|

|
|
(d)
|
Section
2.5(e) of the Standard Terms is hereby replaced in its entirety with the
following:
|
For
purposes of maintaining capital accounts and all income tax purposes, including
the Trust’s deemed closing of its books at the end of each calendar month under
Treasury Regulation § 1.706-1(c)(2) that is required by section 6 of Revenue
Procedure 2003-84, the Trust’s tax-exempt income, taxable income, gain, loss,
deduction, and credit will be allocated as for federal income tax and applicable
state and local franchise and income tax purposes as follows:
|
(i)
|
Interest
on the Bonds (including accrued original issue discount) for any period
shall be allocated:
|
|
(1)
|
first, to the
Holders of Variable Certificates, an amount equal to accrued interest
distributable for such period on the Variable Certificates at the Variable
Certificates Rate, and
|
|
(2)
|
second, to the
Holders of the Related Inverse Certificates, the remaining interest on the
Bonds;
|
|
(ii)
|
Gain
on the sale or redemption of the Bonds of any Maturity shall be
allocated:
|
|
(1)
|
to
the extent any gain on the sale of such Bonds is treated as ordinary
income under Section 1276 of the Code, 100% to the Holders of the Related
Inverse Certificates,
|
|
(2)
|
to
the extent any gain on the sale or deemed sale of such Maturity of Bonds
is required to be shared with the Holders of the Variable Certificates
pursuant to this Agreement, to the Holders of the Variable Certificates
that share in the distribution of such amounts,
and
|
|
(3)
|
to
the extent of the balance of all other gain, to the Holders of the Related
Inverse Certificates;
|
|
(iii)
|
Loss
recognized on the sale of the Bonds of any Maturity shall be allocated
100% to the Holders of the Related Inverse Certificates (except to the
extent the loss is borne economically by other Partners in which case it
will be allocated to that extent to such other
Partners);
|
|
(iv)
|
Unrecognized
loss on any in-kind distribution of the Bonds of any Maturity shall be
allocated to the Holders of Variable Certificates and Related Inverse
Certificates in a manner that reflects their respective interests in the
Trust and the Bonds, their shares of the Bonds distributed, and the
effects on their respective interests of such distribution (taking account
of all facts and circumstances);
and
|
|
(v)
|
All
expenses of the Trust (including all Amortized Premium on the Bonds to the
extent treated as a separate item of expense of the Trust) shall be
allocated 100% to the Holders of the Related Inverse
Certificates.
|
|
(vi)
|
All
of the allocations set out above are intended to be made in accordance
with section 704(b) of the Code. If allocation of the Trust’s
tax-exempt income, taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, and credits
provided above would not be in accordance with section 704(b) of the Code,
then allocations shall be made in a manner that is in accordance with
section 704(b) of the Code. If the Trustor believes in its sole
judgment that such other allocations are required it shall promptly give
notice to Holders (or, in the case of Certificates held by a regulated
investment company (as defined in Section 851(a) of the Code) (each, a
“RIC”) with respect to which an election is in place for a manager (the
“Electing Manager”) to be responsible for collecting, retaining, and
providing beneficial ownership information to the Internal Revenue Service
(the “IRS”), the Trustor shall promptly give notice to the Electing
Manager).
|
|
(2)
|
Limitations on
Activities and Income and Expense of the
Trust.
|
Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Standard Terms to the contrary:
|
(a)
|
the
Trust shall not acquire any asset unless the Trustee has received an
Officer’s Certificate of the Trustor that the acquisition of that asset
will not cause less than 95 percent of the Trust’s gross income (for this
purpose, including the gross amount of interest income that is excluded
from gross income) to be (or reasonably expected to be)
from:
|
|
(i)
|
interest
on tax-exempt obligations as defined in section 1275(a)(3) of the Code and
Treasury Regulation § 1.1275-1(e),
|
|
(ii)
|
exempt-interest
dividends as defined in section 852(b)(5) of the Code that are paid by a
RIC, and
|
|
(iii)
|
gain
from the sale, redemption, or other disposition of assets generating the
income described in clauses (i) and (ii), above, and income from the
