The Trust Agreement among Nike Securities L.P., as
Depositor, The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee and First Trust
Advisors L.P., as Evaluator and Portfolio Supervisor, sets forth
certain provisions in full and incorporates other provisions by
reference to the document entitled "Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust for The First Trust Special Situations Trust, Series 22
and certain subsequent Series, Effective November 20, 1991"
(herein called the "Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust"), and
such provisions as are incorporated by reference constitute a
single instrument. All references herein to Articles and
Sections are to Articles and Sections of the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust.
WITNESSETH THAT:
In consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Evaluator and the Portfolio Supervisor agree as follows:
PART I
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRUST
Subject to the provisions of Part II and Part III hereof,
all the provisions contained in the Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety
and shall be deemed to be a part of this instrument as fully and

in full in this instrument.

H. Paragraph (b) of Section 2.01 shall be restated in its
entirety as follows:
(b)(1)From time to time following the Initial Date of
Deposit, the Depositor is hereby authorized, in its
discretion, to assign, convey to and deposit with the
Trustee (i) additional Securities, duly endorsed in blank or
accompanied by all necessary instruments of assignment and
transfer in proper form, (ii) Contract Obligations relating
to such additional Securities, accompanied by cash and/or
Letter(s) of Credit as specified in paragraph (c) of this
Section 2.01, or (iii) cash (or a Letter of Credit in lieu
of cash) with instructions to purchase additional
Securities, in an amount equal to the portion of the Unit
Value of the Units created by such deposit attributable to
the Securities to be purchased pursuant to such
instructions. Except as provided in the following
subparagraphs (2), (3) and (4) the Depositor, in each case,
shall ensure that each deposit of additional Securities
pursuant to this Section shall maintain, as nearly as
practicable, the Percentage Ratio. Each such deposit of
additional Securities shall be made pursuant to a Notice of
Deposit of Additional Securities delivered by the Depositor
to the Trustee. Instructions to purchase additional
Securities shall be in writing, and shall specify the name
of the Security, CUSIP number, if any, aggregate amount,
price or price range and date to be purchased. When
requested by the Trustee, the Depositor shall act as broker
to execute purchases in accordance with such instructions;
the Depositor shall be entitled to compensation therefor in
accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Trustee
shall have no liability for any loss or depreciation
resulting from any purchase made pursuant to the Depositor's
instructions or made by the Depositor as broker.
(2) Additional Securities (or Contract Obligations
therefor) may, at the Depositor's discretion, be deposited
or purchased in round lots. If the amount of the deposit is
insufficient to acquire round lots of each Security to be
acquired, the additional Securities shall be deposited or
purchased in the order of the Security in the Trust most
under-represented immediately before the deposit with
respect to the Percentage Ratio.
(3) If at the time of a deposit of additional
Securities, Securities of an issue deposited on the Initial
Date of Deposit (or of an issue of Replacement Securities
acquired to replace an issue deposited on the Initial Date
of Deposit) are unavailable, cannot be purchased at
reasonable prices or their purchase is prohibited or
restricted by applicable law, regulation or policies, the
Depositor may (i) deposit, or instruct the Trustee to
purchase, in lieu thereof, another issue of Securities or
Replacement Securities or (ii) deposit cash or a letter of
credit in an amount equal to the valuation of the issue of
Securities whose acquisition is not feasible with
instructions to acquire such Securities of such issue when
they become available.
(4) Any contrary authorization in the preceding
subparagraphs (1) through (3) notwithstanding, deposits of
additional Securities made after the 90-day period
immediately following the Initial Date of Deposit (except
for deposits made to replace Failed Contract Obligations if
such deposits occur with 20 days from the date of a failure
occurring within such initial 90-day period) shall maintain
exactly the Percentage Ratio existing immediately prior to
such deposit.
