PEA 42 was filed in an effort to extend the effectiveness of PEA 41 to February 1, 2013.

Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 478 under the 1933 Act, this application for withdrawal of PEA No. 42 filed on January 28, 2013 has been signed by the President of the Trust this 30th day of January 2013.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding this request.  If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Elaine E. Richards, Esq. at (626) 914-7363.
