not used by the Trustee to purchase such Securities within
the 90-day period following the first deposit of Securi-
ties in the Trust, shall be distributed to Unit Holders on
the Distribution Date next following such 90-day period or
such earlier date as the Depositor and the Trustee deter-
mine".

add the following language after "Securities"))": "and/or
cash (or a letter of credit in lieu of cash) with instruc-
tions to the Trustee to purchase one or more Additional

used by the Trustee to purchase such Additional Securities
within the 90-day period following the first deposit of
Securities in the Trust, shall be distributed to Unit
Holders on the Distribution Date next following such 90-
day period or such earlier date as the Depositor and the
Trustee determine".
C. Article III, entitled "Administration of Trust",
Section 3.01 Initial Cost shall be amended as follows:
Section 3.01 Initial Cost shall be amended to
substitute the following language:
Section 3.01. Initial Cost The costs of organizing
the Trust and sale of the Trust Units shall, to the extent
of the expenses reimbursable to the Depositor provided be-
low, be borne by the Unit Holders, provided, however,
that, to the extent all of such costs are not borne by
Unit Holders, the amount of such costs not borne by Unit
Holders shall be borne by the Depositor and, provided fur-
ther, however, that the liability on the part of the De-
positor under this section shall not include any fees or
other expenses incurred in connection with the administra-
tion of the Trust subsequent to the deposit referred to in
Section 2.01. Upon notification from the Depositor that
the primary offering period is concluded, the Trustee
shall withdraw from the Account or Accounts specified in
the Prospectus or, if no Account is therein specified,
from the Principal Account, and pay to the Depositor the
Depositor's reimbursable expenses of organizing the Trust
and sale of the Trust Units in an amount certified to the
Trustee by the Depositor. If the balance of the Principal
Account is insufficient to make such withdrawal, the Trus-
tee shall, as directed by the Depositor, sell Securities
identified by the Depositor, or distribute to the Deposi-
tor Securities having a value, as determined under Section
4.01 as of the date of distribution, sufficient for such
reimbursement. The reimbursement provided for in this
section shall be for the account of the Unitholders of re-
cord at the conclusion of the primary offering period and
shall not be reflected in the computation of the Unit
Value prior thereto. As used herein, the Depositor's re-
imbursable expenses of organizing the Trust and sale of
-3-
the Trust Units shall include the cost of the initial
preparation and typesetting of the registration statement,
prospectuses (including preliminary prospectuses), the in-
denture, and other documents relating to the Trust, SEC
and state blue sky registration fees, the cost of the ini-
tial valuation of the portfolio and audit of the Trust,
the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee, and legal
and other out-of-pocket expenses related thereto, but not
including the expenses incurred in the printing of pre-
liminary prospectuses and prospectuses, expenses incurred
in the preparation and printing of brochures and other ad-
vertising materials and any other selling expenses. Any
cash which the Depositor has identified as to be used for
reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section shall
be reserved by the Trustee for such purpose and shall not
be subject to distribution or, unless the Depositor other-
wise directs, used for payment of redemptions in excess of
the per-Unit amount allocable to Units tendered for re-
demption.
D. The third paragraph of Section 3.05 is hereby
amended to add the following sentence after the first sen-
tence thereof: "Depositor may direct the Trustee to in-
vest the proceeds of any sale of Securities not required
for the redemption of Units in eligible money market in-
struments selected by the Depositor which will include
only negotiable certificates of deposit or time deposits
of domestic banks which are members of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and which have, together with their
branches or subsidiaries, more than $2 billion in total
assets, except that certificates of deposit or time depos-
its of smaller domestic banks may be held provided the de-
posit does not exceed the insurance coverage on the in-
strument (which currently is $100,000), and provided fur-
ther that the Trust's aggregate holding of certificates of
deposit or time deposits issued by the Trustee may not ex-
ceed the insurance coverage of such obligations and U.S.
Treasury notes or bills (which shall be held until the ma-
turity thereof) each of which matures prior to the earlier
of the next following Distribution Date or 90 days after
receipt, the principal thereof and interest thereon (to
the extent such interest is not used to pay Trust ex-
penses) to be distributed on the earlier of the 90th day
after receipt or the next following Distribution Date."
E. The first sentence of each of Sections 3.10,
3.11 and 3.12 is amended to insert the following language
at the beginning of such sentence, "Except as otherwise
provided in Section 3.13,".

F. The following new Section 3.13 is added:
Section 3.13. Extraordinary Event - Security Reten-
tion 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 De-
positor 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

visions of Section 3.12 hereof, as set forth in the pro-
spectus for a Trust. Definitions following this defini-
tion (9) shall be renumbered.
H. Section 3.05 is hereby amended to add the fol-
lowing 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 pursu-
ant to Section 3.12 the amount of the Deferred Sales
Charge payable on each such date as stated in the prospec-
tus 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 fol-
lowing 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
-5-
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 pro-
spectus for a Trust.
K. Section 3.12 shall be added as follows:
Section 3.12. Deferred Sales Charge. If the pro-
spectus 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 Ac-
counts are insufficient to make any such withdrawal, the
Trustee shall, as directed by the Depositor, either ad-
xxxxx funds, if so agreed to by the Trustee, in an amount
equal to the proposed withdrawal and be entitled to xxxx-
bursement 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 dis-
tributed in kind and shall contain, if the Trustee is di-
rected 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 De-
positor shall purchase such Unit pursuant to the terms of
Section 5.02 hereof, the Depositor shall pay the Redemp-
tion Price for such Unit less the unpaid portion of the
Deferred Sales Charge. The Depositor may at any time in-
struct the Trustee to distribute to the Depositor cash or
Securities previously credited to the special Depositor's
account.