(5) In connection with and at the time of any deposit
of additional Securities pursuant to this Section 2.01(b),
the Depositor shall exactly replicate Cash (as defined
below) received or receivable by the Trust as of the date of
such deposit. For purposes of this paragraph, "Cash" means,
as to the Capital Account, cash or other property (other
than Securities) on hand in the Capital Account or
receivable and to be credited to the Capital Account as of
the date of the deposit (other than amounts to be
distributed solely to persons other than holders of Units
created by the deposit) and, as to the Income Account, cash
or other property (other than Securities) received by the
Trust as of the date of the deposit or receivable by the
Trust in respect of a record date for a payment on a
Security which has occurred or will occur before the Trust
will be the holder of record of a Security, reduced by the
amount of any cash or other property received or receivable
on any Security allocable (in accordance with the Trustee's
calculations of distributions from the Income Account
pursuant to Section 3.05) to a distribution made or to be
made in respect of a Record Date occurring prior to the
deposit. Such replication will be made on the basis of a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Units
created by the deposit and the denominator of which is the
number of Units which are outstanding immediately prior to
the deposit. Cash represented by a foreign currency shall
be replicated in such currency or, if the Trustee has
entered into a contract for the conversion thereof, in U.S.
dollars in an amount replicating the dollars to be received
on such conversion."
I. Section 2.01(c) of the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust is hereby amended by adding the
following at the conclusion thereof:
"If any Contract Obligation requires settlement in
a foreign currency, in connection with the deposit of such
Contract Obligation the Depositor will deposit with the
Trustee either an amount of such currency sufficient to
settle the contract or a foreign exchange contract in such
amount which settles concurrently with the settlement of the
Contract Obligation and cash or a Letter of Credit in U.S.
dollars sufficient to perform such foreign exchange
contact."
J. The second paragraph of Section 3.02 of the Standard
Terms and Conditions is hereby deleted and replaced with the
following sentence:
"Any non-cash distributions (other than a non-taxable
distribution of the shares of the distributing corporation
which shall be retained by a Trust) received by a Trust
shall be dealt with in the manner described at Section 3.11,
herein, and shall be retained or disposed of by such Trust
according to those provisions. The proceeds of any
disposition shall be credited to the Income Account of a
Trust. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall be
liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss
incurred by reason of any such sale."
K. Paragraph (c) of Subsection II of Section 3.05 of the
Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust is hereby amended to read
as follows:
"On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute
to each Unit holder of record at the close of business on
the Record Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date
an amount per Unit equal to such Unit holder's pro rata
share of the balance of the Capital Account (except for
monies on deposit therein required to purchase Contract
Obligations) computed as of the close of business on such
Record Date after deduction of any amounts provided in
Subsection I."
L. Section 3.05.II(a) of the Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"II. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
distribute to each Unit holder of record at the close of
business on the Record Date immediately preceding such
Distribution Date an amount per Unit equal to such Unit
holder's Income Distribution (as defined below), plus such
Unit holder's pro rata share of the balance of the Capital
Account (except for monies on deposit therein required to
purchase Contract Obligations) computed as of the close of
business on such Record Date after deduction of any amounts
provided in Subsection I, provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not be required to make a distribution from
the Capital Account unless the amount available for
distribution shall equal $1.00 per 100 Units.
Each Trust shall provide the following distribution
elections: (1) distributions to be made by check mailed to
the post office address of the Unit holder as it appears on
the registration books of the Trustee, or (2) the following
reinvestment option:
The Trustee will, for any Unit holder who provides
the Trustee written instruction, properly executed and
in form satisfactory to the Trustee, received by the
Trustee no later than its close of business 10 business
days prior to a Record Date (the "Reinvestment Notice
Date"), reinvest such Unit holder's distribution from
the Income and Capital Accounts in Units of the Trust,
purchased from the Depositor, to the extent the
Depositor shall make Units available for such purchase,
at the Depositor's offering price as of the fifth
business day prior to the following Distribution Date,
and at such reduced sales charge as may be described in
the prospectus for the Trust. If, for any reason, the
Depositor does not have Units of the Trust available
for purchase, the Trustee shall distribute such Unit
holder's distribution from the Income and Capital
Accounts in the manner provided in clause (1) of the
preceding paragraph. The Trustee shall be entitled to
rely on a written instruction received as of the
Reinvestment Notice Date and shall not be affected by
any subsequent notice to the contrary. The Trustee
shall have no responsibility for any loss or
depreciation resulting from any reinvestment made in
accordance with this paragraph, or for any failure to
make such reinvestment in the event the Depositor does
not make Units available for purchase.
Any Unit holder who does not effectively elect
reinvestment in Units of their respective Trust pursuant to
the preceding paragraph shall receive a cash distribution in
the manner provided in clause (1) of the second preceding
paragraph."