temporary investment (for a period no greater than seven months) of the
proceeds of the disposition, but only if the assets that are sold,
redeemed, or disposed are original assets of the Trust. For
this purpose, an asset is an original asset of the Trust if the asset is
contributed to the Trust or is acquired with capital contributed to the
Trust (and not with the proceeds of the sale, redemption, or other
disposition of a Trust asset).
|
The Trust
shall distribute (or make payments of expenses with) the proceeds of any of the
assets that are sold, redeemed, or disposed of, and shall not reinvest such
proceeds unless otherwise permitted and in any event shall not invest such
proceeds other than (1) for a temporary period (not exceeding seven months)
prior to distribution (or payment) in investments having a remaining maturity of
less than seven months and maturing on or before the next Variable Certificates
Interest Payment Date (or date when expenses are expected to be paid) or (2)
reinvestment in a fund commonly known as a tax-exempt money market fund (very
generally, a RIC that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value per share of
$1.00 and pay solely exempt-interest dividends as defined in section 852(b)(5)
of the Code), but nothing in this sentence implies that any such right to
reinvest exists. The Trust may assume that amounts treated as
interest for federal income tax purposes on fixed income investments for which
an Opinion of Counsel was rendered satisfy the requirement of clause (i) of
Section (2)(a) until it has received notice from its tax advisors or the Trustor
or Remarketing Agent to the contrary.
|
(b)
|
The
Trust shall not incur any liability or expense, if doing so would prevent
substantially all of the Trust’s expenses and deductions from being
properly allocable to:
|
|
(i)
|
producing,
collecting, managing, protecting, and conserving the income described in
Section (a)(i), (ii), or (iii),
above,
|
|
(ii)
|
acquiring,
managing, conserving, maintaining, or disposing of property held for the
production of the income described in Section 8(2)(a)(i), (ii), or (iii),
above, and
|
|
(iii)
|
servicing
the equity in the Trust, and
|
|
(iv)
|
Payments
of Remarketing and Liquidity Charges and Trustee Fees comply with Section
8(2)(b). Furthermore, for purposes of Section 8(2)(b), the
costs of collecting, managing, computing, and supplying the information
required, under Revenue Procedure 2003-84, to be provided to the IRS and
to the Partners, shall not be taken into
account.
|
|
(3)
|
Initial
Filing.
|
|
(a)
|
In
connection with its formation, the Trust shall obtain an employer
identification number. The Trustor and, at the Trustor’s
direction, the Trustee, and each of their accountants, are each authorized
to obtain such number and each of the foregoing is authorized to delegate
such authority to its agents. Each Partner, by acceptance of
its Certificate or interest therein, is deemed to consent to the
foregoing.
|
|
(b)
|
The
Trust shall file an abbreviated Form 1065, “U.S. Return of Partnership
Income,” as required by, and in the format outlined in section 8.01 of,
Revenue Procedure 2003-84, for its first taxable year as soon as
reasonably possible after the Start-Up Date but in no event later than the
date that the partnership's income tax return for that taxable year would
ordinarily be due. The Trustor and, at the Trustor’s direction,
the Trustee, and each of their accountants, are each authorized to sign
the abbreviated Form 1065, and each of the foregoing is authorized to
delegate such authority to its agents. Each Partner, by
acceptance of its Certificate or interest therein, is deemed to consent to
the foregoing and to authorize the filing of the abbreviated Form 1065 on
behalf of the Trust and itself. Copies of the abbreviated Form
1065 will be made available to Partners upon
request.
|
|
(4)
|
Information Reporting
and Record Retention.
|
|
(a)
|
The
Trust shall, within 45 days of a request by the IRS or a Partner (or a
Beneficial Owner or nominee of a Beneficial Owner of a Certificate), make
available all the information necessary to compute a Partner’s monthly
tax-exempt income, taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit,
including sufficient information for a partner to determine the portion of
the tax-exempt interest that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax
and information regarding each Partner’s share of any bond premium
