Any such refusal will be promptly notified to you. We will notify you within a commercially reasonable time before we amend our procedures or impose additional ones in relation to the transfer of Bullion into your Unallocated Account, and in doing so we will consider your needs to communicate any such change to Participants and others.
4.		TRANSFERS FROM THE UNALLOCATED ACCOUNT
4.1		Procedure: We will transfer Bullion from your Unallocated Account to such persons and at such times and on such terms as specified in your instructions to us and not otherwise. A transfer of Bullion from your Unallocated Account may only be made by:

	(a)		transfer of Bullion to a Third Party Unallocated Account; or
	(b)		transfer of Bullion to your Allocated Account, including pursuant to the standing instruction provided in clause 4.5; or
	(c)		subject to clause 4.4, by either (i) making the Bullion available for collection at our vault premises, or as we may direct or (ii), if separately agreed, delivering the Bullion to such location as we agree at your expense and risk.

Any Bullion to be made available in physical form pursuant to clause 4.1(b) or (c) will be in a form which complies with the Rules or in such other form as may be agreed between us, and in all cases will comprise one or more whole bars selected by us (or other form as agreed), the combined fine weight of which will not exceed the number of fine ounces of Bullion you have instructed us to debit.

4.2 Instruction requirements: You may at any time instruct us to transfer Bullion standing to the credit of your Unallocated Account. Any instruction relating to a transfer of Bullion other than pursuant to a standing instruction must:

Unallocated Bullion Account Agreement

- 6 -

	(a)		if it relates to a transfer pursuant to clause 4.1(a), be received by us no later than 3:00 p.m. (London time) on the Withdrawal Date or 3:30 p.m. (London time) on a Withdrawal Date occurring when London is and New York is not on daylight savings time unless otherwise agreed and specify the details of the Third Party Unallocated Account(s) to which the Bullion is to be transferred;
	(b)		if it relates to a transfer pursuant to clause 4.1(b), be received by us no later than 9:00 a.m. (London time) on the day that is two Business Days prior to the Withdrawal Date unless otherwise agreed, and specify the details of your Allocated Account to which the Bullion is to be transferred;
	(c)		if it relates to a withdrawal pursuant to clause 4.1(c), be received by us no later than 9:00 a.m. (London time) on the day that is two Business Days prior to the Withdrawal Date unless otherwise agreed, and specify the name of the person or carrier that will collect the Bullion from us or the identity of the person to whom delivery is to be made, as the case may be; and
	(d)		in all cases, specify the number of fine ounces of Bullion to be debited to the Unallocated Account, the Withdrawal Date and any other information which we may from time to time require.

4.3		Power to amend procedure and notice of amendments to agreements: We may amend the procedure for the transfer of Bullion from your Unallocated Account or impose such additional procedures as we may from time to time consider appropriate. We will notify you within a commercially reasonable time before we amend our procedures or impose additional ones in relation to the transfer of Bullion from your Unallocated Account, and in doing so we will consider your needs to communicate any such change to Participants and others. We also will provide you a copy of any proposed amendment to the form of the Participant Unallocated Bullion Account Agreement no later than 15 Business Days before the amendment’s scheduled effectiveness.
4.4		Physical withdrawals of Bullion: Upon your instruction, we will debit Bullion from your Unallocated Account and make the Bullion available for collection by you or, if separately agreed, for delivery by us at your expense and risk. You and we agree nevertheless that you expect to withdraw Bullion physically from your Unallocated Account (rather than by crediting it to a Third Party Unallocated Account) only in exceptional circumstances, as for example when we are unable to transfer Precious Metal on an Unallocated Basis. In the case of all physical withdrawals of Bullion from your Unallocated Account, unless we agree to undertake delivery, you must collect, or arrange for the collection of, the Bullion being withdrawn from us, the Sub-Custodian or other party having physical possession thereof. We will advise you of the location from which the Bullion may be collected no later than one Business Day prior to the Withdrawal Date. When we have agreed separately to deliver Bullion in connection with a physical withdrawal, we shall make transportation and insurance arrangements on your behalf in accordance with our usual practice unless we have agreed in writing to other arrangements, with which we shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply.

Anything in this agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without limiting your right to withdraw Bullion, we shall not be obliged to effect any requested delivery if, in our reasonable opinion, this would cause us or our agents to be in breach of the Rules or other applicable law, court order or regulation, the costs incurred would be excessive or delivery is impracticable for any reason. When pursuant to your instruction Bullion is physically withdrawn from your Unallocated Account, all right, title, risk and interest in and to the Bullion withdrawn shall pass at the Point of Delivery to the person to whom or to or for whose account such Bullion is transferred, delivered or collected.

4.5 Standing Instruction: We will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the following instruction, which we acknowledge you are giving to us for execution as a standing instruction:

As early as we can but in any event by the close of business (London time) on each Business Day, we will transfer to your Allocated Account from the Bullion standing to your credit in your Unallocated Account an amount of Bullion such that the amount of Bullion that remains standing to your credit in your Unallocated Account after any transfers on that day pursuant to clause 4.1 does not exceed 430 fine ounces.