M. Section 3.05.II(b) of the Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"II. (b) For purposes of this Section 3.05, the Unit
holder's Income Distribution shall be equal to such Unit
holder's pro rata share of the cash balance in the Income
Account computed as of the close of business on the Record
Date immediately preceding such Income Distribution after
deduction of (i) the fees and expenses then deductible
pursuant to Section 3.05.I. and (ii) the Trustee's estimate
of other expenses properly chargeable to the Income Account
pursuant to the Indenture which have accrued, as of such
Record Date, or are otherwise properly attributable to the
period to which such Income Distribution relates."
N. Section 3.11 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following language:
"Section 3.11. Notice to Depositor.
In the event that the Trustee shall have been notified
at any time of any action to be taken or proposed to be
taken by at least a legally required number of holders of
any Securities deposited in a Trust, the Trustee shall take
such action or omit from taking any action, as appropriate,
so as to insure that the Securities are voted as closely as
possible in the same manner and the same general proportion
as are the Securities held by owners other than such Trust.
In the event that an offer by the issuer of any of the
Securities or any other party shall be made to issue new
securities, or to exchange securities, for Trust Securities,
the Trustee shall reject such offer. However, should any
issuance, exchange or substitution be effected
notwithstanding such rejection or without an initial offer,
any securities, cash and/or property received shall be
deposited hereunder and shall be promptly sold, if
securities or property, by the Trustee pursuant to the
Depositor's direction, unless the Depositor advises the
Trustee to keep such securities or property. The Depositor
may rely on the Portfolio Supervisor in so advising the
Trustee. The cash received in such exchange and cash
proceeds of any such sales shall be distributed to Unit
holders on the next distribution date in the manner set
forth in Section 3.05 regarding distributions from the
Capital Account. The Trustee shall not be liable or
responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by
reason of any such sale.
Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable
to any person for any action or failure to take action
pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.11.
Whenever new securities or property is received and
retained by a Trust pursuant to this Section 3.11, the
Trustee shall, within five days thereafter, mail to all Unit
holders of such Trust notices of such acquisition unless
legal counsel for such Trust determines that such notice is
not required by The Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended."
O. Section 3.05 of Article III of the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust is hereby amended to include the following
subsection:
"Section 3.05.I.(e) deduct from the Income Account or,
to the extent funds are not available in such Account, from
the Capital Account and pay to the Depositor the amount that
it is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.14.
P. Article III of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraphs
which shall be entitled Section 3.14.:
"Section 3.14. Bookkeeping and Administrative Expenses.
As compensation for providing bookkeeping and other
administrative services of a character described in
Section 26(a)(2)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to the
extent such services are in addition to, and do not
duplicate, the services to be provided hereunder by the
Trustee or the Portfolio Supervisor, the Depositor shall
receive against a statement or statements therefor submitted
to the Trustee monthly or annually an aggregate annual fee
in an amount which shall not exceed that amount set forth in
the Prospectus times the number of Units outstanding as of
January 1 of such year except for a year or years in which
an initial offering period as determined by Section 4.01 of
this Indenture occurs, in which case the fee for a month is
based on the number of Units outstanding at the end of such
month (such annual fee to be pro rated for any calendar year
in which the Depositor provides service during less than the
whole of such year), but in no event shall such compensation
when combined with all compensation received from other unit
investment trusts for which the Depositor hereunder is
acting as Depositor for providing such bookkeeping and
administrative services in any calendar year exceed the
aggregate cost to the Depositor providing services to such
unit investment trusts. Such compensation may, from time to
time, be adjusted provided that the total adjustment upward
does not, at the time of such adjustment, exceed the
percentage of the total increase, after the date hereof, in
consumer prices for services as measured by the United
States Department of Labor Consumer Price Index entitled
"All Services Less Rent of Shelter" or similar index, if
such index should no longer be published. The consent or
concurrence of any Unit holder hereunder shall not be
required for any such adjustment or increase. Such
compensation shall be paid by the Trustee, upon receipt of
invoice therefor from the Depositor, upon which, as to the
cost incurred by the Depositor of providing services
hereunder the Trustee may rely, and shall be charged against
the Income and Capital Accounts on or before the
Distribution Date following the Monthly Record Date on which
such period terminates. The Trustee shall have no liability
to any Certificateholder or other person for any payment
made in good faith pursuant to this Section.
