14. Section 3.07(a)(xiii) of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall

company" as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

of any income or excise taxes on the Trust or on undistributed income in the
Trust; or

Unitholders would be a direct or indirect shareholder of a passive foreign

15. If a Trust has elected to be treated as a "regulated investment company"
as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
first two sentences in the second paragraph of Section 3.11 of the Standard
Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be replaced in their entirety with the
following:
"In the event that an offer by the issuer of any of the Securities or any
other party shall be made to issue new securities, or to exchange securities,
for Trust Securities, the Trustee shall at the direction of the Depositor, vote
for or against, or accept or reject, any offer for new or exchanged securities
or property in exchange for a Trust Security. Should any issuance, exchange or
substitution be effected, any securities, cash and/or property received shall be
deposited hereunder and shall be promptly sold, if securities or property, by
the Trustee pursuant to the Depositor's direction, unless the Depositor advises
the Trustee to keep such securities or property."
16. If the Trust has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company"

"(a) The Replacement Securities shall be Zero Coupon Obligations or Equity
Securities as originally selected for deposit in the Trust or securities which
the Depositor determines to be similar in character as Securities originally
selected for deposit in the Trust, and any Replacement Securities which are Zero
Coupon Obligations must have the same maturity value as the Failed Contract
Security and, as close as is reasonably practical, the same maturity date, which
must be on or prior to the Mandatory Termination Date;"
17. The Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be amended to include
the following section:
"Section 3.19. Regulated Investment Company Election. If the Prospectus for a
Trust states that such Trust intends to elect to be treated and to qualify as a
"regulated investment company" as defined in the United States Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, the Trustee is hereby directed to make such elections
and take all actions, including any appropriate election to be taxed as a
corporation, as shall be necessary to effect such qualification or to provide
funds to make any distribution for a taxable year in order to avoid imposition
of any income or excise tax on the Trust or on undistributed income in the
Trust. The Trustee shall make such reviews of each Trust portfolio as shall be
necessary to maintain qualification of a particular Trust as regulated
investment company and to avoid imposition of tax on a Trust or undistributed
income in a Trust, and the Depositor and Supervisor shall be authorized to rely
conclusively upon such reviews."
18. Sections 5.01(b) and (c) are replaced in their entirety by the following:
"(b) During the initial offering period of a Trust (as determined by the
Depositor), the Evaluation for each Security shall be made in the following
manner: (i) with respect to Securities for which market quotations are readily
available, such Evaluation shall be made on the basis of the market value of
such Securities; and (ii) with respect to other Securities' such Evaluation
shall be made on the basis of the fair value of such Securities as determined in
good faith by the Trustee. If the Securities are listed on a national or foreign
securities exchange or traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. and market
quotations of such Securities are readily available, the market value of such
Securities shall generally be based on the last available closing sale price on
or immediately prior to the Evaluation Time on the exchange or market which is
the principal market therefor, which shall be deemed to be the New York Stock
Exchange if the Securities are listed thereon. In the case of Zero Coupon
Obligations, such Evaluation shall be made on the basis of current offer side
prices for the Zero Coupon Obligations as obtained from investment dealers or
brokers who customarily deal in securities comparable to those held by the Trust
and, if offer side prices are not available for the Zero Coupon Obligations, on
the basis of offer side price for comparable securities, by determining the
valuation of the Zero Coupon Obligations on the offer side of the market by
appraisal or by any combination of the above. If the Trust holds Securities
denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Evaluation of such
Security shall be converted to U.S. dollars based on current offering side
exchange rates (unless the Trustee deems such prices inappropriate as a basis
for valuation). For each Evaluation, the Trustee shall also confirm and furnish
to the Depositor the calculation of the Trust Evaluation to be computed pursuant
to Section 6.01.
(c) After the initial offering period of Units of a Trust (as determined by
the Depositor), Evaluation of the Securities shall be made in the manner
described in Section 5.01(b) on the basis of current bid side prices for Zero
Coupon Obligations and the bid side value of any relevant currency exchange rate
expressed in U.S. dollars."
19. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust and unless the Depositor instructs otherwise, if the Trustee
sells, redeems or otherwise liquidates Securities pursuant to Section 6.02 to
satisfy Unit redemptions, the Trustee shall do so, as nearly as practicable, on
a pro rata basis among all Securities held by the Trust.
20. The seventh paragraph of Section 6.02 is hereby replaced in its entirety
with the following:
"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.02, if the
Prospectus for a Trust provides for in kind distribution of Securities in
connection with Unit redemptions and a Unitholder tenders at least the minimum
number of Units stated in such Prospectus for redemption, a Unitholder may
request at the time of tender to receive from the Trustee in lieu of cash such
Unitholder's pro rata share of each Security then held by such Trust, provided
that the Security is principally traded in the United States if such limitation
is set forth in the Prospectus for the Trust. Such tendering Unitholder will
receive his pro rata number of whole shares of each of such Securities
comprising the portfolio of such Trust and cash from the Capital Account equal
to the value of the fractional shares and any Securities principally traded