amortization under section 171 of the Code, any market or original issue
discount, and capital gain or loss. The Trust shall not charge
any fee to the IRS or a Partner for providing the information required to
be provided by this paragraph. If any Partner specifically
requests such information for any tax reporting reason, however, the
Trustor may charge such Partner a reasonable fee (disclosed in advance)
but not the IRS) for providing any information required to be provided to
or on behalf of such Partner by Section
8(4)(a).
|
|
(b)
|
Except
in the case of a RIC with respect to which a manager or advisor (an
“Electing Manager”) has elected under section 8.04 of Revenue Procedure
2003-84 to be responsible for collecting, retaining and providing to the
IRS the beneficial ownership information otherwise required to be
collected, retained and provided to the IRS, each Holder, Beneficial Owner
of a Certificate or Partner on whose behalf another person holds an
interest in a Certificate as a nominee shall, and by its acceptance of its
Certificate or any interest therein is deemed to agree to, notify the
Trustor on behalf of the Trust of its beneficial ownership of a
Certificate and provide the Trustor on behalf of Trust all information as
required by section 8.04 of Revenue Procedure 2003-84 substantially
contemporaneously with, or immediately following, the acquisition of any
Certificate. No particular format is required of such notice;
provided,
however, such notice must be in writing, by fax, e-mail, or other similar
electronic communication medium and in a format reasonably satisfactory to
the Trust (or its designated
agent).
|
Each
Electing Manager shall, and by notifying the Trust of its election is deemed to
agree to, collect, retain and provide to the IRS or the Trust the information
required to be collected, retained and provided to the IRS or the Trust as
required under Revenue Procedure 2003-84. In addition, each Electing
Manager shall (or cause one of its agents to) notify the Trust (or its
designated agent) of the names, CUSIP numbers or other identifying information
and amounts of Certificates that are owned or have been owned by all of the
regulated investment companies that it manages or advises (i) either (a)
substantially contemporaneously with, or immediately following, the acquisition
of any Certificate or (b) otherwise, at least quarterly and (ii) within 10
business days of a request for such information if the IRS (or a regulated
investment company it manages) has requested such information from the Trust or
the Sponsor. No particular format is required of such notice, provided, however, that such
notice must be in writing, by fax, e-mail, or other similar electronic
communication medium and in a format reasonable satisfactory to the Trust (or
its designated agent).
|
(c)
|
The
Trust shall retain sufficient records, including records regarding the
legal and beneficial ownership of Certificates provided to it by Partners
and by Electing Managers, to comply with its obligations under Revenue
Procedure 2003-84.
|
Section
11. Intention of the Parties;
Notification.
It
is the intention of the parties hereto that Sections 10-12 of this Series Trust
Agreement fulfill the requirements of making a Monthly Closing Election under
Revenue Procedure 2003-84 and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.
The
Trustor will notify the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Certificates or
their nominees (or, in the case of Certificates held by a regulated investment
company with respect to which an election is in place for a manager to be
responsible collecting, retaining, and providing beneficial ownership
information to the IRS, the Trustor will notify the Electing Manager) and the
Trustee if it becomes aware (in its sole but reasonable judgment) that there is
a material risk that the Trust does not qualify for the Monthly Closing
Election.
Section
12. Trustor’s Obligations with
respect to Revenue Procedure 2003-84.
|
(1)
|
Obligations of the
Trustor. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the
Standard Terms to the contrary, the Trustor (and not the Trustee) shall
undertake, on behalf of the Trust, the Trust’s obligations under Revenue
Procedure 2003-84 (or successor guidance), including the obligations of
the Trust under Section 11 of the Series Trust Agreement
to:
|
|
(a)
|
obtain
(or cause to be obtained) a taxpayer identification number for the
Trust;
|
|
(b)