If the cash balance in the Income and Capital Accounts
shall be insufficient to provide for amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 3.14, the Trustee shall have the
power to sell (i) Securities from the current list of
Securities designated to be sold pursuant to Section 5.02
hereof, or (ii) if no such Securities have been so
designated, such Securities as the Trustee may see fit to
sell in its own discretion, and to apply the proceeds of any
such sale in payment of the amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 3.14.
Any moneys payable to the Depositor pursuant to this
Section 3.14 shall be secured by a prior lien on the Trust
Fund except that no such lien shall be prior to any lien in
favor of the Trustee under the provisions of Section 6.04
herein.
Q. Article III of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraph
which shall be entitled Section 3.15:
"Section 3.15. Deferred Sales Charge. If the
prospectus related to the Trust specifies a deferred sales
charge, the Trustee shall, on the dates specified in and as
permitted by such Prospectus (the "Deferred Sales Charge
Payment Dates"), withdraw from the Capital Account, an
amount per Unit specified in such Prospectus and credit such
amount to a special non-Trust account designated by the
Depositor out of which the deferred sales charge will be
distributed to or on the order of the Depositor on such
Deferred Sales Charge Payment Dates (the "Deferred Sales
Charge Account"). If the balance in the Capital Account is
insufficient to make such withdrawal, the Trustee shall, as
directed by the Depositor, advance funds in an amount
required to fund the proposed withdrawal and be entitled to
reimbursement of such advance upon the deposit of additional
monies in the Capital Account, and/or sell Securities and
credit the proceeds thereof to the Deferred Sales Charge
Account, provided, however, that the aggregate amount
advanced by the Trustee at any time for payment of the
deferred sales charge shall not exceed $15,000. Such
direction shall, if the Trustee is directed to sell a
Security, identify the Security to be sold and include
instructions as to the execution of such sale. In the
absence of such direction by the Depositor, the Trustee
shall sell Securities sufficient to pay the deferred sales
charge (and any unreimbursed advance then outstanding) in
full, and shall select Securities to be sold in such manner
as will maintain (to the extent practicable) the relative
proportion of number of shares of each Security then held.
The proceeds of such sales, less any amounts paid to the
Trustee in reimbursement of its advances, shall be credited
to the Deferred Sales Charge Account. If a Unit holder
redeems Units prior to full payment of the deferred sales
charge, the Trustee shall, if so provided in the related
Prospectus, on the Redemption Date, withhold from the
Redemption Price payable to such Unit holder an amount equal
to the unpaid portion of the deferred sales charge and
distribute such amount to the Deferred Sales Charge Account.
If the Trust is terminated for reasons other than that set
forth in Section 6.01(g)(ii), the Trustee shall, if so
provided in the related Prospectus, on the termination of
the Trust, withhold from the proceeds payable to Unit
holders an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the
deferred sales charge and distribute such amount to the
Deferred Sales Charge Account. If the Trust is terminated
pursuant to Section 6.01(g)(ii), the Trustee shall not
withhold from the proceeds payable to Unit holders any
amounts of unpaid deferred sales charges. If pursuant to
Section 5.02 hereof, the Depositor shall purchase a Unit
tendered for redemption prior to the payment in full of the
deferred sales charge due on the tendered Unit, the
Depositor shall pay to the Unit holder the amount specified
under Section 5.02 less the unpaid portion of the deferred
sales charge. All advances made by the Trustee pursuant to
this Section shall be secured by a lien on the Trust prior
to the interest of the Unit holders."
R. Section 5.02 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust is amended by adding the following after the second
paragraph of such section:
"Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
the event that any tender of Units pursuant to this Section
5.02 would result in the disposition by the Trustee of less
than a whole Security, the Trustee shall distribute cash in
lieu thereof and sell such Securities as directed by the
Sponsors as required to make such cash available.
Subject to the restrictions set forth in the
Prospectus, Unit holders of the Trust may redeem 2,500 Units
or more of the Trust and request a distribution in kind of
(i) such Unit holder's pro rata portion of each of the
Securities in such Trust, in whole shares, and (ii) cash
equal to such Unit holder's pro rata portion of the Income
and Capital Accounts as follows: (x) a pro rata portion of
the net proceeds of sale of the Securities representing any
fractional shares included in such Unit holder's pro rata
share of the Securities and (y) such other cash as may
properly be included in such Unit holder's pro rata share of
the sum of the cash balances of the Income and Principal
Accounts in an amount equal to the Unit Value determined on
the basis of a Trust Fund Evaluation made in accordance with
Section 5.01 determined by the Trustee on the date of tender
less amounts determined in clauses (i) and (ii)(x) of this
Section. Subject to Section 5.05 with respect to Rollover
Unit holders, to the extent possible, distributions of
Securities pursuant to an in kind redemption of Units shall
be made by the Trustee through the distribution of each of
the Securities in book-entry form to the account of the Unit
holder's bank or broker-dealer at the Depository Trust
Company. Any distribution in kind will be reduced by
customary transfer and registration charges."
