no later than one (1) Business Day after the trade date.”

2. Effective on the Settlement Cycle Change Date, the following sentence in Section 2.03 of the Standard Terms:

In such cases, the DTC Participant shall effectuate the transfer of the requisite Index Securities and the Cash Component to the Trustee directly through DTC on the day on which the order is accepted by the Distributor for Trust Unit delivery not later than on the second (2nd) Business Day following the day on which the order is accepted by the Distributor.

is hereby amended such that the reference to “second (2nd) Business Day” shall be replaced with “first (1st) Business Day.”

3. Effective on the Settlement Cycle Change Date, the following sentence in Section 3.04 of the Standard Terms:

Beneficial Owners as reflected on the records of the Depository and the DTC Participants on the first (1st) Business Day following the Ex-Dividend Date (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to receive an amount representing dividends accumulated on the Securities through the quarterly dividend period preceding such Ex-Dividend Date (including Securities with ex-dividend dates falling within such quarterly dividend period), net of fees and expenses, accrued daily for such period.

4. Effective March 4, 2024, the following sentence in Section 5.02 of the Standard Terms:

Trust Units in Creation Unit size aggregations will be redeemable in kind when such Creation Unit size aggregation is in the account of a single DTC Participant by submitting a request for redemption to the Trustee in the manner specified below.

8. Pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 10.01 of the Standard Terms, the Trustee agrees that it shall promptly furnish each DTC Participant with sufficient copies of a written notice of the substance of this Amendment Agreement for transmittal by each such DTC Participant to Beneficial Owners of the Trust.
