1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribedthereto in the Agreement.

“WM/Reuters” means the joint venture of The WMCompany PLC and Thomson Reuters. 

c. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting thedefined term “Relevant Price” and substituting the following in lieu thereof: 

“RelevantPrice” means the Closing Spot Rate, except as provided below. If, on a particular evaluation date, WM/Reuters does not announce a Closing Spot Rate by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent WM/Reuters determination of the Closing Spot Ratewill be the “Relevant Price” and be used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, 

determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for such valuation.