S. The following Section 5.05 shall be added:
"Section 5.05. Rollover of Units. (a) If the
Depositor shall offer a subsequent series of the Trust (the
"New Series"), the Trustee shall, at the Depositor's sole
cost and expense, include in the notice sent to Unit holders
specified in Section 8.02 a form of election whereby Unit
holders, whose redemption distribution would be in an amount
sufficient to purchase at least one Unit of the New Series,
may elect to have their Units(s) redeemed in kind in the
manner provided in Section 5.02, the Securities included in
the redemption distribution sold, and the cash proceeds
applied by the Distribution Agent to purchase Units of a New
Series, all as hereinafter provided. The Trustee shall
honor properly completed election forms returned to the
Trustee, accompanied by any Certificate evidencing Units
tendered for redemption or a properly completed redemption
request with respect to uncertificated Units, by its close
of business on the Rollover Notification Date.
All Units so tendered by a Unit holder (a "Rollover
Unit holder") shall be redeemed and cancelled on the
Rollover Notification Date. Subject to payment by such
Rollover Unit holder of any tax or other governmental
charges which may be imposed thereon, such redemption is to
be made in kind pursuant to Section 5.02 by distribution of
cash and/or Securities to the Distribution Agent on the
Rollover Notification Date of the net asset value
(determined on the basis of the Trust Fund Evaluation as of
the Rollover Notification Date in accordance with
Section 4.01) multiplied by the number of Units being
redeemed (herein called the "Rollover Distribution"). Any
Securities that are made part of the Rollover Distribution
shall be valued for purposes of the redemption distribution
as of the Rollover Notification Date.
All Securities included in a Unit holder's Rollover
Distribution shall be sold by the Distribution Agent on the
Special Redemption and Liquidation Date specified in the
Prospectus pursuant to the Depositor's direction, and the
Distribution Agent shall employ the Depositor as broker in
connection with such sales. For such brokerage services,
the Depositor shall be entitled to compensation at its
customary rates, provided however, that its compensation
shall not exceed the amount authorized by applicable
Securities laws and regulations. The Depositor shall direct
that sales be made in accordance with the guidelines set
forth in the Prospectus under the heading "Special
Redemption, Liquidation and Investment in New Trusts."
Should the Depositor fail to provide direction, the
Distribution Agent shall sell the Securities in the manner
provided in the prospectus for " less liquid Equity
Securities." The Distribution Agent shall have no
responsibility for any loss or depreciation incurred by
reason of any sale made pursuant to this Section.
Upon each trade date for sales of Securities included
in the Rollover Unit holder's Rollover Distribution, the
Distribution Agent shall, as agent for such Rollover Unit
holder, enter into a contract with the Depositor to purchase
from the Depositor Units of a New Series (if any), at the
Depositor's public offering price for such Units on such
day, and at such reduced sales charge as shall be described
in the prospectus for such Trust. Such contract shall
provide for purchase of the maximum number of Units of a New
Series whose purchase price is equal to or less than the
cash proceeds held by the Distribution Agent for the Unit
holder on such day (including therein the proceeds
anticipated to be received in respect of Securities traded
on such day net of all brokerage fees, governmental charges
and any other expenses incurred in connection with such
sale), to the extent Units are available for purchase from
the Depositor. In the event a sale of Securities included
in the Rollover Unit holder's redemption distribution shall
not be consummated in accordance with its terms, the
Distribution Agent shall apply the cash proceeds held for
such Unit holder as of the settlement date for the purchase
of Units of a New Series to purchase the maximum number of
units which such cash balance will permit, and the Depositor
agrees that the settlement date for Units whose purchase was
not consummated as a result of insufficient funds will be
extended until cash proceeds from the Rollover Distribution
are available in a sufficient amount to settle such
purchase. If the Unit holder's Rollover Distribution will
produce insufficient cash proceeds to purchase all of the
Units of a New Series contracted for, the Depositor agrees
that the contract shall be rescinded with respect to the
Units as to which there was a cash shortfall without any
liability to the Rollover Unit holder or the Distribution
Agent. Any cash balance remaining after such purchase shall
be distributed within a reasonable time to the Rollover Unit
holder by check mailed to the address of such Unit holder on
the registration books of the Trustee. Units of a New Series
will be uncertificated unless and until the Rollover Unit
holder requests a certificate. Any cash held by the
Distribution Agent shall be held in a non-interest bearing
account which will be of benefit to the Distribution Agent
in accordance with normal banking procedures. Neither the
Trustee nor the Distribution Agent shall have any
responsibility or liability for loss or depreciation
resulting from any reinvestment made in accordance with this
paragraph, or for any failure to make such reinvestment in
the event the Depositor does not make Units available for
purchase.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor may,
in their discretion at any time, decide not to offer Trust
Series in the future, and if so, this Section 5.05
concerning the Rollover of Units shall be inoperative.