4.6		Physical withdrawal of entire Unallocated Account balance. If, when you notify us in connection with a physical withdrawal of Bullion from your Unallocated Account under clause 4.4 that you are withdrawing the entire balance in your Unallocated Account (or when a physical withdrawal under clause 4.4 would, in our determination, result in the entire balance in your Unallocated Account being withdrawn), the physical withdrawal instruction may not be effected by our selection of one or more whole bars of Bullion the combined fine weight of which does not exceed the balance of your Unallocated Account that you are withdrawing, then we will make available to you in accordance with clause 4.4 the number of whole bars that can be accommodated under your instruction, and will purchase for cash the remainder of the Bullion in your Unallocated Account based on the price of an ounce of gold as fixed by the five members of the London gold fix at or about 10:30 a.m. London time (the “London A.M. Fix”) on the date you are withdrawing the Bullion physically, or if there is no London A.M. Fix for Gold for such date, then the London A.M. Fix for Gold for the next Business Day.
5.		INSTRUCTIONS
5.1		Your representatives: We will act only on instructions given in accordance with this clause 5.1 and clause 11 and will not otherwise act on instructions given by any person claiming to have a beneficial interest in the streetTRACKS® Gold Trust. You shall notify us promptly in writing of the names of the people who are authorized to give instructions on your behalf. Until we receive written notice to the contrary, we are entitled to assume that any of those people have full and unrestricted power to give us instructions on your behalf. We are also entitled to rely on any instructions which are from, or which purport to emanate from, any person who appears to have such authority.

5.2		Amendments: Once given, instructions continue in full force and effect until they are cancelled, amended or superseded. We must receive an instruction canceling, amending or superseding a prior instruction before the time the prior instruction is acted upon. Any instructions shall have effect only after actual receipt by us.
5.3		Unclear or ambiguous instructions: If, in our opinion, any instructions are unclear or ambiguous, we will use reasonable endeavours (taking into account any relevant time constraints) to obtain clarification of those instructions but, failing that, we may in our absolute discretion and without any liability on our part, act upon what we believe in good faith such instructions to be or refuse to take any action or execute such instructions until any ambiguity or conflict has been resolved to our satisfaction.

In addition, the disclosure of such information may be required by a party’s auditors, by its legal or other advisors or by a company which is in the same group of companies as a party (eg. a subsidiary or holding company of a party). Subject to the agreement of the party to which information is disclosed to maintain it in confidence in accordance with clause 6.1, each party irrevocably authorizes the other to make such disclosures without further reference to such party.

12.8		Counterparts: This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all the counterparts together constitute the same agreement.
12.9		Business Days: If any obligation of either you or us falls due to be performed on a day which is not a Business Day in respect of the Unallocated Account in question, then the relevant obligations shall be performed on the next succeeding Business Day applicable to such account.
12.10		Processing of account entries: Except for physical withdrawals as to which transfer of ownership is determined at the Point of Delivery, records of (i) all deposits to and withdrawals from the Allocated Account and all debits and credits to the Unallocated Account which, pursuant to instructions given in accordance with this agreement and the Allocated Bullion Account Agreement, occur on a Business Day and (ii) all end of Business Day account balances in the Allocated Account and the Unallocated Account are prepared overnight as at the close of our business (usually 4:00 p.m. London time) on that Business Day. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence is illustrated by the following examples, which are not intended to create any separate obligations on our part:

your Unallocated Account for credit to your Allocated Account on that Business Day pursuant to the standing instruction contained in the Unallocated Bullion Account Agreement and of the balances in your Allocated Account and your Unallocated Account for that Business Day shall be prepared overnight as at the close of our business on that Business Day.

Reports of a transfer of Bullion which we debit from your Allocated Account for credit to your Unallocated Account on a Business Day and a transfer of Bullion which we debit from your Unallocated Account for credit to a Third Party Unallocated Account on that Business Day and of the balances in your Allocated Account and Unallocated Account for that Business Day shall be prepared overnight as at the close of our business on that Business Day.

		When you instruct us to debit Bullion from your Allocated Account for credit to your Unallocated Account and direct us to execute such instruction on the same Business Day as and in connection with one or more instructions that you give to us to debit Bullion from your Unallocated Account, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to execute the instructions in a manner that minimizes the time the Bullion to be debited from your Allocated Account stands to your credit in your Unallocated Account, save that we shall not be responsible for any delay caused by late, incorrect or garbled instructions or information from you or any third party.
12.11		Maintenance of this agreement. Concurrently with this agreement, we and you are entering into the Allocated Bullion Account Agreement. That agreement shall remain in effect as long as this agreement remains in effect, and if that agreement is terminated, this agreement terminates with immediate effect.
12.12		Prior Agreements: The Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior existing agreement between you and us relating to the same subject matter.
12.13		Cooperation: During the term of this agreement, we and you will cooperate with each other and make available to each other upon reasonable request any information or documents necessary to insure that each of our respective books and records are accurate and current.
13.		GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
13.1		Governing law: This agreement is governed by, and will be construed in accordance with, English law.
13.2		Jurisdiction: We both agree the courts of the State of New York, in the United States of America, and the United States federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan in such state are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes or claims which may arise out of or in connection with this agreement and, for these purposes we both irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, waive any claim of forum non conveniens and any objections to the laying of venue, and further waive any personal service.