outside the United States to which such tendering Unitholder is entitled and in
the case of an Equity and Treasury Trust such Unitholder's pro rata share of the
Zero Coupon Obligations held by such Trust. Such pro rata share of each Security
and the related cash to which such tendering Unitholder is entitled is referred
to herein as an "In Kind Distribution." An In Kind Distribution will be made by
the Trustee through the distribution of each of the Securities in book-entry
form to the account of the Unitholder's bank or broker-dealer at Depository
Trust Company. If funds in the Capital Account are insufficient to cover the
required cash distribution to the tendering Unitholder, the Trustee may sell
Securities according to the criteria discussed herein.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if a Unitholder electing an In Kind
Distribution is an Affiliated Redeeming Unitholder, as such term is defined
below, such In Kind Distribution shall be permitted subject to the following
conditions:
(a) The In Kind Distribution shall be consistent with the Trust's redemption
policies and undertakings, as set forth in the Trust's Prospectus;
(b) Neither the Affiliated Redeeming Unitholder, nor any other party with the
ability and the pecuniary incentive to influence the In Kind Distribution, may
select, or influence the selection of, the distributed Securities;
(c) Upon an In Kind Distribution by the Affiliated Redeeming Unitholder, the
Trustee shall distribute to the Affiliated Redeeming Unitholder its
proportionate share of every Security in the Trust's portfolio, provided that if
the Trustee is not an affiliated person (as the term "affiliated person" is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Affiliated
Redeeming Unitholder, the Trustee may exclude Discretionary Assets (as defined
below) from the In Kind Distribution to the extent that the Trustee cannot
practicably distribute such Discretionary Assets without undue burden or adverse
impact to the Trust or its Unitholders. If the Trustee determines that it is
impracticable to distribute the Discretionary Assets in kind, the Trustee shall
sell or liquidate the Discretionary Assets to raise funds to satisfy the
redemption, provided that if the Trustee cannot sell or liquidate the
Discretionary Assets, the Trustee may sell or liquidate other Securities;
(d) The In Kind Distribution may not favor the Affiliated Redeeming
Unitholder to the detriment of any other Unitholder;
(e) The Trustee shall monitor each In Kind Distribution on a quarterly basis
for compliance with all provisions of this Section 6.02; and
(f) The Trustee shall maintain and preserve for a period of not less than six
years from the end of the fiscal year in which the In Kind Distribution occurs,
the first two years in an easily accessible place, records for each In Kind
Distribution setting forth the identity of the Affiliated Redeeming Unitholder,
a description of the composition of the Trust's portfolio (including each
asset's value) immediately prior to the In Kind Distribution, a description of
each Security distributed in-kind, the terms of the In Kind Distribution, the
information or materials upon which the asset valuations were made, and a
description of the composition of the Trust's portfolio (including each asset's
value) one month after the In Kind Distribution.
The term "Affiliated Redeeming Unitholder" shall mean an affiliated person or
a promoter of or a principal underwriter for the Trust, or an affiliated person
of such a person, promoter or principal underwriter. The terms "affiliated
person," "promoter" and "principal underwriter" as used in the preceding
sentence shall have the meanings assigned to each such term in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The term "Discretionary Assets" shall mean (i) securities that, if
distributed, would be required to be registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended; (ii) securities issued by entities in countries that (A)
restrict or prohibit the holding of securities by non-nationals other than
through qualified investment vehicles, or (B) permit transfers of ownership of
securities to be effected only by transactions conducted on a local stock
exchange; and (iii) any assets that, although they may be liquid and marketable,
must be traded through the marketplace or with the counterparty to the
transaction in order to effect a change in beneficial ownership.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust, if a Trust has not elected to be treated as a "regulated investment
company" as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, no Unitholder may elect to have Units redeemed through an In Kind
Distribution within thirty (30) days of any Trust termination."
21. The second sentence of Section 7.01(e)(2)(E) shall be replaced in its
entirety by "Such Prospectus shall also contain disclosure concerning the
Depositor's responsibilities described in (D) above."
22. The Trustee's annual compensation rate described in Section 7.04 shall be
that amount set forth under "Trustee's fee and operating expenses" in the "Fee
Table" in the applicable Prospectus.
23. Section 9.01 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
replaced in its entirety with the following:
"Section 9.01. Amendments. (a) This Indenture may be amended from time to
time by the Depositor and Trustee or their respective successors, without the
consent of any of the Unitholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or
supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent
with any other provision contained herein, (ii) to make such other provision in
regard to matters or questions arising hereunder as shall not materially
adversely affect the interests of the Unitholders or (iii) to make such
amendments as may be necessary (a) for the Trust to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes if the Trust has
elected to be taxed as such under the United States Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, or (b) to prevent the Trust from being deemed an association
taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes if the Trust has not
elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This Indenture may not be amended,
however, without the consent of all Unitholders then outstanding, so as (1) to
permit, except in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the
acquisition hereunder of any Securities other than those specified in the
Schedules to the Trust Agreement or (2) to reduce the aforesaid percentage of
Units the holders of which are required to consent to certain of such
amendments. This Indenture may not be amended so as to reduce the interest in a