(c) The Distribution Agent shall receive no fees for
performing its duties hereunder. The Distribution Agent
shall, however, be entitled to receive indemnification and
reimbursement from the Trust for any and all expenses and
disbursements to the same extent as the Trustee is permitted
reimbursement hereunder."
T. Paragraph (g) of Section 6.01 of the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust is hereby amended by inserting the following
after the first word thereof:
"(i) the value of any Trust as shown by an evaluation
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof shall be less
than the lower of $2,000,000 or 20% of the total principal
amount of Securities deposited in such Trust, or (ii)"
U. Section 1.01(4) shall be amended to read as follows:
"(4) "Portfolio Supervisor" shall mean First Trust
Advisors L.P. and its successors in interest, or any
successor portfolio supervisor appointed as hereinafter
provided."
V. Section 1.01(3) shall be amended to read as follows:
"(3) "Evaluator" shall mean First Trust Advisors L.P.
and its successors in interest, or any successor evaluator
appointed as hereinafter provided."
W. The first sentence of Section 3.13. shall be amended to
read as follows:
"As compensation for providing supervisory portfolio
services under this Indenture, the Portfolio Supervisor
shall receive, in arrears, against a statement or statements
therefor submitted to the Trustee monthly or annually an
aggregate annual fee in an amount which shall not exceed
that amount as set forth in the Prospectus per Unit
outstanding as of January 1 of such year except for a Trust
during the year or years in which an initial offering period
as determined in Section 4.01 of this Indenture occurs, in
which case the fee for a month is based on the number of
Units outstanding at the end of such month (such annual fee
to be pro rated for any calendar year in which the Portfolio
Supervisor provides services during less than the whole of
such year), but in no event shall such compensation when
combined with all compensation received from other series of
the Trust for providing such supervisory services in any
calendar year exceed the aggregate cost to the Portfolio
Supervisor for the cost of providing such services."
X. Section 2.03(a) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be amended by adding the following sentence after the
first sentence of such section:
"The number of Units may be increased through a split
of the Units or decreased through a reverse split thereof,
as directed in writing by the Depositor, at any time when
the Depositor is the only beneficial holder of Units, which
revised number of Units shall be recorded by the Trustee on
its books. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the
Depositor's direction as certification that no person other
than the Depositor has a beneficial interest in the Units
and the Trustee shall have no liability to any person for
action taken pursuant to such direction."
Y. The following shall be added immediately following the
first sentence of paragraph (c) of Section 2.01:
"The Trustee may allow the Depositor to substitute any
Letter(s) of Credit deposited with the Trustee in connection
with the deposits described in Section 2.01(a) and (b) with
cash in an amount sufficient to satisfy the obligations to
which the Letter(s) of Credit relates. Any substituted
Letter(s) of Credit shall be released by the Trustee."