provide,
within 45 days of a request by the Internal Revenue Service or a Partner,
all the information necessary to compute a partner’s income which is

for a Partner to determine the portion of the interest which is excluded
from gross income for purposes of federal income taxes that may be subject
to the alternative minimum tax and information regarding each partner’s
share of any bond premium amortization under section 171 of the Code, any
market or original issue discount, and capital gain or
loss;
|
|
(d)
|
retain
sufficient records, including records regarding the beneficial ownership
of Certificates provided to it by a Partner and by Electing Managers as

provide information for as long as the Trust is required to provide such
information.; and
|
|
(e)
|
at
the request of the Trustee, confirm whether or not an expense or liability
to be incurred by the Trust would prevent substantially all of the Trust’s
expenses and deductions from being properly allocable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 8(2)(b)
hereof.
|
|
(2)
|
Cooperation. The
Trustee will cooperate with the Trustor and provide the Trustor with
information available to it that may be reasonably necessary or helpful
for the Trustor to comply with its obligations under Section 13 of the Series Trust
Agreement.
|

Source for the amount of the related drawing(s) on the applicable Credit
Enhancement, shall be distributed to Holders of the Inverse
Certificates of such Series on the immediately following Bond Interest Payment
Date.”
Section
14. Section 3.3 of the Standard Terms is hereby amended
by adding, following clause (d) thereof, the following clause (e):
(e) Any

(i) If the Election Letter states that the provisions of
clause (i) of Section 5.2(h) shall apply and the Quotation of Bond Price,
including accrued interest, with respect to such Maturity required by Section
5.2(e) is such that, if all the Bonds of such Maturity were sold at such
Quotation of Bond Price, the total proceeds would result, if distributed in
accordance with Section 5.2(i), in the Liquidity Provider receiving less than an
amount equal to the Stated Amount of the Variable Certificates subject to
mandatory tender on such Mandatory Tender Date plus accrued interest thereon at
the Variable Certificates Rate multiplied by the Related Allocation Fraction on
the Mandatory Tender Date:
(A) the Trustee shall instruct the Remarketing Agent to sell

and unpaid Trustee Fee and Remarketing and Liquidity Charges with respect to the
Certificates to the date of such delivery multiplied by the Related Allocation
Fraction;
(B) the Trustee shall instruct DTC to transfer an amount of
the Bonds of such Maturity as promptly as practicable through the facilities of
DTC to the Liquidity Provider such that the Liquidity Provider receives a
principal amount of the Bonds of such Maturity with a market value (based on

Certificates subject to mandatory tender on such Mandatory Tender Date plus
accrued interest thereon at the Variable Certificates Rate multiplied by the
Related Allocation Fraction; and
(C) any remaining Bonds and proceeds from the sale of Bonds
pursuant to clause (A) shall be distributed to the Holders of Related Inverse
Certificates.
(ii) If the Election Letter states that the provisions of
clause (i) of Section 5.2(h) shall apply and the Quotation of Bond Price,
including accrued interest, with respect to such Maturity required by Section
5.2(e) is such that, if all the Bonds of such Maturity were sold at such

Inverse Certificates, in each case multiplied by the Related Allocation
Fraction; and

Provider receiving at least an amount equal to the Stated Amount of the Variable
Certificates subject to mandatory tender on such Mandatory Tender Date plus
accrued interest thereon at the Variable Certificates Rate multiplied by the
Related Allocation Fraction and the Inverse Certificates receiving at least an
amount equal to the Stated Amount thereof, the Remarketing Agent shall sell the

