9. Section 3.15 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust is hereby
replaced in its entirety by the following:
Section 3.15. Deferred Sales Charge. If the Prospectus related to
the Trust specifies a deferred sale charge, the Trustee shall, on each
Deferred Sales Charge Payment Date and as permitted by such
Prospectus, withdraw from the Capital Account an amount per Unit equal
to the Deferred Sales Charge Payment 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
balance in the Capital Account is insufficient to make any such
withdrawal, the Trustee shall, as directed by the Depositor, either
advance funds in an amount equal to the proposed withdrawal and be
entitled to reimbursement of such advance upon the deposit of
additional moneys in the Capital Account, sell Securities and credit
the proceeds thereof to such special Depositor's account or credit (if
permitted by law) Securities in kind to such special Depositor's
Account. If a Unitholder redeems Units prior to full payment of the
deferred sales charge, the Trustee shall, if so provided in the
related Prospectus, on the Redemption Date, withhold from the
Redemption Price payable to such Unitholder an amount equal to the
unpaid portion of the deferred sales charge and distribute such amount
to such special Depositor's Account. The Depositor may at any time
instruct the Trustee in writing to distribute to the Depositor cash or
Securities previously credited to the special Depositor's account.
Amounts to be credited to the special Depositor's account with respect
to each Deferred Sales Charge Payment are due and payable to the
Depositor on the related Deferred Sales Charge Payment Date.
The term "Deferred Sales Charge Payment Dates" shall mean the
10th day of each month beginning March 10, 2000 and continuing through

Business Day, that Deferred Sales Charge Payment Date shall be deemed
to be the next business day. The term "Deferred Sales Charge Payment"
shall mean a fraction of the total maximum deferred sales charge
specified in the Prospectus, the numerator of which is one and the
denominator of which is equal to the total number of Deferred Sales
Charge Payment Dates.