Z. Section 3.01 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:
"Section 3.01. Initial Cost. The expenses incurred in
establishing a Trust, including the cost of the preparation
and typesetting of the registration statement, prospectuses
(including preliminary prospectuses), the indenture and
other documents relating to the Trust, printing of
Certificates, Securities and Exchange Commission and state
blue sky registration fees, the costs of the initial
valuation of the portfolio and audit of the Trust, the
initial fees and expenses of the Trustee, and legal and
other out-of-pocket expenses related thereto, but not
including the expenses incurred in the printing of
preliminary prospectuses and prospectuses, expenses incurred
in the preparation and printing of brochures and other
advertising materials and any other selling expenses, to the
extent not borne by the Depositor, shall be borne by the
Trust. To the extent the funds in the Income and Capital
Accounts of the Trust shall be insufficient to pay the
expenses borne by the Trust specified in this Section 3.01,
the Trustee shall advance out of its own funds and cause to
be deposited and credited to the Income Account such amount
as may be required to permit payment of such expenses. The
Trustee shall be reimbursed for such advance on each Record
Date from funds on hand in the Income Account or, to the
extent funds are not available in such Account, from the
Capital Account, in the amount deemed to have accrued as of
such Record Date as provided in the following sentence (less
prior payments on account of such advances, if any), and the
provisions of Section 6.04 with respect to the reimbursement
of disbursements for Trust expenses, including, without
limitation, the lien in favor of the Trustee therefor and
the authority to sell Securities as needed to fund such
reimbursement, shall apply to the payment of expenses and
the amounts advanced pursuant to this Section. For the
purposes of the preceding sentence and the addition provided
in clause (4) of the first sentence of Section 5.01, the
expenses borne by the Trust pursuant to this Section shall
be deemed to have been paid on the date of the Trust
Agreement and to accrue at a daily rate over the time period
specified for their amortization provided in the Prospectus;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to
prevent, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, full
reimbursement for any advances made pursuant to this Section
no later than the termination of the Trust. For purposes of
calculating the accrual of organizational expenses under
this Section 3.01, the Trustee shall rely on the written
estimates of such expenses provided by the Depositor
pursuant to Section 5.01."
AA. Section 5.01 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be amended as follows:
(i) The first sentence of the first paragraph of
Section 5.01 shall be amended by deleting the phrase
"together with all other assets of the Trust" at the end of
such sentence and adding the following at the conclusion
thereof: ", plus (4) amounts representing organizational
expenses paid from the Trust less amounts representing
accrued organizational expenses of the Trust, plus (5) all
other assets of the Trust."
(ii) The following shall be added at the end of the
first paragraph of Section 5.01:
Until the Depositor has informed the Trustee that
there will be no further deposits of Additional
Securities pursuant to section 2.01(b), the Depositor
shall provide the Trustee with written estimates of (i)
the total organizational expenses to be borne by the
Trust pursuant to Section 3.01 and (ii) the total
number of Units to be issued in connection with the
initial deposit and all anticipated deposits of
additional Securities. For purposes of calculating the
Trust Fund Evaluation and Unit Value, the Trustee shall
treat all such anticipated expenses as having been paid
and all liabilities therefor as having been incurred,
and all Units as having been issued, in each case on
the date of the Trust Agreement, and, in connection
with each such calculation, shall take into account a
pro rata portion of such expense and liability based on
the actual number of Units issued as of the date of
such calculation. In the event the Trustee is informed
by the Depositor of a revision in its estimate of total
expenses or total Units and upon the conclusion of the
deposit of additional Securities, the Trustee shall
base calculations made thereafter on such revised
estimates or actual expenses, respectively, but such
adjustment shall not affect calculations made prior
thereto and no adjustment shall be made in respect
thereof.
BB. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections
3.15 and 4.05 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust, so
long as Nike Securities L.P. is acting as Depositor, the Trustee
shall have no power to remove the Portfolio Supervisor.
CC. Section 8.02 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of
Trust shall be amended as follows:
(i) The fourth sentence of the second paragraph shall
be deleted and replaced with the following:
"The Trustee will honor duly executed requests for in-
kind distributions received (accompanied by the electing
Unit holder's Certificate, if issued) by the close of
business ten business days prior to the Mandatory
Termination Date."
(ii) The first sentence of the fourth paragraph shall
be deleted and replaced with the following:
"Commencing no earlier than the business day following
that date on which Unit holders must submit to the Trustee
notice of their request to receive an in-kind distribution
of Securities at termination, the Trustee will liquidate the
Securities not segregated for in-kind distributions during
such period and in such daily amounts as the Depositor shall
direct."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Nike Securities L.P., The Chase
Manhattan Bank and First Trust Advisors L.P. have each caused
this Trust Agreement to be executed and the respective corporate
seal to be hereto affixed and attested (if applicable) by
authorized officers; all as of the day, month and year first
above written.