at the highest obtainable price under current market conditions, on the
Mandatory Tender Date, any such sale to conform to the further requirements set
forth herein.
(i) On the Mandatory Tender Date, the proceeds of the sale,
if any, of each Maturity separately pursuant to Section 5.2(h)(ii) or (iv) shall
be distributed in the following order of priority, each priority being fully
paid before proceeds are used to pay any lower priority and no payment being
made on any priority if the proceeds have been exhausted in the payment of
higher priorities:
(A) to the Trustee, the accrued Trustee Fee multiplied
by the Related Allocation Fraction;
(B)(1) if the Election Letter states that the provisions
of clause (i) of Section 5.2(h) shall apply, to the Liquidity Provider an amount
equal to the Stated Amount of the Variable Certificates purchased with funds
provided under the Liquidity Facility by the Liquidity Provider multiplied by
the Related Allocation Fraction, and (2) if the Election Letter states that the
provisions of clause (iii) of Section 5.2(h) shall apply (or no Election Letter
is delivered), to the Liquidity Provider an amount equal to the Stated Amount of
the Variable Certificates purchased with funds provided under the Liquidity
Facility by the Liquidity Provider multiplied by the Related Allocation Fraction
and to the Inverse Certificates an amount equal to the Stated Amount thereof on
a pari passu
basis;
(C) to the parties entitled thereto, an amount equal to

tendered on the Mandatory Tender Date and, except in the case of a Mandatory
Tender Event under Section 5.2(a)(i) or (v) with respect to less than all the
Maturities, to Liquidity Variable Certificates outstanding at the opening of
business on the Mandatory Tender Date, an amount equal to the product of (x)
10%, (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the Related Variable Certificates
amount and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Bonds
for such Maturity, and (z) the excess, if any, of the sale price (not including
accrued interest) over the Bond Base Price of such Maturity;
and
(F) to such Holders of Related Inverse
Certificates, the balance remaining.
Section
17. Article VI of the Standard Terms is hereby amended
as follows:
The
reference to "fourteen (14) days" in Section 6.2(iv) of the Standard Terms is

6.2 thereof:
Section
6.3: Increase or Decrease of Variable Certificate/Inverse Certificate
Ratio.
(a) Any
Holder of all the Outstanding Inverse Certificates of a particular Maturity and
any Stated Amount of Variable Certificates may obtain, on any Variable
Certificates Interest Payment Date or any Rate Determination Date, additional
Inverse Certificates for such Maturity with a Stated Amount of Inverse
Certificates equal to the Stated Amount of such Variable
Certificates. In order to obtain such Inverse Certificates, the
Inverse Certificates Holder shall deliver notice to the Trustee (with a copy to
the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider) in the form of Exhibit C to
the Series Trust Agreement at least five Business Days prior to such date of
delivery. On the Business Day following receipt of such notice, the

transmission to the Holders of Certificates. The Inverse Certificates
Holder shall deliver such Variable Certificates free to the Trustee by
book-entry transfer, and shall pay to the Trustee any tax or other governmental
or Securities Depository charge that may be imposed in relation to the
transfer.
(b) Upon
satisfaction of the requirements of Section 6.3(a), the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust shall, on the Variable Certificates Interest Payment Date or the Rate
Determination Date specified in the notice delivered by such Holder, execute
additional Inverse Certificates for such Maturity with a Stated Amount of
Inverse Certificates equal to the Stated Amount of Variable Certificates,
deliver the same to the Holder as specified in such notice and cancel the
Variable Certificates so delivered.
(c) If a
notice has been delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3(a), then any
Holder of all Outstanding Inverse Certificates of a particular Maturity may
obtain, on any Variable Certificates Interest Payment Date or any Rate
Determination Date, delivery of additional Variable Certificates of such
Maturity by:
(i) causing
the Securities Depository to deliver a specified Stated Amount of Inverse
Certificates free to the Trustee by book-entry transfer into the Trustee’s
accounts at such Securities Depository;
(ii) delivering
a notice to the Trustee in the form of Exhibit C at least 10 Business Days prior
to such date of delivery, which notice shall specify the new Variable
Certificate/Inverse Certificate ratio for such Maturity;
(iii) paying to
the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay any tax or other governmental or Securities
Depository charge or any other charges that may be imposed in relation thereto;
and
(iv) delivering
or causing to be delivered to the Trustee the written consent of the Liquidity
Provider to such execution and delivery of additional Variable Certificates and
evidence that the Amount Available under the Liquidity Agreement has been
increased to reflect the issuance of the additional Variable Certificates in
accordance with the terms of the Standard Terms and the Liquidity
Agreement.
The
Trustor shall also deliver to the Trustee a certificate of the Trustor
demonstrating that the Variable Certificates Rate, following the delivery of the
additional Variable Certificates, (y) if such delivery is on a Variable
Certificates Interest Payment Date, will not exceed the Maximum Variable
Certificates Rate or (z) if such delivery is on an Rate Determination Date, will
not exceed the Maximum Variable Certificates Rate assuming that the issuance of
the additional Variable Certificates had occurred as of the immediately
preceding Bond Interest Payment Date.
On the
Business Day following receipt of any notice pursuant to the foregoing clause
(ii), the Trustee shall transmit a copy of such notice to the Remarketing Agent
and to the Securities Depositories for transmission to the Holders of
Certificates.
(d) Upon
satisfaction of the requirements of Section 6.3(c), the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust shall, on the Variable Certificates Interest Payment Date or the Rate
Determination Date specified in the notice delivered by such Holder, execute
additional Variable Certificates with a Stated Amount equal to the Stated Amount
of the Inverse Certificates delivered to the Trustee by such Holder, deliver the
same to such Holder as specified in such notice and cancel the Inverse
Certificates so delivered.
Section
18. Exhibit E to the
Standard Terms is hereby replaced in its entirety by the Form of Purchaser’s
Letter in the form attached as Exhibit B

