The Sponsor and the Trustees hereby agree as follows:

instrument of the Trust. The Trustees are hereby authorized, empowered and directed to execute and

Agreement, the Trustees shall not have any duty or obligation hereunder or with respect to the
trust estate other than (i) the execution of the Certificate of Trust and (ii) the

 

 

receipt and holding in trust of $10 as the initial trust estate. The Sponsor, as agent for the

permitted by applicable law, such duties and liabilities are replaced by the duties and liabilities

          8. (a) The Trustees (the “Fiduciary Indemnified Persons”) shall not be liable, responsible
or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust, the Sponsor, any other Trustee or any holder
of the Trust Securities for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission
performed or omitted by the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons in good faith on behalf of the Trust and
in a manner the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons reasonably believed to be within the scope of
authority conferred on the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons by this Trust Agreement or by law, except
that the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred
by reason of the Fiduciary Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
with respect to such acts or omissions.

          (b) The Fiduciary Indemnified Persons shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon
the records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to
the Trust by any person as to matters the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons reasonably believe are
within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with
reasonable care by or on behalf of the Trust, including information, opinions, reports or
statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other
facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to holders of Trust
Securities might properly be paid.

          9. The Sponsor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,

          (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each Fiduciary Indemnified Person, or any of its officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, representatives or agents, from and against any

3

 

loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred
by the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons by reason of the creation, operation or termination of the
Trust in a manner the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons reasonably believed to be within the scope of
authority conferred on the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons by this Trust Agreement, except that no
Fiduciary Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or
claim incurred by the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons by reason of gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; and

          (b) to advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by a Fiduciary
Indemnified Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, from time to time,
prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt by
the Trust of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Fiduciary Indemnified Persons to repay such
amount if it shall be determined that such Fiduciary Indemnified Person is not entitled to be
indemnified as authorized in the preceding subsection. Promptly after receipt by a Fiduciary
Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any action, such Fiduciary Indemnified Person
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Sponsor under this Section 9, notify
the Sponsor in writing of the commencement thereof, provided that failure to give such prompt
notice shall not impair the obligations of the Sponsor hereunder except to the extent that such
failure to provide notice materially prejudices the Sponsor. The Sponsor shall be entitled to
appoint counsel of the Sponsor’s choice at the Sponsor’s expense to represent the Fiduciary
Indemnified Persons in any action for which indemnification is sought; provided, however, that such
counsel shall be satisfactory to the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons. The Sponsor will not, without
the prior written consent of the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons, settle or compromise or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes an unconditional release of each Fiduciary Indemnified Person from all liability
arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

          10. The provisions of Section 8 and Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Trust
Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons.

          11. The Trust may terminate without issuing any Trust Securities at the election of the
Sponsor and shall terminate if no Trust Securities shall have been issued within six months from
the date hereof.

          12. This Trust Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts.

          13. This Trust Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights and remedies shall
be governed by such laws without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.

behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority
conferred on such member or Officer by this Agreement, except that no member of the Company or
Officer shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by

liability on account thereof.

Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the resignation, and,
immediately following such admission, the resigning member shall cease to be a member of the
Company.

     21. Admission of Additional Members. One (1) or more additional members of the
Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Member.

     22. Dissolution.

               a. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of
the following: (i) the written consent of the Member, (ii) the retirement, resignation or
dissolution of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which
terminates the continued membership of such member in the Company unless the business of the
Company is continued in a manner permitted by the Act, or (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial
dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

               b. The bankruptcy of the Member will not cause the Member to cease to be a member of the
