(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

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:

(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

(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)

(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.

(d)

(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.

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.