Value Ratio is less than the Minimum Value Ratio, and the Liquidity Provider
notifies the Trustee to establish a Mandatory Tender Date.
(ii) A
termination event, a default or event of default occurs under any Reimbursement
Agreement related to the Trust Agreement, and the Liquidity Provider provides
notice to the Trustee to establish a Mandatory Tender Date.
(iii) Notice
shall have been given to the Trustee by the Liquidity Provider that the
financial condition of the Principal Credit Source has, in the reasonable
opinion of the Liquidity Provider, deteriorated in a materially adverse manner
since the Trust was established.
The
Mandatory Tender Date for any Mandatory Tender Event set forth in Section 20
shall be the fifth Business Day following the day that the Trustee is notified
to establish a Mandatory Tender Date.
Section
20. Upon presentation of Liquidity Variable Certificates on or
before 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, the Trustee shall direct the Remarketing
Agent to obtain a Quotation of Bond Price and to determine the Accrued Market
Discount, Accrued OID and Unamortized Premium, if any, separately with respect
to each Maturity on the same Business Day as the day of presentation to the
Trustee of the Liquidity Variable Certificates. On the same Business
Day on which the Quotation of Bond Price is obtained, the Trustee shall instruct
the Remarketing Agent to sell a portion of the Bonds of each Maturity sufficient
in the aggregate to pay the accrued and unpaid Trustee Fees, the accrued and
unpaid Remarketing and Liquidity Charges and the Stated Amount of such Liquidity
Variable Certificates together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of
such date and all other amounts due the Liquidity Provider, and distribute such
proceeds to the Trustee, Remarketing Agent and Liquidity Provider as applicable

Bonds of a particular Maturity multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which
is the Stated Amount of Liquidity Variable Certificates and the denominator of
which is the Stated Amount of all Variable Certificates shall be sold for this
purpose; provided, further, that, if no Variable Certificates other than
Liquidity Variable Certificates are Outstanding, then any Maturity of Bonds may
be sold for this purpose and in the event any proceeds remain after such sale
and the payment of the amounts described above, then such excess shall be paid
to the Beneficial Owner of the Inverse Certificates.

Stated Amount of Inverse Certificates held by each Holder; provided, however,
the Trustee shall not exercise its right to exchange Bonds for the underlying
bonds pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Custody Agreement, unless the Trustee has
been directed by 100% of the Beneficial Owners of the Certificates.

Odd-Lot Subaccount pursuant to Section 11.8; provided that if the Certificates
