 RECITAL OF THE SPONSOR 
 WHEREAS, the Trustees have heretofore duly declared and established a statutory trust (the “Trust”), pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act by entering into that certain Declaration of

Trust attached to the Declaration as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Trust”); 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to
Section 12.2(a) of the Declaration, the Sponsor as the Holder of all of the Common Securities of the Trust, and the Regular Trustees may amend the Declaration without the consent of any Holder of the HITS, the Property Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, for the purpose of conforming the terms of the Declaration to the descriptions of the Declaration and the Trust Securities in that certain Prospectus of the Sponsor and the Trust, dated as of May 5, 2006, as supplemented by that
certain Prospectus Supplement, dated as of February 12, 2007, relating to the offering of certain interests in the Trust (the “Prospectus”); 
 WHEREAS, Section 5.14(e)(i)(w)(A) of the Declaration requires that, following a Successful Remarketing, the net Proceeds from the sale of the Notes for which no Contingent Exchange Election has been
made be used to purchase Qualifying Treasury Securities for deposit in the Collateral Account; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the
descriptions of the Declaration and the Trust Securities in the Prospectus, following a Successful Remarketing, the net Proceeds from the sale of the Notes for which no Contingent Exchange Election has been made shall be remitted to the Collateral
Agent, whereupon the Collateral Agent will deposit such proceeds to the account constituting the Bank of America Deposit; 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto propose to make certain amendments to the Declaration that, in conformity with the terms of the Prospectus,
would eliminate the aforementioned requirement in the Declaration of the purchase of Qualifying Treasury Securities and instead require that such Proceeds be remitted to the Collateral Agent for deposit in the account constituting the Bank of
America Deposit; 







 WHEREAS, in connection with such proposed amendments, additional amendments to the
Declaration are necessary to ensure that the Securities Intermediary receives proper notice in the event of a Successful Remarketing in order to fully perform its obligations thereunder; 

WHEREAS, the Sponsor desires and hereby directs the Trustees to enter into this Amendment to amend certain provisions of the Declaration
as provided herein (collectively, the “Declaration Amendments”); 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the
agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Declaration is hereby amended as follows:
