The Assets shall consist only of cash (United States legal tender) and Eligible Securities (as hereinafter defined). All Assets shall be maintained by the Trustee in the Trust Account separate and distinct from all other assets on the books of the Trustee and in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement. In the event of any payment default as to any Asset in the Trust Account or in the event that any Asset is no longer an Eligible Security, the Grantor shall, within five (5) business days after receiving notice from the Trustee, or the Grantor having knowledge of such default or ineligibility, substitute other Assets which meet the requirements of an Eligible Security, and having a current fair market value equal to the impaired Assets.