Trust represented by Units (whether evidenced by Certificates or held in
uncertificated form) without the consent of all affected Unitholders.
(b) Except for the amendments, changes or modifications as provided in
Section 9.01(a) hereof, neither the parties hereto nor their respective
successors shall consent to any other amendment, change or modification of this
Indenture without the giving of notice and the obtaining of the approval or
consent of Unitholders representing at least 66 2/3% of the Units then
outstanding of the affected Trust. Nothing contained in this Section 9.01(b)
shall permit, or be construed as permitting, a reduction of the aggregate
percentage of Units the holders of which are required to consent to any
amendment, change or modification of this Indenture without the consent of the
Unitholders of all of the Units then outstanding of the affected Trust and in no
event may any amendment be made which would (1) alter the rights to the
Unitholders as against each other, (2) provide the Trustee with the power to
engage in business or investment activities other than as specifically provided
in this Indenture, (3) adversely affect the tax status of the Trust for federal
income tax purposes or result in the Units being deemed to be sold or exchanged
for federal income tax purposes or (4) unless the Trust has elected to be taxed
as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes, result in a
variation of the investment of Unitholders in the Trust.
(c) Unless the Depositor directs that other notice shall be provided, the
Trustee shall include in the annual report provided pursuant to Section 3.06
notification of the substance of such amendment."
24. Section 9.02 of the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust shall be
replaced in its entirety with the following:
"Section 9.02. Termination. This Indenture and each Trust created hereby
shall terminate upon the maturity, redemption, sale or other disposition as the
case may be of the last Security held in such Trust hereunder unless sooner
terminated as hereinbefore specified, and may be terminated at any time by the
written consent of Unitholders representing at least 66 2/3% of the Units of the
Trust then outstanding; provided that in no event shall any Trust continue
beyond the Mandatory Termination Date. Upon the date of termination the
registration books of the Trustee shall be closed.
In the event of a termination, the Trustee shall proceed to liquidate the
Securities then held and make the payments and distributions provided for
hereinafter in this Section 9.02 based on such Unitholder's pro rata interest in
the balance of the Capital and Income Accounts after the deductions herein
provided. Written notice shall be given by the Trustee in connection with any
termination to each Unitholder at his address appearing on the registration
books of the Trustee and in connection with a Mandatory Termination Date such
notice shall be given no later than 45 days before the Mandatory Termination
Date. Included with such notice shall be a form to enable Unitholders owning
that number of Units referred to in the Prospectus to request an In Kind
Distribution (as described in Section 6.02) during the period ending 31 days
prior to date of the related Trust's termination. No Unitholder shall be
permitted to have Units redeemed through an In Kind Distribution within 30 days
of any Trust termination.
The Trustee will liquidate the Securities then held, if any, in such daily
amounts as the Depositor shall direct. The Depositor shall direct the
liquidation of the Securities in such manner as to effectuate orderly sales and
a minimal market impact. In the event the Depositor does not so direct, the
Securities shall be sold within a reasonable period and in such manner as the
Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The Trustee shall not be
liable for or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason
of any sale or sales made in accordance with the Depositor's direction or, in
the absence of such direction, in the exercise of the discretion granted by this
Section 9.02. The Trustee shall deduct from the proceeds of these sales and pay
any tax or governmental charges and any brokerage commissions in connection with
such sales. Amounts received by the Trustee representing the proceeds from the
sales of Securities shall be credited to the related Capital Account.
Not later than the fifth Business Day following receipt of all proceeds of
sale of the Securities, the Trustee shall:
(a) deduct from the Income Account of such Trust or, to the extent that funds
are not available in such Account of such Trust, from the Capital Account of
such Trust, and pay to itself individually an amount equal to the sum of (i) its
accrued compensation for its ordinary recurring services, (ii) any compensation
due it for its extraordinary services in connection with such Trust, and (iii)
any costs, expenses or indemnities in connection with such Trust as provided
herein;
(b) deduct from the Income Account of such Trust or, to the extent that funds
are not available in such Account, from the Capital Account of such Trust, and
pay accrued and unpaid fees of the Depositor, the Supervisor and counsel in
connection with such Trust, if any;
(c) deduct from the Income Account of such Trust or the Capital Account of
such Trust any amounts which may be required to be deposited in the Reserve
Account and any other amounts which may be required to meet expenses incurred
under this Indenture in connection with such Trust;
(d) make final distributions from such Trust, against surrender for
cancellation of all of each Unitholder's Certificate or Certificates, if issued,
as follows:
(i) to each Unitholder, such Unitholder's pro rata share of the cash balances
of the Income and Capital Accounts; and
(ii) on the conditions set forth in Section 3.04 hereof, to each Unitholder
such Unitholder's pro rata share of the balance of the Reserve Account; and
(e) within 60 days after the distribution to each Unitholder as provided for
in (d), furnish to each such Unitholder a final distribution statement, setting
forth the data and information in substantially the form and manner provided for
in Section 3.06 hereof.
The Trustee shall be under no liability with respect to moneys held by it in
the Income, Reserve and Capital Accounts of a Trust upon termination except to
hold the same in trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
without interest until disposed of in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Trust Agreement to be
executed; all as of the day, month and year first above written.
