F. The following new Section 3.13 is added:
Section 3.13. EXTRAORDINARY EVENT - SECURITY
RETENTION AND VOTING. In the event the Trustee is
notified of any action to be taken or proposed to be taken
by holders of the securities held by the Trust in
connection with any proposed merger, reorganization, spin-
off, split-off or split-up by the issuer of stock or
securities held in the Trust, the Trustee shall take such
action or refrain from taking any action, as appropriate,
so as to insure that the securities are voted as closely
as possible in the same manner and in the same general
proportion as are the securities held by owners other than
the Trust. If stock or securities are received by the
Trustee, with or without cash, as a result of any merger,
reorganization, spin-off, split-off or split-up by the
issuer of stock or securities held in the Trust, the
Trustee at the direction of the Depositor may retain such
stock or securities in the Trust. Neither the Depositor
nor the Trustee shall be liable to any person for any
action or failure to take action with respect to this
section.
G. Section 1.01 is amended to add the following
definition: (9) "Deferred Sales Charge" shall mean any
deferred sales charge payable in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.14 hereof, as set forth in the
prospectus for a Trust. Definitions following this
definition (9) shall be renumbered.
H. Section 3.05 is hereby amended to add the
following paragraph after the end thereof: On each
Deferred Sales Charge payment date set forth in the
prospectus for a Trust, the Trustee shall pay the account
created pursuant to Section 3.14 the amount of the
Deferred Sales Charge payable on each such date as stated
in the prospectus for a Trust. Such amount shall be
withdrawn from the
Principal Account from the amounts therein designated for
such purpose.
I. Section 3.06B(3) shall be amended by adding the
following: "and any Deferred Sales Charge paid".
J. Section 3.08 shall be amended by adding the
following at the end thereof: "In order to pay the
Deferred Sales Charge, the Trustee shall sell or liquidate
an amount of Securities at such time and from time to time
and in such manner as the Depositor shall direct such that
the proceeds of such sale or liquidation shall equal the
amount required to be paid to the Depositor pursuant to
the Deferred Sales Charge program as set forth in the
prospectus for a Trust.
K. Section 3.14 shall be added as follows:
Section 3.14. DEFERRED SALES CHARGE. If the
prospectus for a Trust specifies a Deferred Sales Charge,
the Trustee shall, on the dates specified in and as
permitted by the prospectus, withdraw from the Income
Account if such account is designated in the prospectus as
the source of the payments of the Deferred Sales Charge,
or to the extent funds are not available in that account
or if such account is not so designated, from the
Principal Account, an amount per Unit specified in the
prospectus and credit such amount to a special, non-Trust
account maintained at the Trustee out of which the
Deferred Sales Charge will be distributed to the
Depositor. If the Income Account is not designated as the
source of the Deferred Sales Charge payment or if the
balances in the Income and Principal Accounts are
insufficient to make any such withdrawal, the Trustee
shall, as directed by the Depositor, either advance funds,
if so agreed to by the Trustee, in an amount equal to the
proposed withdrawal and be entitled to reimbursement of
such advance upon the deposit of additional monies in the
Income Account or the Principal Account, sell Securities
and credit the proceeds thereof to such special
Depositor's account or credit Securities in kind to such
special Depositor's Account. Such directions shall
identify the Securities, if any, to be sold or distributed
in kind and shall contain, if the Trustee is directed by
the Depositor to sell a Security, instructions as to
execution of such sales. If a Unit Holder redeems Units
prior to full payment of the Deferred Sales Charge, the
Trustee shall, if so provided in the prospectus, on the
Redemption Date, withhold from the Redemption Price
payment to such Unit Holder an amount equal to the unpaid
portion of the Deferred Sales Charge and distribute such
amount to such special Depositor's account or, if the
Depositor shall purchase such Unit pursuant to the terms
of Section 5.02 hereof, the Depositor shall pay the
Redemption Price for such Unit less the unpaid portion of
the Deferred Sales Charge. The Depositor may at any time
instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Depositor cash
or Securities previously credited to the special
Depositor's account.
L. The following new Section 3.15 is added:
Section 3.15. FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS;
RECLAIMING FOREIGN TAXES. (a) For any Trust holding
Securities denominated in a currency other than U.S.
dollars, the Depositor shall direct the Trustee with
respect to the circumstances under which foreign exchange
transactions are to be entered into and calculations under
this Indenture are to be made, in order to convert amounts
receivable in respect of the Securities in foreign
currencies into U.S. dollars.
(b) The Trustee shall take such reasonable action as the
Depositor shall direct or, if not so directed, use
reasonable efforts to reclaim or recoup any amounts of non-
U.S. tax paid by the Trust or withheld from income
received by the Trust to which the Trust may be entitled
as a refund.
M. The following paragraphs are inserted after the
first paragraph in Section 4.01:
"With respect to foreign securities, each Security
listed on a securities exchange will be valued at
the last closing sale price on the relevant stock
exchange or if no such price exists at the closing
offer price thereof.
If the Trust holds securities denominated in a
currency other than U.S. dollars, the
evaluations shall be converted to U.S. dollars
based, during the initial offering period, on
the offering side of the relevant currency exchange
rate, and subsequent to such period, on the bid side
of the relevant exchange rate, including the
cost of a forward foreign exchange contract in
the relevant currency to correspond to the
Trustee's settlement requirement for redemption
requests as quoted to the Trustee by one or more
banks designated by the Depositor, unless the
Security is in the form of an American
depositary share or receipt, in which case the
evaluations shall be based upon the U.S. dollar
prices in the market for American depositary
shares or receipts (unless the Trustee deems
such prices inappropriate as a basis for
valuation)."
